Jaago (Man) Mohan Pyaare

From the past few years I have been suffering from a mild insomnia and consequently I have developed a constant jealousy for those people who can sleep like a log. My first target of envy was definitely bihadi who can sleep even while standing in a crowded running MTC bus. I used to wonder how can one sleep like that or its just that he is somehow related to Kumbhkarna, the younger brother of Ravana. Whenever you wake him, he will say only one statement "arrey yaar thodi der aur sone de". This jealousy was not to last too long and it rather changed into a feeling of sympathy for bihadi when I saw our PM Manmohan Singh. I rather felt that may be Bihadi doesn't know that he is also suffering from insomnia and need some treatment. When I saw Manmohan Singh, i felt, yes here is the man who slept two years back and still sleeping.Normal people complain of missing the schools/offices by snoozing the alarm clocks in sleep but our PM cannot be woken by even RDX blasts, forget about snoozing.

Just like Bihadi, whenver anyone tries to wakes him up he also repeats the same statement which he has been using over and over again. His common statements include "This is a ghastly attack on humanity, they are trying to divide us but we Indians won't kneel in front of anybody. Pakistan should dismantle terrorist infrastructure from its soil". When it comes to do something against terrorists the main steps taken by Manmohan Singh government includes repealing POTA and letting them do whatever they want.

When we look into the performance of Manmohan Singh government i can remember only these achievements:

Dismissing 5 governers because of their political background and then appointing genuinely neutral governors in those states. These governors include politically neutral people like S. M. Krishna, Buta Singh and Smt. Pratibha Devi Patil etc.

Counting the Muslim population in Army (I doubt if there is any need for LeT to try and divide the country)

Providing the reservation to OBCs in Central Universities without even specifying properly the need to do so. ( I will say why LeT/Pak are wasting their time in trying to divide the country, we Indians are self reliant now and can do things ourselves).

Repealing the POTA and doing nothing after bomb blasts one happening on after the other as if India is celebrating a year long Diwali this time. No culprits were found be it Delhi blasts on Diwali, Varanasi blasts, Srinagar and recently Bombay blasts to name a few in the list.

Made severe blunder in the Kashmir related foreign policy by giving a proper third party status to Huriyat and accepting their claim that they represent Kashmiri people which was never the case till now.

Kept the economic policy to sabotage under the pressure of Left and all the talks of economic growth and disinvestment are lost somewhere.

I don't know where this country is heading under present UPA government. If the most educated PM in the history of country is unable to run this country properly I will lose faith over the effectiveness of education itself. I can think of only one song when I think of our PM "Jaago (Man) Mohan Pyaare" and I will buy an alarm clock if you don't have one otherwise I dont' know how many more people will die before you wake up.
