Aaj Ki Aawaz

Laloo is hopping mad at Congress's and JMM's pact,
Says, "RJD ko side line kardiya hai…yeh hai fact."

Maybe Congress realized that in Bihar Laloo will play tough in seat sharing,
So Congress and JMM went in for some RJD paring.

Round one to Congress and in round two Congress will win again,
Though victory Laloo will feign.

Fact is that in Bihar Laloo would do anything to keep Congress going the Paswan way,
To prevent this he is working night and day.

Congress sent 'shorthand' Dhawan and 'nanny' Shukla to meet Laloo….placate him.
Both came out after meeting Laloo and said in unison that situation was not that grim.

As this story developed Amar Singh sent Sonia the New Years card he had forgotten to send,
Hoping that via the card broken down fences he will able to mend!!!

Laloo is waiting for Sonia to call him…says other Leaders in Congress do not matter,
Fact is that none of the Congress stalwarts want to meet this mad hatter.

In Haryana Hooda has declared his candidature for the top post,
His so said honesty is his boast.

Bhajan Lal is biding time…..says he'll buy the veggies when they come to the Mandi,
Does not want to dirty his feet in the fields picking/plucking vegetables…also dhoti ho jaathi hai gandi!!!

In other words he will start moving at the opportune time,
Feels portraying oneself as a CM without High Command's Orders in Congress culture is a crime.

Congress has also got a shot of NCP in Haryana…..NCP is with Congress here,
'But how many seats will NCP demand for this' is the fear.

Manmohan has now agreed to help from overseas……in reconstruction work,
Basic requirement …aid in which ulterior motives do not lurk!!!

In the aftermath Indians had to show the World that we are not the beggars we are made out to be,
And this the World did see.

Hope now they stop portraying us as a Nation of beggars and snake charmers,
We are now a proud Nation of…….scientists, entrepreneurs, thinkers, workers, doctors and farmers.

They say only 30% of donations are used for welfare work by NGOs,
We must analyze…..how and where all the money goes???

BJP needs to get its head examined….pathetic to see their people shamming,
Shining shoes to collect Tsunami Relief…..nothing could be more damning.

Pray how much money did they collect by this sham…..was done more for publicity,
Does BJP feel that people are so naïve that they would not see this…….really shitty!!

Advani Ji kuch karo and please do so fast…..time is indeed slipping,
As BJP's image is really dipping.

On this BJP really needs to do chintan and act fast……...stop this bhikharnaa,
For BJP it is matter of jeena or manrnaa.

Hulka Fulka

Mom Kokilla Ben has suggested a formula whereby she feels all will be equals,
Get ready for 'fair division' sequels.

'Kahani Batwaare ki' will be the new Soap on your telly,
Yeh hai time time ki baath….from reputable Corporate to a Corporate melee.

Like I've said dividing Reliance is easier said that done,
And division can and never be fair to everyone!!!

Malika Sherawat says she gets turned on by seeing Amitabh run in slow motion,
Says that this creates in her Dil a commotion.

Aby Budda (cannot be called baby) says this statement of hers has made his heart jump with joy,
Only thing he requests of her …..please try to be a little coy!!!

If you do not know who is Mallika….well she is the gal who feels showing her undees is her birthright,
Says that women playing on the International Tennis circuit do so day and night.

Confucius says…..Maybe she feels acting is a sport and this is her way of playing the game,
He continues…. Khiladi Number One …..game's name is Shame Shame !!!
