I think the joke is on the Bachchans. Look what has become of the proud and traditional family of Harivanshrai and the indomitable Teji. They have become personal "bhaands" of Mulayam Singh Yadav and Amar Singh in UP. 32190@desicritics.org Wed, 22 Nov 2006 08:54:20 EST http://desicritics.org/2006/11/21/031601.php#comment-31979 Sorry for the typo,the MSV on the comment part actually was meant to be MSY. 31979@desicritics.org Tue, 21 Nov 2006 23:38:13 EST http://desicritics.org/2006/11/21/031601.php#comment-31888 Saakshi : Mulayam Singh Yadav (MSY) has converted the "Yash Bharti" award to "Bachchan Bharti".Abhishek Bachchan is the new youth icon and is a buzzword word in Bollywood these days..Mulayam confers this award on Junior B,so that he can use him in the election campaigns. Smart move MSV,but note that the amount of 5Lakhs may be a petty amount for Junior B,but had that been offered to a distinguished and reputed poet or a literary person,it would have meant a whole lot of value to them..MSY please don't act irrationally for your personal benefits... 31888@desicritics.org Tue, 21 Nov 2006 14:24:04 EST
