Dhoble goes 'Taliban Style!'

Dhoble goes 'Taliban Style!" cartoon by Chaitanya Raj Goyal

ACP Vasant Dhoble's actions (Taliban Style) have recieved mixed response from 'Mumbaikars'. Some support him for shutting down their noisy neighbourhood pubs and clubs while some praise him for ridding their colonies of being a car parking hub....but this 'some' only constitutes a handful of people relative to the outrage that his actions have caused across Mumbai! 

Perhaps his style of working is more to be blamed. His slaps, his abusive approach, his habit of categorizing partying, dancing youth as prostitutes and pimps, casually recommending them to remand home and not to forget his favourite hockey stick with which he has indeed rekindled the much needed love for the sports! Hahaha... All those waiters, owners and people who still have the burning red marks from the stick on their butt should try to understand Mr. Dhoble's love for the national sport! It's probably because he is so busy raiding 'juice centers' that he has begun to practice off field. 

Perhaps, 'Mumbaikars' (supportive & against) and Mr. Dhoble will reach a common solution soon with all the news, pressure, campaigns and outrage building up. Till then let me enlighten you with the new Maharashtra Police tagline - "Hockey ko Dil do" - "nahi toh hospital ka bill do" ! Srry..PJ! :D

ACP Vasant Dhoble takes over Mumbai's Nightlife!

"ACP Vasant Dhoble takes over Mumbai's Nightlife!" cartoon by Chaitanya Raj Goyal

This cartoon is with regard to the recently in-news "Dhoble cases" where he has been accused of raiding private parties and pubs unnecessarily and justifying his acts as "MORAL POLICING!" Also 'accused' & hated by 'Mumbaikars' for beating up waiters and club owners with hockey sticks, terming partying girls as prostitutes, arresting partying men under the charges of 'Human-trafficking'...... aaaaand the list never ends!

In a nut shell - this guy has put an end to late night private parties, loud music, drinking, dancing and the youth are so frightened by his acts that the ever so popular night life of the city has come to a halt! After all, who wants to be seen covering his/ her face being pushed into the police jeep on national television and being termed as a prostitute or pimp for doing nothing but dancing or drinking  at a pub after a hard days work! :D

Perhaps he is not liked because this is not the way to go about this problem,......... the root of drugs supplied to rave parties is more of a concern than causing unnecessary media commotion by extensive raiding of bars, pubs and nightclubs, bullying people and shaming youngsters publicly before collecting substantial proof.

Preet Bharara convicts Rajat Gupta! "Desi vs. Desi"

Preet Bharara convicts Rajat Gupta! "Desi vs.Desi" cartoon by Chaitanya Raj Goyal

The recent news on Rajat Gupta's conviction was heartbreaking! This guy who was orphaned in his teens, graduated from IIT Delhi and after attending Harvard rose on to become the MD of McKinsey for a decade and a director at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Procter & Gamble Co. Today, he became the most prominent executive to be convicted in a five-year U.S. crackdown on insider trading at hedge funds.

Preet Bharara - the famous Indian American Lawyer known for his expertise in white collar corruption cases (also named by the TIMES as 100 most influential people in the world) was the one to put Gupta's American dream to an end. Gupta who is also the the co-founder of the Indian School of Business and has contributed to the society in a number of charitable ways was termed 'unlucky' by the emotional jury members, some of whom wept as he was announced guilty! 


Well whats done is done! The fight put up by Bharara was indeed 'Pretty Karara' and hope others learn from Gupta's act of leaking 'Gupt' info. to outsiders. Though I really feel Mr. Gupta was extremely unlucky................... in terms of getting caught! :)

"Pranab for Prez?"

"Pranab for Prez?" cartoon by Chaitanya Raj Goyal

With all this hearty support from most political parties but Trinamool and Team Anna, will Pranab Mukherjee make it to the 'Golden Gate'?? He has tried on numerous occasions earlier also to reach out for the post of PM and President, but to no avail. Will his hard work pay off this time? Nominating Mukherjee for President has sparked out an unseen, unnoticed war between ambitions and responsibilities.

Mukherjee, who also holds the reins of the Indian Financial Ministry is gladly ready to wash his hands off the responsibility of running the Financial Ministry and bringing it out of the current economic crisis, which is probably the worst that the nation has witnessed post 1991 and we all know who's responsible. Yes! Of course, someone like PC will take over , but is this to be taken so lightly? " Dude, I am moving to the Rashtrapati Bhavan, you handle the crumbling nation, the free fall of the rupee, the falling investments and the GDP and the rising interest rates,...I m sure you'll do great!!...Oh yes!...Don't forget the hungry stomachs - Veges are really costly for them now-a-days!"

Is there no one else in the country who can do justice to the position of the "Rubber Stamp"? Someone with such special skill set as required to be the president of India?? Someone who doesn't hold such critical positions of responsibility? Of course there are....There's Kalam, Sangama, Ansari, Chaterjee and many others. But NO! It has to be Pranab for PREZ!

Probably Pranab is of the view that, no one really cared for the team's loss when Tendulkar scored his 100th ton against Bangladesh, so "let the economy go in dumps, I'll pull their attention towards 'My 100th ton'." How our politicians put their self interest above their country's is well visible through such incidences! As they said in 'Shanghai' - "Jai Bharat!"
