Naming Cyclones
Whenever I heard of cyclones Rita and Katerina I somehow formed an opinion that cyclones are named only in the US. I now understand that that's not the case. But still, reading "Cyclone 'Baaz' expected to hit TN" tickles the funny bone. Naming cyclones in India? Why not? But what will the political parties say on this? An imaginary happening.
Day1:
Tamil Fanatic: "This is atrocious. How can we give 'our' cyclone a foreign name? Giving respect to our esteemed culture we should name the cyclone in Tamil"
News in DD: "Tamil development organizations requesting for naming cyclones hitting TamilNadu in Tamil"
Day 2:
Ruling party member: "Yes yes. We should not use foreign names like Rita and Katerina in our land. We should christen the cyclone as 'Manbumigu Amma' "
J-TV News: "Victory for the Tamil people. Cyclone 'Baaz' to be called 'Manbumigu Amma' from now on". J-TV shows happiness in the face of few village persons. One person says "It is very apt that the cyclone has been given our leader's name"
When asked separately for his opinion on the cyclone, the villager says "It is nice that people get loan to purchase cycles. Cycle-Loan is definitely a great initiative by our Thalaivi"
S-TV News: "J taking law into her own hand. K demands a judicial inquiry". S-TV interviews few NRIs who support them.
Day 3:
Opposition party member: "How can they give her name to the cyclone. It should be called 'Kalaignar' cyclone"
S-TV News: "Opposition demands justice"
J-TV News: "Opposition unruly in the house"
Day 4:
The cyclone destroys part of Kadalur. Newspapers publish the news.
Neutral Newspaper: "Baaz kills 100 in Kadalur"
Ruling party's Newspaper: "Manbumigu Amma kills 100 in Kadalur"
Opposition’s Newspaper: "Kalaignar kills 100 in Kadalur"
Day 5:
Neutral Newspaper: Editors of both the ruling and opposition newspapers have been sacked due to undisclosed reasons. It has been mutually agreed that the cyclone would be called "Veerappan" from now on.

lol ram, but idu konjam too much.. yes as aks says, even the imaginary things r possible to happen in our country!
when 1000 ppl are suffering without home n food for life, our politicians discuss the modesty of "Kushboo" and about the much worried about the cricket match getting cancelled..
it wont be a surprise if the things stated by you as imaginary does happen in reality x-(
