Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's WAR!

Many of us are wondering why our Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is not talking tough even when every tom and dick from Pakistan is talking about war, last drop of blood etc etc. According to an article written by former journalist Aakar Patel our PM is good at waging war on our other enemies.

Other enemies?
YES! Like poverty, unemployment etc etc. He was successful many years ago when he fought that war on License Raj. India became free and a global citizen. Now his war is still on. The war on terror, generated from Pakistani soil has taken his precious time and energy while he's reaching the last leg of his tenure. But he knows that his WAR is not over yet. Attacking Pakistan can give his party votes and bring Congress a huge win in the next elections. But that will surely take us back to where he started.

Santa gets Ghajini cut!

The unstable bollywood market forces the movie-makers to go for agressive marketing. Aamir Khan's Ghajini has been able to create buzz around Aamir's hair-cut in the movie. I hope they spare Santa!

Economic recession hits Santa too!

I'm sure Santa is no different!

Big mouth Antulay!

While the ruling UPA succeeded in roping in the opposition parties in it's war on terror campaign, the Congress party failed to control it's own men like Antulay. His big mouth not only embarassed the ruling party, but also damaged the nation's integrity.

Taking care of terrorists!

Pakistan is good at taking care of terrorists even at the cost of being called a 'terrorist land'!

Attitude towards security need to change!

WE can have tons of terror laws, but what need to change is attitude towards nation's security. To do that we need to strengthen our intelligence agencies by inducting highly competent and dedicated people.

People don't hezitate to reject politicians' sympathies.

Since ages our politicians used tragic situations to show sympathy and buy their share of patriotism. But this time it is different. People don't hezitate to reject their sympathies.

Soon we'll accept the war-like situations in our cities and live accordingly!

He went to Matoshri and met Senior Thackeray.
And lots of theories started floating in the media.
But still no confirmation about Raj's political strategy!

Will the Maha Govt strategy work?

The Maharashtra Govt is in real fix. They let Raj Thackeray grow beyond their plans. Now they want to control him after the pressure from the UPA bosses.
They tried to file cases from different parts of Maharshtra so that Raj can spend more nights in jail. But will they succeed or this strategy will let him become more famous in other parts of Maharashtra?

The locals aren't interested in low-paying Govt jobs!

The locals want more opportunities in govt jobs everywhere.
If you go to any corner of this nation, you'll find angry locals who are demanding more jobs for them, who are ready to snatch their rightful rights!
But the studies show that, the locals aren't interested in low-paying Govt jobs.
They want a share in high-paying creamy jobs only.
So, more desperate outsiders migrate to do low-paying jobs.

The Maha Govt groomed Raj. But can they destroy this demon?

They groomed him. Now they're trying to control him.
Raj Thackeray is the demon created by the combined forces of Congress and NCP to weaken the real threat, Shiv Sena. They didn't touch him even while his blind army was destroying the cosmopolitan culture of Mumbai, thrashing North Indians, breaking taxis-rickshaws.
The Maharashtra even let him use Govt quarters for his Konkan tour!
But Raj Thackeray grew faster than they expected. Became more popular than they planned.
This demon is uncontrollable. But the Maha govt realised this only when the North Indian allies of UPA started putting more pressure on the Union Govt. Finally Raj was arrested and released. But I guess this arrest drama helps him more than the Govt, which is trying to save the face.

Spare the classic films, guys!

I'm not a big fan of re-making old classic movies.
And our filmmakers keep proving me right.
The biggest names of Hindi film industry failed to better a classic.
The poor remakes of Don, Umrao Jaan, Sholay haven't brought home any lesson, I guess.
The remaking of Karz is another disaster. The movie may still make enough money to help the producer try more adventures. Because Himesh has his own set of die-hard fans.

But if you have enjoyed the Rishi Kapoor starrer Karz, you'll exactly know why Himesh's Karz is a disaster. There can be only one Monty, Rishi Kapoor. If they thought someone like Himesh could pass off as Monty, then they need some serious lessons in film-making. But I'm sure, the remaking of Karz has more business strategies than the film making plans.

But please spare the classics, guys. We have enough talented writers in India to try new stories and be more adventerous in experimenting, rather than being adventerous in re-making!
