NeMari TJ: New Virus Discovered

A new virus (NeMari TJ), claimed to be responsible for sudden and unprecedented illness of Indian politicians has been discovered recently.

A team of scientists, medical professionals, psychologists, social scientists, HR experts, legal experts, anthropologists, biologists, Facebookers, and housekeeping experts working non-stop for the last 3650 days has made this discovery.

Though no explanation has so far been given about keeping such a name for the virus, it is believed that NeMari  stands for Neta ki biMari (Illness of the Politician). TJ stands for Tihar & other Jails, though some may think that it stands for Tihar Jail. ( PS: The reason that Tihar Jail was chosen for the name was because most housekeeping experts came from Tihar Jail, where the effect of NeMari TJ is likely to be pronounced).

The IPL Team of 2009 : The ZooZooZ

One of the major cricketing highlights of this year was the Indian Premier League going international. Some of us were left wondering what and where was the “Indian element” in the IPL. I have a hunch that may be in times to come IPL will come to mean International Premier League. ( How about Injured Players League? Or Ignored Premier League? Or Idiots’ Premier League ?). Meanwhile IPL has decided to increase the number of teams from next year ( or may be next to next year), and I have decided to encash this opportunity. I have formed a team selecting the best of best Indian talent available. For this selection performances of players in 2009 only have been taken into account. I introduce my team as below:

1) Raj Thackeray: As an opening Batsman, there couldn’t be any better Indian, oh sorry, “Marathi Manoos” than this flamboyant and aggressive player. He redefined the meaning of Marathi Manoos, Mumbaikars and made sure that those daring to use “Bombay” in their movies are taught a lesson. He fears no politician, no media, no courts and obviously no bowler !! Really the year belonged to him and we ( including me) look forward to see and hear from him next year.
