Pranab batting for no PAC or JPC
AS Pranab bats for PM's appearance before House and no other PAC or JPC, the PM is inclined to appear before PAC which won't be any less than JPC. But the opposition insists on JPC alone as PAC has lost its shine and sheen. Amidst this PAC and JPC, there is one ABC that one hasn't talked to date. And That happens to be...
Telangana and the trio of Bolta Modi, Kal Ka Admi and Nadia Jo Nahin Soti by Puneet Rajhans
Telangana and the trio of Bolta Modi, Kal Ka Admi and Nadia Jo Nahin Soti
There was a Cabinet meet last THursday to discuss the Srikrishna report on Telangana. Though the report is likely to study the feasibility of small states and how they can't be gobbled by big ones in one go, probably a case of their existence choc-a-bloc with large ones, the meet was used to study the feasibility of the Opposition campaign vis-a-vis Telangana Trepidation. Once the Telengana report is out, not conceding by any stretch the Telengana bout, the mayhem would be unprecedented and so would be its coverage. Once all this starts reaching unsurpassable limits, out would be the reprieve for the trio of Lalit Bolta Modi, Kal Ka Admi Kalmadi and Nadia Jo Na Soti. The doctored three have engaged in swindling operations which by any stretch is more than what Shiv Raj Puri of Citibank swindled. Saddled with liquid cash of customers, this Puri after several rounds of bhelpuri, promised them lucrative investments and in the process parking all funds in his den and basement.
The Cabinet meet attempted to study in detail the Bolta Modi, Kal Ka Admi and Joh Na Soti's renewed attempt to study in detail the Puri's modus operandi and how they could have parked themselves for this venture rather taking the occupants of Cabinet and country as backbenchers. Though Puri tale has no bearing on the trio the telangana tale truly and completely stores the potential to overshadow the cash commitments the trio truly pursued. Essentially, this is what the Cabinet meet discussed that this telangana report tabling would not have come at a more appropriate time when the Opposition would truly and completely stand wiped out when the Telangana telling imprints are brought out.
As the Cabinet meet thanked the true stars of telangana report for the services they rendered, the stress would be on the service to the nation to truly and completely implement the report braving the insurmountable odds here and there. Truly is the spectacle of the turmoil this report would release and truly would be our efforts to truly and completely capitalise with ease.
As the Cabinet meet was in its last lap discussing threadbare the Chidambaram invite to West Bengal CM Buddhadeb, the Cabinet members felt the need for more such invites in 2011 to win over the camps they lost out in the past. The members felt that they have truly arrived at a situation where the govt is at no threat and in threat is the Opposition unity once the invites of such nature have govt's sanctity.
This meet was followed few days later with another meet of personalities no less than Cabinet Ministers and Sisters, Bolti Modi, Kal Ka Admi and Jo Nah Soti. Holed up in an aircraft for a duration that can truly shame their compatriots, the trio discussed the elevated status they had in the elevated corridors of power and how it all truly disappeared. On the trio's agenda was also the telengana's jhanda and how this truly would provide them the breather they truly deserved and would preserve.
AS for the elevated status in the elevated corridors of power, the trio truly felt that such days are round the corner as chorus of protest against CBI's botched up fest is truly on. Once CBI winds up its operations, truly would begin the trio's tryst with fame and form.
When reports last came in the trio had slipped out of aircraft holes and with boria and buster parked themselves on Gujjar occupied railway tracks prodding the Gujjar leadership to occupy more tracks and sharpen their attacks. Their support to Gujjar agitation stemmed from the fact that while Gujjars were protesting against denial of reservation to them in govt jobs, the trio wanted to win back the govt jobs and favours which was truly reserved for them.
Truly was the reservation the two sides aspired for and truly was the agitation they wanted to pursue. THe only difference being one side wanted the entire limelight to their acts of agitation and the other no shedding of light to their true acts of subversion and sensation.

Price rise not to desired expectations by Puneet Rajhans
The Cabinet Meet on Thursday, which was the last meet of 2010, discussed among other things the prices of eggs, vegetables, milk, milk powder, soaps and other perishable and non perishable products. The meet was stormy as most of the Cabinet Members came garlanded with vegetables and carrying tins of milk and toilet paper.
How fierce was the storm and how the Govt Head negotiated is still not known. But what is known is that the members protested the rise of the prices not to their desired expectations as the quantum leap they were looking forward to was not adhered in letter and spirit. Finally the Cabinet Members dispersed with the belief that a course correction would set in to make the prices soar to their desired expectations. After all that is the only way through which the govt can secure a reprieve for itself as any telling rise in prices would open the doors for a debate and the one from which no opposition members can excruciatingly wait.
For the sake of Parliament to function let the prices assume new proportion. And the other decision the Cabinet took was howsoever unprecedented the price rise is, this won't hold true in the regions of Telangana still to be identified with the State of Andhra for the unprecedented nature of churning it is expected to witness in the coming seasons and months .

25 Paise Ka Samapan Samaroh by Puneet Rajhans
25 Paise Ka Samapan Samaroh
As the CBI-controlled RBI as desired by Central Government decided to do away with 25 paise in all shapes and sizes, this is one move that clearly spells govt's doom. Well the central govt, housed in New DElhi, had already done away with 25 paise when all its departments functioning, non functioning and some making attempts to function gave clear cut instructions that no matter what the circumstances are there won't be any transaction involving 25 paise, and with this all floating and feasible doubts had been set to rest that its very circulation would be a thing of past. It is the govt of the day that is to be blamed for its repulsion to 25 paise resulting in the visible govt declaration that the order to its ban has gone beyond suggestion.
Those who have been to states of Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Andhra pradesh, Karnataka, West Bengal, Orissa and other far off places would recall that the 25 and 50 paises are still in acceptance-cum-circulation. This stems from the fact that these places have a sizeable crowd of vendors, single screen theatres and day visible and night hidden operators who take pride in doing high value transactions involving these very 25 and 50 paises. Some would argue that how could it be high value transaction when it involves 25 and 50 paises. Well these transactions are honest to the prime and that explains the high value shine.
Places like Rameswaram, Kanniyakumari, Tirunelveli, Madurai and Trichy in the state of Tamil Nadu have shops demonstrating boardings that the xerox begins at 35 paise and for the price of Re 1 three papers can be xeroxed.In the very heart of Bangalore you can have xerox in the same range.Same is true of other two tier and three tier cities/towns. How they are going to cope with this Govt's farman isn't clear at the moment. The explanation from the govt side could well be that when the food inflation is touching 15 per cent it is entirely absurd to continue with 25 and 50 paises.
In the very heart of the national capital which lost its heart and soul to pursue a greedy battle, till 2009-end the University Special buses had student passes coming for Rs 12.50. This U-Special pass with this price tag had been a prime attraction since early 80s and heavily pursued for years close to 30. Once the Govt Order clearly stated that the Student Pass won't come for anything less than Rs 100, the very govt intent began to surface. Well the govt believes in high value high rampant transactions and this order has a lot to do with Citibank's Shiv Raj Puri high swindle efforts that had a telling effect on high net worth individuals. To clear the cobwebs and set the record straight, the govt order enables the swindler masters to carry on with their operations with high net worth individuals which by no means would have a chillar and chilling effect. The 25 paise blanket ban is one more rampant move of the govt to stay away from the aam admi firmament and clearly state that it is playing for big stakes and at this stage can't afford to let chillar rock its boat.
The next govt order would be a blanket ban on 50 paise and the bus operators repeated refusal to accept this since 2007 has set the stage for a govt order
to take the form of new economy order. After all chillars are meant for third degree economies which most of the zombies believe the country has gone past with most citizens on a least desirable fast.

This Sen batting for that Singh by Puneet Rajhans
This Sen batting for that Singh by Puneet Rajhans
Amartya Sen is batting for Manmohan Singh. This Sen batting for that Singh has few surprises. First and foremost is why this Sen is batting for that Singh. Probably the answer lies in the growth trajectory that Singh has batted for to enable India's economy to register 6 to 8 per cent growth for seasons not known.
With 1991, when he took over as Paisa Ka Pradhan Mantri his policies steered clear of licence raj and mata raj. The fascination for India to record record of sorts as far as growth rate went started there and then itself. Possibly the fascination took a hit when coalition conundrum made it inexplicably difficult for growth to be sustained on a sustained basis when politicos across spectrum too failed to clock a growth for themselves. For the past 11 years, the growth trajectory has been a story of assimilation and so has been the sustenance of politicos acros spectrum.
THis SEn who is most resistant to change won't like a change of guard at this stage when India is truly and completely absorbed in and around 8 per cent cake. A change of guard effectively resulting in Manmohan crowd disrupting apart would have a telling effect on the growth rate coupled with ATMs of banks across spectrum. With Man-of-the-Moment not in the picture there won't be any Monty either to bat for the same sustaining growth rate that Monty batted and Singh pursued. Exposed to political turbulence, Sen wants rock solid support for the man-of-the-moment lest history throws up another momentous moment for another political greenhorn to bat for another growth rate.
The inexplicable conduct of PM , Sen traces this to his coalition helplessness and the remedial measures he sees in the mata raj taking a back seat. If mata stops chiding the opposition for chiding the PM that would store the flickering possibility that attacks on pm would wane and in true spirit the governance would reign.
So for the sake of governance let mata and mast opposition take a seat not visible for the moment as man and monty have again set their sights on a sustained growth rate for which sen has equal stakes.

Of PAC Joshi's independent views and Gadkari mulaqat by Puneet Rajhans
Of PAC Joshi's independent views and Gadkari mulaqat
There are views and views on the urgency of BJP leader Joshi to take an independent view on PAC. The view that Joshi wants to take is entirely independent of BJP's views on the subject as the PAC Chair handles him enough freedom to take views and share none with BJP crew. This PAC Chair is something of a rot in the system as the previous occupant Jaswant too steadfastly refused to abide by the party view and was more eager to give his due. It took a while for the likes of Sushma to appear at his door now and then to make him climb down from his exalted stand. Perhaps another summary dismissal of another leader could clear the muck laden stand. Before we attempt to gauge at that prospects let us look at Joshi's murli and his subjects.
The considered view is that in the world of give and take the Joshi's murli is all but fake. This Joshi wants to study the scope of PAC on the need to take a call on JPC- refusing PM's offer of appearance when all that the Opposition is crying for a JPC deposition. The PAC deposition has our toto opposition as this would lead to fragment in our opposition and Cong-led erection.
The considered view of the party is that Joshi in a state of Behoshi can't be allowed to take a view that can't be viewed by the stable and unstable party members including those down with malaria and flu.
To prevent Joshi from taking an independent view the prevailing view is why not submit a certificate to Lok Sabha Speaker speaking on the state of health of PAC CHairman which the Speaker can independently verify from independent partymen. Faced with such a dilemma the independent view that Joshi would attempt to take won't be independent in any nature and what would be independent is the scope of JPC to summon PM and his tribe of independent ministers who acted independently and with no justification.
Let Joshi climb down from the exalted status as any declaration of independence would lead to his declared non existence with suspension the only abiding decision which the party would willingly oblige considering the ruling benches declining size. Let Joshi take no view because the view once taken which would leave the the likes of Jaitley-Advani shaken and what would be in motion the House meeting for no foreseeable session. aam janata ki sun lo joshi apni rah party ke bahar bun lo.
Few days later came this piece of news that Joshi had made up with the party top brass post meeting with top adhikari gadkari where he elaborately explained his elaborate plans to stay in the party notwithstanding the elaborate plans of elaborate cong to wean him. This elaborate explanation put to rest the elaborate suspense that joshi won't rock the boat and the demand for JPC would continue to float. Post Joshi-Gadkari meeting the top brass of BJP broke their fast and attempted another govt blast.

Raja aur Kalmadi na ho sake aam admi by Puneet Rajhans
Raja aur Kalmadi na ho sake aam admi by Puneet Rajhans
Post CBI sleuths departing from Kalmadi's place, in a routine gesture, the CBI spokesman spoke about important documents recovered from Kalmadi, the one who resisted attempts to be our very own aam admi. The documents pushed inside the uncounted number of cartons were important from CBI's point of view but easily to be dispensed with was Kalmadi's all pervasive clue. The cartons had a sizeable number of papers talking at length about the paid and unpaid bijli, pani and phone bills coupled with innumerable aircraft journeys he took to keep the CW Games off probing agencies hook.
The decision about which Kalmadi spoke to media and the decision the media relayed to the aam admi was since Kalmadi wasn't acting for aam admi, all the decisions from his stable were taken in continuity with the decision taken in the past and the one to be taken in the future would not create any less rupture. "The decision was not taken by me alone; the decisions involving the govt departments and scamsters who for country's sake for once had refused to be mere spectators. In a jiffy, files were cleared and notes prepared as CWG had to keep moving as its deadline neared.
Post Kalmadi press meet came this beep that Raja had left the CBI quarters armed with the knowledge that fishing in troubled waters was the DMK mandate on which he alone acted. The loot story had not been proportionately broken and in store was Raja's another round to be shaken. He bared his heart and spoke things at the back of his mind that no matter what the CBI did to him the DMK won't withdraw support to Madhyawadi Chunav karein wale Manmohan govt when people in Tamil Nadu had decided to do the same when the Karuna govt had decisively proved to be their bane.
From now till Assembly polls in Tamil Nadu, the DMK supremo won't be less than a full blown southern aloo. The six day raja awareness campaign would set the record straight: "THe CBI may come and go , the opposition numbers may drop and slow but the Raja and Raja ki praja would always have the first mover advantage to sway and grow.
At the end of six day campaign of Raja nahin lakir hai, yeh desh ki taqdeer hai, sumptuous meals were provided with an elaborate stay and a promise that similar campaign for other leaders in their party was on the anvil as more skeletons would tumble out to make them tremble.
Post CBI sleuths departing from Kalmadi's place, in a routine gesture, the CBI spokesman spoke about important documents recovered from Kalmadi, the one who resisted attempts to be our very own aam admi. The documents pushed inside the uncounted number of cartons were important from CBI's point of view but easily to be dispensed with was Kalmadi's all pervasive clue.

Big Daddy DElhi to Big Mummy Mumbai by Puneet Rajhans
Big Daddy DElhi to Big Mummy Mumbai
As large number of air travellers had collected at the DElhi airport to deliberate on the open sky policy and the turbulence it had unleashed, there was another agitation unleashed by Gujjars under another open sky. This deliberation came in response to that pandemonium that visited air travellers as skies hadn't been clear enough to ensure safe departure/landing which normally leads to safe commute back home provided no ulterior motives are sighted to hone their skills and zone.
THe foggy conditions made the travellers turn their endless wait to acts of deliberations on an agitation on tracks that was in the realm of progression in the not-so-hospitable conditions.
The open sky policy discussion that air travellers were meant to throw themselves in was abandoned and in discussion was the discussion the gujjar agitators were having on the purported discussion that High Court had leading to a discussion delivered decision that 5 per cent quota was null and void. This made the entire Gujjars throw themselves to acts of defiance under a different sky that was clear and arrived. THey collected themselves on railway tracks since airport runways and terminals could not be sighted by their top brass. And thus began spate of demands from gujjars goading the govt of the day to act fast failing which the movement of fast trains between Big Daddy Delhi and Big Mummy Mumbai would be a thing of the past. THat the train movement between Big Daddy Delhi and Big Mummy Mumbai had been suspended through this route and in suspense was the livelihood of a large number of people. Foremost were the touts and those indulging in petty acts who had progressed at a pace outpacing the growth of traffic along this route. The land prices adjacent to stations, small and more than small, shot up and so did the fortunes of those who were tied to them. This tribe faced a clear and present danger to their livelihood and so did the prospects of a large number when disruption of milk supply was the reigning thunder.
AS these aftereffects were being deliberated by air travellers comprising those staying put at airport for over 12 hours and those holed up inside the unmoved aircraft for similar hours, most of them including cabin crew were united in their stand that something urgent needed to be done to break their ranks. Some suggested that air lifting the agitating gujjars from railway tracks would be the preferred route no matter how inhospitable the weather conditions are. This airborne operation would give enough confidence to sulking pilots across airports who refuse to be airborne even when the conditions are not that volatile and strong.
Making them Airborne was the demand of the collected travellers both at airport and inside aircraft as this airborne act would open the tracks and make the collected air travellers try the rail act. This was the best course of action when being airborne was all that was demanded of agitating gujjars to let aam public afford a train transport that is easy on pocket and free from preying vultures.

A Raja Ka Cooperation Aur Janata Ki Sahmati by Puneet Rajhans
A Raja Ka Cooperation Aur Janata Ki Sahmati by Puneet Rajhans
As A Raja reached Chennai airport, he brushed aside his supporters and reached out to collected mediamen. His take on investigations by CBI went like this.
"I gave full cooperation to investigating agency. The level of cooperation i extended to CBI perhaps was the level that no layman has in the past or in the future would do. On close scrutiny my level of cooperation was swift and complete. First day i stayed put at CBI quarters for 10 hours to be followed by 7 the next day. This was the level of cooperation i extended and CBI accepted."
Come to think of the level of cooperation and hospitality i extended when CBI sleuths came calling on me. There i was open to all levels of cooperation going all the way to assembled mediamen outside with neither me nor my staff letting loose straying dogs on them. Ever since i have been cooperating with the CBI and the CBI has been acknowledging the same the level of cooperation has reached a record level. THe tale of my cooperation doesn't end there . My cooperation was all evident as i stepped out of CBI quarters as no furniture had been ransacked and no visible entity/person hacked. Here next to CBI quarters as well the assembled journos saw no sign of violence from my side as i proceeded to my quarters with no exchange of glances or exchange of blows. Further during my stay in Delhi i extended the same level of cooperation to all those who came visiting me pre and post CBI grilling.
When i reached DElhi airport the same level of cooperation was visible with myself staying put next to the boarding gate for over 12 hours and this followed with another set of 12 hours inside the aircraft when it didn't moved an inch. The onward journey from DElhi to Chennai saw me cooperating with fellow passengers and cabin crew. On reaching the Chennai airport, the level of cooperation from my side reached a new high when i co opted the collected mediamen and told them about my elaborate plans to have an elaborate stay in Chennai. THis level of cooperation i wish to carry forward to my doctor in Chennai as the doctor in DElhi refused to accept and acknowledge the cooperation efforts.
As for next level of cooperation with CBI, which would probably be the last one, the cooperation would be rock solid with no room for apprehensions whatsoever.
My level of cooperation is no different from Cricket India's attempt to level the series in South Africa. As for the future cooperation my level would be commensurate with the level of efforts the Cricket India puts in Capetown to thrash the Proteas or get thrashed. Draw is not an option as there is too much dew in the middle and so true is my option to not give in when all mechanisms are there to fiddle.

This Sen batting for that Singh by Puneet Rajhans
This Sen batting for that Singh by Puneet Rajhans
Amartya Sen is batting for Manmohan Singh. This Sen batting for that Singh has few surprises. First and foremost is why this Sen is batting for that Singh. Probably the answer lies in the growth trajectory that Singh has batted for to enable India's economy to register 6 to 8 per cent growth for seasons not known.
With 1991, when he took over as Paisa Ka Pradhan Mantri his policies steered clear of licence raj and mata raj. The fascination for India to record record of sorts as far as growth rate went started there and then itself. Possibly the fascination took a hit when coalition conundrum made it inexplicably difficult for growth to be sustained on a sustained basis when politicos across spectrum too failed to clock a growth for themselves. For the past 11 years, the growth trajectory has been a story of assimilation and so has been the sustenance of politicos acros spectrum.
THis SEn who is most resistant to change won't like a change of guard at this stage when India is truly and completely absorbed in and around 8 per cent cake. A change of guard effectively resulting in Manmohan crowd disrupting apart would have a telling effect on the growth rate coupled with ATMs of banks across spectrum. With Man-of-the-Moment not in the picture there won't be any Monty either to bat for the same sustaining growth rate that Monty batted and Singh pursued. Exposed to political turbulence, Sen wants rock solid support for the man-of-the-moment lest history throws up another momentous moment for another political greenhorn to bat for another growth rate.
The inexplicable conduct of PM , Sen traces this to his coalition helplessness and the remedial measures he sees in the mata raj taking a back seat. If mata stops chiding the opposition for chiding the PM that would store the flickering possibility that attacks on pm would wane and in true spirit the governance would reign.
So for the sake of governance let mata and mast opposition take a seat not visible for the moment as man and monty have again set their sights on a sustained growth rate for which sen has equal stakes.

Big Daddy DElhi to Big Mummy Mumbai
As large number of air travellers had collected at the DElhi airport to deliberate on the open sky policy and the turbulence it had unleashed, there was another agitation unleashed by Gujjars under another open sky.

THe foggy conditions made the travellers turn their endless wait to acts of deliberations on an agitation on tracks that was in the realm of progression in the not-so-hospitable conditions.
The open sky policy discussion that air travellers were meant to throw themselves in was abandoned and in discussion was the discussion the gujjar agitators were having on the purported discussion that High Court had leading to a discussion delivered decision that 5 per cent quota was null and void. This made the entire Gujjars throw themselves to acts of defiance under a different sky that was clear and arrived.

Raja aur Kalmadi na ho sake aam admi by Puneet Rajhans
Raja aur Kalmadi na ho sake aam admi by Puneet Rajhans
Post CBI sleuths departing from Kalmadi's place, in a routine gesture, the CBI spokesman spoke about important documents recovered from Kalmadi, the one who resisted attempts to be our very own aam admi. The documents pushed inside the uncounted number of cartons were important from CBI's point of view but easily to be dispensed with was Kalmadi's all pervasive clue. The cartons had a sizeable number of papers talking at length about the paid and unpaid bijli, pani and phone bills coupled with innumerable aircraft journeys he took to keep the CW Games off probing agencies hook.
The decision about which Kalmadi spoke to media and the decision the media relayed to the aam admi was since Kalmadi wasn't acting for aam admi, all the decisions from his stable were taken in continuity with the decision taken in the past and the one to be taken in the future would not create any less rupture. "The decision was not taken by me alone; the decisions involving the govt departments and scamsters who for country's sake for once had refused to be mere spectators. In a jiffy, files were cleared and notes prepared as CWG had to keep moving as its deadline neared.
Post Kalmadi press meet came this beep that Raja had left the CBI quarters armed with the knowledge that fishing in troubled waters was the DMK mandate on which he alone acted. The loot story had not been proportionately broken and in store was Raja's another round to be shaken. He bared his heart and spoke things at the back of his mind that no matter what the CBI did to him the DMK won't withdraw support to Madhyawadi Chunav karein wale Manmohan govt when people in Tamil Nadu had decided to do the same when the Karuna govt had decisively proved to be their bane.
From now till Assembly polls in Tamil Nadu, the DMK supremo won't be less than a full blown southern aloo. The six day raja awareness campaign would set the record straight: "THe CBI may come and go , the opposition numbers may drop and slow but the Raja and Raja ki praja would always have the first mover advantage to sway and grow.
At the end of six day campaign of Raja nahin lakir hai, yeh desh ki taqdeer hai, sumptuous meals were provided with an elaborate stay and a promise that similar campaign for other leaders in their party was on the anvil as more skeletons would tumble out to make them tremble.

Of PAC, JPC and ABC by Puneet Rajhans
Of PAC, JPC and ABC
THe PAC, JPC and ABC debate hasn't died down. But what seems to be drying up is BJP's patience with Joshi's attempt to bat in the middle when there is no one at the non striker's end. While Sushma has stuck to her demand for JPC, the PAC Joshi wants an equal and comprehensive redressal of his grievances. The grievances are on two counts.
First is his immediate demand to immediately lift the Parliament siege failing which he would take to other forums like collecting at Jantar Mantar to raise a debate from his side.
SEcond he hasn't had one to one, face to face interaction with PM since ages. The last interaction was with the BJP PM with none whatsoever with a Cong PM. That largely explains the alacrity on his part to let the Cong PM appear before PAC for which Sushma ably supported by Jaitley in tandem with Advani riding high on Left-turned-Samajwadi support won't settle for anything less than JPC. Though Jag Utha Joshi has been repeatedly told to nip his desire for one to one interaction with Cong PM as the possibility of a BJP PM is round the corner.
Howsoever strong may be efforts to seek interaction with Cong PM, he should well settle for meeting of minds with a BJP PM provided he desists from batting for full one year. THis one year wait is too long , Joshi lamented, suggesting this new found agility won't last long.
This Joshi is convinced that his party won't be able to address either of his grievances in the immediate future of one to one with Cong PM and immediate lifting of Parliament siege. In suspended animation is the thought of PAC Joshi calling JPC -refusing PM. To break this impasse and the animation which is more than suspended in nature, some have suggested a middle ground. This middle ground could well be Joshi and Singh trading places whereby this Joshi would take the chair which Singh vacates and that Singh taking the chair which Joshi leaves. Well the siege the Parliament is faced with, it calls for unconventional measures to break the same. The PM's chair could well go to the member of the opposition class with the rest of the cabinet coming from ruling benches and all the parliament committees to be headed by ruling members.
AS this solution has been suggested, there are still rampant views that Joshi could still take an independent view on scope of PAC which won't be in entire agreement with the Sushma propelled view. To prevent Joshi from taking an independent view the prevailing view is why not submit a certificate to Lok Sabha Speaker speaking of mental health of PAC CHairman which the Speaker can independently verify from independent sources. Faced with such a dilemma the independent view that Joshi would attempt to take won't be independent in any nature and what would be independent is the scope of JPC to summon PM and his tribe of independent ministers who acted independently with no one to control their motion.

SAchin @ 50 ; Cong @ 125 by Puneet Rajhans
The milestone reached by Sachin engages us more than the decimation milestone that Cong has set for itself to achieve. It was a ton coming from the willows of a batsman who had the will to send bowlers to isolationist shell. Though our very own Right To Wwin Sachin has cracked 50th ton of cricketing history, the disoriented Cong had in its fold large elements to make it descend into big time history.
Perhaps the ton of the cricketing don had surprises and more surprises as he suggested post feat and day's bowling and batting balance sheet that the belly in the fire was strong enough to notch up more and more records and that again would not have the opposition accord. But this cricketing maestro's setting of a record was enough to relegate the record the Cong wanted to set for itself with Cong Chief suggesting that 12 years is all that she has had at the helm; another 12 would be a record from her side. The Sachin's sweep came post Cong Chief's declared weep that results of Bihar polls followed with attacks on PM and the unhindered continuance of Karnataka CM were enough for her and partymen to shed tears and tear apart the opposition strategy to stall Parliament with no fear.
As more and more spectators had begun to switch from Parliament session to Cricketing session; the former for not having even one constructive day session in its name and the latter for having a constructive batting in the middle, the Parliament faced a clear and present danger of having no audience if the past stalemate continued into present and future. The stalemate is all that i have come to discuss, the Cong chief thundered suggesting that this party session would be a recurring feature to resurrect the possibility of Parliament having its own very session. This resurrection was very much different from the resurrection that Sachin attempted and the resurrection of Indian innings at least showed the fighting chance the Cricket India was imbued with and determined to show that in following matches they would have more surprises for others to take a glance.
The cricketing don's feat was something to lap up; and the Cong determined push to decimation was also something to work towards. Though Sachin or Cricket India haven't send feelers to the Board they report to on the need to start from scratch as most of their strength is in collective push to snatch a win with a run feast which makes the opposition side lose its shine and grin. Start-from-scratch was the umpteen declaration from umpteen Cong leader and thus cong chief's assertion made others wonder what tally the party was looking for in LS polls to make it actually scratch the surface and start from scratch. Would a drop to double digit make it a case of start-from-scratch or the embodiment of tranquility and sobriety that party stands for the pursuit towards a single digit record would have the nation's accord.
All in all the Sachin's act of dominance was the best response in a day against a party's active collusion to its allies acts of heist. This throws the probable suggestion that when the Cricket Board can have 30 probables for World Cup, what prevents the polity to draw a list of its own 30 fighting and delivering probables who would be in the Cabinet if the Cabinet has seized to function and more-than-probable tainted waiting for induction.
What makes a Sizeable Reading. The three-figure mark this maestro reached and the tearing hurry with which the Cong wants to disappear from three-figure association. Probably the disassociation from three-figure association would come sooner than Sachin's another 10 straight tons.
The milestone reached by Sachin engages us more than the decimation milestone that Cong has set for itself to achieve. It was a ton coming from the willows of a batsman who had the will to send bowlers to isolationist shell. Though our very own Right To Wwin Sachin has cracked 50th ton of cricketing history, the disoriented Cong had in its fold large elements to make it descend into big time history.

Is Kahani Ki Koi Subah Nahi: Raja's residence and the prospective occupant at 2A M N Marg by Puneet Rajhans
Is Kahani Ki Koi Subah Nahi: Raja's residence and the prospective occupant at 2A M N Marg by Puneet Rajhans
As sleuths moved inside this A Raja's residence to undertake the mopping job which had been withheld ever since he withheld the decision to resign and having resigned once withheld the decision to come out with facts known and only known to him. The sleuths had a job on hand: To navigate their way to this Raja's residence collect the required and suggested facts as suggested by the Supreme Court and come out in one piece. THe sleuths collected there to nail Raja's lie that he and his followers had nothing to do with 2G and CVC. The Raja's reasoning: "Out of phone records and conversations which is out in the public domain you want to fix the blame on me and establish my culpability when the available records are nothing but scratching the surface. If at all the blame has to be fixed, you need to trace the calls of lobbyists and associates-turned-lobbyists. "
As this piece of information trickled out for the journos collected there to cover the CBI proceedings and the proceedings that would follow later they were taken aback by Raja's attempt to cover up and cover those who report to him.
In between sleuths gathering facts and journos babbling acts there was another group of journos who were explicit in detail about the pain and suffering they have been subjected to ever since they took to this profession. The professed loyalty to lawyer-turned-proprietor is not enough. The juicy bits that we are told to cover and the sense that we are asked to make of a non existent story turns us down. Some were clear in their argument that their continuance in the profession is linked to the big bashes thrown by the television and print set-ups. Be it a campaign on hariyali aur haiwan or the campaign where those who make appearance with their arman, the gathering is under single unbreakable roof. Apart from the meals and drinks, such gathering provides us the opportunity to come face to face with new associates with whom we can have long lasting tie-ups till the time the new bash in town throws a new face and a new wine.
As the scribes weren't getting any piece of information from inside where CBI sleuths had parked came this piece of news that BJP leader Venkaiah Naidu wanted the probing janata to go to the bottom of the truth. "We are at Raja's place to precisely get to the bottom of the truth. We are not here to tail the movements of the former Raja. We are here to keep a tab on those who are tailing him."
No sooner Naidu had spoken about getting to the bottom of the pit came SC's observation that all files relating to deal signed sealed and delivered since 2001 in telecom department should be looked into. To this Naidu observed that the communication he wanted to communicate was that politics had reached an all time bottom and we need to focus on post 2004 bottoms and lows when Rajas and conquerors presided to see the Ministry eventually bottom out. AS Naidu drove to party headquarters to get to the bottom of party leaders mind and what battle of bottoms and lows lay ahead for their party post SC bottom thrust.
The collected journos finally left the venue with the belief that 2A Motilal Nehru always had an occupant who had been enmeshed in cesspool of politics now and then. First it was AB in mid 80s who resided here and post Bofors upsurge he left Parliament and the House in the never-recorded surge. Now this Raja is facing the heat for his more-than-desired splurge.
Perhaps time has come for a new occupant to move in 2A M N Marg with a new set of controversies to tail him.
Few days later came this piece of news that Raja would finally be making himself available to the world of questioning from the world of CBI at CBI headquarters. The questions hadn't been sent in advance to Raja. But CBI sleuths decision to stay put in their offices and question Raja stemmed from the near revolt by scribes at Raja's place when these sleuths had gone inside and for over 12 hours the scribes had parked themselves outside.
Probably the queries that would be part of the investigation of Raja would circle around the number of hours he is tossed between sleeping and waking and and how his more than visible followers are taking in their stride the unfolding suspense on Raja the leader and Raja the 2G inheritor. Perhaps the clue to Karuna backing Raja too would be thrown open to investigation with Raja suggesting the disproportionate charges that have been levelled against him are not at all proportionate to the proportionate empire he presided over.
The view is not much would come out in the CBI's face to face with Raja, and summing the sum and substance of the entire day proceedings would be a one line statement from CBI's band baza: "In view of incriminating documents seized from Raja's house and the incriminating piece of evidence collected in the face to face investigation the CBI is of the view that a case of Raja's culpability is strong but not strong enough to keep him in our headquarters for long.
The word that came out from CBI and not part of the statement was during the entire investigation this Raja stayed mum and his lips movement visible when calls came from Karuna whom he could not shun. The Raja's act of defiance and Karuna's act of support are the twin new responsibilities on our hands and we need to apprise the Supreme Court that extra days beyond Jan-Feb would be required to break the Raja-Karuna Fort. Perhaps by that time this Raja would have begin to sing and Karuna's support would have begin to wink.
And the scribes screamed in unison: Is Kahani ki koi subah nahin . Perhaps the prospective occupant of 2A M N Marg was the story the scribes could not shun.

Setting a precedent
Setting a precedent
The Karnataka Governor has set a precedent. The list he is talking about and the list we are seeking are entirely different. According to the communique released from Raj Bhawan the governor has an entire list of ministers who are absolutely corrupt, those who would be corrupt in due course of time and those who are vulnerable to be corrupt if remedial measures are not set in immediately.
The list is an endorsement of the fact that the pattern of governance in the state of Karnataka is truly and completely happening as corruption only happens when power flows. But this act of endorsement is in no way the Yeddy Govt's indictment as graft charges that are being levelled are primarily against those ministers whose ministries have been more than active in their pursuit to peak to new levels of activism.
In the melee of list preparation and upgradation what is actually lost is the list of council of ministers. What the list the governor has and what the list the public wants are entirely different. The Governor has the list of the tainted past and present ministers and a prospective list of ministers who when assuming office would be equally tainted. But this listed matter of the Governor doesn't endear the masses as they are solely interested in the list of the serving ministers who are actually tainted. The haphazard manner in which the list has been prepared doesn't appeal to the public as well since the sole motto of the caught-in-the-list-preparation-Governor is to invite the public to the Raj Bhavan and have more than a cursory look at the list and satisfy it to their satisfaction. For reaching this level of satisfaction elaborate meals have been promised along with elaborate stay where the maha mahim governor would be elaborate enough to elaborately explain the elaborate list and other listed matters in his agenda.

The thrust towards aam admi by Puneet Rajhans
The thrust towards aam admi
What came from the plenary session organised by the Cong party are abundantly clear. More ministers would be visiting states to interact with disappeared-now-appeared-later party workers; they would be staying less in the Capital to sway deal one way or the other; the chairs they occupied during the Cabinet meets would be unoccupied because of the thrust to stay in touch with the aam admi.
Rahul and Cong Chief would be seen more in aam admi attire; they would move in transport used only by aam admi and stay in visible places that are visible to aam admi. And on the way to their destinations they would stop and interact with the aam admi to the maximum. This interaction with the aam admi would be the favourite pastime and in line with aam admi's concern the diesel and kerosene would be supplied on credit and banks disbursing loans for the same would be a recurring habit.
In line with the aam admi the mother-son duo won't stay in the CApital for long and travel to far off places to feel the pulse of the nation. As a result there would be fewer visits by head of states and head of govts as the sum total head at the Centre would be visiting the remote places to be in touch with the aam admi culture.
To have a aam admi feel, the Cong top guns would rise early in the morning do the morning chores and reach office at sharp 10. Like any other aam admi after the day's work is over they would simply head towards home with no distractions whatsoever.
For aam admi feel all top guns of the party and govt would subject themselves to patting down at airports, stations and theatres and the existing list that excused them from patting would be a thing of the past.
As a tribute to the aam admi, the debates in the tv theatres would turn to more of an interaction involving aam admi and cover the entire gamut and scope of issues relating to aam admi. None would have the temerity to say that this debate is null and void given the low prices visible only to Cong leader Renuka which made the moderator and other panelists annoyed. This price that Renuka talks is the one the people have to pay when the public is not that strong. As a result, the debates would be short of elite list and comprise more of aam admi wish list.

Cong Session in Burari : From AAm Admi to Onion by Puneet Rajhans
Cong Session in Burari : From AAm Admi to Onion by Puneet Rajhans
As Cong Gandhi spoke on issues close to her heart and the heart of the delegates of 15 to be multiplied by 1000, her emphasis on Shivirs and Baithaks of the past in Shimla and Panchmarhi came to the focus. She spoke about Karnataka corruption, the complete bite to the dust in Bihar elections and the repeated attacks on PM and his Extended Sections. These three issues she had already raised in the past and post this Burari declaration this would as well assume the mantle of a speech lost post party celebrations primarily for the extended sleep and extended meals it offered to the party delegates of 15 to be multiplied by 1000.
As she spoke about Koi Short Cut Nahi Hai, she meant that there has to be a short cut to the breaking of Parliament logjam. Though she didn't specify the steps the party would invoke to break the logjam her suggestion that these very party delegates who had been silent and mum could eventually be considered for intrusion and inclusion in the Lower House if the order defying members stayed with their order of protest.
As she spoke about realising our weaknesses and searching our strengths, the delegates 15 to be multiplied by 1000 were plainly told to have the best food to the maximum during the party session as this would give them the stamina and energy to fight political opponents. As Cong G prodded the delegates to not forget the sacrifices the leaders had made in the past and also not to be forgetten the association they ever had with radias and nadias of the same past.
As she urged the Ministers from her party to stay in the capital for less and spend more time touring the states and meeting the party workers, her reflection was on the thick funds these ministers are blessed with and party workers can approach them with no inhibitions to get the required funds for their daily needs. Mind you the daily needs would differ from state to state. Perhaps the start-from-the-scratch was the message that endeared the party delegates the most as this would open up a world of cash for them and their family as opportunities had to be snatched with fire in the belly.
As for Cong CMs and Ministers relinquishing the discretionary powers, her hint was at the prospects of a large number of Ministers to relinquish the offices they were holding and even the Gen Secys in the party (known to speak out of turn and with no no tailing command)so that the complete connect could be established with the aam admi by placing these chairs before these very army of aam admi.
As for vulgar display of wealth, the hint-to-be-taken-forward-as-suggestion was display should be proportionate to revealed sources of wealth and income if any and disproportionate would invite the proportionate strictures from the party high command of mother-son duo which in the near possibility does not stand the chance of reaching the status of a trio.
She also reminded the party delegates to not forget collecting the daily meal coupon from this party session which would enable them to have meals for free at party headquarters in their state for seven days in motion.
AS Cong G left the venue and the 15 to be multiplied by 1000 delegates showed the least will to leave, there was another bunch cornered to the point where they could hold their session in this only visible party session. They were the onion experts mulling at their export order taking a hit and how they could retrieve the lost ground as the govt had declared the intent to strike at hoarders. They tried to establish the link with the Sab Ka PawarParivar but were told to be in the queue as the sab parivar was taking written complaints from the aam admi who had suffered the most on account of sab parivar's actions as a imposing cricket host. They were told that Lavasa would be the place where they could file litany of complaints given sab parivar's proclivity to hide in the cool environs when the uncounted number of times his ministry's failing come to picture and recline.
As leaders, delegates and onion experts left the venue, the govt order came that since Burari in its entire history had not seen the session of this scale and as a tribute to the Cong and delegates the land where the session took would be handed to the party that had least number of crooks-turned-cooks. Perhaps Burari tha Ek Bura Sapna.

Denis Angeleri Ki Wife Adele Ko Shane Warne Ke Texts by Puneet Rajhans
Denis Angeleri Ki Wife Adele Ko Shane Warne Ke Texts by Puneet Rajhans
Denis Angeleri Ki wife Adele Ko Shane Warne (Mein Naya Toofan) has sent more than 100 satisfying texts. The period during which texts messages were raised and sent is more important. More interestingly is the way he has raised the game of getting in between sheets and getting out and texting. Probably the explicit texts numbering 100 had its roots in and out encounter with Liz Hurley (Aur KIsi Ka Holay)who was thrilled at the prospects of someone knocking her down when others had failed to be around.
The texts were endearing to Denis Angeleri Ki Wife Adele as long as it didn't touch the three digit figure. Once a century had been reached and breached perhaps Denis Angeleri Ki Wife Adele thought time had come for Angeleri to be kept in the loop lest Warne starts texting Angeleri on what he texted to Adele and Adele not coming out in the open on what all Warne texted and Adele desired. Perhaps more than 100 sexually centred texts could not have materialised with Denis Angeleri Ki Wife Adele actually suggesting to Warne the texts she desired and desisted. Having the opportunity to travel in the mind of Denis Angeleri Ki Wife Adele, Warne broke all bonds and texted all that came to his mind on his sequence of surrender to Liz blonde.
Twin responsibility that Warne was engaged in first texting followed by bed hitting with Liz in company, this was the least from someone for whom multiple women was a repeated act of wooing. Perhaps had the two Liz and Warne cocooned in suite, stayed for longer, the texts could have the potential to touch the four-digit mark. Stay was for two days and this annoyed the spin wizard whose stimulant package enables him to deliver off field performances for days and days together. Post Liz rupture his next port of call would have been Melbourne where Denis Angeleri was born.
Perhaps the breaching of 100 mark was too difficult for Adele to handle and she persuaded Angeleri to take time out to respond to text messages. The response that led Denis Angeleri and Shane Warne shout down each other on the appetite the two have been blessed with and the places they park to make others appreciate this art.
Having understood Adele taking offence on receiving 100 beyond texts, what offended Liz was Shane's utter callousness to text one such message when at 45 she had opened the entire world for him. This was the message about Liz that Shane texted to Adele that post Shane-Liz conjugal rights getting established, he would see to it that Liz is sent to Adele's place to make Denis Angeleri release his wife from his prison. To enable Denis to act, Liz would again open her world for another Denis to bat. After all Shane and Adele have been texting each other even before Shane carpet bombed Liz with his rock and grin.
Denis Angeleri Ki wife Adele Ko Shane Warne (Mein Naya Toofan) has sent more than 100 satisfying texts. The period during which texts messages were raised and sent is more important. More interestingly is the way he has raised the game of getting in between sheets and getting out and texting. Probably the explicit texts numbering 100 had its roots in and out encounter with Liz Hurley (Aur KIsi Ka Holay)who was thrilled at the prospects of someone knocking her down when others had failed to be around.
The texts were endearing to Denis Angeleri Ki Wife Adele as long as it didn't touch the three digit figure. Once a century had been reached and breached perhaps Denis Angeleri Ki Wife Adele thought time had come for Angeleri to be kept in the loop lest Warne starts texting Angeleri on what he texted to Adele and Adele not coming out in the open on what all Warne texted and Adele desired. Perhaps more than 100 sexually centred texts could not have materialised with Denis Angeleri Ki Wife Adele actually suggesting to Warne the texts she desired and desisted. Having the opportunity to travel in the mind of Denis Angeleri Ki Wife Adele, Warne broke all bonds and texted all that came to his mind on his sequence of surrender to Liz blonde.
Twin responsibility that Warne was engaged in first texting followed by bed hitting with Liz in company, this was the least from someone for whom multiple women was a repeated act of wooing. Perhaps had the two Liz and Warne cocooned in suite, stayed for longer, the texts could have the potential to touch the four-digit mark. Stay was for two days and this annoyed the spin wizard whose stimulant package enables him to deliver off field performances for days and days together.

DMK PRESS THAT KARUNA ADDRESSED by Puneet Rajhans
DMK PRESS THAT KARUNA ADDRESSED by Puneet Rajhans
DMK strongman saddled with sleepless nights had something to declare. At a press conference called late in the evening when more than half of the journos stop beaming, Karuna thundered: "If Raja is found guilty action would be taken him. This not-so-visible tectonic shift in Karuna's stand stems from a large congregation of followers-turned-mediamen who had gathered close to his home. These newly crowned mediamen had been told to not venture near the gates of the house where karuna resided failing which action would be taken against them even before this karuna contemplates taking action against that Raja. Hearing this, they packed themselves to a corner but visible to men, women and babies who were residing in Karuna's place.
It was late in the evening and the mediamen had not dispersed. To clear the media crowd and clear the air, Karuna called them to the portico of his house and gave his spiel on the unfolding Raja and unnerving UPA-dropped RAja.
"You are talking about raids. We have been consistent with the policy of raids. The raids they carry on and the raids we witness are one and the same not straying from our thought process on what they deliver and where they falter. I have called this press conference to divulge the nature of raids that was underway at Raja's residence since morning. It lasted beyond your and mine imagination with the understanding enough meals and mates would be in plenty to let them sift through unimaginable paper work at his Kingdom."
I should tell you in all frankness that once the exercise was over Raja was in the best frame of mind and sleuths in unimaginable state of mental and physical health and this makes the verdict clear. Raja has not been found guilty and at guilt are the sleuths who came to grill him and his followers. This Raja staying firm and unwavering howsoever insurmountable the raids may be shows that Raja can't be pronounced guilty now and for ages. To this the assembled mediamen had nothing more to exchange with this Karuna hoping another series of raids lasting unimaginable days and nights would break this Raja and the break the story of 45 minutes to fame.

The tapes and public-politico jugalbandhi by Puneet Rajhans
The tapes and public-politico jugalbandhi by Puneet Rajhans
Now this is an official confirmation coming from an official skyrocketed to the rank of Chairman who has sounded his concern and commotion on all that is happening and disappearing before us. The HDFC Chairman is known to speak his mind at a level not in variance with the mind of the establishment. The mind with which he spoke about the ruthlessness of the establishment to tap radia's phones for over two years was in complete variance with the minds he wanted to draw their attention to.
The two-year phone tap period he talked about was essentially a period when any layman can trip or stray; what to talk about radia or him. Considering the working conditions she worked under and the taxing deadlines she was pulled towards, the act of straying was inevitable. This growth story can't be allowed to fritter away under the assumption that this radia has frittered her chances to tap the potential the system offered as her tapes became too public to be brushed aside.
The sum and substance of his observation is that the growth story has suffered irreparable damage and to begin with the upheaval can be easily felt and heard. The beginning can be traced to the phone conversations which would now stand to be shaken. What to talk about intimate conversations even the official talks would be trimmed to the least desirable level and in most cases if possible avoided.
The tapping has set the stage for movers and shakers to lie low and let the sidestepped and non functioning government departments to secure a new lease of life. It also sets the stage for the postal department to get up and running and the amount of post they would be handling in the near and not so near future would be unimaginable. Since most phone conversations would cease to exist with all official and intimate communique to be done through post, with the ascent on the posts handled by the P&T department. Because posts sent through private courier would be subjected to checks and balances of unknown nature. Once the postal department would reach its peak, it would spell the premature greying of the cell operators and cell beneficiaries. The thrust to the telecom industry would be a thing of the past and so would be the advertising driven revenues which till now was having a blast.
As for the e mail factor this snooping has led a body blow to this form of communication as well.The same story would be true for other sectors as communication done through post would take its own sweet time leading to the decision to be taken spilling over to the next financial year.
The recruitment in the telecom and related sectors would fall to its lowest level and so would the urge of the corporates to hire lobbyists at an all-time low. Mind you we are not predicting the entire wipe out of the exercise. As for lobbyists and those hailing and hiring them would begin to disappear, the all powerful meeting ground, notably the five star property, would see cessation of activities. The room occupancy would fall to an all-time low and so would the footfalls at different malls and malls declared parking halls.
The multiplier effect would be truly and completely felt and with cessation of activities in all functioning areas of new economy there would be one institution that would remain truly and completely insulated. It is Indian Parliament with the same bench strength, same faces and same pit. After all democracy is the springboard which provides if not lifetime but occasional employment when panchayat, civic, assembly and parliament polls come and hold. As corporates see a clear and present danger to their establishment as tapping is one bold move that has set a precedent for similar moves to be made by bolder-than-believed government of the braves. So polls or no polls the politico-public jugalbandhi would continue in the same untamed flavour. After all snooping is the power that the govt is blessed with to lend a new lease of life to its departments that have been lying idle and with no mandate.

Is Raid Ki Goonj by Puneet Rajhans
Is Raid Ki Goonj by Puneet Rajhans
Not the nature of raids and the persons on whom the RBI-turned-CBI sleuths swooped on this week and the previous one that ruffled this Karunanidhi's feathers. This Karuna maintained that Alarming and Antagonising (both rolled in one) was the timing of the raid and the duration it lasted. Considering the lost-and-traced tribe on the radar of investigators were the first one to step out early morning from their homes to wrap up daily purchases as being out of bounds from the world at large was the price to be paid when sleuths attempted to park themselves at their place. More disgusting as Karuna maintained was the repeated efforts of the intruders-turned-investigators of premier investigation agency to spell out their set of demands before they stepped out of their office to step in office-cum-residences that were to be raided.
As these intruders of the past recently crowned as the investigators of the present parked themselves for hours turning to days it brought out the import of the exercise before them but what did not come out were the hours tossed between waking and working hours. For a sizeable party that came knocking at the doorsteps a sizeable part of stay was spent snoring elaborately followed by elaborate stomach filling. The wandering folks in between broke wind and broke cushions and cutleries to get to the bottom of the case. Settled at the bottom of the heap for the investigators the bottom of the case eluded them but not eluding the grilled janata was the sustained slander campaign on incriminating documents of intimidating nature that were seized and to be preserved till eternity.
I as Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu doubling as the indispensable ally of UPA aloo take offence to this tale of incrimination and intimidation. Let me set the record straight. This Raja resigned more than a month ago setting the stage for raids and reverberations to take its normal course. I drafted the letter of resignation which this Raja resisted till the last moment. The CBI was in no mood/ order to deliver taking a leaf from Parliament's repeated adjournment disorder. It took more than three weeks for CBI to get its house in order to reach this Raja's house and fix the prevailing disorder. Tightlipped which the CBI was all these months it began to open its lips by boasting of incriminating documents seized and preserved after every such visible raid. In effect what is in their possession is the intimate pictures of intimate moments truly reflected through exchange of letters between past, present and prospective flames. How could this be incriminating when the intimacy between interested parties had been vibrating?
Not stopping at heaps of incrimination hurled at him and his family, this Karuna continued further by stating that when he is destined to appropriate myself as the longest serving King of the South, the Cong wants to play a spoilsport. By suggesting the inappropriate response of 2008-2009 would be addressed with more than desired appropriateness in 2010-11, i am in entire agreement with the Opposition that had the Cong-led govt at the centre appropriately responded to this scam then and there itself desired results would have flown much earlier eventually leading to delivery of desired results in the ensuing assembly polls. THis Centre's bomshell is no match for the bombshell i am going to drop.
The one-page statement released from Karuna's stable: " As a matter of fact Karuna and Amma in a fitting response to more than desired response of Cong at Centre have appropriately decided to contest polls as fractured entities to be assembled as one entity post polls with the CM's chair on a rotation basis. Disjointed at polls to be restored as one soul post polls is our way to check appropriate levels of impropriety that Cong has repeatedly engaged in. THis contractual agreement between the two Dravidian blocks is commensurate with none holding a tea party for any grouping in the foreseeable future."
For political watchers who ate and slept politics day in day out what was baffling was how could this Amma share stage with that Karuna. In the interdependent world we live in and the intimacy we share with friends and foes the Parliament House getting in order is more appropriate than letting the institution of CBI go past disorder and target and annihilate those whose bench strength in the Lower House is not intimidating. A bench strength of close to 40 MPs (ADMK, DMK AND Other appearing disappearing groups in the State)would be intimidating enough to check the Cong-directed CBI from declaring the quantum of documents seized as incriminating and intimidating when in effect they were pictures of intimacy preserved for posterity.
Another riposte to the intruders-turned-investigators from Karuna was : "The multiple raids by multiple agencies involving multiple intruders would have a multiplier effect on the polity of the nation. The arithmetic of those for and against Cong's continuance at the CEntre may not change for now but what is in store is the drastic change that this charge of the RBI-turned-CBI may bring in. "Is Raid Ki Goonj Door Tak Jayegi." To which the Cong rebuttal was " Is desh ke itihash mein na kabhi aisa Raja hua hai or na hoga. From Executive, Legislature, Judiciary to the Fourth Estate Is Raja ne apna ehsas sab ko karaye. Aise ehsas ki bhi kya zaroorat jo hamari zaroorato ko na pura karein."
Few months later Amma and Karuna met at the house warming party entirely different from the tea triggered paparazzi out to decide on the next course for Raja whose membership to any party in the state had ceased to exist. Of all the institutions that our Raja has touched upon and teared apart one office that has remained untouched and immune has been the President's one. Details are yet to emerge on the possible fallout from Raja's possible positioning for Raisina Hills. Perhaps this was the Goonj that Karuna-who-could-never-be-Katrina was talking about.

Cong Chief's address and growth story by Puneet Rajhans
After having full cream milk shake, details were handed out on Cong chief's address to Cong Parliamentary Party (CPP)on Monday by now again visible Abhishek. THough Abhishek had been lying low ever since his fascination for lottery could not go slow, the time had come for this Abhishek to come out of his den and make public all that the Cong chief had spoken and sensed.
The Cong chief thundered: " Since Nov 9 and for 23 precise sittings, Parliament has not functioned. The entire blame lies at the doorsteps of opposition since they have shut all doors to negotiate and all windows to infiltrate. On corruption we need to reach a common ground lest one side stands vindicated and other side stands emancipated."
THe Cong Chief as per records available with Abhishek spoke on corruption, JPC and economic growth. This Abhishek emphasised that on all three subjects that Chief spoke it was amidst thunderous applause and with no pause. In one stroke she dismissed allegations of corruption against Cong turning the tables on opposition by seeking a comprehensive JPC on what the opposition members were up to when Parliament was not functioning for 23 days. We would seek a complete report on where opposition members went and what acts of transgression they engaged in when they translocated from Parliament to undertake a session in their firmament .
For the never-experienced economic growth the sum and substance of her speech was like this. For every feat recorded corruption allegation is the price to pay; a price our predecessors paid and one which our successors can't shy away either. For the never-experienced economic growth the Cong, Conmen and common man are witness to the BJP's poor graft card is no match on us. We experience strong economic growth riding strong on strong economic stimulus and this turnaround story would not have been complete had the turnaround feats of our allies not been in place. For allies like DMK what they have done for us no ally in any prospective dispensation can do. On Raja Rant in the corridors of power, the piece of advice was Hail the Raja and Hail the Raja sheltered Praja precisely for underscoring the ranking of our nation state in the graft index that is released from global headquarters. At least the debate has been settled for now as no nation state can afford to usurp us from this position lest another Raja rules over not-so-enlightened Praja.

Liz Hurley (Aur kisi ka holay)-Shane Warne (Mein Naya Toofan) in a spot
Liz Hurley (Aur kisi ka holay)-Shane Warne (Mein Naya Toofan) in a spot
The public embrace was longest to date in the recorded and preserved history of the place they were discovered. It was a tight embrace between two individuals who wanted to explore each other in entirety in full public glare. Having noticed the surging interest and the deafening silence surrounding them, they stepped back and retired to their respective rooms. That was a story of one Liz Hurley (Aur kisi ka holay) talking about her split from her husband Arun Nayar and in continuation the story of another Shane Warne (Mein Naya Toofan) too talking about his split from his wife Simone Callahan.
Both Holay and Toofan maintained that a working relationship would be maintained with their estranged partners but with the new rock in their life they would seek a bedrock support that would last beyond days and nights.
The strong embrace in the public suggested a thing or two. How long the two longed for each other given the undiluted nature of the two to seek new frontiers. On umpteenth occasions they were in the kissing distance but not visible enough to bump into each other and wrap in an embrace of a lasting nature. Once in the solid and developing comfort of each other they would try to discover and rediscover each other till the thrust of more-than-desired discovery leads them to fall in spells of discomfort. For the moment snuggled in private moments they had a message for estranged partners or those on the verge of reaching this distinction that an entire world awaits you given the alarming appetite that is desired to be released by you.
Some maintained that Holay and Toofan's split from their partners had become impending and imminent the moment the two struggled to keep their snuggling moments away from public glare. Once the embrace had been established, chemistry defined and the proof of the same swiftly furnished, the two could not return to their respective homes claiming no intimacy had been established. Had the two's long lasting embrace not come in the public domain and no story out on their suite frame, the two would have returned to their homes with the belief that nothing had been discovered on their fishing expedition and continued with their vow to keep their marriages intact with permissible stray here and there.
Arun Nayar and Simone Callahan have been spared the ignominy of going through the rigours of divorce when this visible act of their partners would hand them separation plan on a platter.
As for the tweets from Holay and Toofan which came in close intervals, it cited the identical factors that they had split from partners long ago and it was time to explore new frontiers. Frontiers which paparazzi hadn't layed hands on and been out of their partners purview for long would have led the two lusty loners to lead a double life with no guilt trailing them.
As for those caught in the whirl of a cyber cafe, the nerworking they seek and the intimacy they establish is with a desire to explore what has remained unexplored so far. It may not take long for the likes of Holays and Toofans to seek new intimacy once the present floor exercise has been found to have run out of steam. For the moment the shine is there in their new relationship as one longs to reach other since lone spells are biting hard.

Some maintained that Holay and Toofan's split from their partners had become impending and imminent the moment the two struggled to keep their snuggling moments away from public glare. Once the embrace had been established, chemistry defined and the proof of the same swiftly furnished, the two could not return to their respective homes claiming no intimacy had been established. Had the two's long lasting embrace not come in the public domain and no story out on their suite frame, the two would have returned to their homes with the belief that nothing had been discovered on their fishing expedition and continued with their vow to keep their marriages intact with permissible stray here and there.
Arun Nayar and Simone Callahan have been spared the ignominy of going through the rigours of divorce when this visible act of their partners would hand them separation plan on a platter.
As for the tweets from Holay and Toofan which came in close intervals, it cited the identical factors that they had split from partners long ago and it was time to explore new frontiers. Frontiers which paparazzi hadn't layed hands on and been out of their partners purview for long would have led the two lusty loners to lead a double life with no guilt trailing them.
As for those caught in the whirl of a cyber cafe, the nerworking they seek and the intimacy they establish is with a desire to explore what has remained unexplored so far. It may not take long for the likes of Holays and Toofans to seek new intimacy once the present floor exercise has been found to have run out of steam. For the moment the shine is there in their new relationship as one longs to reach other since lone spells are biting hard.
The spat that could have dimmed the tapes of radia
Two entities of the Hindi Heartland were engaged in a verbal duel that the political firmament has not for years seen. Azam Khan and Amar Singh have been sniping at each other with a ferocious pace that has never been witnessed and recorded in the Hindi Heartland. This spat the two are truly engaged in threatens once nadia and now radia tapes to take a back seat and the personalities she embraced and enslaved to a seat not visible from any angle.
Well we saw the Mulayam-lost-and-retrieved-Azam at his best when he joined the party and the stage that was raised for his homecoming, but more coming in droves were other palpable threats to the Red Radia Fort that media had begun to take interest in. Here this Azam broke his silence and the silence of the party whose membership card he misplaced over a year ago and there was that Amar retreated to a shell with no hopes of recovery in the coming spell. The regret is over the timing of this spat. More importantly for the suppliers lobby who operated from den with no force on earth which could trace their operations this spat truly throws light on suppliers and assets they are saddled with. The last time we heard about Suppliers Group and how demanding they were to the Indian establishment was the Nuclear Suppliers Group. This time under scrutiny are a different set of suppliers.
Mind you, the range of suppliers and the range of commodities they supply in the political sphere has led to a truncated supply to other territories. As the tale on 2G has not been told in entirety given the voluminous 6000 phone calls and spates of clarification some argued that this truly deserved to be relegated to a background as another set of suppliers had begun to arm twist the establishment.
This Anthony-dropped Amar was the first to clear the air on who had the potential to be Sarkari Mehman at government jails. He thundered : "If i come out with all details on what i supplied and withheld during my stay and efforts to stay in SP aligned with attempts to cross over to Cong which never happened, the SP leader would be the first to cool his heels in the govt patronised jails." Azam dismissed this as an empty threat of amar and a way to eventually buy his way to the SP establishment.
Azam clarified that Amar had been supplying more than their required mandate; the supply essentially began from tents, helicopters, washing dishes and so on and so forth. Soon this supply took a new form which no leader in our party could say no. Known the world over to supply happiness and spread happiness the leaders in our party defying age and gravity performed beyond expectations. Now this Amar is seeking compensation for all that had been supplied and dispensed with. The bills coming from his side are exorbitant and so exorbitant are his nature of demands that if not settled he would see to it that we are resettled in govt guest houses.
For now all govt guest houses are overflowing and less overflowing is the supply of materials to them. So the govt can't afford to book us in this overflowing pits. As for the bills the audit panel in our party would look into it and appropriate payments would be released at an appropriate time if the non existent member takes the tales of fish and fishing pond to the party he hopes to launch. AS for us, the quantum of supply to us is enough and long lasting given no Anthony-dropped Amar is at the helm.

Winding airlines and Tamil script by Puneet Rajhans
Winding airlines and Tamil script by Puneet Rajhans
Some time back in Chennai while leaving for Chennai Mofussil Bus Terminus the interaction with a gentleman who had boarded a Kingfisher flight from Bhubaneswar led to breaking of news which had not been broken on air so far on the ails that dogged this airlines and the ailments that management suffered and never reported to the authorities concerned. Stopping nothing short of suggesting winding up the airlines for the services it offered and disappeared with and the agony that visited the passengers who ever made a decision to board this airline.
This was a time when the airlines across board hadn't revealed their intent to jack up their air tariffs soon after Diwali as the traffic now is more than what they had anticipated on ground and air effectively suggesting prices have to go up and up. Fishing in more than desired troubled water, this Kingfisher has ruffled more than a few feathers, with the reasoning coming from their side that demand-supply mechanism would determine prices as has been the practice all over the world. Suggesting no relaxation can be exercised the liquor king wants relaxation as far as clearing airport dues is concerned.
Suggesting that DElhi-Shimla tariff would approximately come at Rs 10,833(Wednesday)it should be the preferred way to reach the destination given the amount of unaccounted wealth that floats in the society. On radar of Kingfisher is the right mix of people who have never revealed their income potential and repeatedly faced with limited avenues to blow up. Well one Raja has departed and it is time for this King to depart with all fishes he has on board.
The charts that different airlines have come out post DGCA order are too complex and cumbersome. It doesn't clear the air and break the puzzle. Approximately hovering between 12 to 18 basic fare levels for each route it would take ages for some to make sense and get the proportionate tariff in place. At least for now it doesn't seem happening.
What looks happenning is the floating traffic would revert to trains and for the much-desired air fares lobbyists-cum-journos would take the wings. Perhaps some seats could be reserved for foreign agents out to make fast buck in the muck that abound around us.
As for DGCA they are as helpless as the CBI sleuths who after raiding this Raja have the temerity to declare that some sizeable incriminating documents have been seized from his home penned in Tamil-cum-Mandarin. To break this Tamil-Mandarin nexus a request for an entire workforce from China has been placed. Probably they would be here post Wen's visit when stapled visas would continue to be an issue to be sorted out in the next issue based meeting between WEn and Manmohan.

Walk the Trap: From this Ratan to that Rajeev by Puneet Rajhans
Walk the Trap: From this Ratan to that Rajeev by Puneet Rajhans
The space taken by this Rajeev Chandrashekhar's letter to that Ratan Tata and that Ratan's rebuttal to this Rajeev is unimaginable if you look at Page 16 of our very own Prime of India. A full page Delhi Jal Board ad had been finalised for this page but given the recovery of booty from the house of a DJB employee two days ago the deal fell through. The paper had no option but to chide the two corporate members-turned-letter writers on the need to write such extensive letters and get it prominently displayed in the prime daily of the Capital. The wealth of information the two have on each other is now out in the open. No one had the time and opportunity to go through the content of the letters the two wrote to each other on different dates, in fact Rajeev writing one more and that too on a different date.
It has portions from which an extensive debate can be carried out in the print-forgotten-electronic-enslaved media, probably featuring on its panel the Vitriolic Sharma (some suggest he tries to take the debate to a new low)and least tolerable Sugalta Seth (his open threats to other panelists are his trademark). This is essentially to do with Ratan's emphasis that some members of the media need to do some introspection and soul searching on whether they are serving the masters or public. Introspection they have refrained from doing so and soul searching towards which they never made an attempt as they were busy tearing the souls of all those who wanted to play big overlooking their interests. Probably the journos are masters in their own right and Ratan's plea for introspection is essentially to question the need for these journos to be in line with once-nadia-and-now-radia entity day in and day out.
AS This Ratan has maintained that Radia was doing her job, the intent never suspect, it was intrusion by the more-than-interested journos that led her to stray. Had she been strictly in line with the brief handed by the corporates she would have never strayed and never been in line with these journos on day to day basis. THese journos have brought her down and brought down all possibilities of communication with her. It is the mind boggling transition the journos attempted to have through this radia that finally led to her mind boggling interaction with the ED leading to a line where she was supposed to spell her side of the story and the story the journos repeatedly refused to do.
As this Ratan has spoken about that Rajeev parking himself at Taj Mahal Hotel in pursuit of his agenda, this essentially is in response to that Rajeev speaking about the conduct and performance of Tata of late which is entirely under dispute given the oath of transparency and transition the TATA GROUP took. Probably the Prime of India in not at fault.
What is at fault is the walk the trap invite where guests willingly walk into a trap to talk their heart out. The walk the trap invite opened floodgates as this corporate honcho expressed more than he would have desired leading to a series of letters and litany of complaints from near and-not-so-near ones. Had he kept the lid on estranged ties with the media and musclemen, perhaps no paper on earth would have carried the letter in toto which also brings out in open that this Ratan for the moment is out of bounds to sew another deal and that Rajeev with no House session is idling away his time. Perhaps the expertise of the two on letter writing is also out in the open. What is not out in the open in the exchange between the two is the tamil entries in the diary seized from this Raja's Kingdom which apart from his financial pursuits also talks at length on the laxatives he has been taking in view of the sleepless nights he has been having ever since that Nadia-turned-Radia stopped taking his calls and on a continued basis been in line with firangi players to figure out the nature of raids and nature of meals that CBI sleuths take when they pay you a visit.
As for some other thing that is not out in the open is the different invites that stare the two honchos once House returns to a functioning and delivery session and Ratan returns to the country taking this opportunity to declare again his unsuccessful foray into some other sector apart from aviation as down payment demanded by the establishment was beyond your and mine imagination. Against this declaration if this corporate honcho doggedly refuses to walk into the trap the heat won't be on him and on the paper to carry the letter in true letter and spirit. After all who doesn't want to take a look at the Delhi Jal Board full page Ad featuring the vacancies that have come up under their stable and the attributes they are looking for. After all this Rs 50 lakh that DJB employee, serving as Upper Division Clerk, stored at home is no small feat and truly reflects the potential this sector has for you and me.

KAL KI KHABAR: The Radia tapes and sustainability
KAL KI KHABAR: The Radia tapes and sustainability
The Asian Age, Jisko Log Deccan Chronicle Ke Naam Se Jante Hai in the South, has on its Dec 5 edition one story detailing the Radia-cum-Nadia Ki Naughty Harkate featuring the pictures of newsmakers who have ceased to write columns for the time being with the promise that their columns would be restored once employers are convinced enough that there is an urgent need to restore them as tape-triggered controversy has receded to history. Employers and their followers are also supposed to come out with this plea later that the publication which comes on a sustained seven day basis can't sustain itself in their absence given the sustainable nature of ideas these sustainable columns have been throwing for a sustained period.
This story of sustainability and substance is followed by another sustained campaign on Page 7 where one Antaryami Kumar is going ballistic on other party Cong for its declining imprints in view of BJP's uprising upheaval in the Hindi Heartland. His tete-a-tete is all about numbers and opportunities. Beginning with the plea that the number of days that the Cong-led Government has at its disposal are numbered as the number of occasions when the BJP has swung back to power after every poll reverse are unimaginable and unforeseen. A case of tales more than numerically strong etched in memory for long. The verdict from his stable: " No such luck awaits the over 100-year-old party."
The number of occasions when the BJP has staged a comeback is one that the Cong can't even imagine. Unimaginable are the possibilities for the BJP to get to the centrestage and demolish those who want to demolish the 2G probe. Taking this argument of number game further, he said apart from the days of the Cong-led government being numbered, the days of Cong office in Akbar Road are also numbered for the property tax it hasn't paid for years and the water and power bills it hasn't cleared in record time.
This Kumar too spoke about Greater NDA Idea and the identified and not-visible-now forces that would take the Greater Idea to its logical end. Sustaining the dialogue he sustained his focus on the Sushan of NItish Kumar and Sushil Modi and how it was unparallel in the State of Bihar much to be differentiated from the State of Gujarat. Speaking about waterloo and other loos, this Kumar took potshots at that Rahul and the loos that abound around their set-ups. He detailed the functioning loos in the BJP headquarters and places where the party has visible presence. "THe loos in the Cong HQs have not been in working condition for long and precisely for this very reason the translocation of bigwigs from Cong to BJP looks inevitable, giving more credence to the numbered days of Cong and its headquarters."
Asked about Once Nadia And Now Radia tapes and the alleged involvement of NDA workforce, this Kumar had this to say: " You want to shift the focus from the bigwigs of Indian journalism who are not comfortable with taking a well deserved break.

THe Radia-Nadia tapes Part 2 by Puneet Rajhans
THe Radia-Nadia tapes Part 2
At a marriage function in Nagpur which was simple beyond imagination for the sumptuous meals it brought on table, it was hosted by one seasoned politico hailing from Maharashtra. There were a bunch of congmen making sustained efforts to intrude (it is a season of intrusion and invasion) and finally having succeeded in doing so had a sustained agenda before themselves. Settled in one corner they were there to try the 70 preparations on offer as well as probe the possible fallout and wipeout from Nadia-cum-Radia tapes that had engaged the conscience of the public at large.
After Batata head, the Radia too was seething with anger and aggression over her privacy being violated. Though details are not out yet over her filing a petition to her violation of right to privacy and persuasion, insiders in her camp claimed she has every right to seek justice to the series of injustices perpetrated on her and her followers by tapping phones and then bringing all this in full public domain during day when everyone is alive and kicking.
THe bunch of congmen congregated there to have meals and private moments contended that her contention that conversation she has been having ever since she descended on Indian soil, freed from firangi connections, is of a nature that never reduces her to be a fringe player, always upfront in her demands and aspirations.
The mandate she secured once having reached INdia in sound mental and physical health was to make her way to the establishment with more than desired help from bakras and fakirs; the possible and visible roots to the all and mighty. Having reached INdia, the first piece of information she secured was the print and electronic media were in a state of transition, where all and sundry were being brought down from elevated corridors of power by journos rich in jockeying for power. In the columns and debates they discovered the springboard which would help them express their intent and intent of those whom they worked for beyond duty hours.
It was a stage in India's political fabric when the lower house had a clear and present danger of being exposed to the failure of not completing its tenure; some rocked by tea parties and some rocked by Left's intransigent demands for more lolipops. Apart from policy decisions, the Radia's mandate was to see a stable govt take office with a ring of stability that ensured the stability of old policies with no hijacking by one industrial house or the other. THe early morning chats that she moved with were essentially on how she could maintain this stability and silence the opponents. THese chats covered a wide range of political-cum-business issues all in public interest with the all-important mandate of lending the one Dravidian family and its extended members a string of surprises. Her source of concern and contention was the country had played too long for one dynasty to prosper; it was time for a Dynasty From South to take wings. As she batted for this Dynasty From South, the journos heeded her call and the call from their conscience that something urgent needed to be done to see the old arrangement of 2004-09 continue beyond 2009. AS A Raja took office which he demitted later after having spoken to B Karunanidhi as desired by C Radia, the blame was placed at the doors of these journos for not seeing the avalanche of redfaced Radia baiters.
The sab sukh bhognewale bakras and fakirs, all rolled in one, maintained that what they pursued and whom they persuaded was in line with the mandate given to them. THe mandate was to seek and restore the line of communication with a select few who had the ability to bring a radical change in their lifestyle and life agendas.
As for now all of them are cocooned in their empire trying to figure out the short duration they have been told to stay and melt away and hit the accelerator later with a ferocity not seen before. After all it is in the nature of the mandate given by those who employ them to seek a Stable Centre and a Stable State; the sort of longevity they have aspired for themselves and for their string of followers who tail around them. After all a Stable Centre and a Stable State is the Pukar of the aam janata and fakirs and bakras are in pursuit of this since India gained freedom from licence raj.
Few days later the same group again congregated at an entirely different function to spell the state of affairs. They maintained that moderating and column writing is still continuing with no break reaffirming the belief among aam janata that the proys and subbus of this sector are too tainted to let any action come on the tainted journos. Perhaps the booty has been equally and proportionately shared. And the tainted journos are in the know of things that if brougth out the empires of Kasturbas and Archanas would begin to crumble. Perhaps the eyeballs these ps and ss are looking for their establishment stems from the fact that as long as journos-turned-newmakers continue to figure in their ideas they would never be short of a new audience.
The congregated lot even dismissed the argument of Sardar of Indian Journalism as one Hindi Paper had it that all journos in this episode are above board. Perhaps his range of interaction with loyalists and lobbyists would have been much deeper and strangulating when he operated.
This was the considered view of the intruded lot in the Nagpur gathering and other gathering and post meals and post messages shared and delivered they were on to the task of finding out on how the momentum on 2G and 2JOurnos could be shifted. Again the considered view was considering the consideration that Vijay Hazare gave to Vijay Merchant when Cricket India was playing against Cricket Pakistan, this Vijay told that Vijay that we need to take a run. Considering the consideration that this Vijay gave to that Vijay they ultimately decided to take this consideration beyond considered level and attempted to take a run. In pursuit of this consideration they faltered and fled. THat is the considered consensus that 2Js need to flee and this is precisely the aam janata's urgent plea.

THe bunch of congmen congregated there to have meals and private moments contended that her contention that conversation she has been having ever since she descended on Indian soil, freed from firangi connections, is of a nature that never reduces her to be a fringe player, always upfront in her demands and aspirations.
The mandate she secured once having reached INdia in sound mental and physical health was to make her way to the establishment with more than desired help from bakras and fakirs; the possible and visible roots to the all and mighty. Having reached INdia, the first piece of information she secured was the print and electronic media were in a state of transition, where all and sundry were being brought down from elevated corridors of power by journos rich in jockeying for power. In the columns and debates they discovered the springboard which would help them express their intent and intent of those whom they worked for beyond duty hours.
It was a stage in India's political fabric when the lower house had a clear and present danger of being exposed to the failure of not completing its tenure; some rocked by tea parties and some rocked by Left's intransigent demands for more lolipops. Apart from policy decisions, the Radia's mandate was to see a stable govt take office with a ring of stability that ensured the stability of old policies with no hijacking by one industrial house or the other. THe early morning chats that she moved with were essentially on how she could maintain this stability and silence the opponents. THese chats covered a wide range of political-cum-business issues all in public interest with the all-important mandate of lending the one Dravidian family and its extended members a string of surprises. Her source of concern and contention was the country had played too long for one dynasty to prosper; it was time for a Dynasty From South to take wings. As she batted for this Dynasty From South, the journos heeded her call and the call from their conscience that something urgent needed to be done to see the old arrangement of 2004-09 continue beyond 2009. AS A Raja took office which he demitted later after having spoken to B Karunanidhi as desired by C Radia, the blame was placed at the doors of these journos for not seeing the avalanche of redfaced Radia baiters.
The sab sukh bhognewale bakras and fakirs, all rolled in one, maintained that what they pursued and whom they persuaded was in line with the mandate given to them. THe mandate was to seek and restore the line of communication with a select few who had the ability to bring a radical change in their lifestyle and life agendas.
As for now all of them are cocooned in their empire trying to figure out the short duration they have been told to stay and melt away and hit the accelerator later with a ferocity not seen before. After all it is in the nature of the mandate given by those who employ them to seek a Stable Centre and a Stable State; the sort of longevity they have aspired for themselves and for their string of followers who tail around them. After all a Stable Centre and a Stable State is the Pukar of the aam janata and fakirs and bakras are in pursuit of this since India gained freedom from licence raj.
Few days later the same group again congregated at an entirely different function to spell the state of affairs. They maintained that moderating and column writing is still continuing with no break reaffirming the belief among aam janata that the proys and subbus of this sector are too tainted to let any action come on the tainted journos. Perhaps the booty has been equally and proportionately shared. And the tainted journos are in the know of things that if brougth out the empires of Kasturbas and Archanas would begin to crumble. Perhaps the eyeballs these ps and ss are looking for their establishment stems from the fact that as long as journos-turned-newmakers continue to figure in their ideas they would never be short of a new audience.
The congregated lot even dismissed the argument of Sardar of Indian Journalism as one Hindi Paper had it that all journos in this episode are above board. Perhaps his range of interaction with loyalists and lobbyists would have been much deeper and strangulating when he operated.
This was the considered view of the intruded lot in the Nagpur gathering and other gathering and post meals and post messages shared and delivered they were on to the task of finding out on how the momentum on 2G and 2JOurnos could be shifted. Again the considered view was considering the consideration that Vijay Hazare gave to Vijay Merchant when Cricket India was playing against Cricket Pakistan, this Vijay told that Vijay that we need to take a run. Considering the consideration that this Vijay gave to that Vijay they ultimately decided to take this consideration beyond considered level and attempted to take a run. In pursuit of this consideration they faltered and fled. THat is the considered consensus that 2Js need to flee and this is precisely the aam janata's urgent plea.

Clearing The Air on Radia Red Tapes: A No Show by Puneet Rajhans
Clearing The Air on Radia Red Tapes: A No Show by Puneet Rajhans
The debate/dissection convergence and divergence of views in the Naya Daur Television (NYDTV) didn't take us anywhere. Lasted for 45 minutes (it would have gone further had the viewers not sent feedback to wrap it up or we will wrap you up), the longest to date with no break, the panel had four college buddies or having studied in the proximity of one college or the other, Dileep, Sanjay, Manu and Swapan. They were there to let the GE clear the air on the bouquets she received for speaking repeatedly to one Radia for days together and following this with shutting all lines of communication with another Radia for other number of days and brickbats she received for not putting in her script for TV or print what conspired between them and what they aspired for. Calm and composed the foursome were never in the picture howsoever hard they would have tried . THe sample of debate illustrates that at no point of time they raked up the cash or any other favour exchanged during conversation that this Radia had with that GE; in fact GE herself brought it up much to her consternation.
Of the lot on panel and in proximity (those not visible to the naked eye and holding the board saying that one minute was all that was left) the best was yet to come and never came from foursome as they kept a lot of ideas and questions to themselves when they saw GE repeated threat to take the debate to a different level where the discourse would have been on media ethics which was not what they had gathered for and gone for under single unbreakable roof. The one who was supposed to clear the air appeared to be losing cool and weeping was the probable next act to follow. The moderator was no good. The moderator could be faulted for not sensitising GE that of all things she should not let emotions get better of her.
The discourse/debate finally ended as one measuring the emotional quotient with four college buddies betraying no emotions for better part as they had no answers in their grip and GE and moderator leaving the audience with nothing to brood over. Just to brood over that this act of dissection should have been avoided in the first place.
The high point of the debate, well there were none, some remnants of that could be traced later were: manu ready to take lessons from the high profile celebrated writer once the Kasturba Times assignments are over; a lobbyist is entitled to lobby between two political parties as long as as her monthly phone records and bills can be traced and managed; the other editors of other channels not being contacted by this radia as she slept the entire night and operated in the early morning hours only; of manu repeatedly telling the writer-cum-moderator that she hasn't answered her first question since she has been busy writing the Kasturba Times assignments (the error of judgement of 2009 to be repeated in 2010); of Sanjay's repeated assertion that he would like to take this debate from where he left in CNN EyeBeenNone that in their attempt to do stories and gauge the flow the media honchos speak to a variety of people with varied interest. The soft line he was prepared to go with. Who he wants to fool? THe N Rams and A Shouries have set the record straight.
This programme should not have been aired in the first place as the celebrated writer has been busy with her Kasturba Times and moderating assignments. At no point it cleared anything except make a shrinking tribe skip meals and their much-deserved sleep.This was an orchestrated attempt from their stable and more are to follow later .
The aftereffects were some reporting high temperatures and some seeing a revolt in their tummy. Shame on the print and electronic media to continue with the same arrangement with their dogged refusal to come clean
