The most wanted model today in Bengal is ‘Didi’. The Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee was furious with the manufacturers of the ‘Ajanta Hawai Chappals’ for publishing an advertisement using her photograph. She was seen in this picture wearing Hawai chappals. But undoubtedly Mamata is the most wanted model in Bengal today by leading manufacturers of cotton saris. The cotton jhola that Mamata carries on her shoulder is now fast becoming a fashion statement in Bengal. The small timer traders think that they can make a fortune now by marketing these cotton bags as Didi’s first choice. The hawai chappals, cotton saris and the jhola which is the Railway Minister’s cultivated image for her common people’s leader never realized that her style would be used by businessmen to promote their products. But with Mamata now having lost her cool with the ‘Aajanta Shoe Company’. The other jhola and sari guys are thinking twice.
Can you guess who is the most wanted and popular among Opposition and non-UPA leaders, its V.Narayanaswamy? He is affectionately called ‘Samy’. Any disruption in the Lok Sabha, the three Yadavs – Lalu, Mulayam and Sharad – summons ‘Samy’ to their seats and convey their sentiments to the treasury benches. Samy loves the attention but he does also declines. Even leader of the Opposition Sushma Swaraj has been heard calling him during disruptions to drive home a point or two. Narayanaswamy is an easy person so gets along with everyone. He talks less but is a good listener and helpful. Even in the A.I.C.C headquarters he is popular person because of his easy access and good humour is also hospitable. As he remarked to someone who wanted ‘Badam Milk’. He answered “I can serve you tea but this milk is too expensive for me”.
Delhi is full of surprises. We now have a special commando force in the city. This Commando force has been set up to lend a sympathetic ear to lovers. The members of the force are over 2000 professionals ranging from Lawyers, Teachers, Human Rights Activists and Media Persons. This is a step taken by civilians to try and curb the rising number of dictators from Khap Panchayats. We have had a number of honour killings in the capital which has created a threat to youngsters in relationships. There is a 24 hour helpline to help the harassed couples who are threatened by their family or community. The love commando will contact a lawyer providing legal help and also organize counseling sessions for the couple to face up to the upcoming challenges.
Well after getting a lawyer and a counselor and saving the young the extra helping is that they will also provide a pandit who will perform marriage. But the witness has to be friends and at least one relative. The Police has been confirmed to help them as long as it is done within the strict confines of the law.
=====================================================
The Capital cannot yet come to terms with the sense that Amar Singh is too often missing in action. He has been missing in all political and social circles but his presence at the “Raavan” premier raised many eyebrows. There was a time when the Bachchan parivaar and Anil Amabni did not move a step without Amar Singh. The Amar, Akbar, Anthony version of Anil, Amitabh and Amar attracted too much ‘nazar’ say some. Anil is back with brother Mukesh; Amitabh is now Shahrukh Khan’s pal and very warm towards Samajwadi leader Akhilesh Yadav and his wife Dimple. They are often seen having cozy dinners while Amar Singh is left singing praises of Mayawati. Political pundits insist that Amar has lost physical, political weight and social clout. Amitabh had asked Jaya Bachchan not to take up the offer for the Rajya Sabha berth from the Samajwadi Party. It was keeping in mind that Amar Singh would be upset and lash out. Public may say that the Bachchans’ have lived up to their reputation of not being good friends.
In London last week Amitabh Bachchan and Amar Singh were staying at the same Hotel. But conveniently minutes before Amar Singh’s arrival Amitabh made a hasty departure as someone informed him that Amar was walking in. This is surely an indication that the inseparable friends had drifted.
