Modi and his sense of humor only get better   Yuvraj aka Shahzada will go mad now... Modi: "Shahzada came to Rajasthan without informing their CM & rode on a bike belonging to a history sheeter. Perhaps he was inspired by Dhoom 3." Ref: Narendra Modi's Facebook Post after his Rajasthan visit:  http://nm4.in/1n22TNQ

What will he do by fighting election when his speculated-to-be party itself will lose next general elections? :) It will be too boring to sit in the opposition benches and do nothing. He should rather negotiate with BJP so that his red-beaconed Ambassadors keep running…  Btw, it looks like speculative news which typically is designed to trend on twitters of this world: There is nothing official about it yet, but the buzz in Lutyens Delhi has it that Nandan Nilekani is poised to enter politics and contest the next Lok Sabha elections from South Bangalore on a Congress ticket. Nilekani did not respond to messages, but three people independently confirmed that both the head of the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) and the Congress party were thinking along these lines. If he does contest, it will be a brave decision, and well-timed. http://www.livemint.com/Politics/9tc04PCqnQh76CvaJ5UFDL/Nandan-Nilekani-may-contest-elections-on-Congress-ticket.html

Advani ji can be right; Cong can be right; and BJP can also be right. Only time can tell who would be right. So we should not think on the lines media wants us to (i.e. if decision was right or wrong), but we should think if Modi is right or wrong (if we have not thought already). Most of my friends like him because he stands for progress, something which unites all of us... So if he comes to power, India has better hope. It is always good to play by your strengths and we know Modi is more powerful today than Advani ji. BJP workers on the ground want Modi to be PM candidate. And people connect with Modi (that he stands for progress) but we don't know what Advani ji stands for today (may be he stands for glorious history of our nation but it is not enough). Modi is proven success story (in Gujarat) but Advani ji is proven a failure (2009 elections). So it was never difficult for BJP to choose between the two. Now the golden Qn as you also said is if this will benefit Cong. Even if...

At the height of Jan Lokpal Bill agitation, you must have heard or read about Singapore's so called Lokpal Bill. Here is a very interesting take by a fellow blogger who rips apart this subject: The Reality of Singapore’s Lokpal Bill and Truths about Argentina’s Public Accountability Bill August 29, 2011 Pardeep There are two very famous messages – both polar opposite – circulating on the internet these days. One message seems to support Jan Lokpal Bill and Anna; other message denounces the Anna and Jan Lokpal Bill. My email-inbox is full of these two messages and my mobile inbox memory is crying to get relief of such messages. To get some relief from such messages and reply those who are sending me such messages again and again, here are my views on both the messages: The Reality of Singapore’s Lokpal Bill The message claims the following statement: [In 1982, in Singapore, bill similar to Jan Lokpal was implemented and 142 Corrupt Ministers & officers were arrested in one...

Someone said, "Life means we develop from getting to giving". I think it is always a good idea. If we want to give, first we need to have the same. In order to have it, we shall earn it by industry and paurush. In this manner, whole world will benefit starting from us. As such from the moment we give something, our ego starts to swell. So in Bhakti, people say that we are not giving but only serving. Serving someone does not inflame our ego. But giving someone results in ego. Again we can sustain service mentality only if we see the same Brahmn in everyone and everything. Thereby energy of universe flows through us... Someone said, "Our Own Understanding is More Important than Others' Appreciation" We have been taught that story of a man walking with his son and a donkey and in the end they carry donkey on their head, because they always were influenced by what others said about them... The path which takes us to seek approval of others, takes us to a mess and...
