RAHUL IN A PARTY MOOD SOON AFTER MUMBAI ATTACK
Even before the tears of Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan’s mother could dry up, Congress general secretary and heir apparent Rahul Gandhi went partying with his pals at a farmhouse on Delhi’s outskirts.
The Prince partied hard, till 5 in the morning, on Sunday at the ‘sangeet’ for the forthcoming wedding of Samir Sharma, his childhood friend. They were at a sprawling farmhouse at Radhey Mohan Chowk, the haven of people who lead charmed lives beyond Chhatarpur.
Just a day earlier, his sister Priyanka Vadra had caused a flutter by saying the late Indira Gandhi would have “made us very proud” by the way she would have reacted to the Mumbai terror strikes. Mumbai appeared to be far from her brother’s mind as he boogied at the farmhouse with Samir Sharma, US-based furniture designer son of Captain Satish Sharma, the late Rajiv Gandhi’s flying partner who nursed the First Family’s pocketborough, Rae Bareli, till Sonia Gandhi chose to contest from there in 2004.
The Prince seemed to be completely out of sync with the mood of the nation post-26/11. Since Wednesday night, officials have been cancelling parties they were meant to host and even restaurants called off special events.
Saturday night’s ‘sangeet’ was a lavish affair. It was hosted by Leena Musafir, sister of the woman with whom Samir is getting married, and her husband Inder. The party was attended by over 800 guests, including regulars at Page 3 dos. “When everyone is cancelling parties or just keeping them low-key, Rahul Gandhi had no business to be celebrating. His action makes us lose faith in future leaders,” said Ajay Bahl, a leading corporate lawyer who was trapped in the thick of the action on 26/11 at The Oberoi, Mumbai, but managed to escape with the help of the hotel staff.
The Gandhis, including Sonia Gandhi’s mother Paola Maino, were present in strength at the 2004 wedding of Samir’s sister, Sarika, who is married to actorturned- TV producer Rahul Bhatt. Sarika and Rahul now manage a television production house.
The two families may be very close — Captain Sharma and his wife, Sterre, were present throughout the very private wedding of Priyanka Gandhi and Robert Vadra — but the circumstances now are very different.
As a guest at the ‘sangeet’ remarked on the condition of anonymity, “We were all partying, but none of us is a public person. Rahul Gandhi, however, is. He must be more responsible in his social appearances.Courtesy: Mail Today

It'd save much time if u set archives to monthly.
Dear Sandeep,
AS desired by you, i have arranged archives to monthly. Pleae let me know about you.
it's shame... what example will they set ?
Dear Deepak,
Do you still hold politicians as pious icons to set an example ? I am sorry, your knowledge about politicians is poor. Please don't mind, these politicians should rather go to the villages and learn what values are. Our villagers are still isloted from the corrupt practices, what we adopt in urban India. And in urban India too, corruption filters down from top to bottom. We try to emulate these Page 3 politicians and their lifestyle. Politicians are like cockroaches. You have to throw them out from the system.
I am back dude, from this busy life!
Party after the blasts? It seems like he has done the blasts and now he is celebrating them! It is the time of grief and sympathy, and he is doing a party.

Dear Saurabh,
Nice to have your comments after a long time. Thanks. It is very easy to pin point Pakistan for every terrorist attack in India. Recent terrorist attack, needs thourough probe. It is quite possible, there may be a hidden hand, which we will never know. It is India, my dear, where everything on this earth is possible.
its a shame to know about this...when the whole of nation was busy mourning , our future prime minister was partying..our country is definately gone to dogs...
Dear Lavi,
Thanks for your comments. After a long time. Who told you Rahul Gandhi can become our Prime Minister ? Please don't be under illusion. Dynastic rule days are numbered. The future will demand a profesional, not a member of some illustrious house.
