Will Afridi really retire one day?

One day many years back Afridi said he was retiring…

…since then the iPhone was invented, Musharraf retired, Bhutto was assassinated, a Saudi King died, Bush retired, Kim Jong-il died, Osama was captured, the Arab Spring happened, Mangalyaan was announced and became successful, Modi went from pariah to PM…

…and Afridi is still “retiring”.

The fall…
Nitish + Laloo + Mulayam + Gowda + Chautala = Just the 8th largest party in the Lok Sabha.
‪#‎JanataParivar‬

Poor sweet innocent MMS—Misled by Raja over 2G, Sibal over 66A, Kalmadi over CWG, Antony over Scorpene/Tatra, himself over Coalgate, IB over many things and by Sonia over everything else.

On Twitter, many spoof handles seem far more logical, convincing, witty and effective than the original handles.

The Pappu relaunch game is back again…

Pappu is like an old Windows computer which keeps hanging.
After every restart he is falsely presented as the latest OS.

Pappu lives in Lalaland and sometimes visits…
1. India.
2. Lok Sabha.
3. Amethi.
4. Some random hut.
5. Some railway bogie.

1848 Idea of Marx
= 1947 Idea of Nehru
= 2004 Idea of Sonia
= 2015 Idea of Pappu
= 20__ Idea of next dynast.
(P.S. Kejri—Mera bhi idea!)

Pappu questions Make in India.
India questions Make (all our Congressi dreams) in Pappu.

Insanity—Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Congress—Doing the same Pappu relaunch over and over again and expecting different results.

Pappu: A proletarian revolution will happen and the farmers will overthrow the bourgeoisie.
Farmer: But sir, you are the bourgeoisie!
