Raj Thackeray's Reaction to Mumbai Terrorist Crisis

1. Raj Thackeray has threatened to beat up the NSG, Army and Navy commando's if they enter Mumbai again because most of them are non Marathi Manoos
2. He also has threatened violence if the Sign Boards of NSG, Army and Navy are not written in Marathi.
3. He also expressed his anger towards the non Marathi media for giving so much attention to NSG, Army and Navy commando's. Where was the media when my Marathi Manoos gang was beating up innocent taxi drivers in Mumbai??
4. He has also threatened the residents of Colaba for chanting "Bharat Mata Ki Jai" after the successful completion of NSG operations. According to him they should have chanted "Jai Maharashtra"
5. He said that he has no problems with terrorists so long as they adapt to the Marathi culture and help him beat up innocent non Marathis in Mumbai. In fact he welcomes terrorist action in hotels because it will deter outsiders from coming to Mumbai.

Msg from Keith Hayward

Hello Radheshyam,

Just to say 'Thank You' for the last 12 Months (2008). Without YOU and the Blog, we would have more than likely not met each other again,(after 44 years)! Our friendship rekindled all our memories, like 'Goethals' "Keep The Sprits High"
Merry Christmas to you, Manju and all your Family.
With our Best Wishes,

Keith, Sylvia And Family.

If you see a happy face,
Who's jolly and cute,
Wearing a beard and a red
flannel suit,
And if he is chuckling and
laughing away,
While flying around in a
miniature sleigh,
With eight tiny reindeer to pull him along,
Then let's face it...
It's *Merry Christmas* and a Happy 2009

Thank you Keith and Sylvia for your kind wishes.

It was real nice of you.
We Indians need the world's good wishes with all that is going on in India.
My family too wish you and your family a very happy Christmas.
My grand daughter is well and growing fast.

Radheshyam & Manju

Recd from Arun Shroff

Dear Friends,

Please note...... dates of terror ( may be From Pakistani , I think)

13 May -------- JAIPUR
June---------NA----------
26 July ------------ AHMEDABAD
August ------------NA---------------
13 September ------------ DELHI
October ----------NA---------------
26 November --------------- MUMBAI
December --------NA ( hopefully )
13 January ----------------- What Next?

Please be careful in the week of January 13.
This might be some random observation of sequence dates of bomb blasts or terror attacks.
But there's no harm in keeping ourselves alert.

Pass it to every Indian & tell them be alert on this date.

Another E mail recd from one of my friends inform of following eventful days.
It probably covers the missing months.

26 Dec Tsunami
26 Jan Gujarat Earthquake
26 Feb Godhra Fyre
26 June Gujarat Floods

Is it too much of a coincidence or is 26th an unlucky day for India.
Well, surely all our Presidents were not bad.
I have already given my opinion on the present one in an earlier post in our blog.
It would seem to prove the point.

This is from Partha Sengupta

After numerous rounds of "We don't even know if Osama is still alive," Osama himself decided to send George Bush a letter in his own handwriting to let him know he was still in the game.
Bush opened the letter and it contained a single line of Coded message:
370H-SSV-0773H
Bush was baffled, so he e-mailed it to Condoleezza Rice .
Condi and her aides had not a clue either, so they sent it to the FBI.
No one could solve it at the FBI so it went to the CIA, then to MI6 and Mossad.
Eventually they asked Indian Intelligence (CBI) for help.
Within a minute, CBI emailed the White House with this reply: "Tell the President he's holding the message upside down."
