Lalu Goes Canadian

I didn't know whether to cry or laugh when I read this in Hindustan Times this morning:

...Lalu (Prasad) is playing the role himself in the documentary "India Reborn" being shot by Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC).

The only politician chosen by the CBC will be telling the story about his rise from the bucolic environs of his native Phulwaria village in remote Gopalganj district, where he spent his initial years as a cowherd, to becoming the minister of railways, the largest public sector undertaking in the country.

The four-hour documentary is to feature people from several walks of life including industry, information technology and agriculture who have left an indelible impact of their personality on the post-independence India.

Bihar CM for Nobel Peace Prize (updated TTM vs TTS))

PatnaDaily.com reports:

Senior Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and former Union Health Minister Dr. C. P. Thakur, at a press conference in Patna on Saturday said that he had nominated Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for the Nobel Peace Prize for doing an outstanding job in the area of Right to Information in the state and maintaining communal peace in the region.

The 'Nitish Model' of governance has become very successful in Bihar and the Central government must learn a lesson from it and implement it in other states as well," Dr. Thakur said during the press meet.

The nomination enraged the Railways Minister Laloo Prasad Yadav..."How dare he!!!" he screamed..."I should have been nominated...I have lectured students at IIM(A) and now am going to Japan to lecture students there...What has Nitish Kumar done?" Later on (according to The Times of India) after Laloo had cooled down, he remarked:

There is an English term I have coined -- "TTM: Tabar Tor Malish...His (Dr. C. P. Thakur's) argument was that the Nobel Prize should be given to Nitish because he implemented RTI in Bihar. The whole world knows that it was the UPA government which got RTI implemented throughout the country...Perhaps because the Lok Sabha polls are near and the MP has his eye on the Patna seat. If the MP is fielded, it will become easier for RJD MP Ram Kripal Yadav..

Nitish Kumar laughed and reacted to Laloo's coinage of the new term 'Tabartor Tel Malish (TTM)' to describe him thus:

The Railway Minister himself was the victim of TTS (Tabartor Shilanyas Syndrome) in his attempt to break all previous records of laying foundation stones in Bihar.

Anyone can install foundation stones throughout the state but how many of these projects will actually take off or be completed – that's the main question," said the Chief Minister.

Stupidity of Indians

A conversation between two local level MNS leaders in Mumbai

Leader 1: These non-Maharashtrians have and are continuing to destroy the Marathi culture and ethos of Mumbai...We Marathi manoos are second to none...After all, we have given the world Ambedkar, Gavaskar, Tendulkar, Kakodkar, Agarkar and many more kars...

Leader 2: Hah, these outsiders think they are great because they've destroyed our culture and ethos - we'll show them we are greater by destroying the city of Mumbai itself!!!

So, the next day the 2 leaders with their chamchas set off with hockey sticks and match boxes to destroy the city...They beat up non Marathi speaking taxiwallhas and subziwallahs and set fire to buses, cars,taxis,shops,and vegetable carts...With no police action, their confidence grows...They then take the bold step of destroying stations and trains and beating up any non-Maharashtrians who come in their way...This rampage puts the entire city in chaos thus inconveniencing not only the non-Maharashtrians but also the Marathi manoos...

Hearing about the plight of their villagewallhas, Biharis in Bihar say,"How dare these Marathis inconvenience our brothers...We'll show them we are better..." So, instead of first destroying taxis, buses and shops, the Biharis go straight for trains and stations...

The rioting in Bihar throws the entire railway network out of gear in the state thus inconveniencing Biharis in Bihar...

Raj Thackarey in his daily address to his chamchas,"I told you these Biharis are stupid...The reason for the rioting in our great city of Mumbai was to get the Biharis to burn themselves before they got here...Hee, hee, hee!!!
