Back with my Harthal wishes.
Harthal wishes to all my Countrymen.Many many happy returns of the day.
For the kind information of those from outside Kerala,my home state :
This is our second harthal in roughly 10 days in Kerala.The earlier one,which we celebrated last saturday was called by the ruling Left-front of Kerala against the Central Government's decision to hike fuel prices.As usual,as part of the festivities associated with it,violent incidents were reported from parts of the state.
This time around,I mean today;today's strike is :
A Nation-wide Bharat Bandh by the main opposition party,the BJP.
And surprise,surprise,an all India harthal by Left-front.
The reason given by the BJP,Left for the strike?
Fuel price hike.
So effectively,as far as the state of Kerala is concerned,Left parties had 2 harthals,one on 26th June 2010 and the other today,5th july 2010,protesting against the same issue,THE FUEL PRICE HIKE.Howzzaatt...
1 issue = 2 strikes.
Only sour thing about today's strike is that the BJP and Left chose the same day for their strike.They could had a mutual discussion and could have arrived at two different dates.This is a wastage of a strike !!
If one of the parties agreed for a different date,we could have had another strike quickly..hmm.
Just watched a News report,where-in it's reported that 72 buses in Mumbai are damaged by striking shiv sainiks.Well,not only BJP,the whole NDA + SP + other sundries in Indian politics are also striking,in-addition to the glorious Left,ofcourse.
By the time today's strike ends,hope more buses will be damaged,more public property will be destroyed.
Hope,atleast after this strike,all the sky-rocketed prices will come down,latest by tomorrow (6th july 2010) evening.This is not to say that the Left Harthal of 26th June 2010 had no effect on Kerala.It had the desired impact.Public property was destroyed in many places,you know :|

Hope the next big terror attack in India is not around the corner
India again talking to pak.Home Minister Chidambaram in pak.Indian news channels are once again excited.Prime time discussions in news studios on the possible outcome of the talks.
Well,things look bright,isn't it??
Chidambaram was received in the airport by pak interior minister rehman malik.The same malik who sees an India hand in pak's troubles in baluchistan and elsewhere in pak.
In the past,it always happened that when India-pak talks,a major terror attack or betrayal of the sort seen in Kargil happens.
Hoping and praying that this time,it will be different.Let there be ZERO progress made in talks,but for God's sake,we don't need another major terror attack on Indian soil in the aftermath of a bilateral 'dialogue'.

Without me there will be anarchy
Facing a stiff challenge to stem the decline of the Left Front in West Bengal, Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee today asserted that the alternative to the Front rule was anarchy and asked supporters not to be demoralised by the success of the opposition. "Change for what? Anarchy? West Bengal is in no mood to fall behind.
We want to move ahead in agriculture, industry, education, health, human development. Is there any substitute to it?" Bhattacharjee told a Left Front rally to mark the completion of 33 years of uninterrupted rule in the state.
Ohhh...reallyyy???
Alternative to the Left-front government is ANARCHY??
But excuse me.....After 33 long and straight years of Left rule,is West Bengal any better or far away from anarchy??
Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee says "We want to move ahead in agriculture, industry, education, health, human development."
Sir,why were you static all these years??
Mr.Chief Minister,you should think,think hard and sound,why the people of Bengal has finally started thinking of an alternative,even if that alternative could be a even worse Mamata Banerjee.
Personally I am not a great fan of Mamata Banerjee.She is not the kind of person one wants as the head of a state government.She is reasonably good only when in opposition,with her gimmicks and cheap tricks.But then,if she is the only alternative available for the 33 years of utter chaos,that is the Left-front governance,well,it seems people of Bengal is ready and they have no choice,but to have a go at it and try and see how Mamata manages Bengal!
God help them!
But then life goes on.
33 years they suffered the ordeal of a Left rule.
Now over to Mamata..
