FORUM
Aaj Ki Aawaz

First Musharraf invited Sonia and now he has invited President Kalam…….why is he not inviting Manmohan?????? Does he equate the Indian Prime Minister status to be like that of his own PMs????

Is the downsizing of Cabinets a headache or a boon for Congress??? Fifty fifty!!!! But, the downsizing is going to have a cascading effect and a lot of adjustments will have to be done.

Speaking of adjustments……Modi has found his way to appease his Ministers and the Leader of the Opposition…….he has given each of them an Optra Lollipop. What Lollipop does he plan to give Keshubhai???? Pajero Lollipop!!!!

Hope you have been viewing the Euro Cup…….you would have noted that goal scorers celebrate after scoring goals by jumping, skidding, pulling up their shirts over their heads etc……but goalkeepers who save goals do not do so…..surprising when you realize that goals saved contribute to matches as do goals scored. Well, Manmohan could be equated to the goalkeeper….does not get into the hoopla for the work he is doing. On the other hand take Laloo……he is like a player who runs to the crowd for applause even for a pass……or for even missing a pass (so as to blame some one else)!!!!

Manmohan has ordered that his photograph should not be used in advertisements of Ministries and State Governments. Well he is aware of the jiggery-pokery going on and must be wanting to keep himself out of it all. Ads usually are for hype and Manmohan rightly wants to be no part of this hype
Manmohan will be standing from his ex Boss's constituency Nandyal!!!! Manmohan should take some lessons in the local dialect from Surjeet Singh Barnala…while he is at it he should also learn Punjabi expletives translated into the local dialect…will come handy!!!!

Seems UP is in for some hot times….that is politically. Rahul has decided to get into reorganizing and revitalizing Congress in UP. Only problem is that Rahul Baba has a weak constitution and is sensitive to many things!!!! Amar Singh comes top on the list!!!!!

Venkiah Naidu aka Si(y)llable Naidu has been elected to the Rajya Sabha from Karnataka. Well, now the elders will have to bear his 'syllable monologues'…….but there are rumors within BJP that Naidu's Presidency is on the weak wicket……tell him this and he will respond….. this remove Naidu operation shows the desperation and is Media's creation!!!! Whose desperation???? Await Naidu's response!!!!

Mayawathi's Maya Jaal is giving worrying moments to BJP and Shiv Sena in Maharashtra. Emissaries have been going to and fro……Mayawathi demands are voluminous!!!! Circumstances have changed and Mayawathi may have to do with chocolates and flowers that Sonia had gifted her initially!!!!! Taj (corridor) is making Mayawathi compromise on her hunger for the Taj (crown)!!!!

George Ferandes was seen the other day walking to Parliament….a colleague offered him a lift but George refused. Convener of the NDA using the '11 (legs) number public transport' does not show the NDA in good light!!!! George Sahib there are other ways of showing your Socialism….like use the Official Car but fuel it up from your own pocket!!!!!!
Do Congressmen distrust Bhajan Lal???? What was the need for three Congressmen , Hooda, Kiran Chowdhury and Yadav, to take a peek into Bhajan's Ballot during the Rajya Sabha Polls!!!! Did they suspect some insider trading?????
