Mamata vs. Sachin

What a pity! Mamata Bannerjee had almost walked into the 'Goddess of Bengal' chapter of Indian history when a Marathi Manoos deftly played spoilsport. For every new train or school or hospital the minister gifted Bengal, Sachin hammered a sharp and bloody nail into the South African coffin. And Bengalis have always known what to choose and when. Arey dada, budget to kal paper'eo pore nite parbo, kintu ei oshadharon performance ta ki ar live dekhte pabo??? So true. Thus in the war of titans, a Tendulkar won over a Bannerjee yesterday. And now to the Budget. It's a good one. We aint complaining. Personally I wish the elections in Bengal were another two-three years away. Because then, we would've had the best performances of both the parties. As they compete against each other to win the masses, the people of Bengal continue to have an unprecedented gala time. It's raining lakhs, minority reservations, new jobs, regularisation of part-time jobs, railway coach factories, new tracks, newer, faster trains, model stations, model hospitals, and everyhting that we didn't have till now. So many 'model' endeavours, except the real one. The Kolkata Fashion Week got postponed, thanks to the last-minute walk-out of the title sponsor. The Rehmans didn't like Shah Rukh "cozy"ing up to the Todis, and to prove that although he's a Khan, he isn't heartless, he snapped the deal. Now the KKR team will have to hunt for new vests and underwears... It's another matter that in the last two editions of the IPL, the team was left underwear-less by almost all teams playing in the tournament. But Shah Rukh still managed to walk away with the maximum booty. And why not? His name is Khan, and he isn't a fool... Have a Nice Day, All of You
