IPL - Indian Political League

Yes, I know it should have been Indian Premier League. But it is inconsequential to the drama taking place in India. The great Indian Election Drama. Again..i make a list, to all my detractors, lists are easier to read, fun to write and simple. No frills, no fuss.
Since I am spending a lot of time attending meetings these days, in business jargon, the take away from this election is.

1: First and foremost : All is fair in love, war and democratic elections.

2: Tit for Tat : You call Bofors, I call Babri Masjid ( even though people have ceased to care about both or do not remember either). The Youth think bofors is a buffalo reform movement.

3: Age is just a number: 80 is a boootiful age: Advani, Arjun singh, Manmohan Singh, Karunanidhi...etc etc. if you listen closley, you can hear them cough and singh...abhi toh main jawaan hoon....

4: New takeaway : English is NOT good for development, nor are computers, so we use maatru basha . Ex of future usage - Apun hindi mein bolta, tupun hindi mein bolna, apun sab milke yeh disscushun karenge ki phoren investment kyon nahin aata idhar ko?

5: Lessons on nationality: Sonia Gandhi was always an Indian. I think they registered her birth place Italy instead of Rae Bareli by mistake. Oh! goody! now things are more clearer.

6: Lessons on discipline and tolerance: Manmohan Singh is a good prime minister. I do agree..he always listens to Sonia Gandhi.

7 : National security: Pranab Mukherjee is a great writer of letters. Yes he is..that should explain the love letters he wrote to Pakistan after the 26/11 attacks in Mumbai.

8 : Financial investment : Advani says they're getting India's money back from accounts in Swiss banks. Right! Expect the savings accounts of all the middle class to be taxed further.

Have any more take aways? :)
