And sach ka they will make into jhoot and jhoot into sach!!
 
Yes Congress will use info collected to twist NCP’s tail!!!!!
Why do you think Patel and Sule karr rahe hai wail???
Both take pains to say that they do not hold in any IPL Team a proxy share!!!
A lot still on this there is to bare!!
 
Modi will go!!!
Though till the very last minute he will keep saying ‘no’!
 
Rot in cricket will continue!!!!
As you all know betting and fixing games in Indian cricket is not new!!
 
Ghadkari fainted at an anti price rise rally!!!
He’s not cut out for such things say people who with him are pretty pally!!!
 
BJP has got itself a President who cannot even lead a street protest!!
Ghadkari keeps failing test after test!!
 
He cannot even take credit for fainting by posing ‘see for Aam Aadmi what I bore’!!!!
Because TV bytes bring everything to the fore!!
 
Mr. Ghadkari fainted because he is unfit as he's grossly overweight!!
Boo......scores of Indians slog in the sun and do not faint despite being underweight!

Interest rates have to keep up with the inflaiton rate!!
 
World Markets are now entering a period in which there will extreme swings!!

In IPL matches there is a lot of ‘setting’!!

Odds for his staying are high and going very low!!!

FORUM
IPL bungling ?
From the very beginning, one was a little uncomfortable with the business of IPL. The huge sums at which the franchises were bought and the money bid on the players including our very own MS Dhoni left one flabbergasted. But then we never thought that IPL is one big game of money-laundering, betting, black-money, sex and sleaze. Shashi Tharoor and Lalit Modi's  spat in the wake of Kochi deal has erupted into a volcanic eruption (many times more than the Icelandic one) which is bound to ground many careers and reputations. The gossip bazaar is abuzz with rumours that the investment money in the several franchises has come through Mauritius and some other tax havens. There is even a sinister hint of terrorist' link of D- Company. I hope not. But then one starts thinking whether keeping Pakistani Players out of IPL was an intentioned design in the context of a bigger conspiracy to finish Indian Cricket in this manner. Pakistan must be laughing at us with the unfolding of this drama which has brought down with a thud the heights achieved by IPL by becoming a big and enviable brand in such a short time .The government is probing the whole murky saga but will the truth come out? There are cynics aplenty who are not willing to accept that the investigations will really throw up the truth or the guilty will be punished. Their cynicism stems out of the fact that two powerful Union Ministers have backed the entire IPL enterprise. I however still retain my  faith in the system howsoever rotten it maybe

Home Minister India requires
There is only one person who fits the bill to be Home Minister today and that is the current incumbent, Thiru P Chidambaram. Without him at the helm of affairs, we can be sure of the demise of the system of governance in the country. It may be fashionable to become a bleeding heart liberal (and many a celebrity is known to be very active in this field), but only Thiru P Chidambaram can bite the bullet and do something about the state of affairs (or the affairs of the state!). It is not a bed of roses, the post of Home Minister, but Thiru P Chidambaram is a worthy successor of Sardar Patel.

No purpose will be served
In fact a most stupid campaign is being run by RTI activists to get it done. APRs show only such properties for which there is proper permission or documentation. Ill-gotten wealth is never reflected in the APRs. So, enjoy a wild goose chase -perhaps promoted and organised by corrupt government servants for the idiots of the country.

CGHS is the worst set up
CGHS invariably refers the patient to government hospitals, if  sickness is other than  common disease  viz cough, cold, fever etc. The issue becomes more complex when you visit to referred  hospital and come to know that specialist for the particular disease would be available on a particular day. The option left with you is either visit a private doctor and get cured from your pocket or wait with illness for that particular day to see the doctor in the hospital. The specialist would prescribe you some medicine . With prescription you again go to CGHS and take the medicine same day if available or wait again till they purchase it for you.

 A miracle indeed !
Sweat equity allotted to a would-be wife of a value little in excess of INR 700 million in a company where the minister of his own admission is a mentor , in the face of a fact that even Narayan Murthys of the world in the start-up years of their companies would never imagine such a largesse to themselves, are evidences never to be lost sight of. How so chic and suave your English is , how so impassioned your defence is , and what ever be your intellectual and career stats , no scent of Arabia would ward off the stink. Tharoor is a goner. Puppy love did him in, should one say.

Verify the facts
IPS is not conspicuous by its absence when it comes to list of martyrs who have laid down their life for service of nation. Please go and visit the martyrs column of NPA, Hyderabad, for first hand knowledge. There is no denying the fact that CPO officers have also been martyred in line of duty but without knowing things in entirety, just to ridicule others, u write things without verification..

Why no IT notice to IPL ? 
Once upon a time there was an IAS officer who did not know how to file his Income Tax Returns. He requested his accountant to fill up the form for him which he then signed without checking all the details as he simply did not understand all the IT rules. Sure enough he received a very rude notice from the local ITO summoning him to appear in person or face dire consequences and legal penalties. The amount in dispute was Rs 40023. After much mental anguish to the officer the tangle was sorted out, but not before a bribe for Rs. 3000 was extracted from the hapless officer. Fast forward to 2010 April and you have the astounding spectacle of the Income Tax Department yet to issue notices to the IPL! There are so many Commissioners of Income Tax today and so many  more rules and yet not one IT Commissioner had the guts to issue a single notice to the IPL. Many years ago a brave Income Tax Commissioner issued a notice to the RSS and he was immediately transferred to the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. And mind you ,then Congress was in power.

Regarding IFSA Maharastra.
They are often weeping and seem to be in the welter of self pity. They should write to Jairam ramesha and file case in the Bombay High Court on ACR and Apex scale\. Also did they write to CM/ PM and DoPT. Simply writing in this colum would not do. Rise and Rise Baby and fight with mind and vigour

AGUMUT IPS are frustrated
What happened about the promotion of 1995 batch IPS officers of  AGMUT cadre. MHA is always at its worst when it is AGMUT cadre while it should have been otherwise. Chidambaram please show your dynamism and do things in time and punish these so called cadre managers to teach them a lesson. IPS officers are very much frustrated when they are not being given their overdue due to clericalism of MHA.
