Politics is a very complex field; more so because it involves human relationships with a variety of objectives in mind. Politicians have their own lexicon. They have a unique art of expressing the same situation in different words, depending on which side of the table they are. Such ambiguous expressions help the politicians evade uncomfortable situations and make good of opportunities.
Someone once said, "A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort." This decades old quote holds true even today and the Commonwealth Games is a befitting example. The recent launch of the theme song for Delhi by Euphoria is the icing on the cake. It takes optimism to dizzying heights.
Whenever I hear that some politician reached late to some destination because he/she was stuck in a traffic jam, it strangely makes me happy. The recent news of our Union Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee getting an unsolicited telemarketing call in the middle of a very serious high-level meeting, made me ecstatic!
Nitin Gadkari was chosen as the president because he was seen by many in the BJP as a clear thinker, an organiser and as someone who has a forward-looking attitude.

Instead, he has landed himself into one controversy after another due to his loose comments.
Those who follow the developments on the stock market would agree that not every stock price movement is linked to the fundamentals of a company. There are many other factors like global and domestic economic and political developments, private agreements, third party assessments, and above all, market sentiment that affect the stock price movements. It is these factors that are a trader's delight.
There are two sides to the story of innocent lives being lost at the hands of our soldiers. One, are the alleged fake encounters purportedly being done by some of our Army or police men for winning awards and recognition. On the other side, are the protests leading to more loss of innocent lives.
We, Indians, love cricket. Since the time India has been ousted from the T20 World Cup, media is abuzz with debates about why we lost? Some, which include Dhoni, say it was because of fatigue from the IPL matches, while others attribute it to excessive partying and lack of practice. Whatever be the reason, one thing is very worrying. We all seem to have lost the spirit of sportsmanship.
