Total time pass of a vella Indian cricket fan…

How the Indian cricket team celebrated Independence Day…

The 11 batsmen scored the following amount of runs…
18-0-4-6-0-82-5-13-5-1-7.

If you rearrange the above numbers, then you get…
15-08-2014. 68. 1,3,5,7…..

15-08-2014 stands for 15th August 2014, the Independence Day on which they scored these runs.

68 stands for India’s 68th Independence Day.

The progressive sequence 1,3,5,7… stands for the resolve on this day to keep doing better from now on.

Independence Day Battle of Speeches: Modi vs MMS

Modi doesn’t know what he’s saying before a speech.
(Because it’s extempore.)
Manmohan also doesn’t know what he’s saying before a speech.
(Because someone else has written it and he’s given it at the last moment.)

Modi has earned the right to be called Shadow Prime Minister.
Today the Prime Minister was in Modi’s Shadow.

Ask not what the country can do for you, ask not what you can do for the country, ask nothing, say nothing.
—Manmohan Singh
‪#‎TheekHai‬

Congressman: Sigh! No Independence from Modi even on Independence Day!

Q: Sir what did you think of India’s Independence Day speech.
Manmohan Singh: Theek tha, but he shouldn’t have attacked me so much!
‪#‎TheekHai‬

The problem with watching Manmohan Singh’s speech is that I funnily get the feeling that any time now he’s going to burst into tears.

This is the first time in our history that Prime Minister’s Independence Day Speech was overshadowed in hours.
People even listened to Deve Gowda’s Hindi speech with attention.

Remember the good ole school debating days.
First candidate comes, speaks diffidently, second takes his content and rips it apart.

Why is this being touted as Manmohan’s last I-Day speech?
What if he emerges as a consensus candidate in a badly hung Parliament in 2014?

Independence Day correspondence…

Dear Government,
May I go on an indefinite fast in a public place to destablise your government?
Warm regards,
Anna

Dear Anna,
Of course you may not! Get out in three days.
Warm regards,
Police

Dear Manmohan,
Why are you silent? The police is giving me permission only for three days!
Warm regards,
Anna

Dear Anna,
What is this? A police state? Don’t bother me. Go ask the police!
Warm regards,
Manmohan

Dear Pratibha,
With BSY gone I am totally bored and have nothing to do and no one to write to. Kindly advise.
Warm regards,
Hansraj

Dear Hansraj,
I have just one word to say to you.
Sadanand.
Now get back to work!
Warm regards,
Pratibha

Dear Manmohan,
Chidambaram is getting on my nerves.
Warm regards,
Narendra

Dear Narendra,
As of now every UPA minister and spokesperson is getting on everyone’s nerves. What do you expect me to do? Just keep quiet like me and all your problems will vanish. Stop wasting your time with all these silly letters all of you!
Warm regards,
Manmohan

Dear Government,
I must say that you are really corrupt and dictatorial!
Warm regards,
Anna

Dear Anna,
Same to you! You are also corrupt and dictatorial.
Warm regards,
Government
P.S. Happy Independence Day! Please go and eat some yummy shrikhand puri on that day and after that just go to sleep, you old Marathi manoos!
