Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

From “ Sworn “ to “ Sworn-in “


If you are an Indian, return on investment over 5 years would have been as follows :

Gold – 138 % /  Mutual Funds – 67 % / Shares – 64 % / Fixed Deposits – 46 %

But you could have doubled your assets if you were a “ Sworn-in “ MLA ( Member of Legislative Assembly ).

It might even help if you happen to be a “ Sworn “ criminal as well !

Here is proof :

[ State ]   /   [% increase in assets of re-contesting MLAs in 5 years ]  /  [ % of MLA against whom criminal cases are pending ]


Ø  Tamil Nadu        /     195 %     /    29 %

Ø  Assam               /     187 %    /     10 %

Ø  Kerala               /     175 %     /     ?

Ø  Puduchhery       /     136 %     /     30 %

Ø  West Bengal      /       71  %    /     35 %

These figures are based on the affidavits filed by the MLAs with the Election Commission.

Thank God , Election Commission does not require you to declare the assets of your relatives !

With regards
