The true colours of politics

Orissa's Chief Minister and BJD chief Naveen Patnaik had this to say about whether he would support Sharad Pawar as PM - "We can certainly look with great clarity into that possibility"!!

Well, if your head is still spinning trying to decode that, its absolutely no use. Because that my friends, is the current state of political climate in this country.

Jai ho! ... and the Pussycat Dolls.

I just heard the new version of Jai Ho! A wonderful collaboration between A R Rahman and the Pussycat Dolls. And it definitely is a reflection of the interest the world has in India, its movies, music, and people.

Though I wonder who wrote the lyrics. It seemed like they just put in random words to fill in the blanks!!!

Sometimes I feel that we try too hard to achieve something that should never have been in the first place because the original itself is such a master piece not worth touching.

Lets make a difference

Why is it that when we go out to buy something, we make a conscious effort to compare choice, prices, features, etc before making our decision. Isn't voting our representatives our biggest buying decision.

Let us pledge not to vote for corrupt candidates with criminal backgrounds. To know more about the candidates standing for election from your constituency, sms 'MYNETA<space> ______ (your pincode)' to 56070. And then make your choice.

Sign of the times...

I crossed this sign on my way home.

I'm sure Ratan Tata would never have imagined that Satyam would be his first competitor to the Nano.

As for the recession, well I guess its effects have reached far and wide.

I'm still alive...

Many (and here I am wishing that there are actually more than 'many' who read my blog) of you might be wondering where I've disappeared.

While I have a long list of topics, I just haven't had the time to actually sit down and write. Which is a good thing I think, what with the recession and all !!

So please bear with me for a few more days and I promise I'll be back soon. Until then, would appreciate a few comments and reactions to my previous posts.
