India’s glorious Bharat Ratna…

If you become the first person in the history of the world to climb Mount Everest, you get India’s third highest award, the Padma Bhushan.
(Tenzing Norgay)

If you lead your army to the most decisive war in your country’s history and liberate a brand new country, you get India’s second highest award, the Padma Vibhushan.
(Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw)

Wow, that means all the people who won India’s highest award, the Bharat Ratna, must be the greatest people who ever walked this Earth!

Sinking Nehru-Gandhi dynasty musings…

Pappugiri: Frivolous part-time politics which has more sound than substance.
Soniagiri: Claiming great power with zero responsibility.
Manmohangiri: Maungiri.

Just one man’s voice heard in Parliament: Pappu.
Congressman: True, unlike our party, where just one woman’s voice is heard.

President for a whopping 16 years and goodness knows for how much longer.
They should just rename it to Congress (Sonia).

The Pappu model…
Give speech.
Go on leave.
Give interview.
Go on leave.
Attend meeting.
Go on leave.
Tear up paper.
Go on leave.
Talk empowerment.
Go on leave.
Shout in Lok Sabha…

Sinking Congressi musings…

Probably the only major Congress shake-up that Sonia wants to do is to make Pappu Senior Vice President and Pappini Junior Vice President.

Pappu: Should I put more fire into my political ambitions?
A: No, you should put your political ambitions in the fire!
#NatwarSingh #FireInTheBelly

1951.
1962.
1971.
1980.
1991.
2004.
Winning streak broken in 2014.

After 16 years as Congress President, Sonia has delivered 44 seats.
If the Congress doesn’t get its act together, after 21 years she will have 21 seats.

Congress picks dead leader in poll panel.
What else can you expect from a dead party?

2004: Pappu prevents Sonia from becoming PM.
2009: Manmohan wins 2009.
Analysis: Pappu through his foresight won 2009 in 2004.

PMO files never sent to Sonia: Manmohan.
P.S. This answer was sent in a file to her and she okayed it.

2009: (Manmohan) Singh is King.
#OneTermIsNotEnough
2014: (Natwar) Singh is King.
#OneLifeIsNotEnough

Who go the peace prize hey baba!
On peace how he did talk!
But he couldn’t walk the talk,
Palestine, Af-Pak, ISIS, Syria, Iraq…—What a world panorama!

While campaigning there was a coverage OD,
But when he became PM,
He changed his stratagem,
And now TV channels are facing cold turkey.

He attacked the Queen Bee,
And little Pappu—yes even he,
And all the Congressmen are going grrrrrr!!!!!
