Political Rants

Barack Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize 2009!

WTH! What has he done so far to receive this prize? It seems just like the media was under his spell during the primaries and subsequent elections, the international populace is taken over by his "magic". Of course my views may differ from many but I do not think he has accomplished anything yet since taking office. There are so many larger issues at hand but none have been resolved.

MNS stops screening of Wake Up Sid!

WTF! Who is Raj Thackarey to curb freedom of expression right given to the Indian Citizen. It is just a word - it doesn't matter if we call it Bombay or Mumbai, those who love the city will keep loving it no matter what. I think Raj Thackarey has not heard the phrase "A Rose by any other name smells the same and is still as beautiful". And I am hugely disappointed with Karan Johar for apologizing for such a non-issue thereby encouraging such regionalistic intentions. But I guess, KJo chose his battle and the movie becoming a hit was more important choice.
And if Thackarey wants to restrict outside people from entering Maharashtra, just build your separate country, set up visa rules and show how you can survive as a self-sufficient entity without using the "India" clout. You are not worth to be called an Indian and you put us all Maharashtrians to shame.
