From "The Google" to the "Internets"

Just like most of you I watched the President talk about "The Google". I wondered if he spent as much time as I   did on the "Internets". Probably not. After all the commander in chief of the United States of America has better things to search for. As for me, I spend some of my time on the "Internets", using   "The Google" to search for   some old crush from high school who had a dimple on her cheek.Too bad the President used the same tool to look for maps. I wonder what kind of maps he looked for. The map to get out of Iraq or the map to reach Tehran or Pyong Yang.

Maybe I should find a better usage of the "Internets". Apart from looking at undressed or underdressed fellow citizens and raising my blood pressure, I could put "The Google" to better effect. After all, not so long ago our Indian government had raised concerns that "The Google" can show where our Nuclear Installations are. How naive am I? We have our own version of Area 51 and I was unaware of. How shameful?

Yes, President Bush can fumble over the "IT" words after all, he is not a Chandrababu Naidu. He can add plural to the internet because he is not known to do otherwise. Before he became the President, he would not have been able to point where the silly Kabul was. How can you blame him when half of his countrymen and women who elected him think that Peurto Rico is a separate country and the rest wanted to call French fries as freedom fries not long ago.

If Laloo could do it anybody else could? Would it be shame as not to pick on the closest resemblance of a politician in India to the President. Sure they may have never met each other face to face, sure the Yadav would never be personally escorting the first lady on a state tour, but what the heck, I could make fun of him just because he had audacity to ask his illiterate wife to be the chief minister   in order   to keep the throne in family.

But seriously would'nt that thought actually crossed people's mind. If a Yadav can muster enough votes to stay on power and guess what be the railway minister then he must be doing something right. Apparently he knows his cards well enough. Don't we all know what happened to the other Yadav who was the defense minister for some time? I wish I was a politician instead. A word of wisdom to self,     "To rule millions of illiterate and poverty stricken Indians is not by writing unnecessary blogs across the globe but to ruin the communal harmony and whip up the rhetorical frenzy in downtown Mumbai or Patna".

It is not about a Yadav or a Singh or a Naik or a Rao. Every person sitting on a chair knows that the indifference with which we deal with day to day issues is very much in grown. Chalta hai yaar, so chala lete hain. Did we not elect the same politicians who think that it is right to instigate one community against another. Let the burning trains remain evidence that it was not politicians who let us down, but we as citizens let ourselves down. Did we not elect the same person to power because his/her father/mother was a politician before. Yes we believe that politics runs in family and so does the inheritence of bad governence. How can I complain when I am privy to what I did or did not.

If USA has its Bushism we have our own Sidhuism. and on that note, it appears that our sons of "Bleu" are going down under very soon. Need I say they need a pat in the back, make it a couple of inches lower and call it a kick in the lower pelvic area.
