Shashi the brave man

Shashi ko kuch nahi bolna. Woh hamara sab ka man ki baat keh dia hai. Aarey baba jinhe air-condition ka aadat ho woh ordinary-condition mein nehi reh sakta.

Magic of austerity

If austerity comes into effect in all government spheres, politics will cease to be a happy hunting ground for many politicians. In other words, austerity in politics in the long run will reduce the power hungry-population to be replaced by service-hungry ones.

Be brave Advaniji

The Jaswant-BJP-Advani-Kandahar issue has just become a political game with little national interest. Seldom it will have any impact on recession or price rise or drought condition, nor it will help country see 9% growth.
Then why so much noise? Reason is just a game of pull and push to gain political mileage.
From a layman’s view, whatever was done during the Kandahar plane hijack episode by the NDA government was absolutely right. It, at least, saved the lives of 160 people aboard in lieu of three dreaded terrorists.
Imagine, had the otherwise happened! Indian government disagreed to release three terrorists. And hijackers’ barbaric act against the hostages.
So, considering the gravity of the situation, were the steps taken by the then NDA government to swap the terrorists with hostages wrong?
If not, then why does Advani feel shy of admitting the truth? Mission Kandahar may not be glorious, but not a bad one. On the whole, it was successful. After all, we saved 160 families from suffering agony of losing their kith and kin.

Let ministers live in 5-star!

Mantri hua to kya hua? Let them stay in 5-star. Let them understand the grievances of the rich. After all, govt is for all. Only poor should not be privileged lot!
