This is History (940)

"What is work and what is not work are questions that perplex the wisest of men."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In Gujarat, name dropping ?

People who visit Gujarat say that every second man drops the name of Narendra Modi and Amit Shah. In contrast, no body drops their name in the national capital.

 

 

 

 

 

Sochco Aunty

By the wonder of imagination I am able to interview Madam.

Venue: New York Cafe

Fare: Double Shot Espressos and Chocolate Cookies

VJS : Within a few days your Sonny Boy has made even his ardent fans feel that he's unfit to be in Politics...

Madam: Now what did my Bambino do???

VJS: For starters he made visiting Vajpayee into a childish race ... and is boasting... me first... me first....

M: Its all my and his Daadi's fault... we used to cheer him to eat his meals or drink milk first and we used to pretend we are competing with him...the habit stuck on...on Sundays for Family Meetings he always announces... I came first....much to our irritation...

VJS: Then he said that Coke was invented by a Shikanji seller and McDonald's started off as a Dhaba..

M: He over simplifies.... what he wanted to say was Coke was invented by someone who made beverages... and McDonald's started as a simple fastfood joint....

VJS: Hope he over simplifies  the objective of power for Congress...Congis would be up in arms.....Modi posted a video about his exercise regimin in a Twitter thread started by Virat Kolhi... and Modi tagged a few...including Kumarswamy...at the Iftar Party your Son was heard saying this tweet by Modi was bizarre..

M: The problem here is my Bambino is feeling left out.... Virat or others in the chain could have tagged my Bambino too....he's  now the President of a Party..  he has the stature.....I know how he feels and thinks...

VJS: Not many accept his stature... not even your old and new Allies.... just see the poor turnout at your son's Iftar....Pawar... Didi... Maya....Aki etc., were personally invited but none turned up..

M:  Pawar was ill.... Didi had some urgent work.... Aki was busy shifting...Maya did not come because she got wind that her Bhanja was not going...

VJS: Polite declines....

M: But see the attendance...2 ex Presidents...1 ex PM....

VJS: Minions who could not decline... other than them there was no one politically credible at the High Table...including your Bambino..

M: But they all had a damn good time...

VJS: I hear behind his back there were quite a few sniggers..  and wink-wink with thumbs down ..

 

M: Jealous of his rise..

 

VJS: What rise.... his was lateral entry.... he looked nervous...jittery......

 

M: Sight if too much food makes him jittery.... gets him worried about the hungry in India.... dill ka bahut achchaa hai merra Munna!!

 

 

 

VJS: Not what you get to see in candid camers pics of his.....Madam aap uss ke liye bahut achcha cover up karti ho...

 

 

 

M: See he's a late blossomer... started speaking when he was 4 ...but when he did...my God he would recite Poems... same for writing.... started late.... but when he did he used to write essays...

 

VJS: So you mean to say when he blossoms as a Leader he'll be like....

 

M: Like....like.... Modi...

 

VJS: But when we have the original why a duplicate....

 

M: Just a metaphoric way of saying how he should blossom as a Leader..

 

VJS: But you could  have said he'll blossom like his Father...Rao.... MMS....why Modi!!

 

S: Truth is ..... and I will deny this outright if you quote this one.... even if he blossoms 5% like Modi....I would feel he's arrived with a bang on the Political scene...

 

M: Ma'am you'd be satisfied if he turns out 5% like Modi.... and you expect us to get dissatisfied with 100% Modi....kuchch toh sochcho Aunty....

Modi Down But Not Out
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s popularity is going down with each passing day, they say. “Modi as PM has not been able to fulfill the aspirations of people and, thus, he should go”. But then Who is the PM material in the country ?
 
whispersinthecorridors.com asked its surfers - Is there a substitute for PM Narendra Modi in BJP or any other political party ? If so, who ? – and the majority said that the country is, at present, short of having a person of the stature of Modi.

DEBATE

Who has been the most succesfull bureaucrat turned politician ?

Eyeing politics as a vibrant medium of serving the nation, several civil servants have in the past several years identified politics as more suitable career to serve the people. Given the fact that they found the political system much comfortable and active in order to bring about the desired change, it however remains to be seen that who among the bureaucrats (who turned politicians) have been most succesfull both in the state and at the Centre.
