The best way to know the self is feeling oneself at the moments of reckoning. The feeling of being alone, just with your senses, may lead you to think more consciously. More and more of such moments may sensitize ‘you towards you’, towards others. We become regular with introspection and retrospection. We get ‘the’ gradual connect to the higher self we may name Spirituality or God or just a Humane Conscious. We tend to get a rhythm again in life. We need to learn the art of being lonely in crowd while being part of the crowd. A multitude of loneliness in mosaic of relations! One needs to feel it severally, with conscience, before making it a way of life. One needs to live several such lonely moments. One needs to live severallyalone.

DID BJP JUST GOT ITS OWN ROBERT VADRA ISSUE TO HANDLE?

In Vasundhara Raje Scindia's son Dushyant Singh?

Dushyant Singh is a Bhartiya Janata Party MP from Jhalawar-Baran in Rajasthan. Obviously, he is a self-made politician even if he belongs to a royal family and her mother is the chief-minister of the state he is elected from!

A report says Enforcement Directorate has found anomaly in a financial transaction between Dushyant Singh's company and Lalit Modi's firm.

And the details are potent enough to create a 'Robert Vadra' sort of controversy. In fact, it has started.

Allegations say Lalit Modi's firm, Anand Heritage Hotels Private Ltd, infused over 11.60 crore in Dushyant Singh's Niyant Heritage Hotels Private Limited. Vasundhara Raje Scindia was Rajasthan's CM then (in her first term).

The break-up includes an unsecured loan of 3.80 crore in 2008 and purchase of 815 shares of Rs. 10 each, at over 96,000 for another 7.8 crore, in subsequent years.

Now, as there are allegations, so there are political justifications, like we have been witnessing in Robert Vadra's case.

Every justification has proved shady in Robert Vadra's issue after the persistent row over his meteoric rise post 2007 and his controversial land deals in Haryana and Rajasthan. Congress and Rahul Gandhi must find answers to the 'unanswered questions' related to him if they have to talk of the politics of probity.

Obvious parallels are being drawn in Dushyant Singh's case. Any logic cannot justify why Lalit Modi invested that much money in a firm that was established in 2005 with capitals of Rs. 50,000 each from Dushyant Singh and his wife. Even family friends (Lalit Modi claims he knows Vasundhara's family for years) don't do such acts of 'misplaced largesse'. That makes us go back to the only one reason, the most plausible one - that his mother was then the chief-minister of Rajasthan.

Yes, Robert Vadra controversy has been widely played out by the political opponents and handling it requires a difficult approach as he belongs to a family that is Congress' pivot. Congress of the day, even if humiliated and electorally out, is nothing without the Nehru-Gandhi family.

On the other hand, as the sources say right now, the BJP may ask Vasundhara to come clean on both issues - on her support to Lalit Modi for his immigration papers to the UK and on Lalit Modi's money in his son's firm.

Yes, the BJP would do all to thwart any efforts to shape this as 'Robert Vadra's parallel of the BJP' and the party is in better position to take action as the BJP can survive without Vasundhara Raje Scindia as Rajasthan's chief-minster and without her son.

Let's wait and watch to see what happens next.
