Vir Sanghvi : Counterpoint (Page 13)

He writes about the most recent imbroglio BJP finds itself in. Amit Shah’s resignation which seems to be another telling blow to the beleaguered opposition party, has left the party big-wigs with eggs on their faces.With the prominent faces of the party like Narendra Modi being denigrated time and again, Vir says that BJP can kiss their hopes for garnering the middle class voters good bye.

Titled- BJP goes for it’s own jugular.

Manas Chakravarthy- Loose Canon (Page 13)-

Manas, in his own style, describes the recent flower pot fling-athon at the Bihar Legislative Assembly. He calls the flower pot flinger ‘the super MLA’ and he also says that she seems to be the best bet for the hammer throw at Common wealth games this year. He is of the belief that these acts of causing ruckuses are nothing but gimmicks to garner votes. Manas as usual, will leave you in splits with his make believe scenarios and his funny one liners.

Titled- A real class act

Vaibhav Purandare – Mumbai Matters (Page 12)

Vaibhav writes about, infrastructure of the city still being in shambles post 26/7 and the projects promulgated for the resurrection being entangled in red tape. He rekindles the memories of that day with some accounts and remembers the outpouring of generosity of the city during the difficult time. But according to him, the spirit of unity in the city is dying with the passage of time and needs a catastrophe of the magnitude of 26/7 to bring it back. The questions he asks are imposing. Riveting read.

Ashish Shakya – The Blunder years (Page 12)

Ashish describes his comical experiences on his vacation to ‘the Down Under’. With the media sensation of Australians racially abusing Indians, he says he was expecting to be stabbed as soon as he entered the country. He wonders with amazement where were the violent racists that he was promised back home or were they hiding because TV anchor man Arnab Goswami would break out of their TV sets and eat their children. Another rib tickler.
