FORUM

Retirement age should be raised

I think this would be the right cause of action by the govt. if the retirement age is increased from 60 to 62 years because new generation is only intrested in private sectorand the jobs in govt. department remain vaccant and work in offices would suffer.The govt.should increase the retirement age and also lift the ban on new recruitments.people who say people above 55 become brain dead is not in good taste . they should realise that the nation is progressing in the hands of senor politicians and going to become a supper power in near futur.

Tirlok Singh Sahota

Dear Choudhury,
I am amazed at your macabre sense of humour. Would you like all the 60+ people to be dead and comfortably out of your way so that the likes of you may realize your dreams. You must be in a terrible hurry. Good luck to you, buddy!

Suman K Sharma

Tail-piece

The best comment by the French President when he visited India last month and saw the use of railroad tracks as the national toilets; both as deposits from the trains speeding along, and from assorted denizens of villages along the tracks who insist on leaving their tracks too.
He allegedly said, 'Now I understand why your
railway minister is called La Loo!'

Aaj Ki Aawaz

PC has waived Farm Loans,
He actually listened to his Party's 'loosing election' moans!!!!

He's thrown a lifebuoy to a sinking Congress so save it from drowning,
Though Congressis boast that this will result in Congress's re-crowning!!!

But other Political Parties have positioned themselves as responsible for this move!!!!
And now on a war footing to the Farmers this these Parties will try to prove!!!

Pawar was about to jump and dance as PC announced this waiver!!!!
He will now embark on a F(Farmer)RO drive and project himself as 'the saver'!!

Outside 10 Janpath 'rented farmers and dancers' put up a thank you show!!!!
And Sonia came out and on her face was a glow!!!

NCP too started celebrations,
And this exemption is being positioned by NCP as one of Pawar's creation's!!!

Laloo too is planning to go for a mass contact programme in Bihar !!!
Wants to let Farmers in Bihar know that for this waiver he's the star!!!!

Opposition is saying that this waiver is because of its hue and cry!!!
Will project that to make the Sarkaar realize its best the Opposition did try!!!!

Via change in taxation slabs PC's tried to please the urban voter too!!!!
When tax compliance is so good this was the right thing to do!!!

All the credit goes to the tax payer and PC should not have patted his back!!!
Because to create problems for us PC and is tax collectors never did lack!!!!

Yes to some extent computerization and PAN have done the kaam!!!!!
So in actuality on our 'aching tax compliance muscle' he's applied balm!!!!!

PC's last Budget will end having a 'neutral' to slightly negative impact on Congress!!!!
And very soon Congressmen ko yeh Budget karre ga depress!!!!

As PC presented the Budget Manmohan looked abs smug!!!!!
And Sonia Madam eyes blinked and she had a smile cum smirk on her mug (face)!!!!

One thing is clear when you compare Budget presentation of PC and Laloo!!!
PC's is dignified and business like and Laloo's is just plain and simple chaloo!!!

Our MPs really need to be trained how to sit in Parliament!!!
To sleep, scratch and dig noses the House is not meant!!!!

In full camers glare they dig their noses and check what comes out!!!!
And then wipe the finger on the table to get it ready for the next digging bout!!

Commies had a look as if they'd just had something very bitter to eat!!!!!
They'll role up PC's speech and with this Congress ko karre ge beat!!!!

Now Acting Academies are planning to make thier students meet Laloo!!!
And budding villains will be taken to meet his saaloo!!!!

Insiders now say Laloo is now attached to Dilli!!!
He'd like to stay in Dilli though this does sound silly!!!

Because he's in Dilli on account of Bihar !!!
He should have realized by now his condition on account of Bihar mein haar!!!!

In General Elections or midterm polls hoegaa Laloo trounce!!!
After Bihar loss he bounced to Dilli and after next loss where will he bounce???

I feel he's one good actor and should try his luck in Bollywood!!!!
In acting he's real good!!!

Imagine Laloo as Mogambo in Mr. India or Laloo in Prem Chopra's role!!!
No one will be able to touch him even with a pole!!

Imagine Laloo in Rajendra Nath's roles or roles of Mehmood!!!!
Laloo will be simply too good!!!

Coming back to the Budget... from where do small and marginal farmers take loans????
From local money lenders so under burden of loans from them there will be moans!

Confucius says……Does PC know the 'money lender' loans share in farmers loans???
There are so many villages that literally the village money lenders owns!!!!
