Changes at 10 Downing Street

I received this meme where people are asked to remove their shoes when entering 10 Downing Street. 

That prompted me to write this blog post. Since Rishi Sunak and his family have moved to 10 Downing Street, there will be some changes. 

No more English breakfast during morning cabinet meetings. Instead, they will be served idli and dosa with chutney and sambar. 

All silverware will be thrown out because the hosts eat with their hands. 

His wife is South Indian? Bye bye Tea and Hello Filter Coffee. 

Since Rishi is a teetotaler, there will not be Black Label Scotch Whiskey during cocktail hour. 

Work order sent to the Ministry of Public Building and Works to make custom made steps for use during Navaratri Golu. 

Extra security at the gate when the hosts take more than 30 minutes to say “good-bye” to each guest at the patio after the party.

Each bathroom will have lota (washing cup). That European bidet isn’t going to work. 

The oven will be used to store extra pots and pans. 

Old yogurt containers will be reused as leftover food storage. 

Turmeric stains EVERYWHERE. 

Currently, the Prime Minister Question Hour in the House of Commons is held at noon every Wednesday. It will be changed to an auspicious time and date to be determined by the family astrologer in India.

Karma is a

Bixch.

It took revenge for the British ruling India for 200 years. 

Rishi Sunak, an Indian origin in England, has been elected Prime Minister of England, unopposed.

Congratulations Rishi. 

Rishi will be England's first non-white Prime Minister.  As a Hindu, his victory comes on Diwali Day.

Winston Churchill is squirming in his grave.

A Page from the Past

In my last blog post “Rob DeSantis”, a blog reader Gowrishankar made the following comments: 

“…..our friend NM referred you as the California Governor”. 

I replied. “Correction. He referred me as the Special Representative of the California Governor”. 

That brought me back my memory of that past incident. I am writing this to show how politicians make all sort of BS not only to the public, but also to his own party men. 

This is what happened. 

We were on our vacation in Chennai. Invited to a cocktail get-together. There, someone introduced me to this Mr. NM. He is supposed to be close to the then Chief Minister Jayalalithaa. We were drinking and having a good time. Then this Mr. NM’s cell phone rang. I can hear only his side of the conversation. Here it goes: 

Hello 

Yes 

I am busy now 

Yes extremely important 

Talking to the Special Representative of  the California Governor. He is here to meet with Amma to talk about a huge project between California and Tamil Nadu. 

OK. 

See you later. 

Bye

All the people at the get together (including me) did not say a word.  Just smiled.  Mr. NM did not explain why he said that.  Party went on.

Ron DeSantis

Heard this name before? Probably not. Even in USA, not many people have heard this name. 

Mark my words. Remember this blog post. He could beome the President of the United States of America in 2024. He is at present the Governor of Florida. He is a Republican. 

DeSantis is 44 years old now. If he is elected President of USA in 2024, he would be 46 years old. He would become the 4th youngest President of USA. (Theodore Roosevelt 42 years old, Kennedy 43 years old, Clinton 46 years old.) 

Americans have a liking for people who served in the military. DeSantis served in the U.S. Navy. He graduated from Yale and Harvard. 

He was recently in the news for sending 50 illegal immigrants to Martha’s Vineyard via a chartered flight to make a political statement about illegal immigration. Here is a summary of that incident. 

(Lot of illegal immigrants are coming into the United States crossing the border in Arizona and Texas. Republicans are complaining that Biden Administration and Democrats are not doing enough to stop this illegal immigration. Some democrats ruled states and cities declared themselves as sanctuary places for these illegal immigrants. But they don’t want illegal immigrants in their backyard. They want Arizona and Texas to handle this problem. DeSantis chartered a plane, put 50 illegal immigrants in that plane, and dropped them in Martha’s Vineyard. It is the vacation home for multi billionaires who are democrats. Obama has a mansion there. Arizona and Texas Governors chartered many buses and transported hundreds of illegal immigrants to sanctuary places like New York, Washington, DC, and Chicago.)

There are some criticisms for his handling the Covid-19 issue. As a Governor, he refused to impose statewide mask orders. Also banned mandatory vaccines. 

But DeSantis’ handling during Hurricane Ian in Florida is commended by everyone including Democrats and Biden.

If Trump (Republican) decides to run for President in 2024, then it would be a tough and interesting fight between these 2 for the Republican nomination.
