"Rahul learns to steal the limelight"
It is now apparent that Rahul Gandhi has finally learnt that the media is not as bad as he thought it was. Things seem to have changed after Greater Noida. In the past whenever Rahul saw a TV crew, he got nervous and his body language was quite unfriendly. The young Gandhi seems to have realized the power of the media. The same night when the Rapid Action Force took over the village, it surprised the waiting Rahul and the media. Then Rahul's body language was the biggest surprise for all. He was friendly to the cameras, lingering long enough for them to get a good footage of the arrest and even stopped with his entourage to give them interesting sound bytes.
Later, too, when he called on the Prime Minister with farmers, he himself walked up to the mikes and fielded questions. Looks like the reticent Rahul has learnt to steal the limelight after realising that other politicians make more noise and work less. In fact, it is Maya Behenji who has not given any media bytes after this incident.

"Tweeting all the rage"
Tweeting seems to be a big thing amongst the politicians. It can do a lot of good, but on the other hand it can damage in a way which can leave you scarred for a long time.
Shashi Tharoor was one example of tweeting which went wrong for an intelligent man. The older lot of politicians, the seasoned ones, do not believe in tweeting or in other words we could say that they are not so savvy with the high-tech Blackberrys and I-Pads. It is a great way of communication for socializing.
Sushma Swaraj's tweeting on the 'Kashmir Chalo' on 15th August raised some controversies. Omar Abdullah's tweeting at times has raised many eyebrows. But Omar's tweet on the Rahul Gandhi's pillion-ride to Noida had many burst into laughter.
The comments were "Anyone taking bets on how quickly Mayawati come out with her handbag swinging," he said in a tweet. He also had time to "welcome back" a television anchor who he "missed".
"Hey welcome back. I'd say you were missed, but someone will tell me I'm flirting so will just say - you were missed," the Chief Minister tweeted.
"If I were Rahul I'd commission a statue of Mayawati and garland it every year on the 11th of May for this huge political favour she's done."
These tweets were so funny.
It is good to have politicians those who can tweet in a humorous yet sensible way. In fact, it's good to see this side of politicians too.

"Vijender walks down the aisle"
Our Haryanvi boxer met his match, wooed her and married her quickly. Olympic bronze medalist boxer Vijender Singh wed Delhi girl Archana Singh in a small and private ceremony on Tuesday afternoon.
Even though the media was more or less kept away from the actual ceremony, the shutterbugs and reporters surrounded the gates of the Safdarjung Flying Club for a glimpse of simpleton Vijender's family, friends and a few high-profile guests who came to congratulate the couple.
As the wedding ceremony ended, Vijender Singh and his newlywed wife Archana came outside and posed for the cameras. Vijender looked handsome and cool in an off-white sherwani designed by Manav Gangwani who was also a guest at the wedding. The decorations were grand and beautiful.
The bride's father has been an old associate of Congress leader Satish Sharma. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi also attended the wedding.
