Centre is East : East is Left.

What I am going to say now will not be looked upon as news by those in the know. For those in the don't know however, this will come around as quite a shock.

I had set my first foot in the world of blogging with an intention of writing serious stuff, things that mattered to me, things that made me sit up and take notice. But somewhere down the line, after writing as many as two posts, I decided that the world was too serious already. I mean, if you surf around the blogger site, you will find loads of people unloading their emotional baggage, reeling off their worst fears, the facts about how the government is ruining the country and what not. I decided I wanted to be different. Similar, but different? Don't get it? Well, here is an explanation :

I love to lament about the state of affairs in my country. Believe me, I have so many facts and so much data about how and what is going wrong, when and where in the country, I could have written pages for a single post! This data I have gleaned during my travels around the internet, browsing through magazines, tabloids, and of course the news papers. Also, since I have access to the internet for free, I have also had time to look up some porn sites. But that is besides the point. What I would like to state here is that I am a well read person. And even if you wake me up in the middle of the night to ask what is the capital of India, I will nonchalantly say Kolkatta.

No, this is not a joke, as you might be inclined to think. Think about it. The government at the centre is currently being so pressurised by the Left, I sincerely believe that it is being run from Kolkatta. The centre is being forced to give up good plans that can work for the better of the country due to the lack of foresight (origin : from the word four-sight, meaning a person who wears double battery spectacles) and Bangla jingoism ( if there is any such thing ) of the Left. How else do you explain their acceptance of FDI ( Foreign Direct Investment, for the uninitiated ) in West Bengal and their vehement opposition to the same at the centre? Really inexplicable. Even more so, because all these people are guys and not females. If all of them were females, I would have just put it off as a sex thing. But I now I am seriously beginning to doubt their sanity. I think I will write a letter to my Warden and ask him to send those guys to spend their time with me here at the Mental Correction Institute.

I'm sorry. When I had started out writing this post, I had every intention to be as serious as possible. But I lost it after writing about three words. But I believe that the point I wanted to bring out has been dealt with. Which is this : Centre is Left. And although Left is not right, they have the might!
