Aaj Ki Aawaz

Natwar Singh was powerless for quite some time and it was felt that the acidity in his thoughts and speech would have reduced!!! But, seems he still has the same level of acidity!!!! The visiting Pakistan Foreign Secretary, on his recent visit to India, expressed his urgency to return to Pakistan as PM trouble had broken out there. Natwar , at his acidic best, informed his counterpart that India had quite a few ex PMs and Pakistan could help itself to any one!!!! Well the Pakistani Foreign Minister, diplomatically, kept silent or he could have responded that the present lot of retired Indian PMs were not the 'Dynastic' type …..a plus point because Pakistanis rid themselves of two Dynastic Families…..in fact something India should also keep at bay, more so because of India's Democratic credentials…. he could have offered Musharaff's TOT for keeping Dynastic Politicians at bay!!!!! Mister Foot in Mouth does it again!!!!

Laloo is expected to provide for three new Super fast trains in the Rail Budget…..two will originate from Patna and one from Delhi. This impetus has a motive…..Laloo wants to reduce the population in Bihar…….he wants them to fan out in India so that he can stake claim to be a National Leader…as usual for domiciles of Bihar there will be not ticket.

Both Manmohan and Somnath Chaterjee have been waving the white flag since yesterday!!!! But, the Budget boycott by BJP is very much on. Shivraj 'Tamancha' (because of his love for guns) Patil shoots from his mouth……the sacked Governors were not ideologically tuned!!!!! This is no longer a Democracy it is Congress Raaj……Congressmen who are used to being totally tuned to the High Command have a 'tuning' complex!!! Basically Congress is a Dictatorship aspiring to run a Democracy!!!!

By the way Manmohan speaking up for the Tainted Ministers is being construed as Manmohan trying to cover up the taint of these Ministers with whiteness of his Honesty!!!!! Confusions says …Honest man standing up for the dishonest must be prepared to sit with the dishonest also!!!!!

Vajpayee has advised the UPA Government to change its UPA (Unrealistic and Perverse Attitude) !!!! Difficult……in fact impossible …..UPA is a blending pot of cultures…..Congress (sycophancy, selfishness and unfaithfulness), RJD (goonism) , NCP (machiavellian flip floppiness ) , DMK ( compulsive) and the fire below the pot is kind courtesy the Commies and the stirrer or what we call 'kadchaa ' in the pot is the ambition of UPA constituents.
Removal of Gujarat and UP Governors could also be a prequel of 'Project Destabilize' initiated by Congress in these two States. Maybe James Micheal Lyngdoh could be the next Governor of Gujarat. Modi will then sing……James Micheal khali phokat pangaa kartha hai ( tune like the famous yesteryear Bollywood song….Micheal pee kar danga karta hai). Confucius says …When you are on first name terms with someone you are supposed to be friends!!!!

Now something light…halka fulka…..Imran says that the divorce was not because of a third angle….pro Jemima…..actually how can a Pathan's ego accept that his Lady love could go to the arms of someone else!!!! Pathans feel that like Obelix (Astrix and Obelix) they fell into a cauldron of Viagra when they were tots!!! Hence, Pathans feel they are a blessing to the Female population!!!!

Speaking of Viagra…….they say Viagra is going to spend US$ 100 Million to boost Viagra sales…….ideally they should gave Viagra a Viagra to achieve the boost and save all that money!!!!

The Big Fat Greek Win……Greece were not even dark horses….their winning the Euro Cup is a 100 to 1 odds like win. Could it be possible that the Cricket betting syndicate has moved into football????

India is a proud Country and we consider ourselves second to none. But, with the RJD Gang coming to power in Delhi, Indians are feeling let down. Many feel that Laloo will do to the Railways what he has done to Bihar…. Saare Jahan se acchaa Hindustan Hamaara, Railways get ready you have at the helm a person who can even digest chaara!!!!
