Update

I have not been commenting on current issues. Let me make up.........

Women's Reservation Bill introduced on the last day of the Parliament Session amidst chaos..............yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnnnnn..........this is an Ekta Kapoor mega serial episode that is enacted again and again at the end of the Government's term. Whom are our lawmakers trying to fool? They had the whole of last 5 years to pass this. This is nothing by an election gimmick.

Bhajji slapgate...........IPL conducted the enquiry in a couple of days and banned Harbhajan quickly. BCCI is in its typical fashion is taking its own sweet time to conduct the enquiry. And I thought the process followed was the same. Anyway, if reports are correct, things look bleak for Harbhajan, and rightly so.

Indo-US nuclear deal is virtually dead. Well, did it ever have a chance of succeeding when the Government refused to build a national consensus? Especially when the major ruling party is a minority in the Parliament. One should know one's strength before venturing out to attempt something.

Another Parliament session is over with hardly any meaningful work done. Every minute of the functioning (dysfunctioning) costs the exchequer Rs 26000. And most of the time is spent on boycotting, shouting and blocking proceedings. Remember it is your and my money that is being spent. Will any company allow its employees to get away scotfree if they are wasting Rs 26000 per minute?

At last one Governor tried to be different by switching off the lights to empathise with the power cut faced by the common man - Gopalakrishna Gandhi of Bengal. And promptly, the communist government is up in arms asking for the post of Governor to be scrapped. And I thought the communists were more close to the common man than any other party. Well things change.

US accuses Indians and Chinese of eating more that has led to the current food crisis. They have also put the blame on us for the spiralling oil prices. What did they expect us to do? Starve to death and remain in the bullock cart era? For years, they preached the virtue of growth, development , privatization, liberalization and globalization. Now when they feel the pinch, they blame all these things for the ills of the world. Damned if you do, damned it you don't!
