WHAT A SHAME!.......POSTCARD AND THE PROJECT CALLED A GREAT LOOT

India may not find a place in the sporting hall of fame going my the medals tally and the world records, but it does make it to the top, as one of the most corrupt nations yet again. What a shame! The very people, responsible for ensuring the success of the most prestigious and eagerly awaited sporting event The Commonwealth Games, Delhi 2010 have succeeded in maligning the image of India in front of the whole world. Is it surprising? Definitely not. Looking at the track record of our khadi clad political honchos, this isn't a stray episode. India has been taken for a ride by such hoodlums in the past for their selfish gains.They have dirtied the image of this great nation many a times before. And if history is any indication, trust me we haven't seen the last of such heinous acts.... THINK ABOUT IT.

WHAT A SHAME!..............WHAT A SHAME!!

NETAJI COMETH !! It's election time again

There's something different about our dear Mr. Politician this time. The fabulous all white brigade has embarked on a "no nonsense" extremely business like approach. No one is leaving any stone unturned to charm the janta janaardan ( Masses ). What's new ?one might ask. The drill is quite predictable when it's kissa khursi ka ( power struggle), every time the nation goes to the poll.

What's intriguing and well worth a postcard is the 360 degree, visibility at all cost, methodology. It surely is in tune with the changing times.And looking at the given scenario very much demand of the hour. Isn't it Netaji ??

Look at the way your handy has been flooded with innovative texts about the strengths of some of the potential custodians of India's political fate.

Well ! I am not sure whether our Politicians means business or not , but their approach surely does.

The day Mumbai crawled !!

I haven't seen anything of this magnitude. The day, 15th Oct 08.....the occasion, 61st birthday celebration of an eminent political figure. That day, the star studded Bollywood faced a real scare....that day the whole of Mumbai got invited.

What surprised me the most was the speed at which the landscape of the famous city got a makeover........so what if it only lasted for a day. You name it, the man of the moment, was on every poster, kiosk, billboard, right across the city.

Come eve of 15th Oct 08, the buzz had reached a feverish pitch. Sea of people filled the good old Shivaji Park, and thousands who couldn't make it inside had gathered around the periphery.

As always, average people like me, my friend and cousin joey, were at the receiving end of this mega display. After the hard days grind, people were stuck for hours in traffic jams. If you ask me there's very little they could have done about it. For the power brokers living room extends beyond the concrete confines.... for them the whole world is their playground.

And who says only 16 is sweet.............61 is even sweeter. Isn't it? Ask the man??
