Hi Raj,
Years ago you uncle shot to limelight by using divisive tactics and now you're trying to rob him of his lines. Like him, you've let loose your hoodlums on the innocent public belonging to the North. I understand your concern. After all the old tiger is toothless now and you need to show some teeth to get your point across. Old he might be, but your uncle may not like you to steal his limelight. He wanted to rid Maharashtra of South Indians at one time. You want to be different, I guess. So, it is North Indians this time. I appreciate that line of thought.
You are a young man in a hurry. With the Thackeray name to support you, the haste is wasted, you know. Your party coffers are not in a healthy state, I know, since the party is a new one. But, dear Sir, there are many ways of filling up the coffer. Looting and beating people to a pulp and collecting protection money is not the only method. What about the dons? Why not get them to pay you 'Operating Fees'. I am sure that will give you much more moolah.
I know you are nostalgic about the past century when the country was divided into tiny kingdoms. I for one, wouldn't mind going back to those days when valiant kings of small kingdoms warred constantly. I am thinking of setting up a unit to manufacture bombs, you see. Of course, the unit has to be situated in your state since you require them most. What says you? I promise to give you enough hafta out of my profits.
There is one more point I want to make. You must throw Big B out of Maharashtra and transport him to Uttar Pradesh where he can turn into a farmer since he declared himself a farmer while buying the farm land. Amar Singh could join him in growing barley, that is if Mayawati doesn't have any objection to Aby Baby's barley field.
Since Aishwarya has a school in her name, she can take up teaching. Ash will definitely make a glamorous teacher. She will be happy to do the job if hubby Abhishek agrees to take charge of ringing the school bell, I am sure. Their children can join the school as and when they arrive and it can all remain in the family. That takes care of the Big B's family.
Now getting back to this business of ridding Maharashtra of the North Indians...I think you should give it a second thought. I don't think you will be happy if the migrant population leaves the state.
Ask me why?
Because you won't have any punching bags left to vent your ire...
So, let them remain there...you may need to practise your punches, what will the Beijing Games around the corner. Relax pal, you never know, you may just win a few golds and do us proud.
Yours humbly,
A non -Marathi punching bag Close
A good and light hearted dig at hard hearted Raj.

Tanushri,
This is a wonderful post. Sarcastic to the hilt and why not? The season is silly and it is time for sarcasm. And it is sarcasm beautifully done. cooked to a perfect golden crisp!

Dear Atims,
LIked your comment city is over streached so I have a suggestion for real Mumbaikars like you.
Will real Mumbaikars please protest against Certral Railway , Western Railways , Indian Navy , Indian Oil Corporation and various PSUs to move out thier HQ from Bombay to else where so that load on city can be reduced ?
Will you please protest against Tatas to Move out Tata Sons and Tata companies HQs from Bombay house to say Gorakhpur ? Same for both Ambani brothers and various splinter groups of Birla family ?
During reign of Akbar and Jahangir Agra was a great cosmopolitian city but with seat of political power being moved out the pressure on city reduced. Calcutta was overloaded with migrant industrial workers from Hindi belt but Commies solved the problem and people no longer aspire to migrate to this city. Why not same solution for Bombay instead of Hoogalism against poor workers or even more civilized protest in form of comments such as city being streached etc. ?
You see some of these steps will make sure that "rest of India" as you say grows and load on this great city will be reduced.
I am sure you personally will not support any of these moves but will create noises on City being over streached and thus Raj and Croonies will contibue to get support.
Regards

Wahanh (UP) jaai to "Thakur" aur "Yadava" men problum hai; yehan aai to "Marathi" aur "Bhaiyaa" men problum hai . Jaai to kahan jaai saab ! batao to ? (as said by my domestic help)

A good one Tanushree..... Is there any way of making him read all that "Aam Janta" feels? Mumbai was one place where all Indians felt comfortable.... It is saddening that it too has joined the bandwagon of " out with usurpers!" kind of mentality.

Hi jaijui,
I have nothing against the Thackeray parivar but I do feel that they have to consider themselves Indians first....
Thanks for being here.
Cheers!

hye tanushree,
good satire .. enjoyed reading the darts you threw at Raj and associates
one thing i have to say is that the thackeray family has fought for the upliftment of the maharastrians ..for the past 30 odd years ....the means they have used may not be savoury at times .
cheers,

Tanushri,
Very well written....your message came through strong and clear. I hope the residents of Mumbai will wake up one day and heed to call to keep the likes of Thackeray out of power.

Dear Krishnan Bala,
Thanks for dropping by. You're absolutely right when you point out that the migrants are there to fulfil a need.. Mumbai needs them as much as they need the city...time Thackeray & sons (nephews, too) realised that...
I'll definitely read your blog on the subject...
Regards,
Tanushree
