வேஷம்

பிரபாகரன் இறந்தான் - ஊரெல்லாம் பேச்சு

நம்ம தலைவர்கள்

ராமதாஸ், வை.கோ, ஜெயா
தேர்தலில் செருப்படி வாங்கியதால் மௌனம்!

கருணாநிதி
காங்கிரஸிடம் அமைச்சர் பதவிக்கு கை ஏந்தும் நேரம்.
அதனால் அமைதி!

உண்மை நிறம் - இதுதான்.

தேர்தலுக்கு முன் போட்டது 'வேஷம்'

Exit polls - Joke !

This is not the first time exit polls have gone wrong in Indian elections. I am not sure how they do these polls. Looks like a big joke !

I didn't see any exit poll pundits on TV (so far). Would be interesting to ask them what kind of samples they used in the polls to get it so wrong !

I would advise these companies to shut up in the coming elections or maybe go to an Astrologer rather than waste time analyzing the exit poll data.

By the way - All of you who believe in Astrology - Did anyone predict these results ? I didn't read / see anything !

Rahul Gandhi

This is what the LTTE did to India a few decades back !!
Memories of that sad day still linger in my heart.

This is today.

I am happy to see and hear that Rahul Gandhi is one of the reasons for UPA's thumping win in this election.

This time, he will be a Minister for sure and I love it.

India badly needs a leader like him.

My hope is, he'll become the Prime Minister in the next elections !

Only time can tell.

Until then - Best wishes 'Rahul' !

Election Coverage - II

12:06 am Saturday

Dayanidhi Maran was on Headlines Today.

Here is what he said:

  • Opportunistic Politicians like the PMK Chief will see their own demise.

Question - What about your Mr. Maran ? Why did you fight with and then join hands with Grandpa and kids? Wasn't that opportunistic too?
  • It was media hype especially by Mr.Ram of 'The Hindu' - that ADMK will route the DMK.

Question - What about all the PRO DMK Media? What happened to those voices? What happened to Murasoli and Dinakaran?

  • Achievements - 1 Kg rice and 100,000 TV Sets !!

Question - What about the Power situation in Tamil Nadu? After all TVs need power !!

Election Coverage

Courtesy: Adhithi via cellphone

It's now 10.34 PM Pacific time. I just realized I've been sitting in front of the TV watching election coverage from India, since 6.30 PM !

Very interesting indeed. I was watching the live feeds from Headlines Today and SUN TV along with Kairali, Aajtak and Samay.

Here are some points:

Why isn't there a Tamil equivalent for 'Breaking News' and 'News Flash'. Or was it SUN TV who used the English words.

As expected I didn't see anyone from ADMK being interviewed by SUN TV. I am sure the same would have happened in Jaya TV !

Questionable English as you would see from the photo above ( Telecasted ..!! ).

Many of the regional politicians mentioned Obama !! Even, Thiruma..!! God, I thought he was an illiterate, who knew only one word "EELAM".

Headlines today's coverage was good. Was nice to see leaders of all party talk decently. MJ Akbar was wonderful !

Overall I would give Headlines Today an A+.

My prediction - It's going to be Dr.Manmohan Singh again.


Congratulations Dr.Singh.

தமிழ்நாடு நாறுது
உமிழ்நீராய் மாறுது

ஈழத்துக்கு கூவுகிறார்கள்
பாழும் அரசியல்வாதிகள்!


நிற்க....

ENNORE EXPRESSWAY !

Jayalalitha - stinks !

Jayalalitha - Talking thru the rear end !!

Watched her stupid POLL Talk today. What a shame.

She says, 'Didn't Indira Gandhi send troops to East Pakistan, to liberate Bangladesh ? I'll make sure the Indian Govt sends troops to Sri Lanka to win Eelam ".

What's next Miss.JJ, how about a Tamil state in the USA, Canada, Malaysia and Singapore? Any promises?

As long as there are people who fall for these stupid poll promises, there will be people who use the rear ends to talk !!


Unfortunately there is a long distance between the two ends !

Elections

I don't understand why elections go on for a month or so in India.

Aren't there chances of rigging? What about the bias that would occur based on exit polls from regions that had the elections earlier.

Does anyone know why ? I find it very funny. Why should it be this way?

I was listening to NPR this evening where they way talking about Mayavathi and the chances of a Dalit becoming the Prime Minister of India.

I have a gut feeling it can happen. Who would have dreamt that a black man would be the President of United States. President Obama created ( a well deserved ) history.

Now let's see if it happens in India.
Mayawati Kumari is the chief minister of one of India's largest and poorest states. She's also the richest woman in India and one of the best known. Now there's talk about her possibly becoming the country's next prime minister.


My 2 cents: It doesn't matter who comes to power ! Let democracy rule !
