Two women take umbrage

First it was the foreign secretary of the Government of India and now it is a former minister. The Indian news space has been full of people expressing umbrage. It reflects a feeling of offense or annoyance. Like the foreign secretary felt umbrage at the snub she got from the PMO or the former minister who took umbrage at being denied a meeting with the party high command. 
Umbrage is the Smart-Vocab word this week! 


#PMO #JayanthiNatarajan

Another one goes by

Here's wishing that in #2015 ...

Barack Obama finally discovers on 26th January that India indeed is a sovereign republic . 

India defends its World Cup title at the MCG on 29th March - Dhoni or no Dhoni! (Don't worry Ravi Shastri is there!)

The rebooting of particle smasher at Cern allows the media to talk of discoveries different than say Miley Cyrus! 

Folks will stop showing off their Apple iPhone 6 Plus as their maids would be showing off their Apple Watch.

The rich nations will look within rather than blaming their poor brethren on climate change and Paris is not as lame as Lima.

There are no regrouping of groups and we rather leave the lunatics on the grass and avoid Endless Rivers!

That the 200th Anniversary of Waterloo stays a non-even in India for neither do we have enough water nor enough loos!

And loos brings us on to the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan - We hope the movement reaches the legislature buildings across India to remove all the crap that blooms in those chambers there.

And finally, that the conversion drives converts everyone residing in India into Indians - religion not withstanding!

Hope you had a smile reading this. And we pray that the smile stays all the year around our bad humour notwithstanding!
