Looking for metaphor

This tragedy , I believe, more or less describes UPA government.

Parliamentary Zoocracy

Apparently Mukul Kesavan thinks that purpose of elections is to fill a zoo.

Honour

Why can't we have a day to honour Top Ramen Curry.

Update:  Mystery of Maggie, One of the the most profound mystery that I am trying to solve is, What the hell happened to Maggie, Maggie used to taste pretty good when I was a kid of about ten years, then I stopped eating Maggie (inspired by Nirogdham and Akhanda Jyoti). I resumed eating Maggie after a long long time in IIT, and it was simply uneatable when compared to Top Ramen Curry, granted much of it had to do with the way Maggie was prepared, but somehow after that I have developed a dislike for normal Maggie noodles, the one prepared from Atta are OK though.

Maverick is down

After Barack Obama became President of  US, there was expectedly* clamour among the chatterati in India to find home grown Obama. As luck would have it, considering the inept way campaign has been run**, we have our McCain in form of Shri Advani***

* Expectedly because chatterati aspires nothing more than to imitate America because it covets American approval even as it mocks America for being unsophisticated.

** Apparently BJP has gained ground in the second phase of elections. However considering the disaster that is  UPA govt. BJP's victory should have been a sealed deal. This election is like two player red queen's race in reverse. Both Congress and BJP are trying to lose.

*** Although McCain (famously known as maverick) ran an inept campaign, I will be frank, he has much better grasp of issues concerning US than Shri Advani has of India.

Aggregating aggrevation

You know what really pisses me off. The guys at Food Bazaar/ More/ Reliance Fresh/ Company Cafeteria who will refuse to tender change in cash for sodexho coupons from time to time for mysterious reason. Now they do state a reason which is since sodexho deducts some amount on coupons they can't tender cash, which is stupid because I have to work around this by adding a little cash to sodexho coupons while making payment at which point they will happily tender the change in cash.

I am sure some this is a suitable justification for homicide.

Journalistic misdemeanour

What, exactly, is aggressive reluctance ?
