Weekly Warbler


Warblers are small songbirds varying from 3.5 inches to 10 inches. They chirp and sing from time to time when happy, sad or for no reason.
Play any song of the bird you like.

Weekly Warbler will chirp once a week on matters
that you and I come across, in a lighter vein……


THE ARTS:

·        *  Art by Disabled children; watch the amazing paintings of Elizah.. don't miss



POLITICS: 

·        *  Now we have Jundal to give Kasab company..  will these two friends will be our lifelong guests as well?

·         * If Purno Sangma spends some more time in Delhi he will forget his Tribal roots..

·          * Pranabda shouldn’t follow his predecessor..freight charges for unaccompanied goods cost lot more to Kolkata than Pune

·         * There will be additional burden on P.M. to handle F.M.’s job too.. some  more silence of the same kind we can expect!




MONSOON:

·         * With June almost over, Monsoon rains are still playing hooky over Indian skies..

SPORTS:

·          * Sania double-faults AITA and slams one of the Aces!

·         * Will Maken make sure there are no drug cheats in the contingent that flies to London?

·        *  Who are the villains of Indian Tennis?  The Players, AITA or  We the Public for putting up with such melodramatic Nautanki for so long?!

·         * Football will never take the place of cricket in India! Fans are too lazy to watch live telecast at midnight even if it is Germany, Brazil or teams from Outer Space..


NETWORKS:

·         * Will the Networks go hammer and tongs at the irresponsible Contractor and bring him to book after the melodramatic coverage?  only then Mahi and many more will get justice…

NAMEGAME:

·          * Abu Jindal or Jundal? Will the media get the name right please? Already Pakis have goofed up big time with Surjeet’s and Sarabjit names with bitter/ sweet consequences and mud on their face..


COMEDY:

·          * A tantrum a day keeps Yeddurappa busy, a scam a day amongst K’ka Govt. staff keep their Lokayuktha busy…

HEALTH:

·         * Naani’s health tips: Chew on a clove to alleviate tooth ache and gum inflammation. It is a surefire Ram baan for excruciating pain.


# Warbler’s Weekly call: With multifaceted multitasking Pranabda   out, it is truly a minority Government now!

Till next week…

Weekly Warbler will chirp once a week on matters
that you and I come across, in a lighter vein……


THE ARTS:

·         Amazing Art of Disabled Artists. Don’t miss this!


POLITICS: 

·         BJP leaders can’t even agree on the snacks for nth  tea-meeting to discuss President‘s election, forget a candidate for presidency!

·         Now Congress is almost out of South. It is in Delhi and somewhere else!

·          Prime Minister Singh should go abroad more.. he announces clear-cut policy decisions there!

·         Pakistan’s S.C. sacked their P.M…. This can’t happen in India…

·         Aung San Suu Kyi fought Military in Burma all alone and brought in democracy.. worthy successor to the original Gandhi


MARKET:

·         Rajat Gupta found guilty in USA sharing inside trade information.. Can’t imagine such things here..

SPORTS:

·         Mahesh Bhupathi and Leander are katti again! Why not sack both and send two junior chaps who at least will play together!

·         SOS to Rahul Dravid from BCCI. ‘Please come back. It will take another decade for our youngsters to fill your shoes!’

·         Prima donnas ruling Indian Tennis! Sack them and send Saina and Gopichand , our Badminton stars. They may not win a medal but will show what dignity is!


NETWORKS:

·         Networks should now wait for smoke coming out of Advani’s house to know which candidate NDA selected..


COMEDY:

·          Which one is getting more laughs in Karnataka? BSY’s daily tantrums or Nityananada’s quarterly ones?

HEALTH:

·         Naani’s tips: Turmeric is a powerhouse of medicinal value; from cooking to building immunity and a sure anti-septic. Use liberally…


Warbler’s Weekly call:

Weekly Warbler will chirp once a week on matters
that you and I come across, in a lighter vein……

POLITICS: 

·         Team Anna and Manmohan Team should settle issues through bouts of Boxing or plain Indian Wrestling.. That would be more dignified…

·         Sadaananda and Nityananda essentially mean the same, but there’s world of difference in their chosen field of profession…

·          Choosing a President resembles a corner kick in football with one amongst many aspirants waiting at the goalpost finally kicked in…

·         Narendra Modi may finally come short of his ambition stumped by one from his own Party…

·         The Brits don’t have much to celebrate..  So they continue to flog Royalty in some pretext or other…


MONSOON:

·         From the time IMD using their multimillion $ Cray computers  eureka-ed, ‘It’s monsoon!’ all the clouds have just disappeared!

METRO:

·         Mr. Narayana Murthy now feels Bangalore cannot take IT anymore. Thanks Sir! Now how do we de-computerize Bangalore? Any Software for that, sir?

·         Get this? Bangalore is growing wildly every hour like a jungle with new Phases, new Layouts thanks to Landsharks….  All there is, is only one Cauvery to quench the thirst of bludgeoning populace….

·          Delhi is acutely running out of water.. Now what will happen if you get stuck in 35 Lakh swanky loo in PC..?

SPORTS:

·         Thanks for Euro 2012, French Open and Thailand Open, how mistaken we were thinking cricket was the only Sports on the Planet!

·         BCCI and Sports Ministry continue their fight by ignoring cricketers who won World cup after 28 years for Arjuna Award! Which will be next new low?

·         After counting all their money from IPL, Indian colts are facing ’chin music’ thanks to W.I. fast bowlers! You can’t hide behind Money and subcontinent pitches for long..

NETWORKS:

·         Without any real news breaking out, they have to make do with Ramdev meeting leaders one by one as ‘breaking news’!
·          There is more mara-mari on 9.P.M. News channels than any pubs and that too without any drinks on the house!


ARTS:

·          ‘How to paint flowers in Oil / still life of oil painting’ courtesy: Artistsnetwork

HEALTH:

·         Naani’s tips: Ginger, Adrak fights body pains, knee and joint pains.. add a dash of it in your food and drink to stay free of pain..


Warbler’s Weekly call: Abe Lincoln said this years ago: ‘Most people are just as happy as they choose to be’.  Well said, Sir! It’s all within us.

Till next week…

Weekly Warbler will chirp once a week on matters
that you and I come across, in a lighter vein……

POLITICS: 

·         Colgate will be needed to wash ‘India’s Coalgate’; simple mouthwash will only serve as eyewash…

·         ‘Rain in Spain will not stay in Plain’ as Spain fights to come out of economic mess.

·          Greece will really become History if it doesn’t manage its economy better…


·         Files destroyed due to Fire in Finance Ministry. Now which Partner has to be saved?

·         ‘Divided House’ aptly sums up BJP..Writing is on the wall if this continues…

SPORTS:

·         Hope Sachin takes guards and takes a look at other Sports and helps bring in some parity. Should Sachin support Maken re bringing BCCI under ‘RTI’?

·         Strict policing must to ensure no drug-dependent athlete boards the plane to London.. Sachin could be a big help for Maken.

·          Tragedy.. Even as Chris Gayle at last decided to walk in to play for W.I., Kevin Pietersen only  32 and at peak of his career , bids good bye to shorter version of cricket


ECONOMY:

·         It’s clear they have no idea  how to  stop Rupee’s free fall
·          Bigger mess? ‘India of 1991 or 2012? Choose your pick.  But we don’t have PVNR to pull us out of this one.


ARTS:

·         Alex Ferreira photographs faces of the world in Mint… http://www.mintmagazine.co.uk/art/allex-ferreirafrom-brazil-all-over/..

IPL:

·         Heard Sidhu and Shastri   start off their one-liners and running commentary even when they are alone..  Clearly withdrawal symptoms!

·         Half of India’s population, 600 million don’t have electricity even as  IPL splurged on power daily for 50 days in peak summer…. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/21/world/asia/21india.html?_r=1
 
HEALTH:

·         Instead of weeding out black sheep amidst the ‘noble profession’ doctors are threatening to Boycott Aamir Khan’s Films! http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Delhi/article3486478.ece

·         Naani’s tips: Eat an Ajiwain leaf for heaviness and indigestion…


Warbler’s Weekly call:

 Wah wah Planning commission… You estimate the poverty line cut- off at 32Rs /day and blow up Rs. 35 lakhs to renovate two of your toilets with smart cards! Rich Poops, oops!  http://www.deccanherald.com/content/254708/planning-commission-renovates-2-toilets.html
 
Till next week…
