Uncle Sam is Coming Home...!!!!

India is gearing up hard for the most celebrated US presidential visit of the era. If Jimmy could create a new "Carterpuri", then Barack can create "Obamabad" provided if he has that uncanny ability to win hearts here...
Why I used the word Uncanny is to underline the fact that We Indians don't get overwhelmed easily as compared to our American counterparts, who were deceived by the Democrat manifesto.
India has never seen such elaborate sanitising, cordon off been done in the past, even after 26/11 there was not much security cover. The UPA is tying all means to impress Obama and show how Incredible we are...
Pr(O)bama effect is on high...!!!!
Love corruption... Because ???

A few days back, me and one of my friend were booked for an expired emission certificate(which we didn't notice) at a most happening corner street in Bangalore. The police constable who stopped us was not an 'environmentalist' but rather an incessant pocket filler...
He initially quoted a few rules which we didn't pay attention (rather we were busy counting money in our pockets) and finally charged us 300bucks. We were shocked, because the bike which he supposedly rode would not even pass a Fitness Certificate(FC) test... After begging and complaining on the current state of affairs(of course in Karnataka), he let us go with 50bucks fine to his pocket(a good bargain)...
I was profoundly happy with the way we bargained 250bucks less, but my friend was disgusted with the corruption we entertained. After a deep thought, I was actually happy to have been living in this country.
Now we can contemplate on the policemen and their corrupted pockets, but honestly if they weren't corrupted lot, we would have had high time paying fines and visiting courtroom.
Thanku Delhi...

In one of my previous post "Save India", I had expressed concerns over the games and India's future as a sporting giant. In fact, I even disagreed with the article posted by Mr. Chetan Bhagat on boycotting the games.
Well with all those hungama, I feel immensely great and contented with the way we pulled things off. The overwhelming medals tally has certainly made people think of sports & athletics as a full time profession. Cricketers were forgotten for a while.
With all said and done, I think everyone must thank the Delhites for their support and patience as they were put through all kinds of hardships from the netas and babus...
