Magic India Democracy Miracle

Come election times and Election Commission of India would jam-pack all the poll -going states with its plane-load of observers. The poll-going states are five but on their soil would soon descend innumerable observers.
Indian democracy is surely a magic. A toothless bureaucrat, languishing unnoticed and unspoken, in his god-forsaken-mother-state, transforms into Leviathan with huge and undefinable powers as soon as he becomes an Observer, ECI. The right description is, says a whisper, a bull in the Chinashop or, to extend it a bit further, a horse in the sabzi-bazar. Chaos or something chaos-like is inevitable. But the magic of democracy India makes a miracle. The bull and horse and what -have-you brings order and method, system and correction in the Chinashop and sabzi-bazar of Indian elections. And the bored-to-the bones bureaucrats rise as mountains of strength and authority. That is magic-if not what-of Indian democracy. This magic drams is to unfold again. Whispers have begun, if Bihar gone, will Bengal be far behind? We'll soon know the answers.

Dear non-IAS officer,

Please remember one thing that IAS is a privileged service. And also remember one more thing that privilege is obtained by eliminating competition. IAS has done that for the last 60 years and shall continue to do that for next atleast 60 years - globalization or no globalization. Specialist can never come to the fore. Unfortunate India.

Aaj Ki Aawaz

TDP and SP has announced formation of Third Front,
For partners now they are on a hunt!!!

Some would equate the birth of the this Third Front as a premature baby….. so now its in the incubator!!! Now lets see what happens post the State Elections…… will the Commies too join this Front??? TDP aka Thoroughly Depressed Party and SP aka Sinister Party or Shameless Party could also end up as only the two in the Front…. two Party Front!!!!!!

Advani is requesting the Muslims to cooperate,
In the making of the Ram Mandir to turn from foe to mate!!!

Wouldn't it have been better if this offer hand been made when BJP was in power???? BJP lost a major chunk of its Vote Bank because of its 'mark time' on the Mandir issue!!! And now to expect Muslims, now that they have a Government bending backwards to please them, to accept Advani's plea would be expecting to much….. sorry but now Advani is in Wonderland!!!! He's mistaken if he thinks that Muslims have stopped hating him after his Jinnah comments…….. BJP needs to do a reality check!!!

With both Advani and Rajnath on Yatras whose minding BJP's shop,
Now where does the buck stop????

This dual Yatra has left BJP headless in Delhi!!!! One of them should have stayed put in Delhi….. at the epicentre of all political activity!!!! This shows the desperation…… in fact now Congress says that this is just one upmanship ….. Rajnath has tired to keep his relevance intact by also going on a Yatra!!!! Vajpayee is right this is not the time for such a Yatra !!!! Like the adage 'Everyday is not a Sunday'….. so it would be wrong for BJP to expect that this Yatra will produce the same results!!!

Supreme Court Bar Association Members are lamenting Laloo's entry into the Bar,
They feel looking at Laloo's track record from entry Laloo ko karan chahiye bar!!!

Lawyers are up in arms at Laloo being given Bar Membership!!!!! How can a person who is an accused in so many ghotalas be made a Member……. one Member was heard lamenting ' Arre Bhai kuch toh standard honaa chahiye'!!!!! They can still ban him….. just pass a resolution that Bar Members should not have more than two children… max four in special cases……. Laloo will be automatically disqualified!!! After all aren't the elite expected to set an example……. so on probity and number of children they can expel him and the sing in unison… Good riddance to bad rubbish!!!!

There was a free for all outside Raaj's house…… is his Party cracking,
Basically organizational skill and required charisma Raaj is lacking!!!

He may have taken a huge step…… but seems he will soon be taking steps backwards!!!! Outside his house two factions started fighting….. free for all….. as he peeked through the curtains!!! He was worried on two accounts….. the damage this would do to his new Party….. and if any damage was being done to his SUV or Merc!!!

The Sensex could now take a plunge……. free fall!!!!
Bulls have so far had a ball!!!!

The bottom of this market is 9000 ….. and some would say the realistic level. Above this is just cream that can be blown away. Banks are worried too….. if there is a plunge Banks are going to take a huge hit!!! So if you have money and want to invest in the Share Market hold on to your cash…….. when the Markets start top fall start investing in a inverted pyramid fashion ( first minimum and gradually keep increasing …..and at the end maximum)!!!!
