Paneer it is...
I'm at a roadside South Indian eatery next to Nagaland House. The uniqueness here is the Idli and Vadas are dipped in Sambar for some time before being served ....authentic stuff. A South Indian and UPite share the stand-up table gorging on Vadas and Idlis.

South Indian Guy gets a message alert and with soiled hands gingerly accesses the message and reads it and exclaims ...Aiyee-yo-yo...Chinama convicted ...aiyee-yo-yo..Amma convicted too..
Me: So now does that mean advantage Paneer...
SIG: Saar (Sir) not Paneer...Saar..if you want to use short form then OPS Saar....
M: But before this message came I heard you use Paneer umpteen times while you were talking to someone in Tamil on your Mobile ....
SIG: Saar... Saar...
UPite: From Kanyakumari to Kashmir ..same phenomena ..salute the rising Sun...
Me: So now there will be clarity in TN....hopefully News Channels will soon shift focus..
SIG: Unless Swami steps in and does some magic...he's known for his tenacity ....it's because of his tenacity she's got convicted ...and oddly his tenacity may queer the pitch for OPS..
M: It's rumored that Chinama's hubby is 'talented' like Amar Singh...maybe he will conjure up something ...
SIG: Saar ...OPS Saar was handpicked by Amma...Chinama was her confidante....
M: But hadn't Amma thrown Chinama out and she returned on the condition that she would cut ties with her family ..especially her hubby.. so actually OPS is the rightful claimant ..as Chinama and Hubby got back together after Amma's death..let's see what Khichdi is made now...
UPite: UP mein dekho kya khichdi bann rahi hai...Rahul and Aki...news from UP is...Khichdi is supposed to be easy on the tummy ..but Rahul Aki khichdi hajjam nahi ho rahi hai UP waalo ko...
M: I just heard wherever Rahul goes he's shown BJP flags ...but rather than getting the hint..he says even BJP is welcoming him...
UPite: Akkal ka khooaa (well) ek hai paani bharre anek...Bartan (vessel) hee mein raaz hai..Paani sabh mein ek... what can be done when his Bartan or Brain is just thimble size...
M: But tell me why do UPites like about Modi ..because every Pre Poll survey says BJP ahead..and in UP Modi is The Face of BJP..
Upite: Dumm waala...kissi se nahi darta... Desh Bhakt... the decisions he's taken...he's perceived to be pro poor....though Rahul keeps saying Suit Boot ki Sarkaar....but we know who helped Suit Boot waale....
M: What is the worst thing about Samaajwaad Raaj (oxymoron but the reality)...
UPite: Goonda Raj ...and in the name of Samaajwaad Poonjiwaad and Pariwaarwaad...and allying with Congress ...it's not ek aur ek gyaara....it's actually 1-1= sifar...they've always been cursing each other ...we've not forgotten the curses and taunts ..
M: What did Mulyam mean....when he said BJP winning ..
UPite: Sent a message to Muslims ..
SIG: Saar ...new message ...it's a joke ....when Chinama heard the conviction news ...Chinama exclaimed ...Oops...MLAs took it as OPS and ran out to meet OPS...Saar TN needs RaGa very badly ..after Amma tragedy and now all this fracas ...we need someone to make us laugh...
M: Arre give Kejri sewa ka mauka.... by now he would have demanded OPS's degree ....Guv's Degree .....and 'sabh mille hooe hai...there is DMK in AIDMK'.....

DEBATE

How do you see the two most powerful leaders of the World - Donald Trump and Narendra Modi ?

Some people see Donald Trump as Narendra Modi of the USA. Like Modi in 2014, they say, Trump touched the raw nerve of the US citizens in 2016 to win a decisive victory.

If Modi, with his magnetic electoral campaign, won an absolute majority for his party for the first time in 2014, Trump also staged a spectacular campaign to win the top job for himself.

How do you (surfers of whispersinthecorridors.com) see the two most powerful leaders of the World ?
