2015: Case of expectations from leaderships

[This was published in BOGOTA FREE PLANET, COLOMBIA on 13 April 2015]

Realistically enough, there are some issues/events/topics which hardly breathe their last breath once they have come to light. This happens because of their inherent appeal and basic characteristics that get recurred with renewed pledges and flavor in the milieu of time, space and dimension. One of such exercises is the write-up in issue.  This is, in actuality, an extension of my article ‘At the arrival of 2013’, 7 January 2013 in the African Herald Express, ‘On the eve of 2014’, 27 December 2013 in Dhaka Courier and ‘Expectations from leaderships 2015’, 01 January 2015 in Daily Observer].

Certainly, political leadership is the heart and wheel of a nation’s focus and identity at home and abroad. But leaderships in all other fields encompassing arts, industries, science and technology, religion and culture and so on are equally important and unavoidable. Therefore, on the eve of the stepping  into happy New Year 2015 let, let our felling and urges be overhauled and geared up In expectation of getting many a leader in almost all the possible areas in the world at large after the spirit, vision and mission as follows:

Sensing, sensing from reality taking place in the planet called earth

Understanding, understanding from reality taking place in the planet named earth

 Realizing, realizing from reality taking place in the planet also called world

Encompassing the continents Asia, Africa, Europe, Australia, Antarctica

North America and South America

Having more than two hundred states and territories

 Within and without the fold of United Nations

 I am waiting not for a leader in any state or territory single

Single in the field having all the powers accumulated in the fist

Either in party or in parliament or in government or in any area

Covering non-government commercial and non-commercial establishments

Showing thumbs to possible routes to the

Growth and development of leaderships more and more;

I am waiting not for a leader single in the field
Surrounded by followers
Mostly sycophants, uncommitted, insincere and opportunists
Beating the drums all the time of having been impregnated with
So-called patriotism and humanitarianism after the spirit of
Party’s ideological goals and objectives and being faithful
Honestly to the electoral charter and manifesto as if
As if, nobody can match them on any accounts today or tomorrow.

Sensing, understanding and realizing  from reality taking place in the world at large
I am waiting for many a leader whose
Feelings, thoughts, beliefs, studies and pursuits
Full of patriotism, rhythms, wave and intonation
Tuned stanchly to the soil of the land
Remaining ever fresh whose vision and mission for
Taking the nation to the cherished goal and destination.

I’m waiting for a many leader whose
Words and deeds allow no chasm between
Movements, waves, practice and directions
Neither shall they suffer from mere political romanticism
Nor be they emotional at cheap clapping;
Neither shall they be a demagogue
Nor be they a dictator
Neither shall they be a Fabian
Nor be they a non-vigilant
Neither shall they get indulged in philosophical jargons
Meaningless or useless in their entirety
Nor be they reluctant to such queries in case of a necessity;
Neither shall they shed tears in time of
Odds, distress, crises and challenges coming from
Right or left or from
Front or back or from
Up or under or from
Two or more or even, even from all;
Nor be they over confident during the period of
Peace, tranquility and happiness.

I am waiting for a many leader who must not be
Parsimonious or hesitant or fell shy even to
Accept truth and beauty as they are;
Neither shall they budge from showing courage to
Acknowledge mistakes, follies and loopholes
Embracing corrections fittingly leaving
Leaving no a shade of hesitation and hypocrisy
Nor shall they be thrifty in appreciating other’s contributions
Big or small.

I’m waiting for a many leader distinctive who shall be in
Making a nice recipe of politics, economics, culture, religion
Science and technology and so on
Striking convincingly the essentials of sustainable development indeed
Indeed in the perspective of native land,
Holding rightly and tightly the nation’s interests at home and abroad
Keeping guarded eyes on the matters of
Bi-lateral, regional and global dimension and standing,
Past, present and future without major mistakes and follies
Sans fear or favor like a Royal Bengal Tiger,
Going above the interests of self, group or party on average
Waging relentless, unbending war against
Mendacity, injustice and unfairness.

I am waiting for many a leader who shall be away from
Playing foul with the people using the shields of
Democracy, human rights and social justice
Off and often or all the time almost.

I am waiting for many a leader who shall speak same on
National interests and issues making no sense of difference following
U-turn policy of double-standard while in power and while not
Upholding accountability and transparency even in the face of
Himalayan challenges.

I am waiting for many a leader who shall not hang merely after
Money, wealth, business, deals, name or fame for
Ensuring, consolidating and cementing life along the so-called line
‘From better to the best’ to the extreme of hedonism
Sidetracking or suppressing the millions
Anguishing and suffering from dearth of food, shelter and Medicare.

I am waiting for many a leader at various stages and points encircling
Political parties, their wings and associate bodies
Civil societies, Think-tanks, NGOs
Medias and Government as a whole.

I am waiting for many a leader who shall be bold enough
With the head held high in pride, not hung down in shames in the face of
Crude reality of globalization and challenges hereto.

I am waiting for many a leader who can laugh and cry

Sense, understand and realize readily the pulse and nerve of the people

People with and around

People far and near

I am waiting for many a leader who believe and relentlessly continues to believe

Time and tide waits for none

Who believe and firmly stick to the belief that

The most important time is now upon which rests future

Who believe and overhaul themselves all the time bearing in mind

Mere dependence on the glorious past amounts

Amounts to no action leading to fall down

Putting, putting full stop of the tone and tune of life.

Yes, yes, yes, I am eagerly waiting for many a leader who shall thus turn
Turn the state machinery into tools for serving the
Motherland and people regardless of
Caste, creed, color, religion, language and
Come what may not.

And sensing, understanding and realizing from reality taking place in the world at large

I’m waiting for many a leader who shall come and continue as a
Friend, guide and philosopher in the areas respectively like
Like a Loadstar in the evening sky putting an end to the

Ongoing negative approaches to and practices in politics and statecraft

Highlighting and upholding the overall interests of the nation

First and last of all, first and last of all.

And sensing, understanding and realizing from reality taking place in the world at large

I’m waiting for many a leader who shall come and continue as a
Friend, guide and philosopher in the areas respectively like
Like a Loadstar in the evening sky;

Let, let the march and message of democracy be embraced, sustained and geared by all

Living in the planet call we earth

Long live mankind and the friendly organizations, bodies and associations, grown or growing,

Centering and revolving around states and societies

Locally, nationally, regionally and internationally and

Long live, long live United Nations for serving the peoples irrespective of

Caste, creed and color in the world in full.

Yes, there is no denying the fact that the very theme and spirit of the above-mentioned words and sentences written in a prose-poetry form more or less echo and represent the asking and aspirations of all the peoples and nations in the world at large from the respective state of standpoints. Let the peoples in the countries in the continent of Asia, Africa, Europe, America (North and South), Australia and Antarctica as well feel free and be realistic enough to utter the same as above with a view to overhauling them again and again in expectation of better cemented and fortified future. Let there be born more and more leaders leading to statesmen in line with George Washington of USA, Gandhi and Nehru of India, Churchill of UK, Jinnah of Pakistam, De Gaulle of France, Lee Kuan Yew of Singapore, Dom Stephen Senanayake of Srilanka, Aung sen of Myanmar,  Bangababdhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman of Bangladesh, Nelsen Mandela of South Africa, Mahatir Mohamad of Malaysia, Angelino Garzon pf Colombia and so on to take and place the state(s) concerned befittingly in the comity of nations.

And let Bogota Free Planet of Colombia, a leader in the field of journalism and mass communication, move onward more audaciously without fear and/or favor under its ongoing bright leadership and thus face, stand and overcome the challenges, Himalayan or not, showing and establishing necessary commitments and transparency as a leading voice of the peoples in the world even in the days ahead of. Let the year 2015 be a source of inspiration and dedication for further expansion and swelling as a whole.
