I have often times heard wannabe politicians make lofty promises about turning the stinking metropolis of Mumbai into a Shanghai and a sleepy old Gurdaspur time and again, well the reality is for all to see, Mumbai is certainly a far cry from the promised Shanghai and Gurdaspur continues to remain as backward as ever, yet we continue to elect and re-elect these very same politicians time and again, one wonders whether we need to set our sense of priorities right and get our heads examined just before the onset of an election..........
Our sense of justice has to be seen in order to be believed, a certain Mumbai based political outfit firstly justifies the arrest of two hapless twenty year old's who posted innocuous queries on their facebook pages about the veracity of Mumbai being shut down on account of a octogenarian's funeral and then lionise the objectionable antics of a group of lumpen elements who go about vandalising the orthopaedic facility of one of the girl's uncles, political wisdom and it's espousal????????
The Mumbai police's paranoia and sense of misplaced justice certainly seems to have come to the fore if their recent actions are any yardstick to go by, they firstly arrest two young 21 year old's for posting seemingly innocuous posts on their facebook accounts and subsequently announce a DIG level enquiry into the actions of the concerned officials........
The hallowed soil of Punjab beckons with it's pristine waters of five rivers and intoxicating smells of the soil and it's hearty people, well I am off on a week long sojourn of my karmabhoomi, wish you could join me on this journey of discovery and self realisation...........
With various political parties and religious groups having assumed the role of super censors unto themselves and raising increasingly whimsical objections about any and every film slated to hit the theatres, one really wonders whether the government of the day should disband the present censor board and appoint these self styled "enlightened" souls in their place instead..........
Dhoni certainly needs to be put out to pasture because his raves and rants about rank turners have begun resembling that of a wailing banshee, it's good to be obsessed at the thought at avenging away defeats, or then should I say humiliations, but being obsessed to this extent does certainly raise doubts in one's mind about the said gentleman's sanity............
Shane Watson is all set to miss the second test in the ongoing home series against the Proteas on account of his failure to recover from an ankle injury, wonder what it is with this very same Mr.Watson and his remarkable propensity to break down just before the advent of any and every important home and away series.........
Just read a couple of facebook posts doubting the veracity of the Maharshtra government's version of events pertaining to Kasab's execution and citing Dengue related complications being the true reason behind his passing, well knowing the propensity of the present ruling dispensation to lying through it's teeth, only a rank fool would rule out the possibility of their basking in reflected glory..........
Ajmal Aamir Kasab's execution is being touted as a huge triumph in the continuing war against terror by the ruling political dispensation; well if hanging a foot soldier is indeed a huge triumph, why don't you lay your hands on Saeed Azhar, Tiger Memon and Dawood Ibrahim, thereby ending this war once and for all..........
24 hour English news channels have just put out the news about Pepsi Co. bagging the rights to be the title sponsors of the beleaguered IPL for the next five years; well Lalit Modi must certainly be shaking his head in consternation at their folly and having a hearty laugh at their obtuseness in this regard.........
Messrs Salman Khurshid, R.R. Patil and Prithviraj Chavan hail Ajmal Aamir Kasab's hanging as an epochal event and a reflection of their sincerity towards fighting the incessant war against terror; Whatever happened to a certain Afzal Guru, Bhullar and late prime minster Rajiv Gandhi's assassins???????
