The Daily Observer: 24th June 2020

😎THE DAILY OBSERVER-21😎

24 June 2020 / 03:56

This publication has had a dream run so far,it completes three weeks today.When the dream is pleasant,who wants to wake up ? Let it carry on,is the feeling.What wonders the record of a pleasant memory can do. Sanjay Soi posted a photograph of his visit to Hyderabad some time ago. Murali remarked that Sanjay Soi was a jolly good fellow and so was Vidur Nevrekar. Before he knew it, Sanjay Mishra found himself replying that he agreed , albeit reluctantly , because his exact words were - " no one will disagree to that ". And so history was made.There were smiles all around and as per Murali's wish, the occasion is being recorded for posterity in these columns. Jagdish Sawant, thought the moment was right to kick off a lively debate on nepotism in Indian politics with a pointed question.Joe Dhillon whacked this bouncer for a six with his reply that the reply lay in the question itself - Sawant had started the question with the statement - nepotism has existed in our country since the beginning of society. A further question on the same was put to rest by Joe with the rustic wisdom - Jiski lathi uski bhains. That's Joe for you - one moment deep philosophy and the next moment rustic age-old wisdom. 

Questions which are razing all around cannot be kept out of this forum and no gag order can work.This country prided itself on freedom and all are free to express their views and feelings. The other major issue of the present - the question of some veterans having political leanings and ambitions was also debated upon in detail by Murali, Umar,Sanjay Mishra, Vidur, AKR Chaudhri, Shiv, Naithani and Chandan Das in the evening. It was initiated by Murali's long post on "Selling of National Interests " and that debate seems to be continuing as i write. Maybe an extra edition of TDO will be required to cover everything. PK Sharma threw in a couple of jokes to lighten the atmosphere. The one on how ice-cream is ordered in Haryanvi accent is hilarious. Alfred posted a video on the subject of appearance of veterans on TV and asked the question - what do you think of this, but those immersed in the debate paid little or no heed. They were not distracted. 

Satish Pande slid in a  joke. Pratap Ghosh reminded all of Shakuntala Devi, Vish tried another joke, but the main show kept gathering momentum without a break. Navnit gave his viewpoint whenever he got the opportunity. Umar and Luthra did their bit, supporting people they had served under. Vish added his two bits. Saxy piped in now and then and once Andrews heaved a premature sigh of relief mistakenly thinking it was all over. Alfred kept trying and so did Satish Pande. Hitech Murali tried to distract with a short video-film. But,as we have all come to learn, once Murali is in that mood, there is no stopping him. He is up in arms against a large section of respected and other veterans. Arnab Goswami and Gaurav Arya could pick some tips from him. 

Before I forget, a video posted in the afternoon by Alfred, showing a guy imitating some famous Indian cricketers and their on-field mannerisms is really hilarious. Vidur's puzzle regarding the missing tattoo remained unanswered. Murali would do well to go through both. Watch and relax.The next c edition follows soon. 

Have a cool Wednesday. Offering form SSP...Cool song with cool dude...
