Jeev Milkha Singh at the US Masters

What was Jeev Milkha Singh’s target at the US Open:

 

“to get par”

 

It is a PJ which is more suitable for another blog Punny Journalist and only for those who understand Hindi for the pun is in the Hindi meaning of the word “par”.

Slogan for Varun Gandhi

Varun Gandhi is debuting his political life in India and in style. Varun is from the Nehru-Gandhi political family; he is the son of Sanjay Gandhi/Maneka Gandhi, grandson of Indira Gandhi and nephew of Sonia Gandhi.

 

Varun belongs to the Bharatiya Janata Party and the slogan raised by Bharatiya Janata Party workers for Varun caught my attention:

 

“Yeh Varun Nahi yeh aandhi hai, yeh doosra Sanjay Gandhi hai”

 

Varun in Hindi/Sanskrit means “Lord of the Seas/Waters” and Aandhi means – “dust storm”.

 

So when translated (and not transliterated) it means, “he is not the lord of the seas but he is a storm, he is the second Sanjay Gandhi”.

 

If you know about Sanjay Gandhi, you will know the significance of calling him “the second Sanjay Gandhi” as Sanjay Gandhi himself used to cause a lot of storms when he was alive.

 

Indian elections in general have some interesting slogans, of which I should compile another list, but this one caught my eye.
