Ashoe!!! God bless you!
When you read “ASHOE”, read between the lines and think of the politician. When you read “god bless you” think of the one throwing the shoe.
Game on politicians.

Chidu gets a shoe!!!!!
After America’s Ex President Bush was Indian Home Minister Chidambaram’s turn to dodge the shoe. Has the common man’s shoe become the most powerful tool to express public opinion? Is this is a trend that is soon going to become the popular means to display the common man’s angst against the government?
Lathon Ke Bhooth Bathon Se Nahin Manthe. I agree with shoe throwing. Congress has a chance to give its members a clean chit and it is doing so. Tytler who is one of the prime accused in the 1984 riots was recently given a clean chit by the CBI. This has angered the Sikhs and anyone can understand their sentiments. This is not the first time that Congress has tried to cover its tracks. Remember Office of Profit Act? When they asked Jaya Bachan to declare her assets and the same came back to bite the Congress they enacted OOP Act to protect themselves. Why don’t people see this? Now they are giving their own man a route to escape.
This has further got me thinking if we have restricted the definition of being communal only to Hindus & Muslims. What about Christians and Sikhs? Wasn’t Congress being Communal in carrying out Operation Bluestar? Was invasion of the temple the only way to get back law and order in Punjab? What about the riots that ensued after Indira Gandhi’s assassination? How does one justify killing of thousands of people for an act committed by just two people (I.G’s Bodyguards)?
The common man has finally found his voice in action. Cheers to Jarnail Singh!

Preventive Detention and Blasts
News this afternoon: Just days after the communal unrest in Kyathmarana Halli in Mysore, our very famous Pramod Muthalik decided to visit the place. Fortunately he was taken into preventive detention. It’s nice to know that the police force has taken the pre election safety measures seriously.
Later in the evening news channels were reporting blasts in Assam and ULFA is suspected to have its hand in this operation. Again the government had been warned about ULFA’s threats to disrupt peace given that tomorrow is the founding day of the organization. Again the government didn’t take appropriate steps to prevent the attacks.

Violence and Religon - The same old mantra for all election campaigns.
Varun Gandhi said things he shouldn’t have. Now he is facing charges against the comments he made during the campaign. What is the point though? The comments have been made. Damage has been done. Further with the recent support the Ram Sena has garnered with its moral policing has only accelerated the communal sentiments. The cherry on top being the Mumbai attacks.
Instead of concentrating on issues relating to employment generation, education (go beyond reservations), population control, health, giving small scale industries a push, Agriculture-farmers etc… which are some of the basic concepts that our politicians fail to see. They are adamant on not going beyond religion and caste. All they want to play on is the sentiments of the general population (which pretty much borders on emotional black mail)
Where does the common man stand now? What does he do? We don’t need to send Muslims across the border to Pakistan. We as a country don’t need to do anything that remotely attaches itself to ethnic cleansing. We should probably send all our politicians on a one way trip to Kabristan. That’s where they belong.

The Balancing Act
What is the matter with our country? As I am soon going to be swallowed into the realms of the judicial system, I feel what is happening in Chennai is wrong and that, the advocates should get back to work. Protests can be made in a more refined, calculated and orderly way. Resorting to physical violence is not the answer. The fact that ADVOCATES set a police station on fire is appalling. The country would be better off if the judiciary just concentrated on dealing with cases before it. With a sky rocketing number of cases still pending, disposing them and moving on, on one hand and simultaneously voicing their support for a “just cause” by way of a petition is a far better way of achieving their ends. Their current portrayal as hooligans is only going to make the general public loose its faith in the judiciary all over again.
I have been battling between what I should finally get into, should I join the corporate sector when recession is around or should I join litigation when the court is not functioning half the time? Well the balance ain’t tipping!!!!!
