There is viral bug in Congress…..the Viral Bug has recognized Manmohan as Number Two in Congress…first the Bug affected the Numero Uno Sonia…. and now it has affected Manmohan!!!! But, then it could also be that the Viral Bug affects only the sensitive ….so Sonia and Manmohan were affected…..rest of the Congrerssis are of the type that would give a viral to the bug!!!!

Congress's mouthpiece Sandesh is explicit in giving the Sandesh about Manmohan's status in the Party. Apart form a teeny weeny mention about Manmohan rest of the magazine is devoted to Madam Sonia…….even Kamalnath gets more exposure than Manmohan in the magazine!!!! Sorry but the way Congressis are behaving………. their reaction to Manmohan is akin to the reaction an unexpected and unwanted child gets!!!!

Today this Government completes its first 100 days in Government…..Manmohan celebrates it in bed. Report Card of first 100 days is not good as people now feel that UPA stands for Unfulfilled Promises Alliance!!!!

Mulayam's Government too achieves a milestone…..one year in Government. Both Manmohan and Mulayam exchange cards……congratulations and thank you for your unwanted support!!!

But many wonder that with Manmohan and PC why is this Government floundering???? Fact is that both are hostages…….abductors……Sonia, Commies, Tainted Five and Loose Canons ( Natwar and Aiyer) !!!!! Both have been in captivity for 100 days and now the fear is that even if they are released, because of the Stockholm Syndrome they have now developed sympathy for their abductors!!!!

Did not know that Aiyer was so short sighted….. Aiyer says he has no objection to Shiv Sena's Joota Jhado protest as the Cut Out on which the Sainiks rain their shoes on looks more like Ram Naik!!!! Naik has taken this to heart…..he just cannot bear it that Aiyer says that he has a resemblance with Aiyer!!!! When Aiyer got the Ministry of Petroleum one of Naik's chamchas had commented, " Yede chaa haath peda" (Peda in the hand of a madman).

Beware the ides of September!!!! Entire Congress has whatever is crossable crossed in fear that the astrological prognosis may come true!!! From a five day match this seems to becoming a One Day Match!!! Only hope that if UPA loses this match Mahajan does not do a Ganguly….take off his shirt and run about hurling the choicest expletives!!!!

Hulka Fulka……..Shekar Suman should not be surprised if he is harassed by Cops wherever he goes…and that goes for his Bandaroowa too!!! After his exposé on the Sleeping Cops in his programme Poll Khol, Cops are up in arms against him!!!!

Dutt tehri ki…..Sunil Dutt is in denial!!!! Why else would he say that India's performance at the Olympics was not bad!!!! Confucius says……. first step to remedy is acceptance!!!!

Randhir Singh and Kalamadi are old war horses…..they know that public memory is short-lived……so both of them will lie low……of course they will continue meddling with Indian sports while lying low!!!! In fact there is a demand that a Dope Test be carried out on these two!!! This Dope Test tests for intelligence!!!

Is Anil Ambani lady killer ?-visit News and Views section

Whisper's questions you on the Lady Killers???

All of them are Lady Killers in their rights,
So please do not instigate fights.

Some of them are bachelors and some of them married,
Bachelors are all Mummy's boys and that has the women harried.

The married ones have wives who keep them in total check,
Do not allow them even a external friendly peck.

Today's women want old wine ,
Fernandes , Vajpayee and even Laloo make some women pine.

Indian Politics is full of Lady Killers…young and old,
There are so many love stories in the cupboards that are untold.

Indian Politicians trace their Lady Killer image to Nehru…the Master in this game,
Quite a few are hoping that Rahul would turn out just the same.
