Barack Obama Versus Manmohan Singh

Monday, August 13, 2012

It looks like US President Barack Obama’s supporters have been waging a secret war against Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. You might remember that the Time Magazine had put Manmohan Singh’s picture on the cover of its Asian edition and had termed him an “underachiever.” At that time the Outlook had come out in support of our beloved prime minister and had retaliated by featuring Barack Obama, the real underachiever, on its cover.


Now the Onion has come up with a picture which shows Obama cooking breakfast in one of Michelle's extra-long T-shirts. Obviously, they want to show how hardworking their president is. Not only can he run a nation and wage war on several fronts, but fix breakfast for his family too. This is too much. I suspect it is a planted story to make Obama look cool and sexy all over the world.

Bhagwan Sri Sathya Sai Baba

I was about to compose a clarification regarding my role in the Niira Radia controversy—Vir Sanghvi and Barkha Dutt having already done that—when I saw pictures of the God Incarnate, Bhagwan Sri Sathya Sai Baba’s, birthday celebrations. They reminded me of an easy way out–to ask Him for help. No sooner did I remember Him than He made the Niira Radia-Giribala Joshi tapes disappear.
