Magnanimity of Mrs. Sonia Gandhi
Congress chief & UPA Chairperson Mrs. Sonia Gandhi has earned more respect from business houses than any leader in recent past. Corporate houses say that even if they were hard core BJP or any regional party supporters including Amar Singh's friends, she has always welcomed them if they sought a direct appointment with her .In fact when Rahul Bajaj was nominated on an NCP ticket, she called him & said "you could have informed us & we could have supported your candidature". So are Ambani brothers or Kumarmanglam Birla welcome in her house.

FORUM

Vigilance week only a lip service

I agree with Sudhir Chopra. The vigilance week is only a lip service. It is very important that the vigilance directorate first puts its house in order. In the Income Tax department, there was this lady officer posted in the vigilance directorate in Kolkatta who along with her spouse made life hell for honest officers. In today's world , the maximum number of complaints are against honest officers as they do not fall in the line. The lady officer and her spouse troubled all officers who would not succumb to their ( couple) demands. Worse their own vigilance people closed the complaint against the couple . You scratch my back and I shall scratch yours seems to be the motto.
Vichitra Agnihotri

It makes no difference
On 27th Oct. 27000 adivasis and dalits from 20 states of the country gathered at Ramlila Ground of Delhi after marching on foot from
Gwalior on 2nd Oct under the aegies of Ekta Parishd. Seven of them died enroute .On 28th Oct, they were supposed to march to Jantar Mantar but were stopped by the police who surrounded Ramlila ground since morning and would not allow them to reach Jantar Mantar. While electronic media gave live coverage of half marathon of few kilometres only on 27th Oct( an event sponsored by corporate houses),it virtually ignored such an historic march by those who became marginalised in the course of "development" when their land was taken away or they were driven out from forests. What was heartening was the confidence on their faces as they were no longer content with empty promises given during election times but were ready and willing to give sacrifices to assert and realise their rights. Seeing them squatting peacefully on the ground and listening to the speakers (like PV Rajgopal, AB Bardhan, Swami Agnivesh etc.), I was wondering what difference increase in retirement age of govt. servants(known as public servants) would make to them and whether they ever benfitted from vast experience and knowledge of such govt. servants who would retire at the age of 60 years or at 62 years in case their prayers are answered.

TAIL-PIECE

Once a man was waiting for a taxi.

A beggar came along and asked him for some money. The man ignored him.
But being a professional, the beggar kept on pestering him. The man became irritated when he realized that the beggar would not leave him alone unless he parts with some money.

Suddenly an idea struck him. He told the beggar, "I do not have money, but if you tell me what you want to do with the money, I will certainly help you."
"I would have bought a cup of tea", replied the beggar.

The man said, "Sorry man. I can offer you a cigarette instead of tea". He then took a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and offered one to the beggar.

The beggar told, "I don't smoke as it is injurious to health."

The man smiled and took a bottle of whisky from his pocket and told the beggar, "Here, take this bottle and enjoy the stuff. It is really good".

The beggar refused by saying, "Alcohol muddles the brain and damages the liver".

The man smiled again. He told the beggar, "I am going to the race course. Come with me and I will arrange for some tickets and we will place bets. If we win, you take the whole amount and leave me alone".

As before, the beggar politely refused the latest offer by saying, "Sorry sir, I can't come with you as betting on horses is a bad habit."

Suddenly the man felt relieved and asked the beggar to come to his home with him. Finally, the beggar's face lit up in anticipation of receiving at least something from the man. But he still had his doubts and asked the man, "Why do you want me to go to your house with you".

The man replied, "My wife always wanted to see how a man with no bad habits looks like."

Aaj Ki Aawaz

Congressio (Congressmen) sharam karro!!!
Uppar waale se darro!!

Reason…. I can send them copy of 'When a tree shook Delhi ' to read!!!
And they'll realize how Congress has made humanity bleed!!

'Congress is responsible for 1984 riots' 94% Indians say so (CNN-IBN poll)!!!
But shamelessly Congress says no!!!

Singhvi says that Congress appointed Commission after Commission!!!
And the minute a Commission's investigation got hot Commission hothi decommission!!

Or Commission was a friendly Commission!!
At every stage took Congress's permission!!

Congress is shedding croc tears on Gujarat riots…… chors machaoing shor!!!
And via the votes on CNN IBN seems the entire Nation is calling Congress chor chor!!!

In the Capital of India Sikhs were slaughtered!!!
Police watched as Sikhs were butchered!!

And then Rajiv justified the riots with his heartless big tree falling statement!!!
Congress is with you was the message that was sent!!!

Congress rubbed salt in Sikh wounds by making riot accused Mantris!!!
What a payback for people who were and are considered as the Nation's Santris??

Kamalnath continues to be a Minister despite have led a rioting mob!!!
A mob that made many Sikh families in grief sob!!

So before slamming Modi Congress needs to look into its own past,
Congress's role in the 1984 riots left all aghast!!

Karat now says that India and US are ganging up against Cheen ( China )!!
So now Karat admits that for China he's bajaoing his been (flute)!!!

So for China 's security he's willing to sacrifice India 's security and progress!!!
By virtue of this statement he looks like Mao in an Indian dress!!

CPI or Communists Pestering India have shown their true rangh!!!
In China had they done what they are doing in India they would have been hung!!!

Laloo says it was Vajpayee who made the comment about Hema's cheeks!!!
Forgets that Vajpayee is not a mascaraa like him and weighs his words before he speaks!!

Laloo is known for firing his gob without thinking!!!
Most of the time between his gob and brain there is de-linking!!!

And then Hema must have taken Laloo's comments as those of a mascaraa,
Must have thought 'Joker ki bath ka nahi maanana chaihiye buraa'!!

Karat is now trying to rope in Pawar to oppose the Nuclear Deal!!
Rumoured that to discuss this Karat invited Pawar over for a meal!!!

Karat must remember that Pawar is a Master Ditcher and could ditch him too!!!
What Pawar's pocket says Pawar must do!!!

And if there's midterm poll Pawar will be deadweight in UNPA!!!
For all his alleged acts of omission and commission Maharashtrians are going to make him pay!!

Badal Senior with wifey is going to foreign shores on a fund raising trip!!!
To Dubai , Sharjah and South Africa he's going to zip!!

Of course in Dad's absence Junior will mind the Store!!!
He and bro in law will stand guard at the door!!

Badal Senior says he'll control the State from overseas with a click of the mouse!!!
'Sukhbir will take over in Dad's absence' fire he's trying to douse!!!!

Cousin Manpreet has mellowed down and said Subsidy is required!!!
Has he mellowed because he was scared that he could get fired???

Punjab is agog with rumours that Junior Badal will move into CM's saddle midway!!!
As it is in Punjab Government more than Dad the son has more say!!!

Wonder if PC has noted that FIIs have invested in every Public Sector Undertaking??
Wonder if he's given a thought as to why so much money in PSUs FIIs are staking??

Is India exposing itself to a possible proxy war via the Financial Sector???
Wonder if PC will care to consider this factor???

SC feels CBI has handled the Nithari investigation with a biased mind!!!
CBI ko Pandher ka shield kiya hai SC ne find!!!

After Mr. Q now CBI has Mr. P's 'egg on its face'!!!
Severe strictures from SC karr rahi hai CBI face!!!

Rumored that a powerful Punjab Congressman related to Pandher has come to his aid,
And he's putting pressure on CBI so that investigation is waylaid!!

Confucius says…. CBI now means Centre Botching Investigations!!!
Though some would say nowadays its Congress's Biased Investigator or Investigations!!
