Aaj Ki Awaz

A 'horny' ( gung ho) Chidambram says that we should expect a 'sexy' Budget (http://www.rediff.com/money/2004/jun/03fmspeak.htm)!!!! However, the gentleman knows that the party-poopers , Commies, are sharpening their red pencils………..Commies will nominate Bardan and Sitaram to a preview of the Budget at 7 Race Course. Why 7 Race Course????? Because from now on till the Commies continue to support the Congress Alliance this is neutral ground?????

Chidambram's biggest worry is raising the resources to fund the Party promised in the CMP. Confucius says…..Socialism and pessimism are Country cousins.

' Lalloo ban gaya Gentleman' ……Lalloo wants to change his image. He is on the look out for some PR Agency which can change his image. He also wants to compete with Paswan's Red Living Room……Lalloo will have a Blue Room!!!!! By the way with rumours of Paswan and Congress cozying up , Lalloo's mood will match the colour of his living room….blues.

By the way Lalloo has quite a few OSDs…….OSD Spittoon, OSD Kheni, OSD Sattoo……the designation explains the responsibility explicitly. But, how does Lalloo plan to travel incognito to check on the Railways……well he will dress up in a suit and behave like a gentleman……nobody will dream that he is Lalloo!!!!!

A harmless ad in Newspapers by Agarwal Packers and Movers with the slogan…..Lalloo moving to Chenai, has caused turmoil in Chenai. In fact such was the panic that Karunanidhi and Jayalalitha met to discuss matters!!!!! Laloo does this to people……he makes them doubt themselves.

Speaking of OSDs……..Rahul has his ASD …..Ayah on Special Duty…..Rajiv Shukla. He takes his job seriously and chaperons Rahul in Parliament. Rahul should be embarrassed………imagine a person who aspires to be PM one day needs someone to Ayah him in Parliament?????

With the Southern impact in the Cabinet , now the Parliament Canteen may increase the Southern exposure in its Menu. Maybe the Punjabi fare will be given a Southern touch……coconut will be added to all dishes. Imagine Dal Makhan wala and Butter Chicken with coconut in the recipe??????

Natwar Singh may be politely asked to write a two page essay by the High Command…..Topic…….Who is the Boss????? 10 Janpath Coterie and Manmohan are intrigued on Natwar's recent statements. All want Natwar to assure that he will not bowl any 'doosras' ……in this case means without the knowledge of Alaa Command and flummoxes them.

Stock Markets have entered Indian Politics……F&O deals have been initiated by BSP and Congress. SP is selling short ……..the general perception is that the Commies are heavy into insider trading!!!!!
