Red and Blue

The Indo- US nuclear deal ought to be spelt with a "k", nuklear. And "US" should be typed up as "Yoo Es". Both these changes combined make it sound more rustic as well as Communist. Here's the deal, naming is important. See if US wasn't named a "red and blue" nation our Yechuris and Karats probably wouldn't have any beef with them. Remove the blue and leave the red, then I am sure our brothers at CPI(M) wouldn't have raked up this issue. But here's another deal. The reds aren't playing too fair. The reds are crawling up our necks. The reds don't mind helping the shooting of monks. Incidentally the monks too were clothed in red- haha...dressed to kill (their claim?).

Some say color should be overlooked. I am not talking about skin color. That's a whole different issue. But the color red. Intriguingly we have shades of both these red and blue spectrum on our national flag. So we are caught smack in the middle. What does India do? As the Priminister said, and paraphrasing him, India is not a one track nation, although at times it gives such an impression. Maybe we will move onto better things from here on. Only thing is...if the reds still keep poking at India and keep threatening to strangle any progress they should be given the blues.

Clearly I am a supporter of the nuclear deal. And clearly I harbor little love for the present Reds. Why, you ask? In all their years of "rule" in West Bengal they really didn't get too far. The Bengali junta might throw tomatoes at me but that will surely not make me incline towards their redness.

Just a thought: English needs to be revised...it paints Red in the wrong light often. OK...call it yellow.
