Baat Jo Palte (BJP)

The above definition fits best for BJP after their announcement that they would oppose the expulsion of tainted MP'S. There was a time when BJP brought about an order asking the expulsion of tainted MP's( of non-BJP parties) from the parliament . They staged a walk out , boycotted the parliament session. Our prime-minister and few other sensible people of the house ( these should be placed as highly endangered on the verge of extinction species) requested to resume session so that important bills could be discussed.
But they did not move from their stand, again it was the junta, aam -admi who bore the expenditure of these not in session sessions. As the figures state, the cost of running Parliament is Rs11,22,829 per hour. Normally, the two houses sit for six hours a day. So multiply and you get a huge sum, that is irrelevant to the MP's because they have seen and have more of not so hard earned money.
Now when caught on the "sting" operations "duryodhana" and "chakravyuh" the BJP says it will oppose expulsion of MP's. A wonderful situation a pary decides whether to support/oppose a bill simply on the basis of the benefits it will derive from it. And leaves the cost for the taxpayers to bear.
BJP might have this in mind that the ruling party did not follow when asked to. So why should they! But by following the same you too arent doing any better. Had you set an example by publicaly supporting expulsion not only from the parliament but also from the party. Had you introduced a bill to impose a life term ban on them (and any person caught in future) from holding any govt. post (pvt. sector wont take them so needn't worry about that) . They would have managed to keep up the support of the so called educated and literate class. This was an oppurtunity just as big as Mrs. Sonia Gandhi had when she relinquished power of the highest order in India. She directly set an example that she was not hungry for power ( which most say but forget as they get it). That led people to have faith in her , admire her for her deed and gave the aam -admi a hope that the country had made a good decision.
Similary, this was the time for BJP to set the same example of being a clean party, wash off all sins (people usually dont remember) for future elections, because this act would always become an alibi that they dont forgive corrupt people, so they dont have them too. Arre aur kuch nahin to inki bali de kar party ko to bacha lete,ab to gayi buffalo paani vich!!!
A cliche saying fits here "Oppurtunity knocks the doors once" and you let it go(very rare in politics).
On the other side, just to have a look at what have they got by supporting these " corrupt, maha -papi's, who will never change (once you have seen big money, you can't) , who formed the majority of those stung b/w their legs. It has got a makeover, that it is a party that supports corrupt , good for nothing people.
You think we cannot understand this game of numbers, dear we can, had you had one or two you would have done the same. Supported expulsion because that would not make much of a difference in you vote bank ( all those caught were baccha constituency elected). But when it exceeds a certain limit you can not , that will directly affect the votes cast in support of BJP.
See the so called jahil , ganwar junta can make out it is all a game of NUMBERS-- whether its money or votes. The more the merrier.

India shining !!! legalised.

Not long back when BJP was in power and their term was about to finish they started the INDIA SHINING campaign to publicise their achievements of the years they had been in power.
The Congress then in opposition won the elections, in which one of their areas of target, to mar BJP image, was this movement. The congress said the BJP govt. was using tax payers money unfairly for their benefit to come to power.
Now the question is how is the passing of the bill that, funds for election campaigns will be allocated by state and central govt, is any different from "INDIA SHINING". The money that they are talking about is the same hard earned and unwillingly paid money that was for India shining movement.
I am sure the bill would pass because that is in the benefit of all members of the parliament, "Legal money to spend, play with apart from what they have always got. So the gist is extra money thru legal channels". So here they are doing nothing but making themselves richer, by taking the tax payers money, that should have been invested for public benefits. Using this to fund their campaigns.
There is another point too, this money ,mostly paid by the upper middle and upper class segments of the Indian society, is invested (from the point of the govt.) in posters, pehlwans, the Desi indian liquor, bribes, booth capturing, arms and the usual buying of MP's (also cow and buffaloes in the case of Laloo prasad Yadav). See what a lovely strategic investment plan for the overall development of the nation , where a financial Guru like Mr. Manmohan Singh is leader of this nation.
KUDOS .....
I think i am not Intelligent enough to suggest a Good solution but can atleast point the flaw as I see it. So guys think over this again.

Oh! my turn to Speak !!!!

The front page of Indian Express is covered with the presidents and others( so called eminent people of India) statements as to what they mean by India empowered. A daily column initiated by the Indian Express with the Tata group. The column was going well as they wanted to put forth views of people who really mattered, as in their views of empowerement. The personalities present there from diverse fields sports, corporates, media & entertainment and as always the "sarkari lot of MP's ( i dont know why but "Maha Papis" is the apt expansion of this), few good peoples parents and relatives ( because the good ,honest people have succumbed to the sarkari power) and of course not to mention Amar singh. I have to mention this man apart from others because there is no such gathering where he is not present so it is difficult to put him in a exclusive lot.
These people gathered to discuss what India empowered meant to them. That is what they have always wanted " presence of jouranlist, mikes and a chance to SPEAK" nonsense, crap, hypocritical, and what not but the only thing that matters is they should have the right to practise their freedom of speech.
I dont remember much what they had to say because they speak the same, wherever they may be , irrespective of the kind of gathering, or the place they are allowed to do so. But there was one Mr. Yerchury ( i hope i have spelt it right) he says " I am happy to see the debates still going on that were present when I was young" . Now here is what makes him happy... that India is still struggling with the issues that were there 45-50 yrs back( if i have guessed the age right), the fact it it makes him happy that he and others like him have not done anything and the debate is still going on. Then there are others who talk of Science , technology growth most of them not qualified even to understand what they are talking of,( just picked up terms here and there because they saw that is what people clap at). Few great men still sticking to " Roti , kapda or Makan" when the government in power has people who cannot resist eating away fodder how
do you expect the above to be fulfilled. I and others can go on and on, on this .
But I would like to draw attention to the fact that had Indian Express , instead of inviting people who themselves are the biggest barriers to empowerement , and spending on their welcome and other services so lavishly. Had it adopted some rural school and spent the same amount on the children and providing them facilities . All that all have said would actully be put into action. These dudes came, ate free meals, SPOKE crap, gave a few poses for morning newspapers and went back and slept, to start the day as they have always.
Had the initiative been from IE i am sure it would be a totally different scenario
" Indian will be Empowered"

HI !!!!

"hi" now a days thats the most common greeeting , because it's short, thats what ppl want (not all the things) . its one of those hep things associated with the cool dude and the "in" generation .., only rarely you would see the in gen. using it with the so called oldies.

Still we have the usual namaste , pairi paina, dhok, and the more religious making it a point to always shout "jai ram ji ki" as if addressing not a person but the god himself.

these greeting might appear trivial not very reflective of something , because thats a routine thing..
but if you really see that put forwards a lot to know
firstly the religion , sasriyakal , as-salam-valekum etc..
then the persons region dhok , specific to raj, pairi-paina to punjab, "hi" of all metroplitans, "bhal ase" of the eastern region etc...
and definitely the kind of warmth the kind of relation the person shares with the addressee...
just give a thought to it words cant express this how...
