Aaj Ki Aawaz
Dekh Tehre logo ki halath kya kardi is Tsunami ne,
Why did You make so many people pay???

But then who knows Your ways….giving and taking life is in Your haath,
You can make raath into day and day into raath.

Ae mere watan ke logo badhao apna haath,
Doh in museebath ke maaro ka saath.

TV Channels show people moaning their lost ones,
Beloved mothers, fathers , wives, husbands, daughters and sons.

Bodies lie unclaimed ….families wiped out so nobody there to claim,
No one to carry on the Family name!

Take this as His sent opportunity to sense and do something for others pain,
Make relief literally rain.

If the Americans knew about the earthquake in Sumatra why the hell did they not sound an alarm??
Tsunami struck India after three hours and early warning could have saved people from harm.

But USA excuses itself saying that in this area there is no Tsunami Early Warning Cell,
They say they did not know whom to tell???

Fools could have got in touch with the Foreign Office so that a warning could have been sounded,
At least something could have been done …..not caught abs dumbfounded!!!!

But then with Bush at the helm IQ in USA runs low,
And about their technology saving Mankind these people falsely crow????

The Media is giving info on what is a Tsunami…..fact is it is an act of God,
Shows sometimes He does use the rod.

Vajpayee has doffed his hat to Rao for India's Nuclear test,
Well all I can say is that he knows best.

But if Rao wanted it to be a secret than why did Vajpayee let the cat out of the bag???
Maybe Rao had felt that the Nuclear test would make his image sag???

Anyway Vajpayee did it as a mark of respect to a departed dost,
Tried to credit his friend…for his friend made this boast.

Fact is Rao was Mr. Indecisive….waited for matters to take their own course,
If things went okay then he took the credit and if they went wrong blamed the source.

Bitta should be given the Award for his Loyalty to Rao…..Loyalty ki misaal,
Nothing could waiver him from his loyalty to Rao……also when Rao was PM made some maal!!!

Gaur is a worried man……putting Quick Fix on his Chair,
Is really worried about Uma's supporters dare.

The Friendship Games have cost Punjab over Rs. 50 crores…add to this lost man hours,
For a cash strapped State this really mars.

In Punjab they need to unbundle Raja…..too much power concentrated with him,
And then he acts as per his whims and this is something very grim.

Raja says his Police is only good at catching petty robberies….Punjab Police (PP) is not too happy,
Say that they cannot act as they've been bound up by Politicians in a nappy.

But on the flip side Amrinder is credited by keeping the PP in its place,
Because PP does not have a very humane or efficient face.

Laloo will be fined for distribution of money,
So he will be indirectly distributing a bigger amount to EC…..how very funny!!!

Now distribute money and pay EC a fine,
Politicians are going to fearlessly distribute money and outside EC Office to pay fine there is gong to be a line!!!

Hulka Fulka

Anil says he was not consulted for the Share Buyback,
Prior to the Board Meeting opened his attack.

Anil alleges that there is some jiggery pokery in the Share Buyback….andar ki baath,
Points to Insider Trading ……points that behind all this is Mukesh Camp ka haath.

Is Rs. 570 a fair price???
Looking at the clouds on the horizon for Reliance this should suffice???

Anil said quoting a Chinese philosopher ….War's objective is peace!!!
Confucius says….There has to be a truce or victor and loser for hostilities to cease!!!

For Peace in this case there has to be a victor and looser as truce is improbable,
Long drawn war and many FII's have already put on Reliance the 'unstable' label.

But for the brave-hearts instability is money making time….will buy as the Share falls,
And in the Derivative Markets make the right calls.

Confucius says….An Empire built on Investors trust should not let down this trust.
He continues…..Where trust bought in prosperity distrust can make the Empire go bust.
