Its Politics !

It has been quite an eventful months in Indian politics. And after being subjected to all the weird quotes and developments, I do have some queries. Anna Hazare’s anti-corruption movement notwithstanding, I have certain other questions

• Who will retire first L.K. Advani or Rahul Dravid?
• Which is doing better? The inflation or the anti-corruption movement?
• So is Congress the natural party of governance or natural party of stagnace?
• If BJP is afraid of announcing a PM candidate, isn’t Rahul Gandhi a chicken too?
• Are Raj Thackeray and Uddhav Thackeray still friends?
• Is there any committee in the world that Sharad Pawar can’t be chairman of?

• Any intelligence on the next terrorist attack on Mumbai?
• Is democracy top-down or bottom-up ? Or is it a 5 yearly poll?
• Who is responsible for appointing these horrendous faces and mouths as Congress spokespersons?
• Air - 2G, Earth- Bellary mines, Fire-Bofors, Water ?? ...Any scam related to water to cover all the elements?
• Now that West Bengal is Poschim Bongo, is Maharashtra interested in being called Marathwada ? Is Goa going be Gomantak soon? Is Rajasthan shifting to Rajputana?

And this is just an observation from The Week That Wasn’t on IBN . Sushma Swaraj has more expressions in a single speech than half a dozen hindi film actresses put together. I respect that. Honest. ♪♫
