Got it wrong again!
Hey! It’s simple to get your wishes, how ridiculous they are, granted for the Congress government has become quite generous.
All you have to do is to declare your wish and threaten to begin fast unto death if it is not fulfilled immediately by the government. Please make sure you have sufficient followers or hooligans with some experience in creating violence in prime pockets of the city. Also choose a public healthcare centre at the heart of the city and get yourself admitted there. Let the technology keep you alive even though you don't consume food. Don't forget to release a few clippings of your hospital life to the media.
The central government will deliberate with the state government and will come to you with the news that they will initiate the process to fulfill your wish. The whole process might take about 10-15 days in all, which is a bit tiring but not impossible.
Sounds simple, isn’t? Thanks to TRS’ big enchilada K. Chandrashekar Rao aka KCR for showing us the simplest way to securing what we want. I consider him far greater than the first man who landed on the moon or the person who invented the wheel.
We should also be grateful to the Sonia government err the Congress government for its benevolence. Nobody expected the government to succumb to KCR’s blackjacking in a jiffy. It was a hasty and infantile decision which caused furor across Andhra Pradesh.
It’s a big disgrace to the great Potti Sriramulu and others who laid down their lives for a separate Andhra Pradesh during 1950s.
Simple calculations point to the opinion of the common public in Telangana. Just look at the number of votes TRS managed to register since 2001 in various state and district level elections in this region. The number has been coming down drastically, and in the recent assembly elections, the party was almost routed. Chaos prevailed after the elections and KCR stepped down as the president. Of course! he came back to power in a dramatic fashion.
Everyone in the state knew KCR was enacting the drama only to gain his lost glory. But how could the Congress ignore this? Or is there any other strong hidden reason which has motivated the party to take such a poor decision on Telangana?
However, the whole episode boomeranged on KCR and Congress in particular. With MLAs and MPs belonging to Andhra and Rayalaseema areas, irrespective of their political league, taking a U-turn, the whole issue is now back to square one.
The Congress has indeed opened the Pandora's box, allowing other dormant statehood movements across the country slowly regain momentum.

R.A.P.E.
Before you jump to form your own conclusions, let me inform you that R.A.P.E here is not exactly what a dictionary reveals, but quite near to it.
R.A.P.E stands for Ruling Against Public Expectations. And that's what has happened in Andhra Pradesh and India, at least over the last five years.
Without going into details of the unfinished projects, money siphoned to centre, high-level corruption, Satyam scandal, faulty government schemes and bomb blasts, I urge all the people in the state to vote for Lok Satta, led by former IAS officer Jaya Prakash Narayan and avoid getting R.A.P.E(d).
My sincere appeal to all educated young people across Andhra Pradesh:
Don't skip voting to enjoy the holiday on the election day, please cast your vote to enjoy for the next five years.

Andhra Politics - I'm loving it!
American Elections is a thing of past. Forget Obama, Balayya is here.
The political situation in Andhra (please don't object to my use of Andhra for Andhra Pradesh) is as spicy as its famous pickle Avakai. Matinee idol Nandamuri Balakrishna aka Balayya has made his political arangetrum in a grand filmy style at the just concluded Yuvagarjana (meaning the roar of youth).
Unlike his father, the great Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao, Balakrishna is not a great orator. Though he carries the grace of his father, he hasn't been able to utilize it to the max. It's not fair to compare him with NTR, but of late, Balakrishna has downgraded himself by doing a lot of crap movies. Nonetheless, he has a huge fan following in villages and towns.
The sudden entry of Nandamuri clan in support of Telugu Desam Party is an attempt to lift the sagging spirits of the party workers after Chiranjeevi started Praja Rajyam party. As expected, none of the Nandmuri tribe members accepts this and retorts that they are here to serve the party started by NTR and make his dreams come true. Acha! These are the same people who ditched NTR a decade ago.
It all started with Chandra Babu Naidu's (CBN) son and Balayya's daughter marriage in 2007. Since then, it's all been Nandamuri's show. With his close associate Devendar Goud too joining the Telangana bandwagon and Chiranjeevi factor looming large, CBN had no option but to fight glamor with glamor. Hence, he tried to be a mediator to mitigate differences among the Nandamuri family members, especially between NTR Jnr. and others. Currently, NTR Jnr. has more following than any other Nandamuri heros, after his grandfather. However, a rift over allocation of party ticket to his close associate has made NTR Jnr. skip the maha Yuvagarjana.
Coming back to today's public meeting in Guntur, more than 10 lakh people attended it making it the biggest public meeting ever in India (as claimed by TDP). Everyone was uncertain over Balayya's ability as a public speaker due to his notorious past. But today, Balayya was close to his best. I forgot to mention that Balayya has got great voice and is famous for rendering heavy and lengthy dialogs in films.
He was successful in delivering what was expected of him by CBN and his fans. Ably supported by Harikrishna, who would walk past him to give the leads of the next topic to be covered, Balayya covered all the burning problems. Accidentally, he blamed the Congress government (state govt.) for the loss of software jobs while eulogising CBN for sowing the software seed in the state.
On the whole, it was a pretty successful and morale boosting session for TDP and would help in posing new challenges to Congress and Chiranjeevi. Yummy, the political scenario is getting spicier. I'm loving it!
PS: Balayya looks awesome on the hoardings and flexi boards.
Encounter with govt. depts.
I went to an e-seva counter at Begumpet today, to pay a fine levied by the Hyderabad traffic cops. The story unfolds as follows
According to the inland letter received from the commissioner's office, I jumped a traffic signal on January 03, 2008. I received a snail mail after a gap of nearly five months (on June 20th) asking me to pay Rs.135 as fine. I even don't know whether I committed the mentioned offense. First, I thought of writing to the commissioner asking him the reason for delay in sending the challan. But again, I was sure that I would never get a reply.
Hence, like a responsible citizen, I tried to pay it on the same day. Upon my friend Akhil's advice, we tried to pay it online. He already had registered with the website to pay fine for a similar offense. The server didn't accept his request. Thought the server was down and tried the day after. But the result was same. This went on for about one week. Finally, I and another traffic violator (my friend Ramakrishna) decided to end this agony by paying at the counter. Poor Akhil tried to pay online even minutes before our journey to the e-seva counter, but to no avail.
Finally, we were at the counter and were served with tokens and asked to sit in the waiting hall. There were about a handful of gentlemen (bill payers) inside and I thought it would all be over in a jiffy. But the server proved me wrong and made us wait for about 15 minutes. I learned from the team there that the server was down since June 21, 2007, and that there was no one to take care.
I believe that the e-seva concept is given a step motherly treatment by the current government, as it was started by TDP. Another interesting observation was that Rajiv's name was prefixed before the e-seva logo.
Enough of Rajiv bhajan, I sincerely wish Congress party's debacle in the coming elections, at least in Andhra Pradesh.

Why The Mega Star
This is continuation of my earlier post on Chiru and his entry into politics. It will be a mistake to say that Chiru will change Andhra Pradesh in a jiffy, if he wins the next elections.
I only say that we need some one who has a clean image (leave alone his family matters) and has been involved in giving something for the society which has given him the status, money and power to come to power. Couple of reasons and extended thoughts on why Chiru's entry is important
1. As said a good human being with a penchant for service. He already has enough money and so I think (but not sure) money is not the motivating factor for him to enter politics.
But not sure how will he be after joining the politics.
2. Through his loyal fans, who made his blood and eye banks huge success, he can achieve his ambition or take his initiatives closer to people better than normal political parties.
As to some comments on my friend's blog, the future of Chiru's son is more secured than Akshayee Khanna, Bobby Deol, Ranbir Kapoor, Farhadeen Khan, etc. His daughter episode is history now. As far as Chiru is concerned, it is too early for him to call it a day.
This said, it is important for Chiru not to follow the footsteps of late NTR who started with a bang and over a period of time became one among the many filthy politicians.
However, it would be better if Chiru decides to partner with a meaningful party like Lok Satta.
