The Bearded Usain Bolt - Baba Ramdev


To all the lesser mortals, Baba was not running and panting it was a nationwide release of a new asana, kapalabhati on the move. Well with all due respect to Baba the UPA actually did make Baba discover some new dimensions. It provided him with a rare opportunity to try out a non-saffron coloured ‘dress’ also Baba with all the Yogasanas will obviously have a lot of time to spend on earth and hence has never been seen in hurry till now, good work UPA.

Kapil Sibal the successor of our dearest HRD minister Arjun Singh went through all the hardships viz- chartered jet, five star hotel, press coverage, to appease Baba but to no avail, he proved quite adamant. That was one mistake however which Baba committed, he took it as a Dogfight while it should have been taken as Dogfighting instead. Lokpal Bill where it all started has taken the pillion seat it seems but nonetheless the agitation of the Delhi police did cement the friendship between Baba & Anna. Although looking at Anna’s advanced age i suppose Anna himself would have realised that he would require the friendship of Baba to be chirayu. They say Great men make great mistakes and they also say Boys become men only after committing mistakes, well it seems either our turbanator is on his way to greatness or becoming a man, politically. With the backfiring decision of lathi charge on the Baba brigade the Great Indian PM Pizza has just started being baked desi bereft of any Italian Dressing in it.

The verbose Digvijay Singh has raised his gold laden finger on Baba being over qualified for a sanyasi and called him a businessman. It has been made to look as if the fight for the Lokpal Bill and the return of Black Money is a part of Corporate Social Responsibility(CSR) of Baba’s empire. The patanjali Yoga peeth is being questioned for their assets while so many fellow comrades of Diggy Raja are under question. The CBI enquiry of the trust is more of a school boy revenge rather than an issue of national importance.  Even if such is the case the CSR did give the UPA a run for their money and to Switzerland at that. We might in future see the bi party system in India, the Democratic Anna Party and the Ramdev Republican Party, who will u vote???

The Smoothest Move Ever


Well it has been three weeks since i came to this place with the overhead oven, i refer the sun here only to underline the heat so no colourful thoughts please. Although the transformation took a bit of time but now i have adopted the colours of the place well. They say don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time well i got to know of this way after i had taken the only tangible step to becoming an engineer, IIT-JEE, any way we’ll skip the unpleasantaries here.

So there i was in Inox for some tantalising pleasures to my gluttony and to my eyes. And then i saw them sitting pretty like tiny specks of vanilla in Belgian chocolate (flavours only please). A look was enough to tell me that the guy was an I-Banker, earns big money, had a joint family and yes, a north Indian. Well even on a weekend he had his Bluetooth head set on enough to tell that the guy could be one of those being grilled big time by bigger firms for even bigger money. No two (out of 4) of his family members looked like they can be put together on a two-wheeler implies big money. North Indian was obvious and i’ll get to the joint family in just a while. Since my action movie was not for another 45 minutes compounded with the sadly persistent fact that i was alone, i decided to watch this family movie. Well i went and sat at the table just opposite to them and it was then when i saw something which rendered me with the only option of sitting down and crossing my legs to avoid the embarrassment. The uncle must have had a tough week in the office and i guess for the whole week bed only proved for him to be a sleeping place. Any way an insect sat on the auntie’s shoulder, the uncle seized it, the mosquito as well as the opportunity. The tiny thing demanded only a second’s attention but time stood frozen for uncle it seemed. I guess at that moment we both were admiring the fact that auntie had been endowed a bit too amply by the almighty. Well with a move that was too smooth to be humanly possible, his hand slid all the way down from her shoulder to her side and finally found solace in her lap. It would have been morally wrong for me to sit there for any longer and hence i got up to leave immediately. I couldn’t help but to smile on the fact that the children would have a hard time to sleep peacefully that night...

**the joint family thing was more of an intuition than reasoning.
