∙ The ABCD of Tamil Nadu politics…
A for AIADMK.
B for BJP.
C for Congress.
D for DMK.
Key: Congress aur BJP gaye tel lene.
Hum log permanent A/D alternating current se hi kaam chala lenge.

∙ The Political Traffic Signal of West Bengal has turned Green.
But has the Development Traffic Signal just turned Red?

∙ Meanwhile…
The Congress Election Campaign in Karnataka is poised to enter its fourth year next month.
The Centre may extend BSY’s term even after 5 years if he is not toppled by then.
(Hum usko gira ke hi rahenge… term expiry is not enough)
P.S. BSY has also emerged as India’s Most Trusted politician.
(Aur kisi ne itne Trust Votes survive kiye hai?)

Jaya ho!
Lal Salaam Tamaam.
Bonus: No ji to the 2G team!

Pendulum, pendulum, yes papa!
Still swinging results, no papa!
Open the ballot boxes, ha ha ha!
(Hail to the Tamil Nadu voters. No matter how good or a bad government, it will be booted out anyway!)
OR
The only constant is change (of a Tamil Nadu government)

Congratulations national capital!
The Mamata Derail Express has just left New Delhi for good, making its way to West Bengal to ply there for 5 years.
(A lesson on how to replace a really bad government with one that promises to be much worse.)

∙ Wear a white kurta pyjama at least 1000 times. Check.

∙ Say at least a 100 times that you don’t want to be Prime Minister. Check.

∙ Be a humble party worker for many years. Check.

∙ Eat in a rural home and sleep there. Check.

∙ Carry a pile of dirt in a vessel on a shoulder with a farmer. Check.

∙ Travel by a local train. Check.

∙ Tour India (almost) like Mahatma Gandhi. Check.

∙ Get credit for a Lok Sabha national victory. Check.

∙ Take potshots at major opposition leaders. Check.

∙ Travel by bike on a rural dirt road. Check.

∙ Participate in a dharna. Check.

∙ Get arrested. Check.

Next is what?

P.S. If the direct descendant of three prime ministers has to sit on a dharna in this country, then what hope is there for the rest of mere mortals?

A tribute to Anna Hazare…

First of all you have to change yourself…
(That Anna Hazare did when he survived the war and came back home)

Then you get the power to change the little world around you…
(That he did when he transformed his village Ralegaon Siddhi from a barren den of drinkers to a lush green model village admired by the nation)

After that you can effect an even bigger change…
(That he did by his decades of endless crusading which led to many ministers resigning and a lot of work to getting done)

Then you get the power to change the fate of millions…
(The crusade against corruption is just the beginning and may transform India)

That’s the Anna message: If you want to change the world first, you will fail. Sincerely change yourself, the rest will automatically follow.

Advani (aloud): I get up every day thinking that if I was Prime Minister today, then all these scams wouldn’t have taken place!

Sushma (to herself): I get up every day thinking that had you quit gracefully in 2004, I would have led the party to victory in 2009. I fear you will be around in 2014 too.

Somewhere far away…

Manmohan: How does the cleanest PM in the history of India attract the maximum amount of muck? This can’t be happening to me!

Sonia: Ah! Life is so peaceful! Thanks God I turned down the PM’s post in 2004! Now I have all the power and none of the responsibility and headaches!

Rahul: Mera kya hoga re Mamma!

Elsewhere…

First Politician: How come you respect Manmohan so much nowadays? You used to oppose him non-stop when he became PM in 2004?

Second Politician: Then he had absolutely no political experience.

First Politician: So now just 6-7 years in power is enough, eh?

Second Politician: Of course! Look at his portfolio now! 2G, CWG, Adarsh, IPL, black money, votes for cash, WikiLeaks… the list is endless… now he has more political experience than even Jawaharlal Nehru or Indira Gandhi!
