Saare jahaan se achcha Hindustan humaara...
Still in Shimla and today my Respected Friend and I meet at a very warm Coffee Shop cum Patisserie and over Hot Lattes and Muffins we get chatting .

Me: Prashant Kishor has coined a slogan for UP..Apne Laddke vs Bahaari..
Respected Friend: He seems to be bereft of ideas in UP...just repeating the Bahari vs Bihari... it worked under a total different set of circumstances in Bihar..
M: BJP should respond with ...Laundo ki Sarkaar Noto aur Gundo waali...Bhenji ki Sarkaar Jaat-Paat waali... BJP ki Sarkaar Kaam-Kaaj waali.. or Launde Bekaar..Bhenji Kalaakar ...Modi Chamatkaar...
RF: I'm just perplexed about this Seven Star Samaajwaad... just saw on FB a post in which Mulayam's younger son's photograph is posted with a 3 crore Lamborghini....
M: SOP....belongs to someone who has given it to Prateek to test-drive....
I know of a Maharashtra Neta who has an insatiable love for cars and he pioneered this modus operandi...
really tragic ...the death on Vadodhra Station in a stampede during a Sharukh Khan promo ..
RF: Well first and foremost it was stupid of Sharukh to have undertaken this Promo..and then he tweeted details of the Promo ....Indian Railways does not follow him on Twitter ...so how would Railways know he's mobilizing fans ....and it's important to verify the Permission given by Railways ..was it for within the Train Promo ...or Promo outside the Train...on Stations ...
M: Sharad Yadav made a stupid statement...comparing Rape to Accepting inducements and Voting ...and then why did Khatiyar give importance to Priyanka..
RF: Sharad Yadav is habituated to making ludicrous statements ...Khatiyar ....are elections a Beauty Pageant..do only beautiful women and handsome men only win elections..he's just given Congress an opportunity for....chaati peetna...
M: He could have just said ...apart from her surname what are Priyanka's credentials in Politics ...do they think Public is that gullible that her entry can save a Ship that's half sunk...
RF: It could be their last attempt ... I was talking to a Congi yesterday ....and he said...either Priyanka will take Sonia's place or Rahul will..
M: I think viewing the fact Modi will get another two terms minimum ...I think they should plan for Priyanka's kids to lead Congress ..
RF: Chalo let's go to the next-door Bookshop ....no joke today.. Wish every Indian on our Republic Day ...and remember in a Democracy for our wrong choices we dearly pay ..

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 ?

Urjit Patel on the run

1. Urjit Patel had to run by taking double step so as not to reply to news paper media public in his home land Ahmedabad .
2 Urjit Patel had to run from facts in PAC as could not reply for which whole nation was waiting.
3. Urjit Patel is to be grilled again during budget session till knowing the facts.
4. Duties towards nation and citizen of Media newspaper was described during crowning of superpower Donald Trump. No one can escape from the facts and right step is required.
4. India is a 2nd highest populated country 125 cr in the world. It is not an easy task to handle through slogans. No waiting period can be given for results. Decisions and positive results has to move side by side just like reaction and action.
5. For businessmen, it is advised to stop their activities for a month when nothing is favourable and when no one is ready to understand the problems. And continue further if not satisfied. When service class people can ask for their demands then why business class can not ask. They are carrying lots of risks on their head like failure , loan repayment, family liability, other business liability and commitments etc.
