WAKE UP SID

A while since I patted myself and motivated myself to blog. With the weather getting colder in Hyderabad, the Hyderabadis are staying warm oweing to the heat in the Andhra politics. Surprised to see the way things are turning around keeps us all awake and excited. Mr. Rosaiah's resignation, Mr. Kiran kumar taking over the CM post was not the turn of events. The real twist came from the former CM's son, Mr.Jagan, who resigned and changed the entire political scene in Andhra Pradesh. Looks like about a 50 ministers might resign, owing to which Congress might lose its majority.  Jagan's smart move was quite a check for the Congress. With Chiranjeevi refusing to join the Congress, the strength of the ruling party would decline. Hoping to have Mr. Chandra Babu Naidu as the next CM. In spite of all the good things happening, I am not really worried about who runs the state, but how they do it. 
In case of another election, the state will have to spend another few hundred crores on conducting it. Where are we pumping that money from? Will the politicians spend the money they have already looted to conduct the elections? Why use the taxpayer's money? Use the black money and convert it into white? Mr.X, the Home Minister, donated Rs Y for election funds. When we can find loop holes in finding out how to loot, cant we find loop holes in making black, white?
With Media focusing only on A.Raja for the 2G Scam, other big names like M. Karunanithi's have not been brought to light much. Having sold just 5% of the stake of one of the companies that got the tender, M. Karunanithi has made about 8000 Crore Rupees. In 1991, his family owned just rupees 8000 Cores, in 2010, they own 18000 crore Rupees. 
            1,76000 Crores? that's a figure, I don't even have the energy to count the number of zeros. I am sure it needs a lot of persistence to loot the nation. The public has been persistent enough to take this shit. I don't know when we are gonna raise to the occasion and say enough you old bastards, clad in white uniform, give the nation to us, we ll take care of it.
With 1,76000 Crores, we could probably have two schools in each of the 28000 villages in India.

Wake UP SID.......

Politics is always a power game and we are unwilling spectators! We have been taking this shit because we don't have a choice - all those people who raise their voices, like yourself, for example, are the educated and elite, who are infact, the minority. Who is to wake up the majority? Until that happens, there is no way but to mind one's own business and contribute in whatever little way we can to the greater good....

This reminds me of one thing:
"And boom goes the dynamite!!"

Everyone knows its a dynamite and how its going to end.. The unknown was the timing.

The ho-no-rable CM of TamilNadu and his kin are used to dealing with numbers that have a lot of zeros: be it scams/ projects/ movies.

There is only one hope for change: sense of urgency. Just desire without urgency never makes sense!!

ha ha well, they have the sense of urgency to make their buck and pass it to the other government...

Passing the Buck is the name of the game

To me politics + media = full timepass/entertainment. And this seems to be a universal law.
