About ‘With Malice to None: Revisited ’ 

 

‘With Malice to None: Rvisited’ is a sequel to my earlier E-Book ‘Scorpio Stings’ you might have read on http://www.bookrix.com/_ebook-scorpio-scorpio-stings-3/ .

 

‘Scorpio Stings’ was a collection of my unbiased commentary on an array of selected events that had attracted a high degree of media attention during the last 10 years. These comments were generally lengthy and carried more brickbats than bouquets.   They, however, did not find a place in social media like Face book for the fact that I was not very active in Facebook those days.

 

‘With Malice To None’ is a compilation of my FB postings for the last four months ie from Jan to Apr 2015. These are not really stings in the real sense, but impromptu comments mostly short, witty and spicy that propped up in my mind from time to time. I sincerely feel that this anthology may not test your patience, as ‘Scorpio Stings’ would have done to some of you!

 

As the name suggests, no malice is intended towards any person or political party or any organ of the Govt. Hope that the true perceptions of my comments may not be misconstrued by the knowledgeable readers.

 

Lastly, I would like to tender my sincere apologies to Late Khushwant Singh for using his most celebrated title “ With Malice towards One and All” with slight modification aimed at gaining an anticipatory bail!

 

Thanking You

 01 Jan : New Year Wish 

 

One boy,  may be between 20-25 , I used to see him regularly on my morning walk. He is a construction worker, from Bengal or Assam I don't know exactly.

 

When  we met today on the road I wished him "Happy New Year ." He wished me back by raising his shabby  monkey cap and said " Happy No where saab " exactly rhyming as " Happy New Year"

 

Bit surprised I asked him "Hi,  Why are you saying this ? Aren't you feeling Happy Today?" 

 

He replied " Hamareliye happy adhoori hai saab. . Hum ko tho jeena ithar hai, aur marna bhi ithar hai saab, humko Happy no where Saabji "

 

 Frankly speaking I was stunned for a moment.

 

He is not the only one, there are thousands of these boys, from Eastern India building flats and factories in this God's Own Country for us, who will  I am sure echo the same sentiments !

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

03 Jan: Pianarai Vijayan Says  

 

" We knew well that Oommen Chandy will not resign when we launched our last agitation" 

 

Comrade,  Did you get any lead suggesting that the CM will resign this time when you start the next agitation on 05th Jan?

 

 If not, why waste your efforts, money and time, and test our patience?

"UDF വിടുന്നവർക്ക് BJP മാത്രമേ ആശ്രയമുള്ളു എന്ന അവസ്ഥ കേരളത്തിൽ ഉണ്ടാവില്ല. യാതൊരു സംശയവും ഇക്കാര്യത്തിൽ വേണ്ടാ. UDF വിട്ടാൽ അനാഥമായിപ്പോകും എന്ന ചിന്ത ആവശ്യമില്ല"

03 Jan : Suresh Gopi on Vachakamela 

 

 

"രാജ്യ സഭ മെമ്പർ ആക്കാനും മന്ത്രിയാക്കാനുമുളള തീരുമാനം മോദിജി തിരഞ്ഞെടുപ്പിന് മുൻപേ സൂചിപ്പിച്ചിരുന്നതാണ്‌. അങ്ങിനെ സംഭവിച്ചാൽ അദ്ഭുതപ്പെടെണ്ടതില്ല "  Suresh Gopi in Vachakamela

 

എവിടം വരെ ആയി കാര്യങ്ങൾ?

 

 

05 Jan : Most Preposterous !

 

ന്യൂ ഡൽഹി "പാകിസ്ഥാനിൽ നിന്ന് സ്ഫോടക വസ്തുക്കളു മായി എത്തിയ ബോട്ട് തീര രക്ഷാ സേന തകർത്ത സംഭവത്തിൽ വൻ ഭീകരാക്രമണം തടഞ്ഞതാണെന്ന സർക്കാരിന്റെ അവകാശ വാദത്തിന് തെളിവില്ലെന്ന് കോണ്‍ഗ്രസ്‌". മനോരമ

 

 Congress was ruling the nation for the last ten years. They were using the same Coast guards, Int agencies and other wings of Def Services to guard the country against Pakistan. Not even once the Congress Govt had disowned the findings and claims of these agencies on the matters concerning the national security. Now on the fine morning of o4 Jan Congress comes out with the most preposterous statement which virtually discredits the Def Services and its Intelligence agencies. Never expected from Congress which boasts of traditions of clean politics following the legacy of Jawaharlal Nehru and Lal Bahadur Sastry.

 

  

11 Jan : Unquotable quote

 

 

 "If I ever needed a brain transplant, I'd choose Rahul's because I'd want a brain that had never been used."

 

  Sorry,  don't recollect who said this!

 

  

12 Jan : Arnab Gowami outwitted!

 

 

 

 OMG ! Arnab Goswamy has finally been outwitted by four stalwarts from the opposite sex, Can you believe! In Supertime Debate No 1 of Times Now tonight four ladies viz Nupur , Ragini, Athishi and Shaizi , sorry; I can’t recollect their surnames, in the presence of three senior journalists Rajagopalan, Aarthi Jerath and Kamal Mitra Chenoi who would vouch for me , jointly floored Arnab Goswamy with their non stop verbal attacks, I am not calling verbal diarrhea, directed at each other most of the time hitting in thin air! Arnab always maintained a talk time of about 70 % in all debates despite valiant efforts by Sanajay Jhas.Samit Patras, Gaurav Bhatias, CR Kesavans , Maneesh Tiwaris etc with their spiral vocabularies in the past. Kudos to these ladies ! The fact is that if these ladies can create a record by stealing more time from Arnab Goswamy the most feared TV anchor of the Indian TV Screen then we just cannot complain that our systems need changes and our women need to be empowered more and more ! . Rahul Gandhi is left with Hobson’s choice to go for new jargons and catch phrases for his addresses in the forth coming Delhi elections 

 

  

14 Jan:  To be or not to be that is the Question!

 

Discussion on Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi's prospective elevation to the party's presidency was not on the agenda of the CWC meeting this time.

 

 "Rahul Gandhi is our vice president and he is playing a very prominent role (in the party). He is also guiding from upfront on many organization matters." one Congress leader asserts 

 

It seems that the May 2014 fiasco is still looming large over the Congress Party

17 Jan:  A request to ABhishek Singhvi 

 

 

 Early in the morning Abhishek Singhvi, the congress spokesperson who earned lot of publicity on all TV channels with his uncharitable attack on Kiren Bedi blaming her for her overweening ambition to become the CM of Delhi,heard his door bell ringing repeatedly. Cursing himself he got out of the Razai and came and opened the door.To his utmost surprise a young man handed over beautiful bouquet with a tag on it.

 

 Abhishek Singhvi out of curiosity read the writing on the tag fetching his highly powered glass. It went thus :"Dear Mr Singhvi,I know your Birthday is on 24 Feb, but please accept my best wishes well in advance. i would request you for a favor too, please don't mind. kindly address the Delhi public once again and declare firmly that " Ms Kiren Bedi well never become the Chief Minister of Delhi. NEVER,NEVER, NEVER"If you recall prior to May 2014 elections Mr Mani Shankar Iyer, your friend, called Modi a chayawala and categorically said "Modi will nerver become the PM of India, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER". What happened is history. Iyer ate his words that he would go to Pakistan I am a firm a believer of this NEVER mantra the Congress uses, it will have always the opposite effect .

 

So kindly oblige! Let us celebrate KIren Bedi becoming the CM of Delhi. regards Silent Majority of Delhi 

 

 

18 Jan : AK Antony , Man of the hour! 

 

 

 A K Antony says he doesn't believe in miracles. but what happened in INC in Kerala is really a miracle, virtually meaning that he engineered the miracle!

 

If he can make miracles to happen why not rush to Delhi and cause another MIRACLE and save the sinking ship of Indian National Congress? thereby Save the Country!

 

A man of Antony's stature is the need  of the hour!
