The #PanamaPapers

Panama canal: A conduit to carry black money.
Panama disease: A financial disease involving offshoring.
Panama hat: Income Tax department ko topi pahanana with offshoring firms.
Panama cocktail: To mix white and black money in your financials.

1996: The Tailor of Panama.
20 years later…
1996: The Launderer of Panama.

Hamaam main sab nanga goes international.

Picchle saalo main itna leak ho chuka hai ki samundar bhar gaya hai, par mushkil se boond bhar arrests hi hue hai.

Looks like a lot of people are more interested in shouting Panama Mata ki Jai.

#BharatMataKiJai @ #NITSrinagar

The irony…
JNU students raised anti-India slogans and were arrested after due procedure.
NIT students raised pro-India slogans and were beaten up.

BJP leaders goofing up day in and day out. Alarming part is that they still look dazzlingly brilliant when compared to AAP-Congress leaders.

New term: “Mild lathi charge”.
Was the lathi mild?
Was the police charge mild?
Did they hit the students mildly?
‪#‎NITSrinagar‬

Bharat tere tukde honge = FoE = Freedom of Expression.
Bharat Mata ki Jai = FoE = Fascism of Extremists.

The latest round of Modi musings…

Supporters of Sonia: Neutral.
Supporters of Kejri: Neutral.
Supporters of Lalu: Neutral.
Supporters of Modi: Fill in blanks with expletives.

Who is greater? Sachin or Kohli? At least that’s a debate.
What of ‪#‎AdarshLiberals‬ who still think Pappu-Kejri-Kanhaiya each is greater than Modi?

Pappu will challenge Modi! (44 LS seats)
No Kejri will challenge Modi! (4 LS seats)
Errr Kanhaiya will challenge Modi! (CPI 1 LS seat)

The man* who does things makes many mistakes, but he never makes the biggest mistake of all: Doing nothing**!
—Benjamin Franklin
*Modi **MMS

Media…
Before: Don’t put caste or religion in headline, makes it look bad.
Now: Don’t put caste or religion in headline, unless it makes Modi look bad.

Modi to launch Stand Up India.
Pappu launched Stand Up Comedy India many years back.

Most ‪#‎OpinionPolls‬ in…
2002: Modi will lose.
2004: NDA will win.
2007: Modi will lose.
2009: UPA-NDA neck and neck, UPA slightly ahead.
2012: Hung Assembly in UP.
2014: BJP will not get 272.
2015: Some polls said Mahagatbandhan would win clearly. Some said NDA would win clearly. One gave such a range that MGB win, NDA win and hung Assembly was in a single poll!
Yet we fall for them every time.
Every single time!

Political musings of the day…

Lalu is India’s worst politician.
Kejri is Junior Lalu.
Kanhaiya is Junior Kejri.

India—Pappu se chahiye azaadi.
Bihar—Lalu se chahiye azaadi.
WB—Jungle Raj se chahiye azaadi.
JNU—Kanhaiya se chahiye azaadi.

The Rolling Stones debuted when Nehru was Prime Minister.
With the way they’re going, they might be performing even (if and) when Nehru’s great grandson becomes PM.

Nitish…
P for Prohibition.
P for Peace.
Jungle Raj criminal…
B for Bihar.
B for Bootlegging.

Lalu ne Bihar ki waat laga di.
Ab gham main daru bhi nahin pee sakte wahan ke log!
‪#‎JungleRajWithProhibition‬

Empty vessels (bartan) make loud noise.
Pori-bartan makes even louder noise with its empty promises.

Congress totally destroyed West Bengal by 1977.
Since then, for the last 39 years, it has been “Under Construction”.

#2016T20WorldCup musings

Glory days of West Indies cricket of the 1970s-80s in ODIs and Tests won’t return, but they’ve come back at least in international T20s!

Dhoni has been doing unconventional things for 9 years.
With that he’s won 3 ICC Trophies and 2 Asia Cups.
So you can’t say that he’s gone wrong suddenly.

Sehwag didn’t get his 3rd Test triple.
Dhoni isn’t getting his 3rd World Cup.
But Rohit will get his 3rd ODI double.

1975-Hockey-Indira.
1983-ODI-Indira.
2007-T20-Manmohan.
2011-ODI-Manmohan.
All 4 World Cups under Congress Prime Ministers.

1983 World Cup final…
183 in 60 overs enough with West Indies.
2016 World Cup semi-final…
192 in 20 overs not enough with West Indies.

1979—Eng-WI final.
Since then from 1983-2015 all World Cup (ODI + T20) finals (14 in all) had at least one team from Australasia
Full circle…
2016—Eng-WI final.

Greatest fighter: Bruce Lee.
Greatest villain: Christopher Lee.
Greatest cricketer: Virat Koh Lee.

Teacher…
Every day is not a Sunday.
Kohli…
Every day is an MC-BC chakka-chauka maaro day.

Kohli ko neend main se utha ke bat thama do to fir bhi kisiko bhi 6 maarega.

The England riddle…
Great Test and T20 team.
Rubbish ODI team.

Sachin was declared a better batsman than Gavaskar.
ODIs had a great role in that.
Kohli will surpass Sachin.
iT20s will ensure that.
