Sach Ka Saamna faces the moment of truth!

In a bizarre incident, the government has sent a show cause notice to a TV channel for airing a show called Sach ka Saamna!.

This caused it -
The SP’s Kamal Akhtar raised the matter in the Rajya Sabha today, saying contestants were being asked “obscene questions” about their personal lives in front of their family members. The show was against “Indian culture”, he said, and cited an instance where a woman was asked in the presence of her husband whether she had thought of committing adultery. The woman replied in the negative, but the polygraph test showed she was not speaking the truth, Akhtar said.

Obscene???? Against Indian Culture???? And Samajwadi Party SP???
Someone pass me some Oxygen please...

If the questions asked are obscene and against the so called Indian culture, shouldn’t we first demolish the Khajuraho and all other temples which are completely in-your-face against the so called “Indian culture” and instead put up Mayawati (solo and decent) statues there?

If you dont like a show, change the channel, man!

Just when you think that the Indian politicians have hit the pits, they come up with a beauty like this...

Makes me wonder if they will ever face the moments of truth in their lives!!!

VVIPs and the Law of the land!

The media (ToI) tells us this:

Following VVIPs/VIPs and spouse are exempted from pre-embarkation security checks at all civil airports:
President Vice President Prime Minister Governors Former Presidents Former VPs CJI LS Speaker Union ministers of cabinet rank CMs & Deputy CMs Deputy Chairman, Planning commission Leader of opposition in LS & RS Bharat Ratna awardees Ambassadors of foreign countries, Charge d’ Affairs; high commissioners and their spouses Judges of SC CEC CAG of India Deputy chairman RS & Dy Speaker of LS Union ministers of state Attorney General of India Cabinet secretary Lt Governors of Union Territories Chiefs of staffs holding the rank of full General or equivalent CJs of High Courts CMs & Dy CMs of Union Territories Visiting foreign dignitaries of a certain status Dalai Lama SPG protectees, Robert Vadra

Do read the last name in the above paragraph and rub your eyes again to check what name you just saw!

OK, while Robert Vadra’s name surely is a WTF entry in this list as are the spouses of all those in the list, I wonder why should anyone be in such a list in the first place!

The security is paramount in this country and law of the land should be same for one and all. All.

Long Live Mayawati! I mean Megawati!

I think that Behenji Mayawati must be the only leader elected democratically who is installing her own larger than life statues in her state! And as even the Supreme Court refuses to stop her, she is truly unstoppable. The likes of Thakereys, Lalus, Jayalalithas and Sonias in all their glorious years have nowhere managed to do anything like this before. Shame on you, guys. Way to go, Mayawati.

In fact, I also have the following suggestions:
1) You also remove existing statues of un-important people like Gandhiji etc and install your own huge ones (I mean statues) there.
2) Why not also introduce an entire chapter in the history books of school children dedicated to you?
3) Name the institutions, roads etc only after you. Distinguishers can be Behenji Mayawati Road #1, Road # 2...Road no. 6777329 etc. This will not only allow your name to be echoed all throughout the state, you can also undertake to prepare mega roads for Dalits and other downtrodden communities in order to show your social cause (I am not even mentioning the humongous chance of super-corruption for you therein) and in turn get them named after you.
4) OK, they talk about you, they read about you and also they see you all around. Good. What else can we do? ummm...Yes, get mega projects like Taj Corridor etc and name them after you. But that is only repeating the above point...
5) OK, how about the TV sets in all UP houses showing only your image one corner of the TV with other useless stuff in remaining portion? Rather, they should show the useless stuff in one corner and the rest of the portion should be hogged by you.
6) Also, in the next tenure, lets talk about converting all your statues into Gold - that will be grand, eh?

I guess I should stop now.
Long live Mayawati, er...Megawati!!!

A question for Baba Ramdev

Dear Baba Ramdev,

I seem to smile too much in my life. Will you be able to cure this disease as well?

Yours sincerely,
