Aaj Ki Aawaz

Sad to know about the demise of Dixit….was an able man who did his job,
Quite touching to see his colleagues sob.

But they stretch it too much when they say that his passing can affect the foreign policy of the Nation,
Fact is Nation was not created by Dixit but instead Dixit was Nation's creation!

Those in power should learn to use precise words at such a waqt,
Realistic and not be too soft or too saqth!!!

Will Paswan commit hara-kiri by aligning with JD (U) as JD (U) holds BJP's hand,?
Or will Paswan with JD(U) take dump BJP stand???

Laloo has everything crossable crossed that Paswan and JD (U) stay apart,
Doing everything to upset their togetherness cart!!!

But even apart Paswan will dent Laloo's votes….heads he losses and tails he losses too,
That is why Laloo ka utraaa huaa ahi mooh!!

Paswan is only harmless to Laloo if he is in Laloo's Alliance….Party Pooper,
That is why when Laloo hears anything about Paswan's electoral moves he goes into a stupor.

"MLAs owe me 40 lakhs" says Laloo…….@ 1100 / month which is actually RJD fee,
But then why does Laloo say that they owe the money to me (him)??

Seems like the Bihar Government and Railways even RJD coffers are personal to him,
Uses the money as per his whim.

In Haryana Congress has a horde of ticket seekers…..RLD is facing a drought,
That is because the contenders know Congress is in and RLD is out!!!

As there is no political benefit for Laloo as MOR he is being stingy in announcing Tsunami relief,
Yes if Biharis had been affected Laloo would have doled out relief shamming grief.

With Laloo sabh kuch hai Vote!!!
And once Voted in sabh kuch hai Note!!!

Still relief is not reaching Tsunmai victims as it should though there is no dearth of relief…why is this???
Seems in the relief supply planning and execution something is amiss.

Manmohan (Man) needs to sound the whip and make things work,
Down South suffering and pain at every turn do lurk.

Hope Manmohan realizes it is now or never…..so make things happen,
Do not let things slacken.

Now there is news of young orphans of the Tsunami being kidnapped and being sold,
With Police being involved in relief operations seems goons have become more bold!

All of a sudden Sonia has receded to the background…..is it a well thought plan???
If things work out she gets the credit and if things go wrong then axe will fall on Man.

This is what the Opposition is saying…..but fact is that UPA has Sonia's face,
And moreover she does not need to be in any rat race.

Her image will take a beating if the relief falls short,
Hence relief efforts she also needs to sort.

Quite a few knives are out against Man within Congress,
They say he is not their chosen Leader but an alternative under duress.

Mani says fuel prices will not come down despite the fall in International prices….why??
Because Mani says that unless prices stabilize on any reduction he has to deny.

Mani wants to get in place a price mechanism……what a sham???
When prices had to go up he did not think so…cared a damn!

And then Oil Majors have Mani eating out of their hands,
He obeys their demands.

Hulka Fulka

Anil has resigned from IPCL…cites a buddy of Mukesh on the IPCL Board for his resignation,
By doing this he has given this fellow recognition.

In Dhirbhai's time Ambanis were above all the Board,
On the Board Ambanis would literally lord.

Now a measly Director has been cited as the reason for an Ambani resigning,
On this matter Mukesh and Anil need to do some aligning!!!

In Mumbai 1.08 lakh liters of booze was consumed on 31st,
In Delhi this must have been what was sold three times this amount….Delhi was worst.

Confucius says….People say they religiously drink a peg.
He continues….There comes a time when the peg literally is the size of a keg.
