Political Satire, Tales of corruption and incompetence, , , , ,
India is gripped by an epidemic. Our most vulnerable population, men in positions of power & authority, are being forced to take responsibility for acts of sexual aggression. Never before has the status quo been challenged so brazenly. Going forward, there could be a possibility that entitled men may need to think twice before catcalling, inappropriately touching and/or sexually assaulting women. These are trying times for our men.

Kejriwal’s media-fed frenzied ‘movement’ inspired many to join the AAP. But even in the party’s early days, some key personnel chose to break-up with the party within months. And as they left, everyone said the same thing - there is no democracy in Kejriwal's party and little difference in the way AAP functions when compared to other (so called 'corrupt') parties. Hasya Kavi Kumar Vishwas is not a happy man these days. Though his smile Read more [...]

The aftermath of India’s surgical strikes has provided us with a new hero – Arnab Goswami. Every night, on super primetime, Arnab and his ego, put on a beautiful performance where they painstakingly take down every opinion that could be perceived as anti-Indian. Instead of using rationale or reason, Arnab uses the most effective tools available – bullying, shouting and mocking. Never mind if the person at the receiving end is Indian or Pakistani.

  The nation is rejoicing as Anna’s farce fast unto ‘death’ crusade ends. We decided to compare this with another hunger strike being kept by Irom Chanu Sharmila. A fast which has lasted for more than 10 years... Why is she fasting? Sharmila is protesting against the Armed Forces – Special Powers Act (AFSPA) which confers special powers to the Army in states in North East India. This allows the army to effectively search any premise Read more [...]
