· Diggy Raja quotes fuel Twitter/FB jokes, humour sites, spoofs, parodies, cartoons and of course serious news in mainstream media.

· A day will come when Diggy Raja will finally say something that actually makes sense and the whole nation will go into shock.

· Online Trolls are absolutely pathetic.
But more pathetic are the Offline Trolls who call themselves Congress spokespersons.

· Roger Hollis: Biggest real-life double agent?
Professor Snape: Biggest in fiction?
Diggy Raja: Our biggest double agent?
(Ref: His bizarre statements weaken Congress, help BJP/RSS)

· My name is ______ and I’m an idiot.
The amount of Congress spokespersons who can put their name in the above sentence is not funny.

· #‎Bhonku‬ is a profound hashtag.
What about the voice’s “master”?
What about the people who feed it regularly?
Why do people love hearing it?

· CBI: Off to Ahmedabad on Ishrat case. Which song should I play on the way?
MMS: Dedicate it to Modi and play, “Tu Jahan Jahan chalega, mera saaya saath hoga…”

· After a blast in India, some condemn it, some condemn secularism, some condemn the Right, getting themselves condemned in the process… Then there’s the CBI condemning the IB…
Ghanta we all Indians are going to fight terrorism together like this.

· The interesting thing about the Modi debate is that with each setback or victory, both sides merely harden their stands.

· Gujarat Police (BJP) + IB (Congress) = Fake encounter!
Curiouser and curiouser.

· Congress hits sixer (Food Bill) over no ball (CBI-Ishrat).
Well played!
Food Bill = News. CBI chargesheet = Noise.
As usual, Noise trumps News.
NREGA saved UPA1. Food Bill may yet save UPA2!

· July 4 in US is their Independence Day.
July 4 in India will also be an Independence Day.
But for who?
Congress? BJP? CBI? IB?

· They should have annual elections in Egypt and all the ballot boxes should be placed in Tahrir Square.

· A Chief Justice taking charge of a country after a show of force?
Sounds a bit like Judge Dredd!

· Foreign springs lead to regime changes.
Indian springs lead to an immediate winter where the regime freezes all goodwill and tries to curb all freedoms.

· Protestor 1: How I love spring!
Protestor 2: But it’s always spring in Egypt!
Protestor 1: I know!

· The film on Wimbledon 2013 could well be called…
The Fall of the Titans.

· Santa Maria! It’s their Swan Tsonga as greats say Roger and out to a not so Serene Wimbledon that has just hit the Nadir. All loser, no Victor(ia).

· The Number (20)13, lucky for some, but not for others.

· (At this rate)
Wimbledon 2013 finals…
Guard: Sorry sir, but we can’t let you in. No practice today. It’s a match day.
Players: But we’re the finalists!

• Failed predictions…
1995: BJP will never come to power and complete a full term.
2003: Sonia is finished. NDA will get re-elected.
2008: Anti-incumbency will hit UPA.
Waiting…
2009: Congress will definitely win in 2014.
2013: Modi will never become PM.

∙ Whether you like it or not…
Coming soon in 2014: Modi 24X7, Modi Today, Aaj Modi, Modi Now, Modi India, The Times of Modi, Modi Express, The Modi Times, The Modi Express…

∙ Pre-1989: Entire mainstream media went after Congress and projected VP Singh as PM.
Pre-2014: Entire social media went after Congress and projected Narendra Modi as PM.
Times haven’t changed.
The media has.

∙ Blessed are those who are not part of this Anti-Modi vs Pro-Modi debate and are watching with amusement from the sidelines.
P.S. As for me, I can’t fathom when and why I got dragged into this black hole of a ping pong match.

∙ Go figure…
This is the most corrupt and arrogant government in the history of India.
<And>Sonia is the most powerful person in the country.
<But>Sonia is 0% responsible for this arrogance and corruption.

∙ Harry Potter universe…
He who must not be named.
Indian politics universe…
She who must not be named.

∙ Neighbourhood Aunty: Baby khud doodh nahin pee paayega, hame pilaana padega.
Sheila Aunty: Rahul khud PM nahin banega, hame banana padega.

∙ Whenever a tragedy strikes the Congress, there’s always a major revelation against a major opponent.
