Aaj Ki Aawaz

Head of the headless chickens has decided in favor of the one who gave him and them this name!!
I'm talking of Ronen Sen of the 'headless chicken' fame!!

In US Sen will continue to be India 's man!!!!
He's been waiting for 'decision' since the month of Jan!!!

Does this mean that India is serious in pursuing the 123 Deal????
Commies were baying for Sen's head and demanding with him karre PM deal!!!

Has High Command said to Sen's sacking 'nay'????
Or has Bush put in a good word for Sen and requested PM to let him stay!!!

If he's good for the 123 Deal then he should not be called back!!!
Sen should be ordered to unpack the samaan joh kiya hai uss ne pack!!!

Speaking of High Command…arms were recovered close to where in HP Sonia was to go!!
But now HP cops say that this was all a CRPF drama and to arms recovery say 'no'!!

Was it to get her sympathy or to give her an excuse to stay ghar ke andhar????
We'll not come to know why because andahr ki baath rahe gi andhar!!!

Commies say that PC has his own yardstick to show that as FM he's been a hit!!!!!
There's been an increase in number of Indian Billionaires so he feels he done his bit!!!

What has he done for the 77% who earn Rs. 20 / day????
Who in misery and squalor karte hai stay!!!

Well PC's going to say in the present stint he started from the top!!!
But now as Sarkaar's term is coming to an end he has to stop!!

He'll say that he has a lot planned for the downtrodden in his next stint!!!!
Hoping the voting majority will take his hint!!!

Though via the Budget he may undertake an emergency attempt,
With a lot of schemes karr saktha hai tempt!!!

But then public has smartened and will look through his game!!!
And of course on PC and PC's Party Congress they'll put all the blame!!!

Congress's silence on Raj makes its abs clear,
That MNS and Congress are near!!!

Guv Gavai's heckling in Bihar Assembly has given Raj another excuse!!!
Which to justify his anti Bhaiya rhetoric he will use!!!

And this 'outsider' fever is spreading!!!
Something that every sane Indian should be dreading!!!

Seems in Congress's and MNS's book 'in politics everything is fair'!!!!
Seems both feel politics dharma is votes and only for votes they should care!!

EC has seized Rs. 24 lakhs from a Congressman in Meghalaya!!!
Now Congress is working overtime to explain paisa kahaa se aur kyon yeh laaya!!!

He may made to say that he found the money and was about to give the police this find!!!!
He'll then lament ' and this is the reward I'm getting for being honest and kind'!!!

Margret Alwa is already in damage control mode,
'It's his cash so he'll answer' is what she'll be forced to say down the road!!

Imagine in IPL Sehewag is an Icon Player despite being an underperformer!!
Definition of Icon is he should be a performer!!

IPL is un-chartered territory,
And very soon there could be many who'll be sorry!!!

The IPL Broadcaster is demanding a phenomenal amount for ads!!!!!
Very soon we will come to know about the miscalculations of BCCI's cads!!!!

Confucius says…. BCCI has bitten more than it can chew!!!!
And don't forget this is a format that's spanking new!!!
