Perpetually Perplexed

In Patiala House court, some lawyers assaulted Kanhayya Kumar and journalists last week. So all lawyers are assaulters.  Any lawyers who was present on that day could be arrested - he was present in the location of crime, right? In the same event, an MP was captured by camera, beating up a person. So all members of parliament are violent people who care nothing about the rules of government. Right? I am from Bangalore. In Bangalore a Tanzanian woman was stripped and attacked few weeks ago. So I could be tried for that charge. Right?     

He is like Rama from Ramayana. He is brave. He is courageous. He is just. He always stands for truth and justice. I think. Like Rama, he has also abandoned his wife. Wives rarely understand greatness of their spouses.

It was a very long journey. Further lengthened by diversions and really horrible roads between Haveri and Akki alur. So spouse was trying to alleviate boredom by listening to Yakshagana (a folk art form from Karnataka) songs. Yakshagana songs are sung by person with title Bhagavataru. This singer is not hidden from us but will be sitting on the stage, adorned with a some kind of   peta on the head and pan in the cheeks. So spouse had a compilation of these songs and was listening to them. I was singing along with Bhagavataru. Of course there were no others in the car. And I was singing quite well. May be I should consider this Bhagavatike as an alternate career option. After I learn the art of how to chew arecanut pan and at the same time sing a song without splashing the red betel nut juice every where around. Please do not be offended, Yakshagana lovers. I am just joking. I will really not consider this one alternate career option. So I was singing. And I think spouse was ...

Poverty? Inflation? Who is telling you all this? In fact, Indians are getting richer day by day. At least some Indians are? According to today's newspaper, Karnataka MLAs' assets have increased many fold some times as high as by 5000%. Why am I telling you all this? Do you want to become richer, without working hard? Stand for an election and win a seat. But  initially you may have to convince people that you care for them. This is easy. Follow the path of other aspiring member of LA. Distribute sarees, panches, liquor and hard cash freely among people.

ಪ್ರಜಾ ಪ್ರಭುತ್ವವೆಂದರೆ ಪ್ರಜೆಗಳಿಂದ ಪ್ರಜೆಗಳಿಗಾಗಿ ಪ್ರಜೆಗಳು ನಡೆಸುವ ಸರಕಾರ ಎಂದು ನಾವೆಲ್ಲಾ ಕನ್ನಡ ಶಾಲೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಕಲಿತಿದ್ದೆವು. ಈಗ ಅದೆಲ್ಲ old school. ಪ್ರಜಾ ಪ್ರಭುತ್ವದ ಹೊಸ ಪರಿಭಾಷೆಯೆಂದರೆ ಬ್ರಷ್ಟರಿಂದ ಆಯ್ಕೆಯಾಗಿ ಬ್ರಷ್ಟರಿಗಾಗಿ ಬ್ರಷ್ಟರು ನಡೆಸುವ ಸರಕಾರವೇ ಪ್ರಜಾ ಪ್ರಭುತ್ವ ಅಥವಾ ಬ್ರಷ್ಟ ಪ್ರಭುತ್ವ  Cliches aside, I saw in today's newspaper that chief election officer has stated that taking money for vote is an offense. But what about buying vote? Is it not an offense?   We citizens will supply them with names of candidates who are giving money. Will the honorable government  punish the politicians who are giving money for their votes? Or will the election commission cancel their candidature for this election?

Next time when you are negotiating compensation package for your new job, be sure to ask for a new car worth 20 lakh rupees. Why do you need it? You need the car to come to office on time which I think they expect. And you have to convince them that what you are asking is not a new concept. Everyone including our netas are getting it (had almost got it). If they netas get new cars for coming to assemblies (on the days they decide to do the honors of coming to house ) and taking small naps there or watch little rangeela clips there, aren't you entitled to a car for coming to your office and doing a donkey's work for minimum 10 hours X 6 days a week. And as our ancestors used to say "Yatha raja, tatha praja" 

Digvijay Singh  wonders why his statements trigger controversy

Our politicians are very much hurt by the current events. Every Tom, Dick and Harry is that is every Shyam, Ram and Bhim are ridiculing them, blaming them and even hurling shoes at them. They are all talking as if politicians are the roots of all evil. And if that were not enough, they are taking the government to ransom by threatening with satyagraha, fast and dharana. Deeply hurt by these happenings, our political brotherhood has decided to show that even constitutional members can do what others do. The elected peoples' representatives can also not only drive fast cars, but fast. They are not inferior to any Anna, Ram or Bheem. According to reliable sources, our pradhana mantri has decided that he will fast, fast and more fast until people stop calling him a his masters voice. And a certain chief minister has decided she will fast until Maran, chidambaram and in fact all friends and kith and kin of previous CM are removed from their posts and arrested. A particular member o...
