Aaj Ki Aawaz

The way Sonia is shuffling her pack seems the pack will wear out pretty soon!!!! Khuda na kare ki shuffling khatam hoe aur Sarkaar gir jaye!!!!

Seems if there is something Indian that Sonia has imbibed then that would be superstition!!! Insiders say that Madam is superstitious ………has become even more superstitious after her failed PM attempt!!! In fact if she becomes PM she will stay put in 10 Janpath…….at 7 Race Course every incumbent has had to move out ?????

Both Congress and BJP are giving their first time MPs coaching classes……short tackle, long tackle, tripping, shamming…..no not the football type…but Indian Parliament type. Mock runs of running into the Well of the House!!! How to keep on speaking as the Opposition heckles and how to heckle Opposition speakers!!! How to be TV Camera savvy and not snooze, dig nose or yawn while seated in the House!!!! Then the three monkey act…..speak and hear no evil about your Party and Party colleagues and definitely close your eyes when you see your Party or your Party colleagues doing something wrong!!!!

Manmohan has written to all the CMs to ensure stability in Governance. Letter to Bihar CM has been delivered to Laloo……Manmohan is not naïve!!!! His fellow Congressmen have asked him to write to Sonia on the same grounds…..Congressmen say that situation is very unstable within Congress. Secret is that this advice was actually only for Bihar but viewing the Alliance compulsions Manmohan made it an all Indian exercise!!!!

If you see Shibu Soren incognito do not be surprised!!!!! He has asked his Security to 'scoot at sight' …with him of course….if any Jharkhand cops are seen!!! Manmohan really needs to sit up and smell the stink!!!

Is it possible that Bansi Lal's Bansi will play Congress music???? Bhajan Lal has been practically benched ……and the other Haryana Congress Leaders do not have the required charisma!!!! Congress Leaders are worried that if Bansi comes into Congress he will do 'nas bandhi' of their political futures!!!!

Does NAC also mean….National Announcing Committee???? Well, if does not then why is the Chairman making announcements for the Government??? Like the relief to the families affected by the fire in Tamil Nadu!!!!

Seems KPS Gill must have been fond of musical chairs in his junior days…..and the love has carried on even in his senior days……he makes the players and managers play musical chairs……music, of course, is KPS's music…they have to play to his tune!!!!

The way Rahul Dravid keeps on saving India …..please add 'Great' before Wall and 'of India' after Wall. Seems our opening pair is going through a honeymoon phase…..Sehwag is still on a honeymoon with wifey and Sachin is on a honeymoon with his Ferrari!!!!

Hulka Fulka….Salmaan Khan is on the rebound……from Ash and his bad boy days!!!! Now men in the Industry can talk to Ash in public without receiving threatening calls from Salmaan!!! Salmaan of yore….Tehre ishq mein kya kya nahi kiya maine Ash, kabhi ho gaya tha rash ( ran over people) and kabhi kar diya logon ko bash ( There is a Bollywood song …..Maine tehre pyaar mein kya kay nahi kiya Meena kabhi banaa kutha kabhi kameena).

Salmaan has also turned consultant for broken hearts and broken affairs in Bollywood……payment is cash or kind!!!!! He now goes by a new name…..from Dilfekh Bhai now he is Dil Jod Bhai!!!!!
