The Possible Retirement Date for Tendulkar!

While Tendulkar has denied having any retirement plans in the short-term, his supporters
are said to be thinking of one possible date for him to retire, dad.
Father: Interesting.
Go on, son.
Son:
The New Zealand seamer Dough Bracewell had clean bowled Tendulkar during India’s
first innings on the second day of the second test recently, dad.
Father: True.
Go on, son.
Son:
Bracewell’s uncle John had also dismissed Tendulkar in a test match exactly 22
and half years ago, dad.
Father: True.
Go on, son.
Son:
Tendulkar may now wait until a (third generation) nephew of Dough Bracewell,
gets an opportunity to dismiss him in a test, dad!
Father: I don’t
know, son!
The Colgate v/s the Coalgate!
Son: The new generation kids
appear to have become too smart for their parents, dad.
Father: How come? Go on, Son.
Son: One young school-going kid is
said to have asked his dad what was the difference between Colgate and Coalgate,
dad.
Father: Go on, son.
Son: While the perplexed father
was scratching his head, the child is said to have told him that he knew the correct
answer, dad!
Father: Wonderful.
Go on, son.
Son: The
kid told him that Colgate is the famous tooth paste brand used to brush our teeth daily, dad.
Father: Go
on, son.

added that the Coalgate is a scandal the present UPA Government is unable to brush aside easily, dad!
Father: I
don’t know, son!
The Retrospective
Effect!
Son:
Now that Pranab Mukherjee has moved out of the Finance Ministry and P
Chidambaram (PC) has taken charge, the infamous proposal for retrospective
amendment of Income Tax Act, has started haunting those who were the brain
behind the scheme, dad.
Father:
True, go on son.
Son:
A certain section of the Ministry had vociferously drafted the amendment to subvert
the decision of the Supreme court in the Vodafone tax case, dad.
Father:
Go on, son.
Son:
This section is said to be afraid of PC who has decided to keep the amendment
in cold storage, dad.
Father:
Afraid of what? Go on, son.
Son:
They are afraid that PC may transfer them out of the ministry with
retrospective effect, dad!
Father:
I don’t know, son!
Not Interested Anymore!

leader Advani had issued a statement saying that the next Prime Minister of
India will be neither from BJP nor from Congress, dad.

Go on, son.

It is reported that the media men in Bangalore had approached H D Deve Gowda
for his comments in the matter, dad.

on, son.

The former PM is said to have told them that he is no more interested in the
post, dad!
Father: Go
on, son.

Finding the journalists in a shocked condition, the former PM is said to have told
them that he, however, does not mind his son Kumaraswami entering the ring,
dad!
Father: I
don’t know, son!

Nobody, indeed, can hazard a date for T's retirement. DG can always find a suitable candidate for any post. For kids, Coalgate is LTE.
