It’s been more than a year that Narendra Modi became India’s Prime Minister after a massive victory purely based on his own charm and charisma!

No mean feat for sure in a country of billions with diverse ideologies and multiple political parties all trying everything in the book and outside of it to grab power or to hold on to it.

Even though his appeal is fading away, which is obvious as nothing is permanent; the way his opponents are ganging up against him is mind-boggling! It may be an ego-boost for him, but for an outsider it does look like an uneven competition.

On one hand you have one party, BJP and its smaller companions forming the government, while on the other hand you have the entire opposition rallying up against him. In the forthcoming Bihar elections, Congress has tied up with Nitish Kumar’s JD (U) and  Lalu Prasad Yadav’s RJD to give stiff competition to Modi. We don’t know who is going to win or lose, but the fact that such stalwarts are not fighting graft, corruption or poverty caused by their own parties in the past few decades of rotten rule and are in fact training their guns at Modi baffles everyone. Is Modi such a huge figure that instead of working on issues for the common man, the political parties are only trying to prevent BJP to come to power?

Every election rally or media interview is aimed at taking pot-shots at Modi or his policies. Agreed, he hasn’t done wonders for the country and many of his ministers and party-people have been in the habit of putting their foot in the mouth. Also, I agree that the promises made before the general Lok Sabha elections were too huge to be fulfilled and were made to catch votes. Still the question is that the parties that are hitting at him, what has been their track record?

For one, Nitish Kumar did bring a change in Bihar. Not only the economy grew, but it became a safer state compared to what it was during Lalu’s rule. So why has Nitish become so desperate for power that he has shook hands with Lalu? What about Congress? Have they all forgotten the multitude of corruption cases piling-up against the party for which there are no satisfactory answers? Lalu’s track record is for all to see and there can’t be any argument!

This does look like just power-struggle instead of any genuine attempt to serve the common man. At least at the centre, Modi is ‘seen’ to be working for the betterment of the country. That perception also does wonders when we compare to UPA 2 when not even a leaf moved from its place! The heartening fact is that whether it is due to UPA’s policies or Modi’s efforts, the country is in a much better place economically than it was a year ago.

Bihar elections might remind everyone whether Modi is still the behemoth he is considered to be or is losing his sheen. But whatever happens, one thing is for sure that even after one year of grabbing power, he is still instilling fear in his opponents for them to lose their sleep and join hands with their enemies to hold on to power at any cost!

India hasn’t seen such a leader in many many years! Let’s hope we get many more of Modi’s kind, of course in an improved and refined manner!

Congress is in the dumps and trying really hard to come out of the oblivion that BJP sent it into more than a year back. However, except for stalling the Parliamentary proceedings and raking up non-issues, the party hasn’t been able to do much to revive its sagging fortunes.

In these times, yet again the only ray of light that everyone is looking at is Priyanka Gandhi Vadra!

No doubt, Rahul Gandhi has come back from his long introspective break and jumped into the thick of things, raising issues left, right and centre and trying to do everything possible to be counted as a serious politician. However, he is making all the right noises without offering solutions for any of the problems. In fact, he is not even realizing that many of the problems of today were created by his party’s government only over the years! This is one reason his respect amongst the ordinary citizens is not gaining much ground, even if his party members are trying to at least look like supporting him whole-heartedly.

This is why Priyanka is so important for the revival of the grand old party, but she is very rigid about her stand of not entering active politics. The joke doing the rounds is that she doesn’t want to take away her brother’s only source of employment. Frankly speaking, there is a lot of truth in this logic as well considering the fact that if she decided to throw her hat in the electoral politics, the party will definitely be divided in two, at least initially. One lobby will support her and another for Rahul! This division will not be good for Congress at all and might give fodder to other parties who will milk the situation to their benefit!

Secondly, she currently has her husband, Robert Vadra as a major liability in terms of land scams and corruption cases against him. It will be difficult for her to keep herself away from his wrong doings and the stains on her political journey will be too hard to be removed for any victory.

In short, even though she is the ultimate Ace who can make Congress count again, she is tied down due to the inefficiencies of her own immediate family members. The only factor that can work against her personally as of now is that no one knows her political views and vision in detail. She has been capturing the common man’s imagination purely due to her strong resemblance to her grandmother, late Mrs. Indira Gandhi and for her no-nonsense attitude visible during her electoral promotions in support of her mom, Mrs. Sonia Gandhi and brother. Add on to it her gift of the gab, her ability to give right sound bites and her charisma and you have a winner on hand!

May be more than her own willingness to join politics, the atmosphere isn’t conducive enough for her to step into electoral politics. She has to enter only when she is assured of a massive victory, kind of a big bang in politics. Anything less than that will not befitting the potential Queen of Indian Politics!

There are hordes of charities and auctions and what not to raise money for elections, to help the underprivileged and also to bring some relief to the destitute sections of the society!

Well, nothing can ever match an auction, which calls for a shout-out for Bollywood Divas’ Underwears!!….

Oooops Lingerie I mean!

Yes, I mean I am talking about Bollywood Actresses’ Underwear Auctions!

No, I am not talking about the regular boring grandma style cotton underwear they wear, but the sexy silky stylish lingerie owned by the gorgeous hot girls!

See, the mere mention of their lingerie has sent your blood pumping and made you excited, isn’t it?

Just imagine the impact it would have on all those die-hard fans of our sizzling babes and won’t they open their loaded wallets to bid for the aroma and get a piece of action?

This might sound a bit over the top, but hey what the hell! Actors and actresses earn their millions by working their ass off and only a few of them are comfortable by sharing a bit of it considering how insecure their career is. They just want to save every rupee for the uncertain future of this profession.

But their intention to give it back to society needs to be believed and therefore we thought of bringing this solution!

Since we are a cinema crazy nation and love our actresses to the core, there are enough crazy fans who would go to any length to get close to their film-idols and objects of fantasy. Now auctioning their cutleries and saris and dresses and other regular stuff can definitely raise some money, but not even close to what their sexy lingerie can command! May be some lingerie an actress used in a famous love-making scene. Or maybe a two piece bikini that she adorned in a popular romantic duet. The list is endless guys, and the scope to make millions out of these colourful teeny-weeny objects, which are not even seen most of the times, is simply huge!

Also, if it is not too much to ask, the item of auction can be accompanied by a picture of the celebrity actually wearing it! Now that can come like a bonus as a souvenir for the highest bidder to hold close to his heart. He can leave it as a part of his legacy for future generations or that could become an artefact for coming generations like a treasure trove! Like we said, the possibilities are endless! Just the urge to do something good for the society and give some love in any form, is what is important.

This way the lingerie making companies can also feel proud for making a product, which actually has the potential to change lives!

No, not the lives of the poor people, but the actresses who wore them and titillated scores of men and earned millions!

Anyways, there are ways to raise money without stooping too low or compromising in life.

Always better to auction underwear, if it truly holds value!

For Bollywood divas, their underwear might be worth millions!

Go for it, girls!

Hey! Don’t look at me as if I woke you up at 5am on a Sunday!

I know that Mr. Narendra Modi has the mandate to rule us for another four years and elections are far away, but then someone has to remove the rose-tinted glasses offered by Mr. Modi himself and look at the future realistically!

First of all, the achhe din are nowhere around the corner!

Sorry to rock your boat, but they are not coming anytime soon. All you have got and are going to get is pep-talk and nothing more. Development isn’t happening the way it should be, the government is not able to pass major bills required for businesses to look up as it doesn’t have the numbers in Parliament and prices are rising again!

In short, the frustrating days of UPA 2 are what one can expect given the way this current government is functioning.

If this goes on, by 2019 we all be screaming for a government change and a new PM!

Who can qualify?

Obviously the congress supporters will shout from the roof top to make their baba, Rahul Gandhi the PM!

However, the country knows his calibre and he doesn’t look like in the race, at least not today. May be if by some miracle he gets some brains, then I can’t say.

In such a scenario our best bet should be the current cricket team captain, MS Dhoni !

Yes I know he is not a politician, but by 2019 he would have retired from cricket and would have got time in his hands to join politics and contest an election. He started playing cricket for India and in no time was made captain based on his skills. He knows the game well and is a true leader. He has supported underdogs, spotted talent and gone against odds million times to steal victory from the jaws of failure! He is a true team player, a cool leader, takes smart decisions, and is unorthodox in approaching problems and providing unheard of, but successful solutions!

In short, all those qualities are what are required to be India’s PM!

We as a country have lot of potential, but no one is exploiting it in the right manner so that every citizen benefits and real growth happens to reduce poverty and inequality. The current government is only offering big words, bigger headlines instead of real action on the ground. Not to mention the fringe elements already working overtime to create a rift in the society on religious grounds!

And no, we don’t hear Mr. Modi rejecting such stupid statements simply because he can’t spoil his relations with RSS and VHP to stay in power!

I guess our best hope is someone like Mahi, a youngster to lead our young nation!

Enough of oldies catering to their selfish goals without giving a thought to what the nation wants!
