Most Indians starting blasting Manmohan some 7 years after he took over as Prime Minister.
Many didn’t give Modi even 7 days.

South Africa played a great knock of 159 off 111 to become ICC No. 1.
(Not 159 runs off 111 balls in an ODI.
But 159 runs off 111 overs to draw a Test.)

At the stroke of midnight on August 14, 1947, all Pakistanis had been born in India.
Aur agar apne hi Janmabhoomi ko gaali dete rahoge to yahi haal hoga desh ka.

When a man who married an Italian can become Prime Minister without ever contesting an election, why can’t a woman who married a Pakistani be a Brand Ambassador? Too much fuss.

Thousands of miserable fan photos are still circulating millions of times.

Just 1% praising Germany.

BJP government musings…

Take out the Dynasty from the Congress.
Take out Modi from the BJP.
And you’re suddenly left with two eerily similar parties.

You can take the BJP out of the Opposition,
But you can’t take the Opposition out of the BJP.
#TVDebates

If the BJP boycotted TV debates, then their TRP ratings would go down, but the BJP wouldn’t lose any seats in Parliament.
Seems they think it’s the other way round.

The problem with Twitter is that thanks to their content, you can no longer differentiate between real accounts and spoof accounts.
(Especially for India.)

BJP and Shiv Sena should contest exactly 144 Assembly seats each in Maharashtra elections.
Whoever gets more seats gets the CM’s post. Simple.

It seems…
Media houses being taken over by politicians are by and large OK while those taken over by big businessmen are a threat to free speech.

Pappu was Leader of Opposition to Manmohan Singh.
Kejri was Leader of Opposition to Narendra Modi.
Post-May 16…

Musings on the whole education debate…

The biggest role of formal education today is to get a job.
If you really want to change the world, then it’s totally irrelevant.

You have educated idiots.
You have uneducated idiots.
You have educated greats.
You have uneducated greats.
Focus on the individual not his/her education.

Would Mani say…
How can a poorly educated person (Maken) comment on an even more poorly educated person (Smriti)?
#ChaiwallahKaSequel

Congress to BJP…
Hamaare 12th class pass hamaare hai, pyaare hai,
Tumhaare 12th class pass zindagi se hare hai.
#SmritiIrani

You need education to be a doctor, engineer, lawyer, rocket scientist…
You don’t need education to be a successful businessman or a leader.

Simple definitions…
Illiterate: Can’t read or write.
Educated: Went to school or college.
Uneducated: Didn’t go to school.
12th Pass: Educated, just didn’t go to college.
Dictionary definition of education…
The act or process of imparting or acquiring general knowledge, developing the powers of reasoning and judgment, and generally of preparing oneself or others intellectually for mature life.
Note: This particular definition of education has absolutely nothing to do with school, college or degrees of any kind.

The Manmohan Cabinet had many Oxbridge-Harvard Ministers.
The Modi Cabinet has many who never went to college.
Let’s see who performs better.
