Will Akhilesh & Cong go together?

No one allies with a falling knife ...
I'm still in Shimla and today my Respected Friend and yours truly meet for lunch at the Shere Punjab Dhaba and over sumptuous Punjabi fare we get chatting.
Me: So its clear SP is not forming an Alliance with Congress .....
Respected Friend : Who would like to ally with a 'falling knife'...and don't read too much into Mulayam sidelining Netas close to Akhilesh ...its all one big drama to get/keep winnable candidates in ...and duds out....
M: So Akhilesh will be the Young Face of the same old Party ....
RF: Absolutely ... but first there will be some Noora Dangal between Father and Uncle and Akhilesh ..
M: And Mayawathi will not ally with Congress ..
RF: Not even if Sonia landed up at her doorstep with truckloads of flowers, chocolates and Italian designer ladies handbags ....
M: Which in effect means both have discounted Congress coming back to power at the Centre and resorting to 'teach you a lesson' tactics !! Both must be still remembering UPA days ...jabh dono ke arms used to perpetually ache because of the arm twisting !
RF: I think now Congress in heart of hearts knows it's not coming back to power ..I think Congress's aim is now to be the Opposition with a respectable presence!
M: Status quo for Baba ..because the Faithful will be appointed as LOPs...and Baba can go on with his distracted ways and Heir apparent tag.... that's become his recognition ...
RF: I was on FB the other day and I noticed AAPs formula...AAPians use FB to spread a lot of misinformation about AD+BJP...like ...a BJP Neta caught with 20000 crores New 2000 Notes ...turned out to be a hoax .... so much misinformation on the Demonitization!!
M: This is usually Congress's domain but seems AAP is taking over ....by the way yesterday I was at a Dhaba and like others was watching the News on the TV.... Rahul was demanding that Modi reveal the list which allegedly Swiss Banks have handed over to India ...
RF: Knowing Rahul ..could be there is no such list ...and this is just hawai fire...
M: Actually when I looked around ...some fellow guests had smirks on their faces and some where shaking their heads ...as if to say ...is he saying this !!
RF: Well every Nation has secrets that are open knowledge ...
M: Modi is going to speak to the Nation on Dec 31 at 7.30..
RF: Though the news would have given butterflies in many tummies ...but I think he will take stock of what's happened in 50 days ...the goals set out and achieved ..he may talk about the all round gains ...
M: I know for a fact many have delayed their New Year Eve celebrations by an hour ....
RF: Welcome change from the past .....when the Government leaked like a sieve ...okay let's move out ... joke for the road ....Akhilesh has changed his Mobile caller tune to... Bapu sehath ke liye tuh toh haanikaarak hai.....and the way AAP is going ..like it better get Lawyers as Spokesmen ..
M: Some CAs too....
We laugh and move out.

Demonetisation - The Longest Referendum

Legions have ranged against Prime Minister Narendra Modi for demonetisation. The public has supported the scheme wholeheartedly. Demonetisation has dealt the deadliest blow to the prevailing climate of corruption in the country. Opposing demonetisation amounts to holding out an assurance to the corrupt of future protection if they help the Congress led opposition capture power once again. Ironically it has turned out to be the longest Referendum in the history of democracy getting overwhelming public support making 282 into 382+ in terms of value. When the overpowering desire is to rule, the mind of the opponents can make heaven of hell and hell of heaven.

Fun of demonetisation

The real pain or shall I say the fun of demonetisation was felt when we left home for Pondicherry for our usual one month sojourn away from Delhi cold. Taking the taxi from Noida to Terminal 3 from where we were to take the jet Airways flight to Chennai we had to shell out 800 rupees for the taxi as there was no card swipe arrangement with the taxi wallah. Landing at Chennai we took a pre-paid taxi to Pondicherry which charged us Rs.3300 plus 180 all paid in cash again. After settling down in the Guest house we went in the evening to our favourite place close by to have dinner. Here too there was no POS machine. So the payment has to be made in cash. With limited cash collected from our four weekly trips to the bank and nearly 5000 gone on the first day we became alert as ATM use of SBI bank as we were doing during our trips in previous years for any amount could not be accessible now with limited cash and crowds here too. So from next day(Today is our fourth day)we plan our food outings in a better way. We go to the places for eating or other requirements where card swipe machines are available. Counting cash has really become a serious concern even at our age and in retirement when access to one's own savings is restricted due to cash crunch. But instead of bemoaning, I and my husband are getting quite a fun out of it. No more trips to our popular bookshops where picking up books that caught our fancy was a compulsive habit. Maybe the ones having card swipe machine will fill our days with reading. Otherwise walk on the beach and just counting the tides of Ocean(incidentally we are staying near the seashore)from the balcony of our first floor room is pleasure enough.
