Bandh .. Again

Will somebody kindly enlighten me about the rationale behind bandhs, dharnas and general strikes as I have only seen these causing misery,hardships and an increasing burden on honest taxpayers like you and me on account of the damage rendered to public property.....
The daaruwallahs in every mohhala and galli seem to be laughing their way to the bank thanks to the Bharat bandh disrupting the normal and routine life's of hapless citizens like you and me.......

Myth !
Well,well,well the myth surrounding the much hyped 9% growth rate seems to be going bust once and for all what with the GDP growth rate going down to an abysmal 5.3% (the lowest ever growth rate over the last decade and more) and the annual growth rate for the year 2012 going down to an alarming 6.5% against a rather robust 7.8% in the year 2011 and pray what is our UPA leadership doing to arrest the slide; mouthing platitudes and expressing worry rather than initiating concrete measures to arrest this free fall.........

Mamata Banerjee must be today's equivalent to Houdini or then the greatest ever female magician of all time otherwise how did she ever manage to conjure up the magical figure of Rs.1.25 crore that she reportedly spent on the function held to felicitate the owners and team members of the IPL Kolkata Knight Riders team (champions for 2012) for a state struggling to pay off it's debt commitments and interest accrued on loans taken, conjuring up and spending this sum on a fruitless PR exercise is indeed nothing short of a modern day miracle......
