Aaj Ki Aawaz
Stock Brokers are in an upbeat mood!!!
Feel the Markets from bad have turned good!!!!
A 30% rally has changed their outlook!!!
Whereas there is a lot that Market ko karr saktha hai spook!!!
In the past too in Bear Markets there have been rallies of 35%!!!!
And then too by the Brokers 'the Bull is back' message had been sent!!!
My feeling is the Market will test 8000 again!!!!
There is still more pain!!!
So please take your Broker's gung-ho advice with a pinch of salt!!!!
Not so soon is this Bear Market coming to a halt!!!
And in India if Third Front comes to power!!!
In the Indian Stock Market things will really sour!!!
Even if UPA comes in with Commie support Markets will fall!!!!!
Though to a lesser extent Bears karren ge Market ko maul!!!
Also please do keep an eye on the Rupee which will fall to mid 50 level!!!!
So please do be careful as Brokers revel!!!
IMF has opined that economically 2009 will be a miserable year or saal!!!!
So why are Brokers saying that Stock Markets ka better hoegaa haal????
A BJP worker threw a shoe on the dais that Advani was seated!!!
Shoe- gate repeated!!!!!
But please do note that the other two shoe-gates are of the political kind!!!!
Only in PC's shoe-gate a non political reason do we find!!
Now every Politician is worried.... next to be pelted with a shoe is it my turn???
The thought is making many a poltico's stomach churn!!!
In fact in a village they are doing target practice with their shoes!!!!
Is it the electorate has found a new way to register their boos????
Advani's jumping form issue to issue like a jumping jack!!!!
First it was Mohna, then Swiss Banks and now Ram Mandir is back!!!
By the end he and we will be confused!!!
Maybe that is why purposely this strategy he's used!!!
If one is going on Poll Duty one should consider this like going to the 'front line'!!!!
Apni apni Will all going on Poll Duty should sign!!!!
This time rather than Public loosing lives in election violence 17 on Poll Duty have died!!!!
On the Naxal threat basically this Sarkaar has lied!!!!
Naxalism is Communism via the gun!!!!!!
Ideology-wise both are one!!!!
Both treat Capitalism as a curse!!!!
Both believe that no one should have money in the purse!!!!
Varun is out on parole!!!!
And without a doubt in BJP will have a bigger role!!!!
Varun will used the clenched fist as a symbol ' for his pro Hindu' stand!!!!
Clenched fist with a raised hand!!!!
Sad but true that a venom spouting person is to BJP endearing????
And his career his Mom is craftily steering!!!!
Rahul's Mom is steering his career and she too wants him to endear!!!!
But not via fear!
Confucius says...In both cousins cases the hand that rocks the cradle is scripting their political tomorrow!!!!
As of now one is trying to spread goodwill and the other sorrow!!!

We may soon have World Shoe Day !
The shoe thrown by Jarnail Singh and quick results which followed appear to have caught attention of those seeking to draw attention to their grievances . If this trend catches on we may soon have a sort of World Shoe Day to regulate shoe hurling so that people can give vent to their anger without causing injury on a designated day rather than through out the year or only during election time. When Abhinav Bindra got gold medal in Beijing Olympics, no one could have imagined that his achievement would be replicated with some modification for an entirely different purpose as some kind of alternative dispute resolution mechanism.

Go through CAG's report for UPA's performance
If readers would like to know how miserably Manmohan Singh Government has failed to deliver on key issues than all they have to do is to go through the CAG's reports on NREGA, Drinking Water Supply, Mid-day Meal Scheme and Solid Waste Management available on CAG's website i.e. cag.gov.in. These reports are revealing how the precious resources have been wasted away without any concrete results on the ground. And the impression one gets from reading the Solid Waste Management report is that the government has not even thought about this key area leave apart any planning to handle this. Of course when its key bureaucrats are busy pushing for cushy paying jobs in the so called premium ministries who is bothered to even look at this critical area of environment management. When your so called most honest PM is busy in achieving personal milestones then this country is only at the mercy of gods.

STORY-OF-THE-WEEK
Would You Die For Me?
A young man called Ramaswami died an untimely death. His parents, wife and nine year old son were crying bitterly, sitting next to his dead body. They all happened to be disciples of a holy man whom they called 'Maharaj Ji'.
When Maharaj Ji learnt that Ramaswami had died, he came to visit the family. He entered the house and found the family wailing inconsolably. Seeing Maharaj Ji, the wife started crying even louder. She sobbed saying, "Maharaj Ji, he has died too early, he was so young. Oh! I would do anything to make him alive again. What will happen to our son? I am so helpless and miserable." Maharaj Ji tried to pacify the crying lady and the old parents, but the loss was too much for them to come to terms with so easily. Eventually, Maharaj Ji said, "Alright, get me a glass of water." Maharaj Ji sat near the dead body and put the glass next to it. He said, "Now, who ever wants that Ramaswami should become alive again may drink this water. Ramaswami shall come back to life, but the person who drinks the water shall die!"
Silence!
"Come, did you not say that Ramaswami was the sole breadwinner of the family? Who would die instead of him? It is a case of fair exchange, isn't it?"
The wife looked at the old mother and the old mother looked at the wife. The old father looked at Ramaswami's son. But no one came forward. Then Maharaj Ji said to the old father, "Babuji, wouldn't you give your life for your son?" The old man said, "Well, I have my responsibility towards my wife. If I die who will look after her? I cannot offer my life to you."
Maharaj Ji looked questioningly at the old woman and said, "Amma?" She said, "My daughter is due to deliver her first baby. She will be coming to stay for a month. If I die who will look after her and the newborn. Why don't you ask Ramaswami's wife?"
Maharaj Ji smiled and looked at the young widow. She widened her tear filled eyes and said, "Maharaj Ji, I need to live for my son. If I die, who will look after him? He needs me. Please don't ask me to do this."
Maharaj Ji asked the son, "Well little boy, would you like to give your life for your father?" Before the boy could say anything, his mother pulled him to her breast and said, "Maharaj Ji, are you insane? My son is only nine. He has not yet lived his life. How could you even think of such a thing?"
Maharaj Ji said, "Well it seems, that all of you are very much needed for the things you need to do in this world. It seems Ramaswami was the only one that could be spared. That is why God chose to take him away. So shall we proceed with his last rites? It's getting late."
Having said that, Maharaj Ji got up and left.
God's plan is impeccable. Sometimes man is unable to understand God's design. The time of entry and exit for each one of us, is in God's hands. It is his prerogative alone to pluck the flower he wishes to. It is no body's prerogative to question his will.
In the words of Baba, "We tend a plant only when the leaves are green; when they become dry and the plant becomes a life-less stick, we stop loving it. Love lasts as long as life exists."
