FORUM

Change in attitude smack of suspicion
We have been thinking very highly and also appreciative of your neutral assessment and opinion about the performance of various governments, ministers etc. Till some time back your portal was very critical about the performance of the Rajasthan Government especially the CM, but in the recent days all kinds of appreciations are hovered on the very government which was accused of not doing well. What really went behind the scenes may never be known to the readers but the sudden change in the attitude definitely smack of suspicion.

How about legalizing corruption ?
How about legalising corruption? Like we have done in railway reservation or allotment of telephone connections - the "TATKAL" seva. Paying the Government instead of paying a tout for getting your work done speedily?

TAIL-PIECE

A Small Story !

A successful business man was growing old and knew it was time to chose a successor to take over the business. Instead of choosing one of his directors or his children, he decided to do something different.

He called all the young executives in his company together. "It is time for me to step down and choose the next CEO," he said. "I have decided to choose one of you."

The young executives were shocked, but the boss continued. "I am going to give each one of you a seed today - a very special seed. I want you to plant the seed, water it, and come back here one year from
today with what you have grown from the seed I have given you. I will then judge the plants that you bring, and the one I choose will be the next CEO."

One man, named Jim, was there that day and he, like the others, received a seed.

He went home and excitedly, told his wife the story. She helped
him get a pot, soil and compost and he planted the seed.

Every day, he would water it and watch to see if it had grown. After about three weeks, some of the other executives began to talk about their seeds and the plants that were beginning to grow. Jim kept checking his seed, but nothing ever grew.

Three weeks, four weeks, five weeks went by, still nothing. By now, others were talking about their plants, but Jim didn't have a plant and he felt like a failure.

Six months went by - still nothing in Jim's pot. He just knew he had killed his seed. Everyone else had trees and tall plants, but he had nothing. Jim didn't say anything to his colleagues, however. He just kept watering and fertilizing the soil - he so wanted the
seed to grow.

A year finally went by and all the young executives of the company brought their plants to the CEO for inspection. Jim told his wife that he wasn't going to take an empty pot. But she asked him to be honest about what happened.

Jim felt sick at his stomach. It was going to be the most embarrassing
moment of his life, but he knew his wife was right.

He took his empty pot to the board room. When Jim arrived, he was amazed at the variety of plants grown by the other executives. They were beautiful--in all shapes and sizes. Jim put his empty pot on the floor and many of his colleagues laughed. A few felt sorry for him!

When the CEO arrived, he surveyed the room and greeted his young
executives.

Jim just tried to hide in the back.

"My, what great plants, trees, and flowers you have grown," said the CEO."Today one of you will be appointed the next CEO!"

All of a sudden, the CEO spotted Jim at the back of the room with his empty pot. He ordered the financial director to bring him to the front.

Jim was terrified. He thought, "The CEO knows I'm a failure! Maybe he will have me fired!"

When Jim got to the front, the CEO asked him what had happened to his seed. Jim told him the story.

The CEO asked everyone to sit down except Jim. He looked at Jim, and then announced to the young executives, "Here is your next Chief Executive! His name is Jim!"

Jim couldn't believe it. Jim couldn't even grow his seed. How could he be the new CEO the others said?

Then the CEO said, "One year ago today, I gave everyone in this room a seed.

I told you to take the seed, plant it, water it, and bring it back to me today. But I gave you all boiled seeds; they were dead - it was not possible for them to grow.

All of you, except Jim, have brought me trees and plants and
flowers.

"When you found that the seed would not grow, you substituted another seed for the one I gave you. Jim was the only one with the courage and honesty to bring me a pot with my seed in it. Therefore, he is the
one who will be the new Chief Executive!"

If you plant honesty, you will reap trust

If you plant goodness, you will reap friends.

If you plant humility, you will reap greatness.

If you plant perseverance, you will reap contentment

If you plant consideration, you will reap perspective.

If you plant hard work, you will reap success.

If you plant forgiveness, you will reap reconciliation.

So, be careful what you plant now; it will determine what you will reap
later.

GOD BLESS YOU
Best wishes & Regards,

Aaj Ki Aawaz

Gujarat has pushed HP into the background!!
Hardly any reports in Media on HP election are to be found!!!

Dhumal says that if BJP comes to power Virbhadra's goose will be cooked!!
For his acts of omission and commission he will be booked!!

Virbhadra will in all probability shift temporarily to Dilli!!!
He'll say he's got a bad back and Shimla is too hilly!!

High Command (HC) may come to his aid and give him some job in Dilli!!!
Though some say towards him HC will be chilly!!!

Sonia Ben ne kiya Modi Bhai ko instigate!!!
And now Congress says Modi is doing politics of hate!!

Gujarat's legal Counsel Tulsi is no longer 'Tulsi Modi ke aangan ka'!!!!
And to efforts to woo him back he's saying 'na'!!!

Even in extreme provocation Modi would not have made this statement without due diligence!
Congress is underestimating Modi's intelligence!!

Congress forgets in his speeches on Punjab Rajiv too had asked somewhat same sawaal!!!
So why is Congress creating such a bawaal???

Rahul Baba in all probability will not go to Gujarat and concentrate on Himachal Pradesh!!
From Congressis who are in the know this is the sandesh!!

Sonia will continue her Modi rant and Modi will continue to react!!!
Gloves are off so attack and reaction could be harsh as there is no question of tact!!

The opinions emanating from Gujarat say that Modi's won the first bout!!!
And Sonia in a way has helped him out!!

Congress is pumping in Vitamin M into its Gujarat campaign!!!
Congress's loss ( Vitamin M and elections) will be Gujarat 's Public ka double gain!!!

High Command is ordering Congress CMs to mobilize funds fast!!!
Gujaratis will take Congress's 'gifts' and on voting day Modi ke liye karre ge vote cast!!!

Defence Forces Chiefs will not be frisked!!!!
Straight to waiting Aircrafts they will be whisked!!!

Vadra too will not be frisked as he is on Z Plus chart!!!
Arre bhai Gandhi family ka hai woh part!!!

Hadn't Buddha apologized for Nandigram????
Seems the apology was a sham!!!

Now he says WB Cops went in for repair work and aid!!!
Whereas truth is for their opposing Left Sarkaar a heave price villagers paid!!

And he said this after news that in Nandigram in graves charred bodies have been found!!!
Such was the cruelty with which pillagers ne kiya villagers ko hound!!

Buddha seems to be an expert in 'thook ke chaatna' or 'spit and lick'!!!
To his stand he never seems to stick!!!

After Commie walk out in Parliament on 123 Deal on Nandigram Sonia's come out!!!
Matters seem to be moving towards a midterm poll without a doubt!!!

Karat says that Rao of Congress was a dormant partner in Babri's fall!!
Aim is to make Congress fallout with Muslims and make Commies walk with Muslims tall!!

And Karat says that BJP should not mistake Commie walk out!!!
Karat Ji I think on this BJP does not have any doubt!!!

BJP is made in India and Commies are Made in Russia or Cheen ( China )!!!
And years of eating Indian namak karr nahi sakka Commies ko Russia or China se wean!!

It's actually BJP that should be worried about its image!!
Being identified with Commies BJP ki Desh Bhagat image ko hoegaa damage!!!

Buddha says that he's alarmed at minority's condition in Gujarat !!!
That's after his Government has beaten minority in Nandiram for days dinn and raat!!!

Ad being aired for Badal's birthday says people have belief in him like they have in God!!!
Did not know that Badal was such an egoistical clod!!!

Yes with all the power he may be getting the feeling of being God!!!
And with such people God does use the rod!!!

And now Badal Senior himself admits subsidies are Punjab 's bane!!!!
Then why did his 'spoons' term Punjab FM's warning on financial condition as insane??

Junior talks of 25 years in power but he should be thankful if they last this term out!!!
And it's very clear now that in next elections Akalis will face rout!!

Once Badal's out of power hope in God investigators of cases against him trust!!!
Because if Congress comes to power it'll go all out to make Badal go politically bust!!

Big B will be addressing the Nation on the finals of the Lead India Contest!!!
In various cases he himself is facing 'legal test pe test'!!!!

His shouting brigade is on the job!!!!
Coming soon….. in camera glare Jaya is going to sob!!!

Amar will be at hand to offer a handkerchief and rant and rave!!
Get the forlorn look by not going in for a shave!!!

Confucius says…… Icons don't stoop!!!
And if an Icon stoops then Icon's image and name lands in poop!!!
