To-morrow and to-morrow and to-morrow…

I am inclined to recall the rousing speech (televised live by Doordarshan) by late PM Nasimha Rao during a crucial vote on a no-confidence motion and it did appear, then, that the government could fall; he ended the rousing speech with a statement that had me puzzled: “Ita na bhuliye, maine aap sab ko crorepati banaya hai”.
It was only later it dawned on me that he had given at that time a “discretionary” budget of Rs 1 crore to each MP for “development” of their constituency. I am so pleased to note the MPs and now MLAs too, have imbibed the true spirit of the development mantra and are beginning with their own households. How better can one begin?

WHY UP MLA DO NOT MOVE IN MARUTI 800 BEST AND CHEAP CAR IN WORLD , THEY ONLY WANTS TO SEE THE DEVELOPMENT , WHICH WE ALL KNOW , HOW MUCH % IT WILL IN LAST 60 % .
JAY HO

Every elected member declares his asset, whether he has car or not.

In case they dont have car, let them buy Comfortable Jeeps on Loan from Govt at 1% interest from his own salary, he can take his jeep anywhere but govt will pay only for diesel for this much per month as allowance.

When he/she already has a car declared in his affidavit of election, the govt will pay him the standard depreciation as per Income Tax law at the end of his tenure + Allowance for diesel.

Why to give them car , boss ? It will affect their self -respect.. !

I woke up early this morning. At 3am. Couldn’t sleep so I turned to my iPad for comfort. Tried to watch some shows, but, fortuitously enough, none of the links were working. So I decided to read one of the iBooks in my collection. Great Expectations.
That poor wretched boy, born into that wretched life, so confused, so scared and so hungry all the time… that poor prisoner who escaped into the freezing cold, with chains on his legs and dressed in rags with nothing to keep him warm, no food nor drink…
When it turned light, I looked outside to a beautiful wintry morning sky, able to appreciate its beauty cos I was warm, inside an insulated house, cocooned in a blanket and a cup of hot tea in my hand. Counting my blessings came easy today.

Hope you feel better.

I am becoming this person who is not affected with murder, rapes, kidnappings etc. We wait for murders to our page 1 now, so yes, journalism makes you cynical (and emotionless). As for Indian men, they have some serious anger management issues and they are the reason behind most of our page-ones. The big-bloated ego’s are good-for-nothing.

I sum how wonder, am I doing any good by editing all this **** each day or just getting more cynical each day?

well said …..

Well said – Indian leaders and leadership is full of BS – nothing moves em. If India wants to be respected as a Leader it needs to take care of its own dirty laundry. Take lesson from israel and US – clinical attacks are the way forward, provided leaders understand the word “Clinical”

And what when you turn a blind eye toward activities Jihadists aka Pakis? Gandhism will not stand up against rabid dogs. The only solution is to cull them …all

[Reply]

Love for your eye will leave you blind and the other guy with sight. Sounds fun? Take your Gandhian logic somewhere else. Won’t apply these days.

[Reply]

It is the task of the Government to respond. And if you have a Government, consisting of lawyers and politicians with unpatriotic attitude, ridden with Himalayan corruption led by not an original person from the land who would have some nationalistic feelings, this is to be expected. It is a tragedy that such a Govt is ruling for 10 years with the help of corrupt people and parties coming to power by hook or by crook. Still there are parties like SP who believes that organizations like SIMI is not a bad organization. When we have half of the voters BPL, what can a democracy do in this land.

Unless there is regeneration of the nation through intense education including moral and ethical according to the teachings and message of Swami Vivekananda, there is not very much of of a quick improvement of the present situation.

[Reply]

Bull Shit. Tell this to the Americans and Israelis. They will tell you how they got Osama to the hell where he belongs. That is the only language these animals will understand. Grow up you are dealing with barbarians who deserve no mercy.

[Reply]

Not only USA, even China and Israel silently knock off high value enemies in other countries that attack their countries. Chanakya neeti also favours such covert operations; but present day Indian leaders are so timid.

[Reply]

if only some follow what ever you say, then it is the non-violent who would go blind while the rogues will rule the world.

Vir, covert action against who? Pakistan military? Isn’t that a war?

[Reply]

whenever thereis a fight between 2 children in the class they may beat each other, but they will never go ask their parent’s permission for retaliation this is
simple ,let our goverment not complicate matters when pakistan has dared to
kill our fouji naujawan , we shall not keep quite no waiting,,let’s not think of consquence,it is this conquence that is creating fear in our leader’s mind not
prompting for action, enough is enough Pakistan should be taught a bloody
lesson of their life.

corrupt, discredited journos taking the easiest path to redeem themselves, “patriotism”, demonizing a fictional ‘enemy’ and war mongering!

How bout India send its own drones over the border, drop some ordinance and keep quiet about it…. They’ll think its American drones and not bother….

ONLY FULL SCALE WAR CAN ENSURE LONG TERM PEACE.EUROPE HAS NOT GONE ON WAR SINCE 1945.DONOT ALLOW INDIANS TO BE HUMILIATED BY KAYANIS OR HAFIJS ETC.HOW MANY HEADS MUST BE CUT BEFORE INDIAN GOVT REALIZES THEY ARE OUR BOYS.HOW JUMPY WAS SALMAN KHURSHID WHEN HIS WIFE WAS CHARGED WITH SOME CORRUPTION CHARGES BY KEJRIWAL.IT WAS ONLY A CORRUPTION CHARGE.

[Reply]

Wow and this is call a journalism. But will India. Govt. listen as they do not have a balls and when you have mafia and criminals in control of a country, the people will play a price. It’s a shame to be an Indian since indeed we have become a banana republic.

[Reply]

This is India and Indian.
Focus of the Month is India-Pak relation. Delhi incidence was last month’s episode and people have forgotten that and moved on.
Just wondering what would be the enext month’s food for thought.

[Reply]

The answer offered by many hawks on the Indian side – that we should impose sanctions on Pakistan – is counter-productive. If we stop people-to-people contacts, stop issuing visas, curtail the dialogue process, and reduce our engagement with the civilian establishment, it will make no difference to the Pakistani army. They have no respect for the politicians and the civilians anyway and they don’t give a damn what India does to them……………………..

So why is it counter-productive? We as Indians shouldn’t care of what **** millitary thinks, we should stop watching movies with **** singers/actors and stop watching cricket matches

India is run by sonia behanji, manmohan Pappu and other jokers
What action you can expect from them

[Reply]

I think Indian politicians including MEA do realize that covert operation is the call of the day, however, they just do not have the necessary resolve to act. We have been seeing this aggressive Pakistani stance since last 60 years, despite Bangladesh. Though once upon a time India did operate bravely and cut that nation into two, it seems so unreal now.
Vir Sangvi is absolutely right about our leadership. However, how we can get rid of these inactive and brainless lot that will be replaced by a more proactive ones is a million dollar question today.

[Reply]

One has never fully believed the fairy tale thàt India’s covert capabilities in Pakistan were degraded by I. K. Gujral in a fit of Punjabi large heartedness and that these have not been rebuilt and strengthened in light of so much that has happened in the world since then. Just yesterday a lot of bombs have gone off. If either the first or the second theories in the column is correct, General Kayani should pick up the phone and speak to his Indian counterpart and express regret, not for the killing, which is an act of war that both sides indulge in, but for the beheading, which shames and stains the uniform of a professional soldier.

[Reply]

Vir, the fatass, when did you get time to write something against the madam and her PM. Didn’t get your cut this month??

[Reply]

Who is winner and who is loser? Compare the two countries. India is rich and Pak is broke. One billion people’s outrage is a constant stressful pressure on entire Pak leadership. I strongly support India’s maturity in foreign policy. It shows tolerance, patience, humbleness and forgiveness.

Only Hari Singh Nalwa and Ranjit Singh can kick their a**…….these dhotiwalas have no balls……..Hari Singh conquered Kabul and Ranjit Singh had Lahore as his capital and Jagjit Singh Arora kicked their a** and created Bangladesh…….

O Gandhi Kay chalay……go and preach this to pakis…..

[Reply]

For a butcher class it makes no difference to behead a human or an animal. It took forever to hang 26/11 culprit. That is the state of our country and its politicians who are weak and are only concerned about their “ghotals” and political seat.What will it take for this impotent government to wake up

[Reply]

Best things is to hire someone in Pakistan to end the fugitives in Pakistan. there should be enough persons to do the job or money. It has to be an international tender. If America can do it why not we?

[Reply]

sadly, beheading as a form of adding insult to injury is not unprecedented in the Indo-Pak conflict. In fact old timers would remember the Gurkha regiment as the prime culprits in this regard. I met a Bengali Colonel Saheb who had received a Maha Veer Chakra after he beheaded a couple of Pakistanis. So, rather than lamenting he transgression of the Geneva treaty, we should condider who should be beheaded on their side. The Colonel of the Regiment of the Baloch regiment? The CO of the 29 Baloch battalion? His children? Those would all be valid targets. The only aim would be to inflict severe and unacceptable damage, to prevent recurrence of such an incident.
