Jai Sri Ram!

A good friend of mine(Mukesh Kachroo), just send me this funny thing, so thought of sharing with you all.



Sri Rama surveyed the Ramsetu and said, "Hanuman, how diligently you and your vanara sena built this bridge. How remarkable that it has withstood the ravages of time, considering that a bridge at Hyderabad built by Gammon using the latest technology collapsed the other day even before they could stick posters on its pillars."

Hanuman said humbly, "Lord, it is because of your grace. We just wrote your name on the rocks and threw them into the sea and they held up. No steel or cement was used. But Lord, why rake it up now?"Said Rama, "Well, Hanuman, some people down there want to demolish your bridge and construct a canal. The contract involves lots of money They will make money on demolition and more money on construction."

Hanuman asked, "Why don't we go down and present our case?"

"No," said Rama, "Times have changed. Historians will ask us to submit proof of our existence. Do we have a birth certificate, a school-leaving certificate or a driving license? As for address proof, the fact that I was born at Ayodhya is itself under litigation for over half a century. If I go dressed as usual, the ordi- nary people may recognise me but politicians will take me to be a lost Ramlila actor."

"But I built it! I'll swear on oath!"

"My dear Anjaniputra, it will not work. They will ask you to produce the layout plan, the project details like financial outlay, how the project cost was met and the completion certificate. They may even want to see your engineering college degree."

"Lord, I don't understand. You have given darshan regularly to 'historical' figures like Surdas, Thyagaraja, Jayadeva and Tukaram, yet people disbelieve your existence? Should we replay the Ramayana on earth to set the government record straight?"

The Lord smiled. "It won't happen. Ravana is terrified that Karunanidhi will make a saint of him. And his mama Mareecha, who appeared as the golden deer to tempt Sita, refuses to step on earth for fear of Bollywood hunters. Let it be."

deal is DEAD

finally the ball has been dropped. Its now a fact that Indo-US nuclear will not go ahead. after showing all the courage, congress party finally gave in. this makes me think that after all, personal greed gets so high that people forget about nation at all. today we're riding on 8-9% growth rate, which means future is good, but how are we gonna survive at this rate without the energy security. Or are we (oooopsss... i mean the left parties of India) thinking about to repeat china mistake and blacken our skies overnight by using coal based energy.

frankly speaking, i have never been a congress supporter. I have always experienced that congress party is one of the most corrupt parties in India (which doesn't mean other parties are not) and also one of the parties which has always landed India into mess. but for some reason, i started developing some respect for Manmohan Singh and Congress party as how they made a stand against left. but in the end, its the same story repeated again and again.

Left parties are still day dreaming that one day they gonna see a red flags everywhere, and communism is the way forward, but they need to look around and see, China (whom they follow blindly) has also embraced capitalism. the only problem with left is that how can they align with US. these guys have rejected US even in there sleep. And now the govt. whom they support, is aligning or shall i say tilting towards US. So its an ideological question for them. (without any thought process involved)

As far as I can see, deal is DEAD. And so is India's energy security. The best option would be that Congress party should negotiate with BJP to support the deal. (after all some credit goes to Vajpayee govt. too, to get this deal done)

On second thought Congress asking for help from BJP!! (am i day dreaming now...?)
