Laugh Unlimited !!!!!!!

The more I am reading The Great Indian Novels by Shashi Tharoor, the more I am getting engulfed. Probably I should call it a ‘honeymoon package’ of satire and sarcasm. I keep on laughing relentlessly on his sardonic sentences. I don’t remember what the last time was when I had such a wonderful wry book in hand.

Apart from dealing with my two most favourite topics – Mahabharata and Indian Independence Struggle, this novel is no doubt a masterpiece by Shashi Tharoor. But I really don’t understand what his problem with ‘Bengali brethrens’ is.

Happy Independence Day

Tomorrow is 15th August 2007. That means India will be celebrating her 60th independence day tomorrow. As I have been soaked in the Great Indian Novel by Shashi Tharoor, I have a feeling that this Independence Day is very special! Thanks to Shashi Tharoor for bringing the pre-independence fight alive in such a satirical way!

Sanjay Dutt Mania

Are we still under foreign rule? Are we still struggling hard to win our sovereignty? Are thousands of us being thrown to jail for no reasons? If NOT, then how can a criminal be a hero in present day? Then how can a person involved in bombing his own city be the reason for so many people’s mercy?

Only because he played the role of a character who idolized Mahatma Gandhi in a commercial Hindi movie? If Sanjay Dutt plays a rapist, is he a rapist in real life? Then how can Sanjay Dutt be considered a Munna Bhai in real life?

This is obnoxious. People are getting mad behind a criminal! They are shouting ‘Munnabhai Zindabad’ outside the jail! I can understand the concern of the news channels – how can they leave such juicy news? But what about the matured people? If the court finds him guilty helping the bomb plotters in Bombay then how the matured people can act so numb?
