’s an excellent site but the only lapse is that it concentrates more on North rather than South. Keep an eye on South Indian news also. Keep it up.

Aaj Ki Aawaz

Congress is propping up Raj and Sharukh….. do you see the game????
And in these games Congress has a lot of fame!!
 
Sharukh it’s propping up for its majority minority thrust!!
And Raj it’s propping so that Shiv Sena ho jaye bust!!
 
Now Sharukh’s Dad being a freedom fighter has been brought in!!
Message… Dad was a freedom fighter so son cannot commit patriotism pe sin!!
 
This is not a hard and fast rule and there are examples to show otherwise!!
There are sons who've not been patriotic so this example does not suffice!! 
 
Is cricket more important than this Nation?????
Even if one adds sportsmanship to cricket still it’s a grossly unequal equation!!
 
Mumbai was attacked and Pakistan is not interested in arresting those involved!
To fight India on various issues Pakistan seems to be resolved!!
 
India’s Foreign Secretary picked up the phone and asked her Paki counterpart ‘let’s talk’!
And the response from Pakistan India ko karna chaihiye balk!!
 
India is living in a fool’s paradise if it thinks talks will make any headway!!
And as our Sarkaar talked and talks its Indians with their lives who paid and will pay!!
 
Pakistan has already said ‘ we cannot assure that there will not be another 26/11’!
So to chum up with Pakistan why is Indian moving earth and heaven???
 
Well it’s all because of the majority minority vote!!!
And Congress hopes its friendly overtures with Pakis this vote bank will take note!!
 
It all started with Mumbai MC polls but now it’s gone a step ahead!!!
And fact is by Sena, MNS and Congress down the thorny path public is being led!
 
The adage says garden path but here it’s the thorny paath!!
Not the Nation but apna apna political interest ka teeno karr rahe hai saath!!
 
The only stand that has merit is Sena’s demanding Sharukh retract his IPL comment!
And please see by the following what message by Sharukh is being sent!!
 
In camera glare he says…. Mazhab nahi sikhaatha apas mein baier rakhna…stop!
Hindi hai humm watan hai Hindustan humaara karr diya Sharukh ne chop!!
 
Why did he chop out the second line????
This indeed is a very telling sign!!
 
On the other hand Sena and MNS are totally out of place to say Mumbai belongs to ‘us’!
‘Us’ means Marathi Manoos and both feel in this issue there is russ (juice)!!
 
Mumbai is a Indian City and not Balashib or Raj's jageer!!!
And its Indians that have made this City so ameer!!
 
AICC is meeting to discuss price rise … message sending exercise!!
And to show sympathy for the Public for two minutes silence all of them will rise!!
 
There will be a lot of yawing and many will even sleep!!!
A few croc tears some of them will even weep!!
 
In the end a resolution will be adopted….. 'we understand the Public’s pain'!!!
'To show solidarity till the prices ebb even 1 Kilo no AICC member will gain'!!
 
And when our Netas hide so much from us they’ll gain weight and hide it!!!
Only way they’ll be caught is if in a ‘donation' scale they sit!!
 
Like say to show love for the people if one of them gets weighed in ladoos or barfi!!!
Or in 1 Rupee coins terming each coin like it’s a ashrafi!
 
Then only will the true weight gain be known!!
Catch….. we must know his or her weight before the resolution for pledge to be blown!
 
So AICC should declare the weight of each AICC member for the record!!!!
Weighing machine before a Committee each AICC Mmeber should board!! 
 
And as Public faces inflation BJP Leaders are having a gala time!!
Such expenditure for a meet at such a time is a crime!!
 
Ghadkari and other BJP topguns will be staying in five star tents fit for a Raja!!!
Guests visiting his tent will be served badam sharbat and badam and khaaja!!
 
And as Ghadkari's a foodie he’s taking special interest on the food at the meet!!!
With the menu for all three days all the BJP Netas he will greet!!
 
Confucius says….. he’ll win them via the paapi pett!!!
By making the meet a foodie fete!!!
 
Adds... the meet will be ' came, ate and returned'!!!
And a huge pile of cash was burned!!
 
Flash...... This Sarkaar seems to be in a hurry to restart talks... why????
I'm sure hearing this news many an Indian must have let out a 'hai'!!
 
Apart from appeasement the objective is also to show the World we are for talking!!
Extra mile India is walking!!
 
Chalo let them try once more and once more there will be an attack,
And to square one we'll be back!!
 
And Hafiz Sayeed says India should talk with him..... joke maara!!
Many would say India ke face parr thapad hai iss ne maara!!!
 
Yes get him kidnapped and get him here and then talk to this murderous thug!!
Like me I'm sure aap sabh ko bhi Sayeed's demand ne kiya hogaa bug!!
 
There's talk that Obama may nationalize US Pensions!!!
In the money marketa this will be cause tensions!

WHO WILL BE THE QUEEN'S CHOICE FOR PRIME MINISTER AFTER DR. MANMOHAN SINGH?

Rahul Gandhi
I think that person will be Rahul Gandhi. As all others may have objection to each other and hence finally Rahul who had very wisely avoided taking any post will take up this responsibility with committment from others to come with him. Regards
Dr R T Patil  ramabhau@gmail.com
Antony and Digvijay Singh
I had indicated Digvijay Singh. I now add Antony and Raksha Mantri. Antony could emerge as the most likely choice.

It doesn’t matter
With the inflation rate going up daily, whosoever be the PM how does it matter to a common man and salaried class.  All these things are only for that VIP section who have vested interest and enter politics with a business motive for their personal benefit.

Irresponsible reporting
Reference your article "Why Hurry in Indian Navy", of Feb 5, please moderate the language which you are using. To say that you have heard that there is such a matter in the offing is one thing. To directly imply it, is actionable libel, and you should be careful what you say. Slandering an entire force on the basis of heresay is irresponsibility at the very least.
A concerned citizen.

Let an Independent body take charge 
Assign the job to some independent body. There will be no vacancy left. In a country of more than 100 crores and where even recruitment to a Jawan's post results in stampede, why are the posts vacant?
