Someone asked me why is BJP quite on Ricegate???
Well for one the exporters are BJP supporters and Pawar is now a mate!!!
Mate because he's close to Balasahib and has an anti Sonia streak!!!!
Pawar is up to some tricks for the upcoming Maharashtra State elections as per a leak!!
But I really do marvel at Pawar's networking…… even in the red wheat scam,
BJP showed it cared a damn!!
And he has Commie pals too and so Commies are not raking this (Ricegate) up!!!
In fact Yechury I hear went to the extent of terming Ricegate as a gupp!!!
As was expected Sarkaar will not fiddle with the security of Mulayam, Laloo and Maya!!!
The same number will continue to be teeno ki chaaya!!!
Usually cutting across Party lines on such matters Netas accomodate each other!!!!
On such matter ek doosre no nahi karte bother!!!
PC's made some brownie points…. he's come out as the least guarded Home Minister!
When he took up the issue I was expecting a twister!!!
This security is just a status symbol …. the more the security higher the eminence!
And they feel with security they get prominence!!
Nitish very rightly points out that ex CM of Bihar is more guarded than the current one!!!
If you look at Laloo's and Nitish's security it looks as if election Laloo has won!!!
AI's order for Boeing Jets is now in danger of crashing... but Boeing has another worry!!!
Will it get the 'down payment' it paid for the Order back if AI says ' please cancel the order we are sorry'????
No don't surprised ..... supplier making a down payment????
I hear for ' greasing' this down payment is meant!!!
Maybe to save Boeing's order Obama may offer Boeing a stimulus and save jobs!
Dole package to India or pay when you can for the planes....cancellation... jobs it robs!
If this happens Boeing will heave a sigh of relief!!!
Otherwise 'crores' as 'down payment' for the Order will be lost is the belief!!!
Such down payments are non refundable!!!
An unwritten law...no refund as 'down payment' is made under the table!!

BJP says Menon should be sacked!!!!!
Can't attack Mohna so now via Menon Mohna they've attacked!!
Why don't they wait and they'll get to see the game India has played!!!!
Just as the match has started an 'at sea' BJP wants the match to be stayed!!!
In Haryana this Khap Panchayat's dictating and taking people's lives should be stopped!!!
Hooda ducked out when on this issue question a Journalist popped!!!
To take on these murderous Khap Panchayats Hooda lacks the will and guts!!
We have the rule of the law in India so why is Hooda giving us these 'ifs and buts'!!!!
Or is he trying to tell us that parts of Haryana are not ruled by Indian Law!!!!
In his Governance there sure is a serious flaw!!
Sach ka Saamna is a hoax…..the questions are decided by mutual consultation!!!
So you can say they are making a budhu of the Nation!!!
Thrives on people's addiction to scandal!!!
But I feel this show is too scandalous for our Public to handle!!!
We are a conservative lot and though we love scandal and gossip we are not prepared,
For scandals on National TV to be with the Nation shared!!
Confucius says….Western shows are being aped!!!
And our conservativeness is being raped!!!
Adds....why let skeletons of a personal nature out in public domain!!!
In the cupboard such skeletons should remain!!!

Regarding discrimination
Referring to comments by Mr. Saxena, I think he has misunderstood my comments. In fact, I have obliquely criticized Jose by saying that the high officials may also have the same attitude of discrimination towards those in lower positions than them. As regards complaining against IIMB, it does not mean that just because it is regarded as institute of excellence, no one can complain. Of course Mr. Jose was justified in complaining if he found unhygienic conditions, but not because of so-called discrimination.

Issues with Air India are serious
There are serious issues with Air India. Give it to Private Sector, they will weed out inefficient systems, responsible for its massive decay. Secondly, when they have schemes i.e. fly business class- your companion flies Free, it is simply a way to bribe these officers who would immediately take their wives, kids or whatever and make good of the scheme. Thirdly, you would never ever find Air India competitive in price if you wish, as a patriot NRI to book your ticket. expensive/ inefficient. Fourthly, try booking your ticket/ making changes online = you would be frustrated beyond words. Hence you would have no choice but to dump your patriotism and take other international airlines.
Lastly, don't ever fly Indian airline ( domestic) if you have bad stomach. Your nose may simply fall off. Wish the management did not economise on cleaners and cleaning agents.
Stop complimentary passes to past employees
( I know for sure, their married children continue to use the perk, whereas it is not to be)
It is no brainer, if you plugged these simple loopholes and cleaned up the mess, it may make some difference.
I don;t care, if my airhostess is FAT, Ugly or does not smile, so long as she is trained for safety. I am happy.
Stop feeding on domestic routes. all major airlines, either sell or don;t. Can also save money and honestly, a Samosa or a Patties is not something hugely healthy or appetising.
Mr Patel, please improve airport food. At Delhi airport, Swadeshi restaurant, I almost broke my tooth by eating Stone In My Kachori. Soup was made of Powder, could only have a sip!!

Karnataka wildlife in a mess
More than a dozen elephants had unnatural deaths in the past one year alone showing an upward swing in poaching incidents. Many tiger skins and leopard skins have been confiscated recently. Officers with integrity who have taken action to prevent poaching and expose illegal activities of resort mafias have been transferred summarily. Even the head of the department(PCCF-wildlife) have been changed thrice in the recent one year. While all the available four PCCFs are rotting in innocuous posts juniors who tow the minister's line have been rewarded.
