Doctor's advice Amma is going to follow!!!
From 9-5 nothing she's going to swallow!!!
It's a two in one fast,
Health reasons and so that DMK she can politically blast!!!
She may loose a kilo or two!!!
As per her Docs this is something a daily basis that she must do!!
'Indefinite strike till Sri Lanka Tamil issue is not solved' should be Amma's resolution!!!
Don't know about them but this could be for her health problems a solution!!
In fact she could have kick off fasting down South!!!
From 9-5 many Leaders will not use for eating the mouth!!!
Wish they'd eat and from 9-5 keep not say a word!!!!
For politicians something unheard!!
A Politician not speaking for the entire day!!!!
Well TN Leaders could show the way!!!
Commies are in dire straits as in the horizon losses loom!!!
Many predict that Commies are fast progressing to doom!!!
So BJD is a tinka for the Commies who are drowning!!!
And Commies feel in Orissa their arch enemy they are downing!!!
Amar is euphoric as in the List of India 's powerful he's been lived Number 6!!!
And that's because of his reputation of being the wily Mr. Fix!!!
The listing also says he's in this position because of his wheeling and dealing!!!
But then badnaam ka bhi naam hotha hai so very rightly top of the World he's feeling!
And the person who's shoulders he's used,
Or you can say abused.
This person who is Big B comes 19th on this list!!!!
Does Amar depend on Big B or Amar ko Big B karta hai assist????
As days go by I get the feeling that fight its going to be a UPA versus Third Front fight!!
And by the looks of it result could indeed be very tight!!!
Fact is Political Parties fight elections as part of a alliance!!!
And post elections to grab power to this alliance they show defiance!!!
I say this because tomorrow UPA Allies could just run away!!!
And go the Third Front way!!!
Pawar, Laloo, Paswan and Karuna could jump boat post election!!!
Bottom line is post election they will make their actual alliance selection!!!
Neither are Political Parties accountable on the Manifesto or alliances that they make!!!
Some steps to hold them accountable EC should take!!!
Today Pawar is with Congress and tomorrow Pawar could go Thrid Front's way!!!
Whereas actually in the alliance NCP has sought votes in that alliance NCP should stay!!
With Third Front's chances improving FII Managers would be worried!!!
To get out of India they'd be even more hurried!!!
As it is FII money is flowing out!!!
As these Managers see the writing on the fall it could turn into a flood without a doubt!
Confucius says…… History tends to repeat (itself)!!!!
Once again a regional kichdi karr sakthi hai National Parties ko defeat!!!

Finally, no increase in retirement age
The government did not finally increase the retirement age. As a result, the Congress will suffer in the constituency in Delhi where there are lot of government servants

Some comments from Raja about judiciary are intemperate.
Judges are protected as any other person under the RTI Act itself which does not permit disclosure of third party information by public authority. And basically, what larger public interest is served by judges or anyone else disclosing their income, except satisfying curiosity?

Live Order and Inactive Order
Live orders are those orders which are for the benefit of officers of US/PPPs and above and they are given out of way entitlement. Inactive orders are those orders like the one recommended by clowns of 6th CPC with regard to implementation of 3 ACP which nullifies the benefit of earlier 2 ACPs and is going to create lot of misunderstanding amongst employees of the same grade, i.e one employees getting Grade Pay of Rs.4800/- after two ACP(24 years) and according to new ACP of 6th CPC; the employee of the same grade will be entitled for Grade Pay of Rs.4600/- only and that too after 30 years. This is clearly evident in steno line and thus killing the poor stenographers. Great intellectual decision and an order fit for National Award.
