Laloo becomes a model

After having resigned as the CM of Bihar, Laloo decides to go modelling.
Once he enters the herd of buffaloes and resting his elbow on the back of the
cattle he poses for a photograph. Next day the photo appears on the front page
of a newspaper.
GUESS THE CAPTION !!
"Laloo, third from left!"

XI Odes To The Indian XI

India’s not playing too well, Defeat has a sour smell, Tired bowlers can take no wickets, Flashy bats keep punching their tickets, Blame it all on the IPL.

Pawarful Slapstick

Once upon a time, you really hadn't arrived in Indian politics unless you'd had footwear hurled at you. But things change fast in politics and the flavour of the day is the slap.
