Mayawati Govt. spent Rs 4900 crores, but has no records!

Last updated on: January 22, 2012 at 6:11 am   By Desh Kapoor

Mayawati’s Government is in serious trouble over a rural health program, where Rs 4900 crores has gone missing and there is nothing to back it all up! Where have Rs4,900 crore of National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) funds gone in Uttar Pradesh? The state government says it spent the amount to strengthen rural health services but failed to corroborate with bills and vouchers when the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) conducted a performance audit of NRHM’s implementation from... Read more

Mahatama Gandhi Jiving on the Dance Floor with a Foreigner

Last updated on: January 22, 2012 at 5:57 am   By Desh Kapoor

We don’t know whether this is a real picture of India’s Father of Nation, Mahatama Gandhi dancing along with this foreign lady, or a fake. It is known that Gandhi did take a few dancing lessons when in London as a student. Don’t know if this is where he used them? 🙂 Read more

This is Rajni’s site – and it runs WITHOUT internet

Last updated on: January 22, 2012 at 3:23 am   By Desh Kapoor

What should a site for Rajnikanth be like? A site that runs without internet of course!! 🙂 Well, Rajni jokes aren’t just that, they can be true as well. A local website Desimartini.com has now come out with a website devoted to the mighty Rajni which runs WITHOUT internet. The site is All about Rajni. In fact, it can run ONLY without the internet. When a person logs in one has to switch off the internet. And then, the entire... Read more

Jay Leno’s Mitt Romney Joke on Sikhs Golden Temple “not cool”!

Last updated on: January 21, 2012 at 6:18 am   By Desh Kapoor

American Entertainers are funny but many are pretty darn stupid. In this video, on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno”, Jay Leno – in an attempt to look funny and deride Mitt Romney and his wealth, shows the sacred religious place for Sikhs (and even Hindus) – The Golden Temple – as the home of “rich Mitt Romney”. Sikhs are not very happy with using their religious place as a plug for mockery in the US Presidential race. And one... Read more

Kolkatta Couple Lose their kids to Norwegian “Liberalism”

Last updated on: January 21, 2012 at 5:50 am   By Desh Kapoor

Scandinavian countries are known to be liberal societies. Well “liberal” is a relative word. In Indian homes you cannot have a meal without eating with your hands. And it is very common for the kids to also sleep with their parents. A Kolkatta couple – Anurup and Sagarika Bhattacharya – living in Norway, were just doing the usual. Or so they thought. Norway’s child protective services came one day and took the kids away from the parents and placed them... Read more

We will make Pakistan a Taliban State

Last updated on: January 21, 2012 at 4:47 am   By Desh Kapoor

How do you fight a person, when you can’t fight the mentality? The Jehadis in Pakistan have very clear enemies – Americans & Westerners, Jews, Indians (read Hindus), and the Muslims who aren’t “Muslim enough”. That is how the hierarchy of “Enemies of Islam” goes. What happened in Lahore is symptomatic of a larger malaise in Pakistani society and the difficulty of the nation’s psyche to extricate itself from it. When a Jehadi shouts hate slogans against a Jew or... Read more

Cowardly Maoist Leader, Nayeemuddin, likes having Female Bodyguards

Last updated on: January 21, 2012 at 3:53 am   By Desh Kapoor

Maoist Leader in India, Mohammed Nayeemuddin, has a personal role model – slain Libyan dictator, Mummar Gaddafi. Like his role model, he loves to have women defend him. So, he has women bodyguards around him. Remember how Osama Bin Laden died? He pushed his wife towards the Marines and used them as human shields, just as all the Jehadis keep doing all the time. Somehow these cowards seem to think very highly of women. Don’t they? On earth, they want... Read more

Plan to Fly Air India? You will love this one!

Last updated on: January 21, 2012 at 3:00 am   By Desh Kapoor

Do you feel that your Air India flight landing is a bit bumpy? Or the pilot doesn’t seem quite sure when he comes out for his “bio-break” whether he has been pushing the right buttons? You know that look, right? Or worse, he is coming out with the manual with the confused look asking YOU if he is getting the instructions to slow down the aircraft right. Well, don’t be surprised. The dude just failed flying the smaller aircrafts with... Read more
