Po[love]litical Science




  
Po[love]litical Science

In a Parliamentary Democratic Republic all the executive actions of the government are taken in the name of the President, with negligible role in almost all the ideas, policies, proposals and legislations introduced in the Parliament.
Likewise, is the case with my mind, all the good I do, all my introspective thoughts, decisions & actions are taken on her name, though it is me, who is the 'actual' chief policy maker.
She might have been a symbolic person, just a nominal head, not of much importance according to observers, hence termed a 'rubber stamp'. But, for me she was an important and integral part of me; even if she had no real power or control over me.
Just like a President, the most important symbol of a Republic irrespective of his powers!
         

Fun fact:
Did you know the President of India is said to have a bigger pocket than that of the President of America? ;)

The answer is: The Pocket Veto!

Unlike the President of America, in India the President has the power to not take a decision on a bill passed by the Parliament for an indefinite period of time. This is called the Pocket Veto and hence the joke about having a deeper pocket !
PS:  I wrote this one, a long while back. Just that it never made it to the blog from the draft phase. I have been keeping very busy and hence unable to write something new, that's worth putting up here. By reading & deducing from something that belongs to the past doesn't imply it's the same in the present, situations and people change.....





"Change is eternal, undeniable... It is the only permanent in this impermanent world."


Things might be bad, life might not be great or maybe things are great and life may never have been this great! Irrespective of either, it's good to be grounded and be prepared. For everything changes, nothing lasts, except perhaps memories.

So, while you're at it, do make some good memories no matter how things are in life. ;)

Keeping with the theme of this blog, the very institution of Parliament is for bringing in change to laws according to the needs of the time. If the Parliament stagnates, it indicates the imminent death of the democracy.
