Twittering "Indian" Minister

Cattle class! Next time I will definitely feel when I travel in economy; atleast I will feel that I am from COW loving country!

By the way what did he speak?

Did he say economy class as cattle class? Did he say politicians are holy cows?
He was more polite; he replied to one of the questions as “absolutely, in cattle class out of solidarity with all our holy cows”.

Is our political party and its leaders are humorless, that something we do not have to prove.

How may people visit Twitter? May be 10 to 20% of Indian public?

He is not sitting in UN Building, New York. He is in India; a billion people, who believe in certain culture, depend on “desi” economy. He is MOS for foreign affairs. He cannot speak or write like that.

Traditional words I would like to repeat here; “It is not his mistake”.

ReadyMade Onam

Yesterday was auspicious day for any Keralite. People celebrate Onam with gaiety and fervor.

Morning we woke up and my wife had already bought few ready made packets of flowers for pookalam; onam celebrations are marked by intricate flower carpets called Pookalam.

Special poojas and prayers conducted. All members of family were waiting for highpoint; the Onasadya.

I asked my wife; hows the preparation going on; she replied with beautiful smile “everything will be ready in few minutes”. My mom was busy chanting prayers. I looked at my mom; where is her one leg gone; actually she is standing on leg and praying for all our familys deergayasu (long life). Actually I was not sure whether Lord Shiva was really impressed!

On time; enormous lunch called Onasadya was ready but some of the items were made with ready-mades.

One of my friends called me and said “hey…there is a new restaurant has come up in south Mumbai. Are you joining for a dinner with us for Onam Celebrations”; I said “I will try to make it”

A readymade Onam this time! I believe going forward all malayalees (Keralites) will depend on readymade foods.

It was a great Onasadya but Maveli Landed with mask and sanitizer due to Swine Flu scare!

Happy onam!
