JP ruled from 1977-80. Then it disintegrated. JD ruled from 1989-91, 1996-98. The it disintegrated. BJP ruled from 1998-2004. Then it disintegrated??? The curse of the Second Party in India?
August 28
If anything, the BJP has suddenly won the battle of TRPs. For an outsider watching Indian TV, it’s as if the Congress just doesn’t exist…

India is finally ahead of Australia in both Test and ODI rankings. And yet we are not No. 1.
August 24
Kalyan was Mr UP. He was expelled. Uma was Firebrand No. 1. She was expelled. Govindacharya was the soul of the BJP. He was expelled. After Vajpayee retired, Advani instead of consolidating, got sidelined. In the BJP, it’s not lonely at the Top, the Top is from where you get kicked out.

In IPL 1 the only two teams that had non-Icon captains made it to the finals. In IPL2, two teams which stripped Icons of captaincy made it to the finals. In IPL 3…
August 24
Please observe a two-minute-silence. The Aussie team is finally dead. But do not mock them. They won 3 straight World Cups and dominated Tests like Tyrants for more than a decade. And there will be an upheaval and in a year we will see whether the new team will be stronger or weaker.
August 24
Goodbye Freddie! Thanks for the Test memories! See you in IPL3.

Let’s Face it, we are all Booked and addicted for Life, here on FaceBook…

Indra Nooyi kya kisiki zindagi badlegi? Ya to logo ko kam Pepsi pilayegi ya zyaada. She’s at No. 3. Sonia has rebuilt the Cong party given stability and has influence on policies that affect hundreds of millions of people. She’s at No. 13. These lists are utter rubbish.
August 21
Why are all flashbacks in movies shown in Black & White? In the olden days, was everyone colour blind?
August 21
Inside News: Jaswant wanted to retire and become a writer. The party by banning the book and expelling him, gave him a “controversial and flying start” to his career. Nothing sells like controversy.

August 18
Post-Kaminey, they are coming out with a new line of jokes called Fanta-Banta jokes.

Fast Food: Always take a combo meal. The burger has processed meat made from useless animal parts and high on preservatives. Fries are high on saturated fat (Cholestrol alert!). And Colas have very high sugar and caffiene. Body ka band bajana hain to acchi tarah se bajao.
August 18
When I see an irritating ad, I have 3 reactions: 1. The dude who made this ad is a retard or 2. This dude should be banned from admaking or 3. This dude should be hanged from the nearest lamp post. Anyone else feels that way? (Sincere apologies to my dear Facebook friends in the ad industry)
August 18
I am very Statusified with Facebook, unlike may other social networking sites.

If you want long leave from office: Pretend to be short of breath, hold your chest, look dizzy and confused, keep coughing and tell everyone you feel nauseous, all the while refusing to take leave.
August 12
Federer and Saina don’t get death threats. SL cricketers faced terrorists in an attack that could have been meant for the Indian team. If the Indian cricketers get jittery giving their location to WADA 365 days a year, then atleast they have a right to do so. We are all paranoid to some extent.
August 10
Heard: Kasab is going to act in a Bollywood movie… It will be titled Kabhi Ha, Kabhi Na

We learn of the concept of Death and its inevitability as children. We all know we will die one day. Millions of people die every day. And yet when we come face to face with even one Death, it totally Devastates us.
July 25
My life is so F********d! (I wanted to say that My life is so Facebooked, but that wouldn’t have the same effect, would it?)
July 25
In politics women are better than men. Rajiv had to be a PM to run the nation. Sonia is doing it without that post. If Mulayam is King of goondas, Maya is Empress. If Buddha is Left, Mamta is Left Ultra. If Karuna is dictatorial, what do you make of Jaya?

Kasab pleads not guilty and they cry foul. Kasab pleads guilty and they cry foul.

July 10
Dear Manmohan, Calling up Tata or seeking a Global Advisory Council won’t solve Air India’s problems. Uska kuch nahin ho sakta. That’s one PSU you’ll have to sell lock, stock and barrel. (That’ll help the fiscal defecit too to a bit)
July 10
Why are they using words like ‘Lover’ and ‘Suitor’ in the Sania stalking cases. Plain Stalker is enough. No need to find synonyms for words like Criminal, Convict, Murderer just for the sake of variety in headlines.
July 10
Whenever it rains heavily in Bangalore, trees fall. Considering it rains from April to November, I wonder how Bangalore is still so green!

If you’re not a Fed fan, then 2003-09 is actually the most boring period in Men’s tennis. Nothing beats the Lendl-Becker-McEnroe-Connors-Wilander-Edberg rivalry of the 1980s. We even had a lot of 1-time winners like Cash, Noah and Chang. There was glorious uncertainty. Then it was: Who will win??? Now it is: Will Fed win???

OK Mamata is Partisan and Populist and Political. But I like her efforts at complexes, shops, hotels, water, toilets, onboard infotainment… that will change my user experience greatly and not great looking grand schemes that can be presented at IIM seminars.
July 4
Whenever Dhoni looks tired, the BCCI should rest him, that’s the only way Team India will remain fresh

They want to ban cow slaughter. But man slaughter is fine if it suits their political objectives.

India and Pak want to Talk too much. They should just avoid each other and listen to the Sounds of Silence for a decade or so. The Wall will come down when it has to…

Thousands of years hence, when mankind will cease to exist, aliens will go through our ruins and find hundreds of statues of Maya. They will conclude that she was the greatest human to walk the Earth. And you think she has no foresight!

When you watch TV, it’s joy and bliss. When anyone else watches, it’s a Royal Headache.
June 14
The more Pak terror rises, the more funds it gets, which further fuels terror, which gets more funds… And only India gets rammed. In this aspect atleast Obama=Bush. So much for change!
June 13
In India, 5 million children die of malnutrition a year. 5 million are HIV+. 3 lakh die of TB. Swine Flu deaths: Zero. And yet Swine Flu is the only disease that gets maximum airtime in the TV channels. Interesting. Very interesting.

June 9
Australia’s T20 status will now be referred to as the Ashes.

$1.35 million for 1 month+1 week’s play. I can see Symonds’ point of view of not wanting to play for Aus. IPL is a fab Retirement Home for Aussie Cricketers

Archie has no choice but to marry the millionaire’s daughter during such a severe economic recession…
May 28
Archie marries Betty/Veronica. Everyone loves the issue, but after that the strip dies a slow death. Then Balaji Telefilms buys the rights and makes “Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bhau Thi in America” and gets back its TRP ratings, drawing the youth audience, the oldies and the NRIs. The love triangle continues post-marriage. Archie ko kabhi mukti nahin milegi!

Dear Mr Mittal, The only thing your customers need is more+better towers and a helpful+polite customer care. It’s been noticed that the more Airtel ‘Grows’, the more the network ‘Groans’.
