Lalu goes International!

In his own inimitable style, Lalu Prasad Yadav, the guy who was one snyonymous with fraud has impressed the Ivy Leage college grads from Harvard and Wharton. Obviously, the Railways success story under the leadership of Lalu and the court judging him not guilty of the fodder scam has put Lalu in high spirits. Here's an interesting article about the hour-long session he had with Harvard/Wharton MBA grads, explaining to them the success mantra.

"I did not increase the fares. I did not retrench employees. Instead I gave them a bonus. I took the traders into confidence. I also took the employees into confidence.
We will set up 75,000 krishi (farmers) outlets on railway stations. It is sad we sell shoes in air-conditioned showrooms and food grains on the footpath.
This is just the beginning. Asli cinema to baaki hai (the real movie is yet to come)"


Indeed Mr. Laluji, asli cinema toh abhi bhaki hai. Anyone for Mr. Laluji as the next PM?

    Hi

    New Year Wishes to all over there.

    Even though I am not there physically, I still smell the scent of my place,

    Even though I don't miss myself from there, I still love that place

    Even though I couldn't bade you guys a good farewell, I still am around you guys

    Even though I don't know if I will meet you guys, I still meet you over peakday blues

    .....reading and updating, smiling, laughing, running down memory lanes, and posting comments, sometimes with appreciation, sometimes with contempt, sometimes with love, sometimes my condolences, sometimes with grace, and most of the times in the name "anon", but none meant to hurt personally anybody, but only to express a different view point.

    Even though I wanted to reveal myself, I don't want to do so. just only to make a good show, let me continue meeting you a "critique" from now on.

    Cheers!

    Happy New Year



    (PS) Thanks RC!! for publishing my comments all these days. Hope will continue so...

Ariyaatha pillakku choriyumbol ariyum!

As a kid/teenager, my only source of information to learn malayalam was Manorama Publications' Balaram, a children's fortnightly and my granny. I still vividly remember how she used to teach me the basics of malayalam whenever I come to Kerala on vacations. My granny was also a great source of amazement for me as she used malaylam proverbs or the so called "pazham chollu" every now and then. These proverbs, though small in length and use, had deep insights! Though I can read/write Malayalam today, thx to Balarama and my granny, I used to miss her proverbs a lot. But not anymore!! Thanks to this Wikipedia link , forwarded to me by Vinay
