The Small Voice

The legendary investor Warren Buffet, it appears, has finally found his successor. The ageing investor, also known as the “Oracle of Omaha”, has decided that it was best that an Indian should take on the mantle. “Due to the recent media reports and somewhat irresponsible individuals, the performance of our next Chairman is now out in the open. So, before any of you start making speculations, we want to formally announce and come clean on the name” he said. All you Ajit Jain / Tony Nicely lobbyists, you can eat crow. It’s our own Jijaji-next-door Robert Kedavra !! Mr. Kedavra shot to fame when from being a humble brass goods trader from a sleepy North Indian town, he succeeded in wooing the hand of the princess of the Grand-Ole-Party. Like a princess kissing the toad, Kedavra's fortunes skyrocketed since then, and now not only has bagfuls of crores of rupees, he also is amongst the highest of the high VVIPs of the country. All this, without holding a single govt. or ...

The media has started going crazy again. As Mrs Pratibha Patil’s tenure as a President draws to an end, various names have started to do the rounds. One amongst them is that of APJ Kalam, our former President.Why re-elect Kalam?  The august office has had a long history and has been blessed by many other worthies, including the current Mrs Pratibha Patil. Just spare a second to look back and admire her "illustrious" tenure. Every child knows the numerous achievements that are studded in a remarkable tenure. Extremely popular, she was, and still has a nation-wide fan following in pan Jalgaon-Amravati region. Given the platform, she has become greatly popular even on foreign soil, and as the Head of the state she has made several fruitful foreign trips to drive or rather FLY home the point. She has led the nation with examples of selfless sacrifice of personal benefits for the greater good. Who can match this impeccable track record? Su...

Imagine you are running for a super important meeting with a uber-VIP by which I mean a padosi desh ka PM or boss' in-laws or a rich NRI client or Sunny Leone. You get the idea right? Basically you just can't be late, and you dare not bunk. The rendezvous is this place called Far,Far,Away tucked in the heart of Lower Parel or some other Mumbai suburb blessed with narrow lanes called roads. You are on time, all prepared, enveloped in cool Davidoff mist, tie in pocket, the Mont Blanc safely tucked inside your Armani suit and every sign of a thin Mumbai traffic. Ok stop laughing now. Somedays we may actually be having thin traffic. They have promised Mumbai will become Shanghai one day. So, coming back to the topic, you smugly strut out of the train stattion, head held high, "What can go wrong?" you wonder. And the fates smirk. You casually ask the cabby, and get the following repartee: Taxi Cab 1: " Uss side nahi jana hai.." (Dont wanna ...

Watched “The Karate Kid” with the wifey yesterday.  And She liked it!!!  Whats the big deal you ask me? Well here goes. Finally, I got her to like one martial arts(action) movie. Any average male reader (esp. BFs, husbands etc.) would immediately understand this is no mean achievement by any standards.  If she liked one, who knows she may like another too.  At least it gives one hope and reasonable grounds to try out several of the other action flicks. Immediately classics like the Tomb Raider , Transformers etc. spring to mind.  31st Dec... Long weekend.... He He He PS:  BTW, the reader should not mistake that and I have a violent personality just because I enjoy doing daredevil stunts and have a penchant for action movies .  Oh No No No. In fact, I am as peace loving dude as can be.  I wanted to tell wifey that I had abandoned my pursuit of Taek-wondo Black Belt (3rd Degree) midway after successfully achieving WHITE belt jus...

by our staff reporter Drunk-on-job patrakar It is now unofficially confirmed that the state government of KP (Kaccha Pradesh) headed by Phoolsakhi ji has invited global tenders for manufacturing and deployment of statues to meet the urgent shortfall in the required no of statues in Bucknow. Unspeakable sources reveal that the Chinese company “Trojan Horse” is widely tipped to win the multibillion rupees contract which will require the winner to build, intall and operate 1,345 statues of Phoolsakhi ji and Banshi Kam in the various provinces of Myanmar and Burkina Faso. However, widespread anger and protests continues in the state as the citizens and the opposition alleges that government is ignoring the fact that the state is itself reeling under an acute shortage of statues and parks of the above-mentioned leaders. They further allege that due to the shortage the young generation, including Julian Assange are unaware of the glorious revolution. Teachers and parents were protesting on ...
