Election-2019 in the VUCA world!

Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous (VUCA) is the world we now live in. corroboration is to be seen in the events of the last one month which is also the first of 2019. These 31 days certainly feel like more than one month.

Between the U.S. government shutdown; government of India approving merger of Dena Bank and Vijaya Bank with Bank of Baroda; a viral and controversial new Gillette ad inviting men to work on toxic masculinity; Government rejecting a demand for a JPC to probe the alleged scam in Rafale jet deal; the EU passing a ban on a range of single-use plastics; the mind-blowing and awe-provoking glimpses of the KUMBH at Prayag; the unbelievable and provocative glimpses of the future at the annual Consumer Electronics Show, the revolving-stage at the rock-star like show of Modi in Surat, a major new study finding that that oceans are warming 40 percent faster than many scientists had previously estimated, the job-creation or the lack of it data from NDA rule; the hope-inspiring-hope-depressing thoughts from Davos; Supreme Court getting caught in the politics of CBI chief; never-ending Brexit drama; Mayawati facing ED heat; the Ocean Cleanup system breaking down and being towed back to port for repair; more fugitives being extradited to India from the middle-east; weather extremes–US Midwest in deep freeze, prolonged cold spell in north India and a burning Australia; the ‘jumalebaaj or a congenital liar’ label being stuck on both of the Prime Ministerial aspirants of 2019; the 10-year challenge on social media; a series of reports on breakthrough new bio-materials; Indian cricket victories down-under; Israel claiming that a cure for cancer is only a year away; Sabarimala temple issue igniting Kerala; and many other stories big and small — a lot has happened in just a few short weeks after we rang in the new year.

In the midst of all the good, bad and ugly types of news, 2019 is also the year India is electing the 17th Lok Sabha to be voted in by nearly 100 million first time voters - the courageously optimistic youth which defines the Good Life of tomorrow in an entirely different way from the 70-80 million people who were voters for the last time during the previous general election of 2014 and who are not there to vote in 2019.

India deserves and therefore we, the people, need to pull together and elect the best leadership paving the road ahead towards superior governance, efficient public services and shoring up of national, racial & cultural pride to actually deliver the Good Life in question.
