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?"

With regards,
Hemen Parekh

Marriage Season is upon Us !



Election Commission will announce the results of Lok Sabha elections on 16th May


And , declare open the Marriage Season


Marriages of convenience - no doubt  !


Both , NDA and UPA will fall short of absolute majority , by 50 - 100 seats


Floor Managers and Business Brokers will swing into action to weave a complex web of Mergers and Acquisitions ( M & A  )


Independent candidates will offer themselves for Rs 50 Crores


(  Remember the movie , " Dulhaa  Beekta  Hain "  ?  )


Party offices of smaller parties will carry the banners ,



"  Sale  !  Sale  !  


{  Except that this is not , a  " Going out of Business "  sale


It is a ,  " Getting into Business "   sale  !  },


We are selling honesty , integrity , honour , conscience , morals , ethics , self-respect , party-name  etc . You name it - we got it  !


Here are our going " Market Rates " :


* For 10 seat support................. 2 seats of  Minister of State


* For 20 seat support ...............  2 seats of  Cabinet Minister


* For 30 seat support ..............   Minister of Industry + Minister of Trade "



Yesterday's sworn enemies ( who wanted to dispatch you to Pakistan or jump into Indian ocean ) , will suddenly become " Bosom Friends "


" Enemy of enemy " will cease to be a friend


" Friend of a Friend " who sells-out to opposition , will become an enemy !


Like the annual ritual of the Jain Community ( Kshamapana ), saleable Dulhaas , will beg  Kshamaa ( forgiveness )  of everyone they abused during the past one year


They are chanting :


*  Let us forget the insults and forgive each other


*  Let us not be vindictive and let loose the " Caged Parrot " / ED  etc


*  Let us work as a team to quadruple our assets ala Jamaai-Raja


*  Let us reward the people who voted us to power , with "Broken Promises"


*  Let the  "  Winter-of-Conflict "  be over on 12th May


*  Let the  " Summer -of - Swindle "  begin on 16th May



PEOPLE  OF  INDIA ,


Is it any surprise that the " Greatest Circus on the Earth " is followed by the " Weirdest  Horse-trading on the Earth "  ?


And even if you don't like horses , don't insult other animals such as Dogs , Monkeys , Rats , Elephants etc , by naming this trade after them  !


You are damned if you vote : damned if you don't  !
