<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">To the rejuvenation seeking, a steaming cup of tea suggests a calming, centering diversion from the everyday. In our great land however,this brew stirs enough of a storm in the very same cup infusing a myriad of flavours challenging the digestive track. A few local ones are noteworthy of mention. Like the common sense numbing comical statesmanship of Rahul Gandhi, the baffling unsteady calmness of Mamta Banerjee, the consistent growling silence of the Prime Minister and the model honest corrupt practices of Ajit Chavan and Ajit Pawar. These flavours shock,please and tease, but a portioned serving of the concoction in a feeble cup soothes it all. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Peddling litres of this infusion in little feeble cups are tea vendors and if one of the pack is a current chief minister and the prospective prime minister, a sip from the pot becomes priceless. In an effort to get the right blend bubbling in the cauldron, Narendra Modi presides over a bench that scouts for the right additives. One odd strong adulteration like BS Yedurappa, he believes, will not jinx taste or taste buds.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Taking a lesson from NaMo, the streets of Bihar are traying in cups of piping hot <i>laloo chai</i>. However, knowing his credentials in tea brewing,there are very few takers. The average Bihari tea drinker belches with cries that the brew is fodder flavoured and fit for consumption only by starving cattle</span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Achtung !!</b></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
Angela Dorothea Merkel had the President of the United States crooning the national anthem of his mighty country in unadulterated German. </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
Now, what did it take to accomplish such nerve wrecking cacophony of a supreme quality? </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
It all begins with a <a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/us-snooping-revelations-merkel-told-obama-nsa-was-like-the-stasi-9013109.html" target="_blank">harmless American wiretap</a> on the German chancellor's cell phone. An innocent overseas eavesdrop to steal her granny's choco chip cookie recipe. And why not ?? Americans deem it a right to know the recipe of every single cookie in the culinary world. But, in Oct 2013, Uncle Sam is caught with his hand deep inside aunt Merkels fortune cookie jar. This leaves her hurt and fuming.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
To seek closure, aunt Merkel resigns to the Bavarian Alps. She finds solace in a pair of Texan skis sneaked in to the country for her strong feet to symbolically control misguided American adventurism. With Mount Blanc in the visual bubble of her aging eyes, she sets on a jaunt down the snow clad mountain. As she gathers momentum, the ski poles are tucked in between her armpits and her head leans forward to reduce drag. Many frozen moments later, her tapped cell phone buzzes, slicing hard into her harnessed focus. Irritated by the unwarranted interruption, her eyes shift for a wretched moment, only for her skis to run into a hazardous icicle.The <span id="goog_754731441"></span><a href="http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-25622660" target="_blank">mishap</a><u> </u>hurls the snooped political head into the wild west with uncontrolled political momentum. She lands with an earth shaking thud and a broken pelvic bone.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
While the German machinery is busy mending a badly broken bone of national importance, Barack Obama chooses the instance to mend badly broken fences. The US President is one of the first to express deep felt pelvic concerns . </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
Has that doused the anger simmering within her excellency ? Perhaps no. Not with Victoria Nuland, the momentary queen of gaffes and a top ranking US diplomat based in Europe, who recently disparingly dismissed EU efforts to mediate the ongoing crisis in Ukraine with her golden utterance 'F@#k the EU'. 'Merkels choco chip cookies anyone ?..Obama is indeed singing the <i>star strangled banner</i> in German.'</div>

The <b><i>broom</i></b> these days, is a law unto itself. After sweeping clean the streets of Delhi of political muck, the celestial cleaning gadget is now squatting pretty on these very same roads, dropping filth with greater vigour. We wonder, if the new high priest of low conduct will sweep aside the hopes that the common man has sown for him to nurture ??.<br />
Meanwhile, the bobbing white hat army marches on....grossly out of step with the barrage of promises made to its electorate. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Orchestrated by the Congress,t</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">he Delhi chief ministerial chair,for many monotonous corruption seasoned years, has been thrumming the dismal antiquated (aunty-quit-ed) chant,<i><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTmF2v59CtI" target="_blank"> 'Sheila....Sheila ki jawani '</a></i>. This time however,the pension bound tune never struck the right chord. The cacophony was so unpopular, that the electoral belly of Delhi was pleading for tympanic mercy. The conscious mortals of the mutilated capital pleaded for change of tune and composer. The assembly elections of 2013,ushered in prospective winds of change. The new gust pushed in a much needed cleaning apparatus to sweep,scrub and swab in crevices and cavities where it was onerous to dislodge hardened filth preserved by years of miss-governance. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So, it all boils down to how the common man or woman benefits ? Take Sheila aunt</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">ie for instance.Now a part of the ordinary capital flock</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> living off a paltry party pension. She sits ministering how to optimally put to use the 20,000 litres of free water provided by the novice AAP government .There of course are these odd moments when she hoped against all hope that the people of Delhi will charitably remember her governments water generosity during the rains, when the downpour left the aam aadmi wading in waist deep puddles of efficiency. It allowed them the unique luxury of a hedonistic bath in preserved street salt and grime...many times over. Surely, that benevolence surpassed Arvind Kejriwal's post poll aqua generosity, which in comparison was a pittance. <i>'So what is all this ado about nothing ?'</i>, she bellows adjusting her telescopic eye wear.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Surely,</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">the electorate turned out to be insensitive, blind to her humility and munificence.She had facilitated more free water to a person than what any other chief minister could think of bathing an obese elephant herd in. The spirit of gratitude was dead, she concluded.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Resigning to fate,the bewildered Sheila auntie,already in a state of post electoral disarray,turns to music for therapy. Chirping like a nightingale with a sore throat,her personal top of the chart track is the 1970's hit <i><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUwEIt9ez7M" target="_blank">Smoke on the water</a></i>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">While the septuagenarian head bangs, Delhi'ites meanwhile, are taken in by their new found sporting fascinaton - <b>water polo</b>. The AAP government on its part,has even decided to declare water polo as the official state sport (with floating subsidies ofcourse). All this, in the thick of a freezing North Indian winter.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Post the 2013 Delhi Assembly elections,the Congress party headquarters on 24 Akbar Road in the capital is abuzz with an army of spring cleaners. The con-men (read congress men for short) were literally swept away by a <a href="http://www.aamaadmiparty.org/" target="_blank">trendy new broom</a>. All old school cleaners donning <i><a href="http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-10-10/india/34362292_1_banana-republic-robert-vadra-aam-aadmi" target="_blank">'mango people'</a></i> brooms have been evicted from the visual bubble of the party office. The new mantra for victory is <i>'to clean up by connecting to the grass root.'</i> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It is precisely for this obnoxious reason, that palm shaped vacuum cleaners are replacing wiry, noisy old brooms. At least, the cord connects someplace, lest the grass root. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">To state the obvious, one was witness to wired cleaners of different colours,textures and sizes making their way into the cosy comfort cushion laden chambers of their leaders. After all, leaders who profess about the <b><i><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIQX2ppfYy8" target="_blank">escape velocity of planet Jupiter</a></i></b> for the common man, do need extra terrestrial spring cleaning to connect to the grass root. Blessed we are,how earthly are our leaders ? When in dire straits, dial R...to be routed.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">Yesterday, when the chief minister of Kerala was struck by an unholy Marxist projectile above his left eyebrow,</span></span><span style="line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;"> </span><span style="line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">the media went blazing on all available decipherable audio,watchable video and barely readable print</span><span style="text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">. True to belief in the above prophesy,the minister chose to offer the neglected 'other brow' too. After all, this is election year and such benevolent gestures do not come in harms way when enduring a little pain in rhetoric. More so, when an array of cameras are rolling spools of sympathy to be played all over national television...... Absolutely no harm !! In fact during such an act this season the word </span><b style="line-height: 20px;">harm</b><span style="line-height: 20px;"> is considered taboo of a higher order. </span></span><span style="line-height: 18px;"> </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">The honorable</span><span style="line-height: 18px;"> minister however, missed one significant point. </span>The stone in our country is an unchallenged solution to many a problem. It has the potential to rewrite military doctrines. Consider how simple the economics,logistics and mathematics of this well researched projectile theory is :</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">These prophesies on stone have many takers in our land. The Kannur wing of the LDF was no different. The </span><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">CPI state secretary, a loving and caring angel in red named Panniyan Raveendran solemnly declared that the dove and olive branch sporting LDF workers would never resort to such a course. How blessed we are Oh angel in red, we have only seen you shower floral petals and deodorized water on your adversaries to date. Chandy sporting a bleeding brow was hit by a flower in gentle hyperbolic motion.</span></span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">Not to be let down by the display of such exemplary and divine behaviour, Chandy was quick to add </span></span><span style="line-height: 18px;">“I take all problems in a positive manner.” and having said so, the other </span><strike style="line-height: 18px;">cheek</strike><span style="line-height: 18px;"> brow was thrust out to bring to bear ' the misery for sympathy'.After all, actions are known to speak louder than words. </span></span></span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-size: large; line-height: 18px;">But the seasoned politician forgets, one simple law of conflict : The enemy's arrow follows no determined line. While he grappled with his brow, a well toned stone from the red quarry knocked hard on his head and a bump was quick to mushroom.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-size: large; line-height: 18px;"> </span></span></div>

For the 'unchosen' few, it is a Hobsons choice. But for a gratifying majority, the bout of sneezing could start <i>in anticipation</i>......of a chocked nose.</span></span><br />

variety for who, a politicians wish is his command .They are also the likely
variety to savour plum appointments and stay ahead in the rodent race.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><b>'B' rats</b> are fence sitters. After all, which non risk taking mouse would want their

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The last in the lot
are the<b> 'C' rats</b>. The kind that endure 43 transfers in 15 years,
hit out at the sand mafia and limp in the race to ascend and comfort.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">On an unusually hot and sultry September afternoon, the soot smeared and reputation charred ministerial class gathered around burning blocks of coal, lit in the Prime Ministers lackluster courtyard, desperate to keep warm from the cold feet caused by a potentially damaging <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Coal_Allocation_Scam" target="_blank">CAG report</a>.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">

<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">'Thank you, I am shivering', exclaimed <b><a href="http://mindlesslampoons.blogspot.in/2011/08/manmohan-singh.html" target="_blank">Dr Manmohan Singh</a> </b>, in gratitude for the momentary relief provided by Jaiswal , his teeth chattering and body quivering to the Governments 'scam of the season'.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Cleaning soot from the lens of his nasal bone lodged myopia corrector, the Finance Minister, <a href="http://mindlesslampoons.blogspot.in/2011/09/chiddy-homely-affairs-spooky-spectum.html" target="_blank">Mr Chidambaram</a> expressed dismay that concerted efforts by him to <b>NULLIFY</b> the heat produced by the fossilised fuel was in vain. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">

<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">

Both parts of the unholy chant, to the common man were forgone conclusions. As for the former,it was only a question of time that the government would render the CAG spineless and voiceless.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">When a boorish regiment of brooders cry hoarse, can the adversary be far away ? By a generous measure of history,definitely not ! </span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A resounding whisper laced with desperation, echoed from the nearby foliage.A 'large mass of deception' was attempting to unsuccessfully hide and seek attention of the desperate leg warming community.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>'Pssst ...Pssst...I am here to warm my feet too..... besides expressing solidarity with you ..incognito ofcourse'</i></b> pleaded a poorly hidden <a href="http://mindlesslampoons.blogspot.in/2011/12/gut-curry-gadkari-hatcheries.html" target="_blank">Nitin Gadkari</a>. Though not a bird of the same feather, his attempt to flock uninvited with those in despair was clear.A crisis brings together strange bed fellows.</span><br />

As a <b><i>twist of 'but(t)s'</i></b> , relief came in the form of counting bars in prison, in lieu of counting clean bottoms at leisure.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;"> The <i>anal</i>ogy groomed Mr Kalmadi as an expert on all kinds of paper meant to grease palms and hinds alike.Thus </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;">the jailbird ventured</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;"> from tendering toilet paper for the Commonwealth Games 2010 at New Delhi, to selling them during the 2012 Olympics at London.The business model floored the British Parliament,very much like it did floor the Indian house of chaos . Afterall,the English politicians,like their Indian counterparts, were blessed with stiff upper lips and stiffer colonial hips, both which called for an adequate stuffing of the flimsy.</span></div>

After all, he was the chosen one forced into both a political hiatus and a jesterly role, only to deliver the magnum opus.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> The insidious Chef and the crafty commi set to work. With the math done, the flavourings in place, the cold cuts ordered and the garnishes readied, what just did not fall in place was how to 'hunt down the game' which is to be marinated,cooked and served on a social platter. Their masters were neither hunters not connoisseurs of the taste buds, they were after all just gluttonous foodies who would chomp at anything that stood their measly way.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Thus in wily party circles was coined the term <b><i>'sacrificial meal'</i></b>, where the man in the benevolent eyes of their masters was praised for having done so much for the nation and deserved a befitting retirement. He would be offered gratuity on a smouldering spit. The unsuspecting<i> Babu moshai, </i>also the erstwhile<i> </i>chairman of the Indian Statistical Institute,Kolkata, got his statistical count wrong<i>,</i>slipping,tripping,sliding and rolling deep into a coveted <b>'retirement grease trap'. </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Trimmed of matter,as enough has been said in my earlier rants, this is the third sequel in this blog devoted to the well garnished and tastefully served <i>babu moshai</i>. An emboldened reference to earlier posts illustrating the first citizen to be:</span><br />
