Oliver “Twists n Ask for More”

Oliver Twist by accident of his birth had no choice but to have a second name Twist. We have the Neo-Olivers, nothing to do with damaged livers, surprise considering that most of them have only their choice of Liquor predominately indicated proudly on their Profiles, Old Monk, Gin etc. These Neo-Olivers do things differently – Oliver Twist got less than what he deserved and asked for more. Neo-Olivers Twist & Turn “their” stuffs and ask for more than what they agreed.

These “Twists” run their business banking on just one product (very dangerous considering the times we live in). Multi-product portfolios to hedge the risks is a good and prudent entrepreneurial practice. But then prudence is unheard both in their lexicon of discourse and practice. For a day, they were happy and stood vindicated when they got an opportunity to ramp up the production line was tuned up in anticipation of a windfall volume – expectation of a surplus. Yes, they banked on One Product industry – Gujarat CM Narendra Modi Bashing Industry (NaMo Bashing in short) – well oiled and inured for about 11 years, to provide them some inputs to step up their outputs. Not often do they get an opportunity to  nitpick as many times as “God of their Survival” (No, not Yamraj) is giving on a platter in 4 times 36 hours. But Alas! It was not to be. When they could not get their gruel, they went and asked for more… and how?

The Main Factory was CNN-IBN lead by Cacafonix Journalistic Bimbo (as my friend @mediacrooks refers to her – You can read his extremely Media-Adoring blogs here ) Remember she single handedly was responsible for trending #CNNIBNLies for a solid 72 hours + on Twitter for that “Fake The Nation” farce – try to pass off a Recording of His Holiness Pujya Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar of Art of Living as a Live Interview.

This sets up the prelude and the tone of further discourse. There was nothing to criticize in the speeches. So here we go…

A few of my tweets, looking for my bunny (just for her to know that her absence was felt by me 😉  But I had tweeted asking where she was  (Even AshutoshIBN7  was shown on camera-So I missed her)

My Tweet right at the Beginning of #ThinkIndia - Bunny missing in Action

Then came the moment – #NaMo asking Sagarika hain kya?

Sure enough, she tweeted this :-)

Collar-Up But it is a bluff she had to stay back due to Thatcher’s death (She never knew, she is not a person to miss an opportunity to break news). And carefully note that A misplaced Compliment

Remember the above  Tweet how her mind changes in a later tweet about Thatcher liking the speech.

For that enquiry from Narendra Modi, Sagarika is elated – starts on a Eulogy trip

Effect of NaMo asking for Sagarika at #ThinkIndia

Look for a tweet later, where she goes on a reverse gear on the same statement. Unless she justifies that she only said “Modi unafraid to talk openly”

Another Flowing Praise for the Life-File Statement

Found nothing to complain or nitpick and then started her rants

Check the Videos later in this post to nail this lie (and her own Tweet – next picture) Also a clarification from Miyyan (later in this post)

The above tweet elicited n reply from another handle but in first person ….interesting. Remember CNN-IBN is used to managing many accounts to fake tweets too. This account will be deleted for sure since it is exposed. But I would keep a careful watch on it 🙂

Next the Errand Boy of the Home Channel steps in with some weird “Coincidence”

Pray! Can someone explain what is coincidence here?

Parting Shot

Don’t forget the last video, a hilarious one  from an overexcited CONgress/Pappu fan (funnier was when  looked around the studio each time he  blabbered something, for approval. Visibly he seem unable to come to terms with being on TV (Probably a debut) – Watch a statement of his blurted out in excitement. EPIC “Neutral Supporter” blabber of  a CONgress Troll (and he calls others troll. How can you be Neutral yet be a supporter. CONgis on Twitter have their own lexicon 😉 Sri Rachit Seth @rachitseth (this guy is hilarious even on twitter with this stupidity)

Symphony and Cacaphony

Let me set this blog to music with what His Holiness Pujya Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar has to say about “Music”

HH Gurudev Sri Sri Playing the Veena during Navratri
HH Gurudev Sri Sri Playing the Veena during Navratri

“Spirituality and music, together, can uplift people, get them out of depression and help them start a new life with enthusiasm. For a stress-free life, you have to embrace both these facets (spirituality and music).”

The Art of Living has laid a foundation stone for unity and harmony through a series of events.

He also said “In a place where there is music, where there is art, where there is dance, where there is meditation and yoga, how can there be violence there? Read more here

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Now that the piece is set to Music, let me not sing the old tune and get into brass tacks right away … with a small Note of warning (LOL! No Warning Bells as yet)

You are Warned
You are Warned

When someone pointed out that it was quite a while since I blogged,  I tweeted about what would my next theme. Me who is always fit as a fiddle decided to be blow my horn with this Operatic effort & include all that jazz. A small inadvertent break for unfortunate reasons  (reasons explained later).

Musical Restroom
Musical Rest Room

And Lo! a blog idea came when I heard a TV Panelist (who is supposed to run some blog in support of a party) who  is capable of making chin music for hours at a time. And when he was recently relegated from Prime Channels to some side-kick ones it was music to my ears. Even there this guy incessant blabber is like an Elevator music and heard that the other panelists are not Bells on when he is on the drone and tries to pass it off as a Symphony.  While we all know clearly who calls the tune in his case 🙂

Music All Over
Music All Over

And when my thoughts were clear as a bell and almost ready to be published come the news of Hyderabad Blasts. I stopped the music and stopped the (word)Press  & decided to fine tune this blog and launch it today after pulling out all stops.  I could not afford to be seen as a person Fiddling while Rome burnt like our Home Minister who keeps changing the tune and together with his bosses have decided to sell our Nation for a song.  Media and these politicos decided to march to their own drum beat with no sense of order giving a damn to us despite they playing a jarring note. The entire opposition also seem to play a second fiddle and did they strike a chord with sentiments of nation at this crucial hour? A big No. A whistle-stop tour to the blast site, some sound-bytes to the media channels and then a curt “Whistle for peace” message to gullible public.

No Music this
No Music this

Did Music-Deaf authorities forget that on matters of national security, they cannot be whistling in the dark or issue cannot be played by the ear. It has to be an orchestra where every Note has to be Scripted in the sheet to create a symphony.

Despite all this the eternal Optimist that I am, I still keep whistling Dixie and still kiss my kids goodnight saying “See you on the big drum

WTF! – I knew something is wrong with this seemingly innocuous abbreviation when WTF (World Tennis Federation) decided to rename itself to ITF.  Considering the grueling schedule that the top 8 ranked Tennis stars are subjected to, ATP  however did not find it necessary to change their season ending championships of Association for Tennis Professionals – WTF! (World Tour Finals)
