Aaj Ki Aawaz

In the West there is an adage that is used to make people recover from the loss of a partner…..get on with your life. They have a 'mending' period and then after that they bounce back….in 95% of cases find a new life partner, age being no bar. Well, apart from her superstition, Sonia also imbibed the Indian way and not the Western way of 'getting on with her life' after Rajiv Gandhi. Like many Indian women she immersed herself in her children. What has to be recognized should be recognized. Mother India is unique to India……the love and the sacrifices…and Sonia qualifies to be Mother India.

After the revelation that George Fernandes was strip searched in the U.S., Shahnawaz Hussein has made it Public that he too was on the verge of being strip-searched …but they let him off with just some frisking. The Maharaja came to his rescue……well the Air India people informed the strippers turned friskers that he was India's Civil Aviation Minister!!!! Couldn't something similar have been done in defense of our Defense Minister?????

The Supreme Court has sent Papu Yadav to Jail…….Papu was putting on too much weight in Hospital, so the Courts decided that he should loose some his flab by putting him on a Jail Diet in Jail. Papu is planning to approach the Courts praying that he should be readmitted in Hospital on a Jail diet. Papu says that he has a tried and tested method for reducing his flab…he should be allowed to roam free….walking really burns his calories!!!!!

After the 'classes' that MPs have been made to go through……Somnath Da has a word of advice for them…he says that they should not 'bunk' Parliament. In fact if Somnath Da had his way he would link asking questions and Voting to attendance!!!!

Next time Musharaff (Mush) comes to India Natwar will make it a 'Classical Visit'……Natwar's in the know that Mush is fond of classical things!!!! Only hope that he does not take Mush to Delhi's equivalent of Lahore's 'Classical Singing' and 'Classical Dancing' area !!!! Of course, Natwar will gift Mush a classical Coffee Table Book on the House of Patiala……no not the one written by one of the erstwhile Maharaja's Minister that informs and elaborates on the Maharaja's 'love for living' and 'living for love'……love , of course being politely used for his voracious appetite where women were concerned.

News is that Shibu Soren went to see Gayab at a Delhi Cinema Hall and has become Gayab ever since. The Jharkhand Cops should contact the Director of Gayab and get an insight at what Shibu could have used from the movie to become Gayab.

Hulka Fulka…..Kushwant Singh's son has penned a book on his Dad titled 'In the name of the Father' …by the son ….but it does not rake up any Ghosts……holy or unholy. Kushwant says that his son , being a dutiful son, has not thrown light on his Mr. Hyde part…all that he has written about is Dr. Jekyll.

Ads make the Marketing world go round……Motorola's new ad calls its new Phone …Moto. Now Moto is how a Punjabi husband lovingly calls his overweight wife!!! In Punjabi speaking areas the name Moto would prove counterproductive….or would it prove to be productive???? Page Three Members are up in arms on the SUMO ad. They say aren't we real people?????
