Aaj Ki Aaawaz
PAC business can go to hell …. BJP comes first or pehla!!!
By boycotting PAC meet BJP tried to do on Jaswant nehle pe dehla!!
This is what BJP has evolved into!!!
And that is why the Nation at BJP karr rahi hai boo!
Arre Bhai fight Jaswant but why make PAC work suffer!!!
Don't know this boycott PAC meet is the idea of which duffer???
That's a good one…. BJP could be blessed with twins soon!!!
And for BJP these births could be a boon!!
Advani and Rajnath out and new Leader of Opposition and Party President appointed!
Really with both these 'losers' continuing BJP's supporters are dissapointed!!
Advani and Rajnath should have taken responsibility for BJP's loss and resigned!!!
But both chose to continue and just whined and whined!!
Advani is responsible for BJP's rise and also for its downfall!!!
Now he's made it seasonal and says he'll go 'by fall'!!
But seems he'll stick to this!!!
Though some say the deadline he's going to miss!!!
As BJP falls more and more what do you think Advani does….. sees movies on the Telly!!!
Refuses to step out of his house in Delhi!!!
Either he's very attached to the house or he cannot show face outside!!
In fact it's both and that is why in the house karr raha hai Advani hide!
PC is going to US..... will he too be given the 'third degree search'????
If he does not want this to happen then he should wear a T'Shirt... I go to Church!!!
And below he can wear his trademark lungi.....what a sight he will be!!!!
Just a word of advice.... in a lungi in the 'Men' toilet it'll be very embarrassing to pee!!
And in US if he locks himself in the 'number two loo' to pee!!!!
As very unmanly this act Americans will see!!!
So if he wears a lungi his security should mandate,
That when he enters the toilets be cleared and outside prospective users wait!!
Chori in Rashtrapati Bhavan has resulted in many red faces!!!!
Isn't Rashtrapati Bhavan one of the most impregnable places???
Yes it could be an inside job but this should be more worrying!!
Should send the Security Agencies scurrying!!
Bottom line is tomorrow these chors from the inside could compromise Presidents security!
Hope they realize this 'insecurity'???
Though I'm not a fan of Pratibha Patil as I still feel she was the wrong choice in the first place!!
But then it's not about her but the fact that chori took place in President's place!!
And I hope she's not given a second term… not after she took credit for NREGA scheme!!
Hope Sonia does see the 'scheme'!!
If Rahul is to take over in a few years then Mohna could end up in the Presi's Chair!!!!
Hope for 'ceremony' he has a flair!!
Maybe both Rahul and YSR's son will become PM and CM respectively concurrently!!
Let 'seat warmers' do the job currently!!
But Mohna has proven to be much more than a seat warmer….. kudos to him!!!
I hear he has a way of getting his word in and letting Sonia feel its per her whim!
Krishna and Tharoor have been enjoying five star hospitality for some time!!
They say they are paying the Hotel Bills and staying in Five Star Hotels is not a crime!!
If you correlate what the Hotels charge and their declared Net Worth!!!!
You would ask 'are they selling assets to pay their Hotel bills' in mirth???
Though it is possible that Hotels could be charging them 'next to nothing'!!
But then no Hotel will gift nothing without expecting something!!
So as Ministers should they be accepting these favors..... no????
To their respective State Guest Houses they should go!!!
Pawar is really sweating under his collar!!!
He's worried that 'Gori' this time could get him by his collar!!
He's sent feelers and now plans to put up a NCP ad outside 10 Janpath!!!
The ad will say ' NCP and Congress on a winning path ( like path in Janpath)!!
BJP - Sena ads will cry …. A vote for MNS is a vote for Congress!!!
MNS is giving BJP - Sena a lot of stress!!!
Sena and MNS share the same vote bank!!!!
Sena votes are going to tank!!
Some even say post this election Raj could emerge stronger!!!
And would not need to look like Uncle Balasahib any longer!!
Read the article in Society's September issue on Big B!!!
The real Big B you will get to see!!!
Confucius says….you'll also deduce Big B is in actuality is a very small man…teeny weeny!
Jealous, insecure, selfish and a big meany!!!
Adds……. you will also be able to unravel Big B's overstay in the Lion City!!!!!
And article will bring in you for his son and wife pity!!!

Don't be taken by surprise !
Don't be taken by surprise if the majority of government employees would travel by taxi only in future, that too from Kashmir to Kanyakumari!
Geevee
Considered decision of Government.
Well this is thoughtful and correct decision of the Governement to facilitate government officers/employees to let them feel enjoyment with their old and physically challenged, if any in the family.

Yes, retirement age should be 62
Raju Latha rajulatha83@gmail.com
Age should be 62 years keeping in view the longevity increase in the last decade.
A K Gupta ashoka_gupta2000@yahoo.com
Yes, I agree that the retirement age should be 62 years.
K S Yadav ksraghav1949@yahoo.com
Yes, the retirement age should be raised to 62 years, especially for employees of such of those public sector companies who do not have good pension benefits. Another factor to be considered in favour of increasing the age limit to 62 years is that the average life span has increased with the improved medical facilities and so the physical fitness has also increased.
Viswanathan rajlathu@yahoo.com
Yes, retirement age should be 62 in order to maintain the parity because most of the officers who are having god father always get extension irrespective of their talent and working capacity while on the other side, the honest and sincere officers are always deprived this opportunity. In order to use the talent, experience of the officers and from the financial point of view it will be in the interest of each organisation as well as government to increase the age of retirement 62.Government should issue orders without any further delay.
S P Singh sps4@hotmail.com
In my opinion, retirement age should be 62 years. It will help immensely to bring up children depending on parents.
Fakir Chand fakir_1951@yahoo.com
No. It stiffles the bureaucracy with oldies, while it is a known fact that new generations are getting more and more intelligent. They don't think like old red tapists and hence it is in the interest of the country that Government Servants retire by 60, better at 58.
Upendra Vasistha upendra_vash@yahoo.com
As most of the services retirement age is 62 or more like teaching both in schools and colleges ,judiciary , many of the autonomous bodies head etc., I think the age for retirement in government also should be 62.
Suchitra suchitra2001@yahoo.com
Retirement age should be raised to 62 years as paying half salary plus DA as pension to employees does not yield much. So Government should recover much from the experienced employees by raising retirement age.
