Weekly Warbler





Warbler is one of the small songbirds, belonging to the Sylviidae family found in gardens, marshes and Woodlands. They are really small 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 all matters
that you and I come across, in a lighter vein……


POLITICS: 

·        *  There’s more ‘tu tu mein mein’ during BJP National Executive Meet in Mumbai than in any serial on TV…

·        *  It’s Burma who should give $500mln loan or more to India to make up for the indecent Petrol price raise and not the other way around!


·        *  Both ruling and opposition parties in U.P. should be sent to U.K. Olympics for wrestling with one way tickets, if possible.

·        *   Team Anna should go to courts with evidence.. and not blabber uncouth against P.M. all the time…

SPORTS:

·         * Vishwanathan Anand World Chess Champion for 5th time. How about a Rajya Sabha Nomination for Anand, Mr. Prime Minister? And before that, a Bharath Rathna for the Greatest Sportsman of India ever?

·         * A kiss and a kick for BCCI! Kiss for distributing largesse to past cricketers and a kick for singling out and being vindictive at all-time best all-rounder of the game - Kapil Dev.

·         Hockey’s sad state of affairs: we have Hockey India and Indian Hockey Federation
dribbling at cross-purposes, both housed in same building! Can’t Sports Minister Maken set this mess right?

·         * Digest this! : Youth constitute more than 30% of India’s population (15-24 Age groups); Most Sports Federations are headed by persons more than 75+ old!

MARKETS:

·        *  After petrol price, every item is hot, dear and burning!

·        *   Rupee is having  a free fall and we know where Hell is…

 MEMORIES:

·        * A touching Mother –Son  Book Club journey towards her death:       http://www.deccanherald.com/content/252262/reading-together-having-pleasant-journey.html

·        *  The poignant story behind Albrecht Dyrer’s immortal painting ‘Praying Hands’: http://www.moytura.com/reflections/prayinghands.htm.... 

IPL

·        *  Bollywood- style ending: After spot-fixing evidence, filing criminal charges for alleged molesting, fist fighting, midnight brawls in stadium, threats on phone, dirty tweets etc. All is forgiven. Time for Group photo; Say cheese. Q.E.D.

·       *   Didi squanders Rs.50 lakh on IPL tamasha, even as she threatens P.M. to bail her Government out from economic mess!

HEALTH:

·         * Naani’s Tips: Chew 2 periwinkle plant leaves first thing in morn. It is so bitter even your doctor’s diabetes will run away!

Warbler’s Weekly call:

At Rs. 2 Lakhs / day and Rs. 35 crores so far, Kasab is our Royal Guest.. http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2010-05-05/india/28322197_1_arthur-road-jail-ajmal-kasab-jail-premises   No comments!
