Aaj Ki Aawaz
You may give a thousand Parties in your lifetime but the real one is after you die!!!
Funeral is your last party….. how many attend it and how many genuinely cry???
Your true worth is then known,
After your death do the plants grow and flower from the seeds during your life which you had sown!
From what I see and hear seems YSR did well and his real Party will be a hit!!!
Into the best Parties in recent times list it'll fit!!
But Netas have shown that life does not stop!!
Even when the confirmation of the crash had not come some started fighting for the slot at the top!
They had not placed flowers on YSR's body and they had already started to fight for YSR's place!!!
Most of our Netas don't have grace and some when it comes to grabbing power lose grace!!
K. Rosiah has been sworn in as the internim CM and will in all probability be confirmed!!!!
Ultimately his name to replace CM will be affirmed!!
YSR's son is still a novice!!!
And still not ready to sit in the CM's Office!!
This is unique to the South….. people committing suicide when a Leader dies……. sad!!!!
Taking one's life in every Faith is considered bad!!!
But seems here Hero Worship is of the extreme kind!!
When a Leader dies some of his fans tend to go yonder with him…. lose the mind!!!
I simply do not understand how Praful Patel is talking like an Aviation expert!!!
Just hear jo joy yeh dolt karr raha hai blurt!!!
How can he comment on technical aspects or certify the Pilots or the Chopper???
As it is as an Aviation Minister his reports card says .... 'a cropper'!!!
Sugar will disappear from shelves soon…. hoarders on the job!!!!
Festivities they plan to rob!!!
And with Pawar at the helm their confidence is sky high!!!!
So you can expect prices of sugar to go up to Rs. 50……. get used to sugarless chai!!
Pawar's happy that in many food items a new bottom has been made!!!!
A very devious game he's played!!!
But it's not the Farmer but middlemen and the Big Players who will rake in mega bucks!!
Pawar's stint in UPA and UPA2 really sucks!!
In Singapore did Amar, Big B meet Nepal's 'dirty Prince' Paras…… a little bird says they did???
On this one of Amar's pals inadvertently opened the lid!
The meeting was hush hush!!
And Paras told them that with moolah he is flush!!
Paras wants to invest in India and it's in this context they met!!!
Hope via Banking Channels funds from Paras they get!!
Because if it's under the table money they could land up with fake currency …… bags full of it!!!
And Amar and Big B will unknowingly make the money legit!!!
Amar even promised to make a movie on the Palace murders to show Paras was not involved,
Paras hopes that via the movie in public memory the mystery will be solved!!
Confucius says…. Paras is a classical case of a person being rotten to the core!!!!
Amar and Big B are classical examples of people who have everything but still want more!
Adds…. Now Big B is going to appear in Big Boss!!!
I know he does not need to do this but then for money donkey ko he'll call 'Boss'!!

Govt. should concentrate on governance
Government should get out of the business of cooking and serving food. In fact government has no business to be in business and it should leave all businesses to those who know how to do business and concentrate on its own business (security, basic health care, quality education at primary/ secondary level, building basic infrastructure in form of roads, electricity, drinking water etc to enhance the productivity of millions of its people).The government should concentrate on the business of governance and not on governance of business.
