Where is Osama?

No one seems to know. Though they do claim to be looking for him and have shortlisted some whereabouts.

Pakistan has denied the existence of Osama on their soil and asked for proof from those who believe otherwise.

Cartoons inspired by these events...

Parliament ka Saamna

The new reality show 'Sach ka Saamna' (face the truth) had to face some objections from Members of Parliament.

I mentioned this news and a relevant cartoon in a recent post about Parliament walkouts.

However, I think that one cartoon doesn't do justice to an issue as important as this.

After all, if it was important enough to be discussed in the Parliament, its important enough to inspire some more cartoons...

The tricky monkey

I can't help thinking about how much the monkey's behavior resembles human behavior, especially male humans!

Hang in there

While your tax money is spent on protecting and providing legal aid to captured terrorists like Kasab.

Although he has confessed and says he is ready to be hanged, Kasab's trial will continue.

Parliament walkies

Cartoons inspired by the Parliament 'walkouts' such as this...







And, one inspired by the extremely vital issues being discussed in Parliament...



I also think it would make a lot of sense if members of Parliament were made to follow the rules of a school classroom.



Thanks to streetanchor for suggesting the theme for this post.

TV as a contraceptive pill

"If there is electricity in every village then people will watch TV until late night and then fall asleep. They won't get a chance to produce children. When there is no electricity there is nothing else to do but produce babies."

These words were spoken by Ghulam Nabi Azad (
Indian Minister for Health and Family Welfare) and will form the basis of his India's unique and innovative population control mantra.

Azad's theory may have a point but it also inspired the following cartoons...

Lets face it

Facing the truth can be unpleasant and embarrassing.

Especially when you've got to face it in a televised reality show while your family sits right in front of you...watching, waiting, dreading the skeletons that may come out from your closet!

Sach ka Samna...





Speaking of truth, here's an older doodle art cartoon about digging the truth...

Does Mallika rock twitter?

twitter definitely thinks so.

According to twitter staff, "Since Mallika joined the Twitter service, membership in India has skyrocketed."

And so, Mallika Sherawat became the first Asian star to visit the twitter HQ.

Off track

Cartoons inspired by Railway minister Mamata Banerjee's Rail Budget and her argument with her predecessor Lalu about it...





And also, the fact that she used a jhola (cloth bag) rather than a briefcase to carry the budget papers to the Parliament...



Reminds me of the song 'Hum to jhola utha ke chale...'

Love rules

And this time around, the Delhi High Court too, has ruled in favor of love by legalizing homosexuality in India.

I'm thrilled for the gay community and the fact that they've finally gotten their rights.

Gimme Pizza

"Gimme pizza, P-I-Z-Z-A. Gimme pizza, P-I-Z-Z-A.

Now we're feeling kinda hungry.
We got the mega munchies.
Got to make our pizza as big as some countries.
How much pizza do you think we can chow?
More than our parents would ever allow.
We're gonna make a master-piece a pizza.
A work of art like the Mona Lisa.
It's gonna be high like the Tower of Pisa.
But to get there...You don't need a visa.

Pizza, P-I-Z-Z-A. Gimme pizza.
Uh, did I happen to say, I want pizza.
P-I-Z-Z-A. I want pizza.
Hey, are you ready to play?"


(From the 'Gimme Pizza' song by Mary-Kate and Ashley. I like the lyrics but the song doesn't sound anything great!)

Cartoons inspired by Pizza...
