The world suffers a lot. Not because of the violence of bad people, but because of the silence of good people!!.

How many leaders would be exposed ?

In the political and bureaucratic circles Pranab Mukherjee, Former President's book is a talking points these days. Many ask that how many old time leaders, especially of Congress party, will be exposed ?

Who is responsible for CBI failure ?

After Allahabad HC judgment about Arushi murder case, CBI’s reputation has gone down. If sources are to be believed, it was a senior officer who reportedly delayed the decision about filing of charge sheet in this case. Who constituted the second enquiry team ?

Is CBI credibility at stake ?

Has CBI lost its credibility? CBI's alleged failure in 2008 Arushi murder case has eroded agency's credibility very badly. Even some retired IPS officers are of the view that CBI has to work hard to prove its credibility. Will govt take some measures ?.

Turnaround .......when ....where

I'm still in Shimla and today I meet my Respected Friend...retired senior Bureaucrat...at a Tibetean Eatery ..located between the Mall and Lower Bazar...and over Soups and Momos we get chatting.

Me: RaGa's Twitter account all of a sudden has taken the humorous route...like  one tweet ... Modi needs to give Trump another hug and with the tweet is a Donald Trump tweet about developing a better relationship with Pakis.....and.... Mausam ka haal ...aaj ho gee Gujarat mein jumlo ke baarish...

Respected Friend: But then both jokes fall flat...Trump is talking about developing relations with Pakistan on his terms ....and in Gujarat ...Garibo Hatao .... We will not spare the Corrupt...are two of Congress's iconic Jumlas....jinn ki baarish every election mein hothi hai...

M: And Mausam ka haal not too good for Congress in Gujarat ...bijli girr sakthi hai ...and a few more Leaders leave Congress. Actually just a lot of hoopla about the election schedule ... while the term of the current assembly in Himachal Pradesh ends on 7 January, that of Gujarat ends on 22 January. So technically Gujarat elections can be announced 15 days after HP.

RF: And HP is a hill State that requires much more preparation than Gujarat. Plus Gujarat just faced floods and relief work now being completed ....

M: Congress did pretty well in the Gurdaspur bye-election...

RF: Yes ... BJP should introspect ...though here the loss is more because Akalis gave this election a walkover and BJP fought the election alone.....out of the 1.8 lac votes that BJP lost by..... 70000 were Akali Votes that went AWOL..

M: But now Congress is in 'turnaround claiming mode'... when RaGa returned from US it was billed as a turnaround for Congress...now Amrinder saying Gurdaspur win is a turnaround for Congress..

RF: Turnaround because RaGa did not canvass in Gurdaspur... and when he was in US... Congis did not have to face brickbats because of his foot in mouths .... so they felt as if they'd been freed..this made them euphoric...maybe in their own way ..hinting .. RaGa should stay out more and more...

M: Sidhu says he joined Congress because of RaGa's clean heart...

RF: He was all dressed up and had nowhere to go... Congress for him was a face saver... no one.. neither BJP....nor AD ...nor AAP were willing to take him in......too big a mouth !!!

M: Does Taj epitomize Indian Love ..

RF: No way ...it epitomizes the fickle love of a man and sheer cruelty in its making!! Its design too is not Indian... but Mughal.

M: Its a beautiful monument ...but there is nothing Indian about it ...except its location ...and sweat and blood of Indians... our money.....our money that Mughals plundered and the blood sucking taxes we paid... and our labor!!!

RF: No wonders Congress seems to be so besotted with it ....its a classical example of OPM... Other People's Money and Others Providing Manpower !!!!!

M: Reminded of a joke... a Congi standing in rain.. covering his head with a expensive looking Shawl ...while he has his cheap Hawai Chapals tucked in his armpit. Someone asked him... why are you getting an expensive shawl wet whereas you are protecting a cheap pair of chappals... the Congi said... Shawl Baap ka Chappal aap (mine) ka....that is how cavaliar they are with our money!

We have a good laugh.... pay the tab and move out.
