Prices are going up and the poor can’t even afford Dal Chapatti!!!
Veggies toh poor Janta abh bilkull nahi hai khaati!!!
The basic onion and aloo prices are beyond the poor Janta’s reach!!!
New heights of prices of onion and aloo ne kee hai breach!!
And you have Congressman in a Bureaucrat’s garb Montek saying prices will retreat!!!
Till then poor Janta will have to change eating habits or 4 days in a week will not eat!!
Sonia reads about the plight of the poor as she sips her coffee and munches a sandwich!!!
Mayo, cheese, tomato, cucumber, lettuce have been put sandwich deh wich (Punjabi for between)!
The poor can just see tomatoes and cucumbers but dare not eat these!!!
And they've forgotten the taste of paneer or desi cheese!!
They do not know what Mayo and lettuce are and to afford bread enough they do not make!!!
With aata prices shooting up they've had to reduce daily roti intake!!!!
Tea is now a luxury and its made with lesser patti, few drops of milk and pinch of cheeni!
And in tea joints now the cups and glasses are even more teeny-weeny!!
Rahul Baba is on a high protein diet and the poor of India are on a forced frugal diet!!!!
The poor cannot eat whereas the rich for a fad to eat light!!!
Even during the previous UPA stint prices raged!!!
And during this stint a return the high prices have staged!!!
All through out Pawar has been the Minister of Agriculture , Food and Civil Supplies!
And we know towards what his mind Pawar applies!!!
People say BJP is a ‘Trader's’ Party but reality is Pawar is their delight!!!!!!
He has Congress’s support otherwise Congress would have said what he’s doing is not right!!
And BJP is comatose!!!!
Time for the poor it arose!!
But then BJP has never been pro the gareeb!!!
To the Traders it’s always been kareeb!!
So in the end as Pawar pushes up prices BJP is asleep and Congress is helpless!!
Congress’s helplessness poor may take that Congress karr rahi hai price rise bless!!!
In the company of Chacha Amar Akhilesh has gone wonky or ‘off the rocker’!!!
And like Chacha turned into a mocker!!
He says now it’s between Rahul versus him!!!!
To reach Rahul’s stature he’ll need to workout for at least 3 decades in the ‘people's gym’!!
Compared to Rahul the man is pipsqueak!!!
Many would say ‘just see this upstarts cheek’!!!
Yeddy has been indulging in blatant double speak!!!
Blaming the Reddy’s for calamity insensitivity and then allowing a Rs. 1.7 crore leak!!
The leak.... money spent to redo his bunglow!!!
They say like water to redo his bunglow money did flow!!
Ram Jethmalini says parole to Manu was on humanitarian grounds!!
And this is not the first time when it comes to rightness Ram is out of bounds!!
And then these are the feelings of Manu’s Vakeel!!!
For the one who is paying him through the nose bad karr raha hai Ram feel!!
Manu has shown that he has not reformed during his time spent in jail!!!
In his case ‘objective of the incarceration gets a fail’!!!
Confucius says …….In fact he remains a threat to Society!!!
Continues with his goonda ways and does not know the meaning of propriety!!!
Flash.... Khoda and Laloo were pally and its rumored Laloo too finds place in one a/c book!
Rumored that some money even Laloo took!
Laloo will of course say 'that Laloo is not me'!!!
He'll say had it been me Khoda or anyone in his gang would have written Laloo ji!!

IS INDIAN BUREAUCRACY WORST IN THE WHOLE CONTINENT ?
Yes, Indian Burecacy is the worst . There is no limit to red tapism. It takes almost one full year to review any policy from one ministry to another. Look at the Railways they operate without full GM almost half the zones ?

India’s capitulation to China!!!
India has once again bungled on foreign affairs. It could not conquer its phobia about China. A concealed threat subtly conveyed through an anonymous column published in a Chinese daily reminiscent of 1962 debacle frightened India so much that it saw no sin in even advising Dalai Lama to convert a 'public address' into a 'religious discourse’. Worse still, it also prevented His holiness from visiting a famous monastery in the heart of Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh, China, Sorry, and India! Freudian slip was it! A great affront, it is, to His Holiness and our honored guest of six decades!
India demonstrated its utter weakness while dealing with China besides sending a bad signal to the entire world through its weak-kneed foreign policy based on timidity. This will have adverse repercussions on all our future relationships with China and Pakistan.
What provoked India’s sudden diplomatic volte face immediately after such bold policy pronouncements and initiatives in the present security scenario, remains a riddle inside an enigma wrapped in a mystery, to all career diplomats in the MEA. It is intriguing, particularly after a public pronouncement by the PM that our honoured guest is free to travel to any part of the country.

Becoming party to the parole tactics
It is sad to see Chandigarh Police becoming party to the parole tactics of Manu Sharma. It is a common knowledge amongst people in Chandigarh that a UT Cadre officer played a main role in recommending this parole. It is time that UT Police shows the book to this SP Rank officer who has on previous occasions been shielded for his high handedness also.

Sinha is an outstanding officer
B K Sinha, IAS is an outstanding officer- probity personified and very capable. The Government needs such people. Despite suffering for his uprightness, he bears no malice towards anybody- a mark of his strength of character. He used to be in the IPS for a year or so- the loss of the IPS has been the gain of the IAS. Many of his IPS colleagues- equally capable- remember him with warmth.

Slabs should be more stage based
Like in Chennai fare slabs should be more and stage based. Stages are also distance based only. 25, 50 paise coins are still in circulation in Chennai because of the fare structure there. In Delhi these small denomination coins were seen many years ago.
