A billion idiots and counting..

An idiot is an idiot irrespective of nationality. And I am proud to declare that I am one such.

Mark Twain once said "In the first place, God made idiots. That was for practice. Then he made school boards".

So once we are educated in our system of education that uses the school's blackboard, we know where we are headed. Not to mention the NCERT and the Tamil Nadu govt history text books that talk about the "Indian History" that never paints Aurangazeb in bad light and where there is no mention of his vandalizing the temples. Likewise the TN govt text books that contain material that eulogize Periyar, Annadurai and MK, not necessarily in the same order, while their 'achievements' are questionable.

What you can expect in future are some topics on Raja and Kanimozhi and some "poets" like Vaali and Vairamuthu singing the glory of the pair ( no pun intended ).

Well, what has 'idiots; got to do with the pair ? Well, let us go over.

Some legend here about some legendary figures :

• G1- Sonia (G)- the precursor to 2G.
• G2- Rahul (G) - the progeny of G1.
• Kani - the poetess, temptress from the south
• Raja - needs no legend as he is already one
• MMS - the de jure prime minister ( note that India has a Prime Minister still )
• MK - the only guardian of Tamil Culture who runs a govt writing screen plays for tamil films

Having come across some 'legends', we know that iare either born in India or they are made in Indian schools. In case you are not an idiot by birth, you are made into one once you read the history books taught in schools. Otherwise how can one believe the following :

1. MMS is the 'cleanest' PM that the country has ever had, thus say the 'elite' english papers, this despite the fact that he tolerated a scam-boss in his ministry for more than 4 years. One of the records that he has set is that he has made the nation proud by being the leader of the government that has indulged in the largest scam in the world, so far.
2. The 2Gs ( Sonia-G and Rahul-G ) remain unscathed in the scams so far and are hailed for what ever the reason.
3. The 2Gs are not responsible for the Bihar debacle when the congress has won just 4 out of 220 seats. The party has decided that the party itself had been weak in Bihar and that they have to start from the scracth. Thus, if any victory in any part of the country occurs for the Congress, paenas for the 2Gs for their remarkable leadership but no responsibility in case there is a debacle.
4. Rahul (G2) is more patriotic and 'secular' and therefore he has absolved Lakshar-e-Toiba to the US Ambassador.
5. Rahul (G2) is the most secular human being available in India as he has expressed fears about the Hindu Terror Organizations ( read 'saffron terror' as that is the buzz word now-a-days) after the Mumbai attacks.
6. Kani is a poetess par excellence ( as often eulogized by Vaali and Vairamuthu ) despite the fact that she has stoped writing long back and only talks to Radia and Radio either backing Raja or opposing Dayanidhi.
7. The whole world does not know of the relationship between Kani and Raja despite the duo blushing about each other to the Radio ( err.. Radia ).
8. Raja is the only culpable person in the whole 2G loot and the DMK has no relations what so ever.
9. MK is still sensible and is fit enough to be a Chief Minister and therefore is seen either going to Delhi in a wheel-chair or is seen accepting awards for writing dialogues for un-seeable films that bomb in the box-office even during the first show.
10. Raja is being hounded by the media only because he is a dalit and therefore , P.J.Thomas, the tainted Chief Vigilance Commissioner of India, is also being hounded by the Supreme Court just because he happens to be a Christian. Hence the Supreme Court is racist / aryan / communal etc.
11. Ratan Tata and therefore the Tata group are honourable despite the Radio's ( err Radia's) escapades.
12. Ratan Tata is an honourable person despite the fact that he speaks about the party dress that Radio Radia would wear to a party hosted by Ratan.
13. Azhagiri is an educated person who has the ability to talk ( not to metion the language ).
14. Vir Sanghvi and Barkha Dutt are the most secular faces of the media and they can keep espousing on morality and justice to gullible public.
15. The BJP is above all corruption. Yeddyurappa need not resign despite the dubious land deals that get published daily.
16. The victory for the NDA in Bihar is because of Nitish Kumar and thus not because of the BJP while the victory for the BJP in Gujarat is because of the polarization on communal lines by Narendra Modi and not because of his govt's achievements. This is secularism for the un-initiated.
17. EVR is the erstwhile head of the Tamil dravidian family and he brought back the glory to Tamil despite the fact that his mother tongue was Kannada and he had remarked about Tamil to be the language of the barbarians.
18. MK spends considerable amount of time in 'governing' the state of Tamil Nadu ( a functional anarchy at that ) and he does this feat by writing unpalatable dialogues to un-seeable films.
19. Kani and her mother ( don't know a parliamentary word to define her relationship with MK ) are doing social work with VOLTAS that too in the cause of the Sri Lankan tamils.
20. Fr. Jagath Casper Raj's association with Kani ( or is it the other way around ) is only platonic and they have devoted their lives to the cause of Tamil folk arts and Sri Lankan tamils.

We have to believe in all the above and be 'patriotic' and 'dravidian' ( both being mutually exclusive terms ) all at the same time.
In case one doesn't believe in the above, he is supposed to be an 'aryan' by birth ( as per MK theory of racial orientation ) and can be classified as one of the following :

1. Mount Road Mahavishnu
2. Person with a thread across his body
3. Both 1 and 2.

Arundati Roy, where have you been so far ?

Recently Arundati Roy created yet another history by declaring independence for Kashmir. Nothing new for this knee-jerk author who wants to be seen where ever trouble brews. We have seen her recently with the PWG exremists when she wrote 'Walking with the comrades' - a supposedly great intellectual matter on the causes of naxalism in India ( probably hoping for another Booker Prize ). But the irony was that she was doing this after the Dantewada massacre.

Now she has uttered her verses on Kashmir as that is boiling right now as this is yet another 'progressive' note from a 'progressive' author.

Not sure where the author's feelings were about the suicide of farmers in Maharashtra while the farmers of Gujarat are well off, staff members of 'Dinakaran' were burnt alive in broad day light in Tamil Nadu ( does this not qualify for freedom of speech ??), SKS Microfinance episodes in Andhra Pradesh and what not.

 And as usual, 'The Hindu' carried the speech, her hurriedly written email and a glowing editorial defending the freedom of speech. Some questions though remain unanswered : Where were her feelings during the Nandigram episodes when an entire district was held to ransom by ruling party hooligans in West Bengal? Did not the fundamental right of the freedom to live peacefully infringed upon by the WB govt ? Probably there are different yardsticks for different political aura !

When C.N.Annadurai gave up the cause for sedition, he was hailed a hero. Did he not understand the futility of trying to separate from India from an economic and military point of view ?

 Can Arundati Roy cite a specific reason for separation from India ? What are the 'stone-pelters' and 'un-nailed-patriots' going to gain by separating from India ? What is their economic route to prosperity ? Would that not mean Kashmir would be on its way to become another Pakistan or Afghanistan ?

Let us not underestimate the sacrifice that India has done for J&K. Every penny that the Kashmiris spend today or the J&K govt spends is from the ordinary tax payer from the rest of India. Even the security accorded to Arundati while in Kashmir would have been from the pockets of the Shanmugams and Subramaniams of Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh.

In their 15 minutes of spotlight and heat of the circumstances, let not the authors like Arundati forget that such freedom of speech is available only in the Indian side of Kashmir and not on the Pakistan occupied side.

 Let the papers like 'The Hindu' understand that such freedoms of speech exist only in India and not in their utopian fatherland - China.

Tamils have original thinking ..

Did some one mention that the tamil community ( the direct translation of 'Thamizh Samudhaayaam' ) was there in existence from pre-historic times ( 'kal thonri man thnra kaalathey mun thonriya mootha tamizh kudi' ) ? The following picture seems to suggest that. In this era of great developments, we have many such places in Tamil Nadu that seek to remind us of our past.

This original thinking does not stop with lighting. Even in case of transportation of school children, the originality of thought is simply awe inspiring. While the whole world is falling head over heels in 'going-green', we tamils have had the great forethought to go green using a MUV -- Multi Utility Vehicle !!

In the land where the Right To Education Act has been implemented on April 1, 2010 ( an apt choice of date ), tamil genius helps go green as well as help implement the act.

Any reminder about the fat pay hikes to the MPs is purely coincidental !! No, don't get reminded by the 35,000 Crore CWG or the 400 Crore Semmozhi Maanaadu please !!

The impact of the New Indian Rupee

A picture speaks more than many words. This picture is one such .. the impact of the new Indian Rupee Symbol. If readers are reminded of Rs 32,000 Crore CWG wastage or the 100 % salary hike for the MPs, I am not responsible. Also any resemblances to the Karunanidhis and Kalmadis and the Rajas is purely coincidental.

Freedom,at last

We have celebrated the Independence Day for the nth time and have invoked Gandhi ( I mean the Mahatma for once ) as is the ritual. Yet another lacklustre monologue from the President and an equal performance from the Prime Minister ( for once the country came to know who was the Prime Minister ) - a puppet by design and a puppet by default respectively. So what does this independence day signify, if it signifies anything at all ? Well, I would think it means much to many people. Let us see one by one. The Terrorist from Kashmir ( No, not the Abdullah clan, the poor ones that pelt stones ) : Instead of hurling bombs, they can hurl stones so that we have a stone pelting industry in place. No body can belittle J&K of being backward in industry, you see. Sashi Tharoor : The freedom to openly flirt with a socialite and enter into a marriage arrangement. Purpose of relinquishig the UN Under Secretary General position has been achieved other than popularizing Twitter to the Indian masses. Long live Independence. A.Raja : The freedom to remain in office (by being in Gopalapuram on a daily basis ) despite all the brouhaha about the different spectrums. The freedom to be seen in the spectrum of the Saint Poetess from Chennai is all the more important than any other activity needing to be performed in Delhi. Alagiri : The freedom not to attend Parliament despite being the member of the same as well as the freedom of not answering questions in the Parliament. Not that it would make any difference even if he starts talking in the Parliament. CBI : The freedom to file cases against BJP State Ministers as per directions of Sonia and the freedom to stop pursuing the earlier cases on Quattrochchi once orders to that effect come from 10, Janpath. Such freedom is nowhere to be seen. Suresh Kalmadi : The freedom to forge e-mails from Indian High Commissions and award contracts to one-man companies in the name of sports.

Lord Balaji of Tirupathi : The freedom to hold assets of Rs 28,000 Crores only despite throusands of years of wealth accumulation while allowing the CWG ( Read : Congress Wealth Games ) to be conducted at 35,000 Crores.

Vaiko : The freedom to run a political party in the state of TN when all but himself have moved over to the DMK.

The BJP : The freedom to walk out of the parliament everytime somebody stands up to speak something. Additionally to treat all party members as party leaders. Incidentally to search for a person who is not known to anybody in the country except his own spouse and make him the President of the party ( Any resemblance to Nitin Gadkari is purely coincidental ).

M.Karunanidhi : The freedom to conduct a government by writing un-palatable dialogues and screenplays for un-seeable films. The freedom to ride a wheel chair all the way to Delhi when his family is in trouble. The eternal freedom to participate in valedictory functions organized by anybody from the society including but not restricted to kindergarten children.

Jayalalitha : The constant freedom to reside in a bungalow in a hill station and at the same time fight for the people of the state by releasing paid advertisements in news papers. Of late, staging demonstrations demanding chocolates for kindergarten children to be supplied free of cost.

The Congress Party in TN : The eternal freedom to run the Congress party from the DMK chief's house. The freedom to recite "Kamaraj Rule" mantra in as many occasions as possible. The freedom to control their laughter while talking about inner party democracy. The freedom to fight amongst one another to cut cakes during Sonia's birthday.

The People of Tamil Nadu : The freedom to demand a larger compensation from each political party during the time of elections. The freedom not to depend on electricity for their daily chores. The freedom to stand for many hours in front of Ration Shops ( euphemism for hells on earth ) to be told that the stock for the particular item that they want is not available. Additionally they have the right to live alongside mosquitoes in buildings that have the freedom to fall down at any moment ( the Housing Board Flats ) and enjoy their freedom not to complain about any thing on earth in the Dravidian Republic of Karunanidhi. The People of Gujarat : The freedom from not being protected by strict anti-terror laws like the Maharashtrians are being protected. While the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act is active in the state of Maharashtra, a carbon copy of the same law with the term 'Maharashtra' being replaced by 'Gujarat' is not acceptable to the Hon'ble President of India and hence the people of Gujarat are free not to be subject to the said law. How fortunate are the Gujaratis ? What a freedom they have !

Afzal Guru : Come December and there would be another anniversary of the attack on parliament and Afzal Guru enjoys his freedom to spend his on-going vacation in an indian jail sure of the fact that he is never going to be hung till death. He is actually making preparations to welcome Ajmal Kasab into his suite in Tihar so that the duo could jointly enjoy Indian hospitality at the ordinary tax-payers' cost, probably getting ready for the Ramadan feast at the end of the fasting season.

The Naxals: They have their freedom to choose the train that they want to sabotage. Even now there are no restrictions on them. They have all the human rights watch dogs to help them in the smooth conduct of their day to day affairs like train blasts, CRPF butchering etc.

The DMK : They have their freedom to do anything in TN. Let me not belittle their capabilities by writing about some of them. But conducting physical assaults on aged writers of the opposition front is not new to them and therefore they have outsourced those acts to local hoodlum groups. Delegation of tasks for better project management, you see !

The Lawyers from Tamil Nadu : The most privileged lot in the entire country whose voice even the judges of courts are afraid of. They have the freedom to speak only to the media. That is because they cannot enter the courts to place their arguments as they are boycotting the courts and thereby extending moral support to the people of Myanmar who are fighting for their rights. Did anybody mention about the rights of the people of TN whose voice is not heard in the courts of the land ? The Communists : The freedom to scold Mamata for anything going wrong in West Bengal ( not that something goes right. It has always been 'left'). The freedom to make the state left behind the other states because of their "left" orientied policies. Mamata Banerjee : The freedom to attribute any train disaster in any part of the country to the communists in West Bengal. Governors of Congress Ruled States: The freedom to remain inside the Raj Bhavans of the states and occassionally indulge in proclivities not worthy of the offices that they hold. Governors of BJP Ruled States: The freedom to perform their duties as loyal servants of the Congress Party and act according to the wishes of 10, Janpath. The Prime Minister : The freedom to remain mum at any cost even when China declares that New Delhi is an integral part of China. And the freedom to remain under ground when events of national importance occur. And the freedom to mumble mono-syllables in press conferences. Pratiba Patil : The freedom to constantly remind the people of India and the world that she is totally different from her predecessor by exercising her freedom to be inactive on almost everything. A.P.J.Abdul Kalam : The freedom to deliver speeches to school children about a developed India. The middle classes of India : The freedom to remain in eternal wait for an India that Kalam often speaks about.

UPA-II ( Unified Plundering Authority - Ver 2.0 )

Well, not really sure what to write about. Something like you wouldn't know from which side of the bread that you should eat first. No matter the side, the bread would taste all the same. Likewise, wherever you start from there is one uniform stench that emanates - the one of corruption and official malfeasance. Next the UPA II should be credited for one achievement of theirs - once you concentrate your energies and start collecting your thoughts on how to write about that particular 'achievement' - read malfeasance, corruption, demeaning act - then another comes about totally out of the blue and completely washes you off your feet so that you don't know as to what happened to the earlier one with the result that the perpetrators of the earlier crime - read discharge of one's 'official duty' in the service of the nation- are forgotten by the media and the people at large. We encounter the peculiar nature of the current dispensation -the declaration of motto of UPA - II. The motto is : Un-hindered Plundering at any cost. The mascot being the Prime Minister who has put his image in the line to safeguard the all round plundering that happens at the backend. When we start looking at the Spectrum achievement and start reading more on that and collect some thoughts on the same, the IPL looms into the foreground. Every high ranking minister is involved leave alone what his ministry has got to do with a pure betting exercise called IPL. The agriculture minister who doesn't have time to look into the rising prices of essential grains has got enough time at his disposal to wriggle in a betting enterprise. His cabinet colleague Praful Patel who is incharge of aviation and is not able to control Air India's woes has enough time at his disposal for IPL. Reason : National Service via IPL, you have to believe that. Farmers are committing suicides in Maharashtra due to debt woes. The agriculture minister spends his time in IPL and BCCI. Reason : National Service via IPL and BCCI, you have to believe that. Many thousands of tonnes of wheat get rotten due to lack of storage facilities. Agriculture minister negotiates import of wheat from Australia. What economics this ? Probably the economic stalwart in the Prime Minister would know ! While we linger on wheat, another wind blows over - the CWG mess. Suresh Kalmadi defends all his actions with a forged e-mail from the indian high commission from London only to accept a couple of days later that some irregularities would have happened in the CWG affairs. And the Prime Minister maintains his calm and composure as if nothing of significance has happened while the whole world laughs at India's handling of the pre-games affairs. While China had completed its preparations for last year's olympics an year earlier and Britain has completed its olympics preparations for the 2012 olympics, India still is not ready yet for the CWG that would start in October this year. Aspiring for superpower status, did you say. Time is running out for Sachin Tendulkar. His score is being bettered by Naxals everyday. The day is not far off when Naxals begin television broadcasts from their independent nation comprising of Andhra, Jharkhand and Uttaranchal. While this is the case, the union home minister talks of 'inclusive' talks, un-conditional talks and the like only to be countered by his own cabinet colleagues the next day. His only competitor in incompetence is S.M.Krishna who kept mum, looking like a doll, when the Pak minister lambasted the Indian Home Secretary. What is the PM's take on this ? -- A complete mum on the whole affair. I don't know how many more times would India need to handover dossiers to Pakistan giving credible evidence of its involvement in the 26/11 attacks. I have strong reasons to believe that there is some secret pact with the dossier making industry to make it more profitable than even Microsoft.

Why are Raja & Azhagiri better than Sashi Tharoor ?

So, what did Azhagiri do wrong that has made him the so-called 'villain' in the Indian Parliament ? What was the heinous crime committed by Azhagiri ? He didn't answer questions pertaining to his ministry. He didn't do so because he hadn't attended Parliament since the last one year.He didn't attend theParliamanent since the last one year because he was preoccupied with other foreign travels. International business development pertaining to his ministry probably. So there is reason enough for him not to be able to attend Parliament and hence not answer questions. So what is the noise in the media about ? Let us imagine that Azhgiri had attended Parliamament and answered questions.

How would that have mattered ? Would the Fertilizer prices have come down to the delight of the farmers ? Would the price of the essential grains have come down thus bringing down the inflation ? Could the answers have saved the farmers from committing suicides ?

So what is the large debate about ? If this is about the vacation that Azhagiri had in Maldives when the Parliament was in session, even then that does not matter. This too doesn't matter because nothing ever gets done in the Parliament now-a-days. Azhagiri's probable answers would have helped the opposition members to stage a walk out thus compensating for missing their morning walks, if they had missed them.

So when the opposition asked the Speaker of the Lok Sabha to know about the whereabouts of Azhagiri, she expressed her ignorance. So did the Prime Minister. So when the Prime Minister himself is not concerned about the whereabouts of his Cabinet Minister, why should the opposition be concerned ? Just because they are opposition members why should they oppose ? How does the opposition dare ask about the whereabouts of Azhagiri ? The Prime Minister's ignorance can be pardoned as it is a well known fact that the PM does not have a say in who should be in his Cabinet. It is decided by Powers-that-be and he is a mute spectator. Therefore asking the Prime Minister about one of his cabinet ministers is atrocious.

Then what is the point of bringing in Shashi Tharror here ? How does he compare with Azhagiri ?

Well, here you have the suave and highly erudite Tharoor on the one hand who was a minister of state and on the other hand you had Azhagiri on whom you cannot attribute these qualities. And it is not Azhagiri's fault that he cannot be the repository of such attributes.

But, even with these admirable attributes, Tharoor is not even a minister of state but Azhagiri continues to be a Cabinet Minister even without attending Parliament for the last one year. So, who is better ? Here is a Cabinet Minister who is not answerable to the Parliament, leave alone the Prime Minister. He still continues to be a minister whereas Tharoor is busy cooling his heels in 'God's own land'.

Let us, for a moment leave alone Tharoor's in-experience in handling a woman accomplice and ineptitude in handling a smaller scam to the tune of Rs.70 crores. Mind it, this was not public money / government money - this was private money in a black money diven private enterprise called as the IPL.

With all erudition and suave diplomatic characteristics, Tharoor was booted out of Parliament in a manner that not even Shibu Soren, a convict, is entitled to. His explanations were not even heard in the IPL row. When he attempted to speak, his words were not received at all. That was because he did not belong to a political class that has made politics as a means of earning money without any compunctions; a class that has made general public opinion a matter of print fit only for tissue paper; a class that has ensured that great political debate does not occur in the parliament. And here is a politician who has had dubious credentials as the chief of a fiefdom to the south of Tamil Nadu and who has created a new method of wining elections with blatant disregard to the norms yet still continues to be an Union Minister even without attending Parliament for the last one year. And there is this Prime Minister who doesn't know where his Cabinet Minister was. Of course the PM wouldn't have been taken by surprise this time as he has had this experience already when Shibu Soren went underground for some time even while being an Union Minister.

Hence, Azhagiri, the minister who is eternally present in Madurai, is far better suited to Indian politics than the erstwhile UN Under Secretary General. Tharoor is fit only for the US and not for us, the Indians while Azhagiri is fit to represent us in Parliament, although in eternal absentia, from Maldives.

Next in line is Raja. Sssshhhhh. Never talk about him. Just like you should not talk about "In-Justice" Dinakaran. However taller might be their acts of misdemeanor, they should not be acted upon and neither should they be talked about. That is social-justice as these two belong to a special class that Karunanidhi often talks about.

Some 'Rationalist Derivations'

Day after day, you keep hearing the heroic deeds of the 'warrior' class called 'Tamils'. Not a day passes without a special mention about the 'tamil pride' and erstwhile bravery of the 'Thalapathis' and 'Anja Nenjans' ( loosely translated as 'Commanders' and 'fear-less hearts' respectively) in many a news paper. Special functions are held every alternate day to appreciate some leader of the 'tamil pantheon' for some supposedly brave act, an impossible feat that was supposed to have been accomplised by the person who is sought to be appreciated. Titles and awards flow freely in the state with every person awarding the other and the other reciprocating the gesture. If you happen to see two people talking in the street then the probablity of one giving away an award to the other cannot be discounted. Don't ask as to what the award was for. An award has to be presented to somebody on a daily basis and that is a sacrosanct duty of the tamil populace. No questions to be asked by the news papers. They usually don't for the large amounts of advertisement material from the powers that be. So, why spoil the steady revenue flow ? Did somebody mention 'freedom of the press' and 'un-biased reporting' ? Probably you are referring to some words that are not even present in the dictionary. Now is the period in history where news papers are paid to publish a news. Leave alone the awards. Let us look at the titles that prefix the names of the dignitaries. As per our tamil nadu's tradition, one is supposed to address another by the title and not by one's name. If you happen to mention somebody's name, even by mistake, then you should probably belong to the so-called upper echelons of the society who does not want to recognize the title holder by the title. How dare you invoke one by his / her name ? Sacrilege, you see. Some titles and the spirit behind the same :

1. "Amma" - In ancient times used to refer to one's mother. But of late has come to mean only one person in the 'Rationalist Republic of Tamil Nadu'. If you happen to mention the true name of this person, then you are probably against the female gender and you are probably a male chauvenist.
2. "Annai" - This also used to mean one's mother. Currently means the female power center that reigns the country by proxy from New Delhi. Don't ever mention the name for a CBI case would be filed against you anytime soon.
3. "Kalaignar" - Originally used to mean an artist. Its current synonyms roughly translate as "An expert in the three forms of the tamil language", " The Thiruvalluvar who is alive", "The Head of the Tamil Family Worldwide", "The Tamil Language", "The Tamil Motherhood's only son" etc
4. "Udan Pirappu" - originally meant one's sibling. Currently means the grass roots worker of the party of "Kalaignar". Literal meaning would vary from 'readily available human-self-immolation-inventory' to 'humans spending all their lives for the DMK to the detriment of their own family'. In otherwords means 'a sacrificial goat'. They are also the only readers of the party organ 'Murasoli' and who who get paid to attend party meetings.
5. "Rathaththin Raththam" - literal meaning - blood of the blood. Not sure what that means. Probably should mean the DNA, RNA, Haemoglobin etc of the blood. Currently means the equivalent of 'Udan Pirappu' in the AIADMK. This group waits in the hot sun for over 12 hours to have a darshan of 'Amma' for 2 minutes.
6. "Thalabathy" - No, not the tamil film of the same name. Currently represents the only person in tamil nadu - the Right Honourable Deputy Chief Minister who is also one of the chosen the sons of the Chief Minister ( in other words "Kalaignar"). Not sure about the wars that he had led from the front.
7. 'Anja Nenjan" - Literally means 'the heart that has no fear'. Currently means the other son of the CM. He also happens to be an Union Minister of Chemicals. Inquiries into the relation between his educational qualifications and the position that he holds are un-warranted. Such inquiries shall expedite one's funeral. He has the innate capability to represent the people of Tamil Nadu in the Parliament without having spoken even once for them in the august assembly. A gifted non-speaker whose ignorance of both Hindi and English has not handicapped him from being an MP. Person who has devised a new electoral mechanism wherein money automatically lands itself in the hands of the voters in white envelopes prior to elections. No body has been able to identify the source of money. Probably Scotland Yard detectives are needed for the same.
8. "Eezha Thamizh Thalabathy" - This could be loosely attributed to Thirumavalavan, Nedumaran, Vaiko and the lot. Anybody who raises ones' decibel levels over the others on the Sri Lankan issue at any point in time could be termed as Eezha Thamizh Thalabathy. In the current political scenario this does not fetch any electoral dividend and hence has been discarded by the ruling DMK. Therefore there are many left-over-chasers who have been detailed above.
9. "Varungaala Mudhalvar" - Literally means the 'future chief minister'. India is so free that anybody can use this title. In fact, it has become a practice to invoke just-born children with this title. Latest entrant into this 'elite-club' is Mr.Karthik Chidambaram whose only qualification is that he is the son of Mr.P.Chidambaram.
10. "Doctor" - Literally means the person who practises medicine as a profession. Currently means who has enough money to lavish on the ruling party so that he could be conferred with this title. Chances are, if you happen to pass by an university, you will be 'doctored' on a first come first serve basis. Otherwise how do you call Stalin a Doctor ?
