FORUM
Aaj Ki Aawaz
Manmohan says that problems with Communists are just minor hichki or hiccup,
Manmohan feels he has the cure……will call Commies to sup!!!

Karat has already said that Third Front is the only jawaab,
He just said this and Congressis ko lagh gaye thadthaditis mein julaab!!!

Teesri Manzil…….. when and how????
But definitely not now!!!

Congreesis sing 'Deewane Commies se nahi iss ambar ke neeche',
'Aage hai Mulayam aur Amar and Commies peeche peeche'!!!

Amar Singh says that SP is the center point for Third Front…. Fulcrum,
Lets see if in his boasts there is dumm???

Commies get mortified at the thought of BJP coming back to power,
Just mention this and see them cower!!!

And then Commies have power without any accountability,
If things fail people will doubt UPA's capability!!!

For Commies it is meetta meetta hup hup and kadwa kadwa thoo thoo,
Baking the cake and eating it too!!!

Roles could change and Congress could be soon supporting Third Front form outside,
And BJP sitting in the opposition on the other side.

Sonia spoke to Karat on the BHEL issue…….could not make him see UPA's point,
On this ek doosre ko they continue to disappoint!!!

Seems Commies have got a severe case of heartburn on account of Congress's BHELpuri,
And this is cause of the growing the doori!!!

Commies have made this into a prestige ka matter,
With every decision UPA makes its CMP infringements ki file is getting fatter.

Nixon has insulted us by calling our (ex) PM a witch,
But then long nosed weak men are habituated to bitch!!!

He called us Indians names too……… says we were born before our parents entered into wedlock,
What this warlock needs is on his humongous nose a soc.

This shows that in International relations the importance of top Leadership's equations,
How two Leaders react to each other personally decides the relationship between their Nations!!!

Mulayam says that George is going against his Party's ethos by going to the RSS meeting,
Says the resentment in his Party is now heating!!!

Basically Mulayam has the Third Front in his mind,
Trying to remind Geroge of Lohia….. and to put him in a ethos bind!!

Amrinder gaya Dubai…….. trip was sponsored,
And in Dubai with anti Badal forces he conferred!!!

But Amrinder is kalyug ka Raja…… Raja who accepts bheek,
Accepting ticket from Sarna to go to Dubai has made Raja look meek.

Amrinder last month attended Office only for three days,
Loves to work out of his home and so giving some excuse at home he stays!!!

Actual reason is that as monsoons come and helicopter rides become bumpy and rough,
Raja prefers to give chopper the miss….. so works out of his home shamming that he has a bad cough!!

BJP's internal woes continue,
Everyday there is something new.

Now Kulkarni wants the gravitational pull of RSS on BJP to be defined,
Says that RSS is an external entity and cannot put BJP on internal matters in a bind!!!

Get ready for Mother of all PS Indian Banks……big PS banks ka merger is being contemplated,
Within MF this is being hotly debated.

So State Bank will gobble up other large PS Banks,
And in the World Banking Ratings hop, step and jump the ranks.

Gautam Gowswami has surrendered…… but what about the real beneficiary in this scam??
On this angle seems the investigating agencies care a damn.

Congress as made the choice that Sunil Dutt would have made for his own replacement,
If Sanjay Dutt had been chosen he would have been a displacement!!!

Hulka Fulka

They say Diana had said that Charles was a lousy lover,
Will Charles run for cover???

Confucius says……. With the Windsors it's only the upper lip that is stiff,
He continues…… That is why in many Windsor Marriages you very soon hear of a tiff!!!

And now they say that Prince Henry had to undergo a DNA test to verify his Papa,
Of course there were no doubts on who was his Mama!!
