Empty pockets never held anyone back. Only empty heads and empty hearts can do that.


There's a coup going on in this blog. A regime change is highly probable.

The connoisseur of Bullsh*t: A Monologue

Now that's a hyper-bull-e!
Yeah, c’mon! Smear me with that crap of yours( not to be taken literally,of course) , get into my head, fiddle with my mind and elicit a positive response. Sounds easy, doesn’t it? Especially since it’s been conveniently presumed that people of my ilk are fleeceable…

I hate to break this to you but there are certain things which are simply too much to put up with.
Prompt condemnations: every time a bomb goes off or terrorists strike somewhere in India, the Indian Government with clearly a knee-jerk reaction blurts out “India strongly condemns this attack and the perpetrator will be brought to justice. Such attacks will not deter us from blah blah blah…..” Having said that, the government can go into slumber only to be woken up by the next attack.
All things"Indigenous": “Indigenously” developed tank (Arjun MBT), missiles (Nag, Akash), aircraft (LCA Tejas), assault rifle (INSAS rifles) etc. etc. Seriously guys, if its indigenous you wanna go, then do it with some conviction. Half hearted efforts or ripping off soviet tech ain’t gonna help you bring out truly dependable products. As it is, lack of funds and ample Red-Tape ensures that the projects get delayed by at least a decade (in some cases its decades we are looking at). Then to bring out substandard/crude junks which are forced onto the soldiers putting their lives in the harm's way over unreliable hardware just to prove that the indigenous research was worthwhile and marketable is “tumach”.
Ah, the Breaking News: Some of the Indian News Networks keep breaking news 24x7. Question arises, how come our knowledgeable journos forget to prioritize news i.e. to figure out which news is worth breaking. Just take a look at aaj tak, zee news, India tv frivously dishing out breaking news; India TV appears to be in a league of its own...out-of-this-world crap!!!  I rest my case.
Arreey!! TV Swayamvars! First Rakhi, now Rahul…I suspect the media think tanks must have gone into a comatose. Isn’t there anything else you can give us than two pestering celebs going gaga over their marriage? Cut me some slack! Please!
Ahem, The Thackerays & Muthalik... Statutory Warning: any further elaboration can lead to protests, effigy burning, brick bating and even the possibility of an assault.
Of course, you are “Waiting for a good script”: Quoted over and over by the “next big thing” turned duds (read out of work actors/actresses). Actually quite a suave way of saying “haven’t got a script to read in the first place”.
Reservation: You know what I’m talking about. What Dr Ambedkar had gestated as a short-term (10-yr)measure (i.e. reservation) for the benefit of the suppressed, has been used as a short-term personal benefit trump card by our myopic political leaders, who are blind beyond the next election. So those in favor of further reservations, please carry on! Cuz if it keeps going as it is, soon even the general category guys will become a minority and hence be eligible for the reservation goodies.
MPG : Maniac PenGupta...and that's personal.
I must stop now…its stinking like unattended public convenience…compiling BS (DS) can be so nasty…I’m gonna throw up anytime now…
{I didn’t intend to take up subjects of such spectrum…let’s say that the current state of affairs provoked me}.
