You are here: If The Shoe Fits
As we all know, the latest trend in Indian politics is of shoe-slinging. You really haven't arrived in Indian politics unless you've had footwear hurled at you.
And while Indian shoemakers are gearing up to face the challenge of rising demand for hurlable shoes, the Chinese have been watching. And seeing an opportunity, they want to jump in to the fray, as this recent email from a Chinese manufacturer proves. Beware not the foreign hand, but the foreign footwear!

Bihari on the train
There was this Bihari who was travelling with two tickets, so when the T.T.E asked for the ticket, this fellow gave both the tickets, and so the T.T.E asked him the reason of buying two tickets, this fellow answered well what will happen if in case I lose one of them, so the T.T.E said what if you lose both of them, so this guy said then why do I have a monthly pass.

Some stories you just can't make up.
Like this one from the Washington Post. We bet the writer of the headline spent hours in wonder before delivering this bit of brilliance: Pakistan struggles to attract tourists amid violence.
Ah, we see. Is that what it is?

Earlier this year, we had presented The A To Z Of India In 2011. Hey, lots of stuff (and nonsense) happened since then. Things got worse. So, we’re back, with another go at recapping the year that was, which can variously be described as India’s Annus Horribilis or Annas Horribilis.

These are some of the neologisms that Anna Hazare has spawned - in my mind. Blame it on the hysterically fawning electronic media; the faux but sincere Gandhian, poor man, had little to do with them.

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.
Among the ruins, standing tall,
Is the man we call The Wall,
Dravid, recalled to the one-days,
For the BCCI may as well say,
“The others... » READ MORE
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.
