In law school they teach us to make like chefs and question everything that moves and if the salt be just right, then even flick a passing query at things that don’t so move. And hence, this is what we had for breakfast today…
If the fertility rate in the State has decreased, why are school children celebrating… no one ever told me they are the segment most affected by fluctuations in fertility rate…
Also the following excerpts had us intrigued (of course they also had us rolling in the aisles… but it was intrigued mirth, who is the first cousin, never removed, of tears of joy)… the fertility rate has come down due to – and this is right off the presses – “concerted effort by the government at the highest levels”… I wonder if they really meant to write that?
And before I forget, there is further cause for the kids to bring out their Pokémons (or whatever it is that they play with these days) and wave them about joyously… the Maternity Mortality Rate and Infant Mortality Rate has also slumped since the Ministry for Health and Rural Affairs issued 8 lakh bus passes to pregnant women – bus passes today… free bibs tomorrow… “down with the IMR we say… shut down the penny stores… free liquor for those above five-and-a-half feet…”

Once in a while the perspicuity of politics renders even me speechless…

Some observations/ remarks/ barks/ hisses:-
1) School children are excited becoz they got nice shiny white caps in return and if you observe carefully, they r actually staring at their VICE CHANCELLOR who is explaining how he contributed to the decline..(though why they chose this particular segment of population to excite is beyond me)
2)the concerted efforts came after a lot of concert b/w frustrated, jobless nd a bunch of extremely bored people, so women! show some appreciation
3) the bus passes were issued to pregnant women to supress their suicidal/ child killing tendencies which is the most probable emotion in the unfortunate even that they actually had to shell out MONEY to ride in their fav APSRTC bus
And Ya, since the news clip was for PERSONS who were 12 years or above(school kids included), you were not supposed to read it.
PS: I like the 3-D effect of ur blog (or mayb I just drunk).. dude.. sahweeet!!!
