The best of the entire dynasty…

Motilal: Nobody would have guessed that I would one day be associated with a powerful dynasty!
Sonia: Same here!

Nehru: I did states reorganisation.
Sonia: I’m starting it too.

Indira: I imposed Emergency.
Sonia: I tried it in Cyberspace.

The Indian politician’s oath…

Your own ease, comfort and safety come first, always and every time.
The honour, welfare and comfort of the partymen come next.
The safety, honour and welfare of your country come last, always and every time.
(With due apologies to glorious cadets of the IMA and Field Marshal Philip Chetwode)

Totally misquoting the original by US business house…
Rule 1: The politician is always right.
Rule 2: If the politician is ever wrong, re-read Rule 1.

Totally misquoting the original by US consultancy firm…
When the politician comes first, the politician will last.

Totally misquoting the original by Gandhi…
The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of yourself.
That service is the noblest which is rendered for one’s own sake.

Totally misquoting the original by Tagore…
I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I looted and behold, service became joy.

Totally misquoting the original by Einstein…
Only a life lived in the service one’s self is worth living.

Totally misquoting the original by Woodrown Wilson…
You are not here merely to make a living. You are here to enrich yourself, and to impoverish the country in the process.

Totally misquoting the original by Mother Teresa…
If you can’t feed a hundred Indian citizens, then just feed yourself.

Totally misquoting the original by Fred Rogers…
Life is for self-service.

Modi and the Gujarat Model…

To counter the Gujarat Model, economists are combining the best of secular states like Bihar, Uttarakhand, Delhi, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh.
It will be called the BUDHU Model for short.

Modi is campaign chief and…
Pappu: Don’t want to be PM.
Nitish: Struggling to be CM.
Akhilesh: Just struggling.
Andhra: Does it even have a CM?

Life on the edge!
Take a taxi driven by a Bihari to Aditi Restaurant. Once there, praise Modi and demand that Mumbai separate from Maharashtra!

texture-1655298_640Q: Is it bad luck if you walk on the cracks on the pavement.
A: It doesn’t make any difference. But people think you’re an idiot if you walk in a funny manner trying to avoid all those cracks. That may eventually bring bad luck in some form.

Q: Is 13 an unlucky number?
A: No. 13 doesn’t consider itself lucky or unlucky. It is an inanimate number.

dark-2024127_640Q: If you wish on a shooting star, do you get your wish?
A: If you believe that a disintegrating piece of large rock will somehow absorb your thoughts and make the universe conspire to see that your stupid silly mundane wish comes true and actually succeed, then you’re spot on.

Q: Does a rabbit’s foot bring good luck?
A: It’s pretty bad luck and a cruel thing to do it the rabbit is still alive and hopping on one leg somewhere. Plus, do you keep dead human pieces about you? How is the life of a rabbit different from that of a human being from the point of view of Mother Nature? The truth is that all humans are extremely bad luck for all animals.
