Mother India……..well to become India's PM it is mandatory to have a Mother India and India should be the candidate's Mother India…by birth. Just a reality check for Sonia…..Mother India in her own right!!!!!

Bihar is imprisoned by floodwaters and some of Bihar's MPs are fighting another kind of imprisonment!!!! Rabdi says Bihar is bankrupt……she has sent an SOS to her OSD in Delhi…….OSD is preoccupied in proving that he himself and the other RJD Ministers in the Cabinet are not tainted but painted by the Opposition as tainted!!!! He has informed Rabdi…..Jabh fundooa (funds) pahuchenge hum bhi pahunch jaoonga!!!!

Was there a typographical error in the Budget on the Turnover Tax……0.015% was mistakenly typed as 0.15% !!!! If not then this act of PC will be known as the Turnaround Tax!!!!! In Mumbai Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, the current King Bull, is a happy man…….will his happiness be short-lived???? By the way there must be some reason why Jhunjhunwala was so concerned about the day trader and the small brokers…and the Turnover Tax??????

PC sang 'Main Hoo Na' before correcting the mistake/doing the turnaround…..the Day Traders and Brokers sang ' Sabh FM PC jaise kyon nahi hothe'( sung to the tune of Ladkiya Ladko jaise kyon nahi ho sakthi from Main Hoo Naa)……FIIs sang , happily……This happens only in India ( hope you remember that Govinda Movie which has this song)!!!!!

Dasmunshi performed painless surgery…..actually put forward Congress's viewpoint and CPI couldn't say a word because of the lollipop he put in CPI's mouth……well he lambasted Sitaram Yechury , warned the CPI in no uncertain terms and reminded CPI that Congress was carrying CPI and not vice versa….. this carries a hidden message!!!! CPI is mum because before making this statement he put a lollipop in CPIs mouth as Minister of Water Resources!!!!! In fact it was like lighting a fire and then dousing it with water!!!!!

Wonders of wonders…….BJP and Commies will oppose FDI…….BJP and Commies agreeing with each other……. FDI……..Foes Doing the Impossible!!!!! The gel in between being SP!!!!

Pakistan prime minister-designate Shaukat Aziz has described Prime Minister Manmohan Singh as his 'guru' at a lunch hosted by President Gen Pervez Musharraf in honour of visiting SAARC foreign ministers, including External Affairs Minister K Natwar Singh…..that makes Sonia his Mahaa Guru!!!! Actually Shaukat is a Banker and must be enamoured by Manmohan's economics. Natwar of course gave Shaukat advice on economics….he requested that Shaukat should be economical while praising Manmohan but be just the opposite while praising Sonia…Shaukat was last seen referring to the Oxford Dictionary on the meaning of 'economics' and 'diplomacy'.

'Will Power' is in full force in the Birla - Lodha face off. Birla's basically do not want Lodha to get a back door entry on their Boards via Pilani Investments and want M.P. Birla's intentions that his money should go to charity to be fulfilled. So now MP's and his Wife's will be considered in conjunction……convergence of Wills…or marriage of Wills!!!!

Hulka Fulka… Indian Cricket Teams Mr. Reliable , Rahul Dravid has women drooling over him…..seems his Wife will have to don the role of The Wall to stop these women .

Tendulkar is livid with his detractors….in the Media…..he says that the do not know the ABC of cricket…… Adulation , Betting and Cash…..would he like to go up to Z????? By the way practically every time he comes out to bat, Tendu is breaking some record...reminds one of Gavaskar!!!!
