FORUM
Aaj Ki Aawaz

In a way haar jeeth of the Bihar elections will be decided even before casting of votes,
Will Congress bend down or call Laloo's bluff……basically who moans and who gloats???

Paswan has offered Congress the CMs post …….but the MP numbers go against him,
Just on this account Congress LJP efforts loose vim.

At 10 Janpath they've worked out all the permutations and combinations…..Laloo is indispensable,
Hence ultimately Congress's tough stand is untenable.

Marthaa kya nahi karthaa is what will be Congreess's haalath,
Otherwise Allies are planning to create for Congress shaamath.

Manmohan's offer to Didi is because now Congress wants to create a Dada in West Bengal,
Hope that Didi Dada will Congress in West Bengal will walk tall!!!

Congress's prospects in Bengal will go up many fold with Didi Dada,
And Commies know of Congress's iraada.

At the way things are going a Mid Term election is on the cards…Congress or Allies treason????
Allies home turf wars will be the actual reason.

So Advani Ji roll up your sleeves and pull up your socks…..get BJP fighting fit,
You are the President and it is your duty to pull BJP out of its self dug pit.

But please note that Manmohan is slowly but surely toning up the Governance and the system,
Doctor is prescribing the medicines after checking each and every symptom.

So basically Manmohan is strengthening Governance and removing the anomalies,
Also ensuring that Government recognizes and removes the Governance follies.

Sonia too has proven to be better than what was feared,
By many of her actions she has gained in height and also endeared.

Can there be a rapprochement between Congress and SP….between Sonia and Mulayam's Amar???
Though both have vowed to beak each other's Party's kamar.

Majboori da doosra naam hai samjautha…….and quest for power is over powering,
Makes relationships sweetest though just a day before the relationships were souring.

Jaylalitha really has something against the Seer,
Either she is seeking revenge or she has something to fear???

Now TN has approached SC to keep Seer out of the Southern end,
SC must take into cognizance that in this matter Jayalalitha has really gone round the bend.

She's even transferred two high-ranking Officials handling the case….vented her ire,
Let the Officials know …slip up in the Seer matter and consequences will be dire!!

Now the Seers interrogation CDs have been clandestinely released to the Media,
Make the Senior and Junior Pontiff spill beans on each other…that is the idea.

Mayawathi is a tricky cookie but Chautala is a trickier one…and smarter too,
Seems the bonding between the two was done with trick glue!!!

But many ask why is Mayawathi boarding a sinking ship???
In this alliance even her votes will take a dip!!!

But then this is fate,
Sometimes to win and sometimes to loose you choose a mate.

Hulka Fulka

At the IGI Airport people were taken by surprise when porn was shown on the Airport TVs,
Many husbands tried to cover the eyes of their biwis.

Seems the Cable operator had declared 'happy' hours and was showing this trash,
Baggage handlers saw this and IGI there was literally a baggage 'crash'.

Confucius is on leave today,
For Lori he has taken a holiday.

Last I saw Confucius he was sitting by the fire side tucking into gajak and popcorn,
Said he'll be back on his job tomorrow morn.
