Sahi Bolta Hai

Given the impending elections in certain parts of the country, the people of the country are polarised about who they support. Each side makes strong arguments in favor of their own candidate and their own factions. While the internet continues to argue over who is better suited to lead the people, representatives of these two 'opposite' factions quietly came together to keep a third contender away from the proverbial chair. What else can we say but, "Et tu?" :/ #SahiBoltaShrikant #RJShrikant #Radio #MH935 #RedFM #Pune #BajaateRaho

Recently, a few cities across the country faced a shortage of banknotes in ATMS, which led to worries among the general populace. This situation was soon resolved but not without certain concerns, it would seem. Shortly after, some ATMs in some cities spewed out fake INR 500 notes that were marked with "Churan Lable" (sic) and 'issued' by the Children's Bank of India. Hmm, might there be a reason for those notes finding their way into the ATMs? Shrikant has a probable answer... #SahiBoltaShrikant #RJShrikant #Radio #MH935 #RedFM #Pune #BajaateRaho

In case you haven't realized, we are looking at an impending shortage of candles in the country... With the electricity situation the way it usually is in the summers, candles are a de facto necessity for many families in the country. But wait, there's more! These recent candle-marches have imposed an additional demand in a market with already limited supply! Without these candles, how are we going to spread the light? How are we going to keep the flame alive? Are we going to be plunged into darkness again? Shrikant might have some answers... #SahiBoltaShrikant #RJShrikant #Radio #MH935 #RedFM #Pune #BajaateRaho

A few years ago, when the life of a young, budding physiotherapist was snuffed out, we - the people of India - promised each other that this wouldn't happen again. That history wouldn't repeat itself. But history did repeat itself. In Unnao. In Kathua. Did we not learn? Are we not bothered? If we aren't bothered, then the fact that it doesn't bother us anymore is what bothers Shrikant. Don't miss this one - he's made his thoughts on the subject perfectly clear... #SahiBoltaShrikant #RJShrikant #Radio #MH935 #RedFM #Pune #BajaateRaho

(Apologies for borrowing from a popular series of commercials, but it fits the situation perfectly, don't you think?) There has been a spate of hunger-strikes across the country, you might have heard... Interestingly, the people sitting in these strikes are the very ones who can solve the situation. So, why are they sitting on strike? Shrikant tries to find some answers... #SahiBoltaShrikant #RJShrikant #Radio #MH935 #RedFM #Pune #BajaateRaho

It took twenty years for the justice system to deliver a verdict on the Blackbuck poaching case and the verdict held Salman "Bhaijaan" Khan guilty. He was fined an amount of Rs. 10000/- and sentenced to jail and reactions began flying in from all directions immediately after the verdict was announced. Here's Shrikant's take on the whole saga... #SahiBoltaShrikant #RJShrikant #Radio #MH935 #RedFM #Pune #BajaateRaho PS: This opinion was written/aired before Bhai was released on bail...

The Chief Minister's Office of Maharashtra was recently rocked by allegations that they were consuming more than 18500 cups of chai, everyday. We decided to try and figure out (ha ha) how, and why was all of this tea being consumed... #SahiBoltaShrikant #RJShrikant #Radio #MH935 #RedFM #Pune #BajaateRaho

In the age of #CloudComputing, when it #leaks, it pours... Or at least, that's what we have witnessed over the last few weeks. As if to add to the whole shebang, exam papers have also leaked throwing the entire student community into confusion over their futures... #SahiBoltaShrikant #RJShrikant #Radio #MH935 #RedFM #Pune #BajaateRaho

...to which I say, "Y U DO DIS?!" For some of us, the only way to find a partner for life is if she chooses one of us, don't you know/realise? Don't take that away from us!! :( #SahiBoltaShrikant #RJShrikant #Radio #MH935 #RedFM #Pune #BajaateRaho

We've heard the old adage, "Only a diamond cuts a diamond." It seems to have been taken in a bizarrely literal sense by people in UP who decided to burn 500 quintals of mango-wood, to appease gods and invoke their help in curbing pollution in the state... Yeah, we're (kinda) speechless, too... #SahiBoltaShrikant #RJShrikant #Radio #MH935 #RedFM #Pune #BajaateRaho

Showboating in sport is as old as the concept of sports itself. Athletes around the world often employ uniquely bizarre celebratory 'dances' to convey their joy. The #NaginDance ritual is one such example. However, judging by recent events, the Nagin-dance by a Bangladeshi cricketer probably was a step too far, according to the Sri Lankan cricket team... #SahiBoltaShrikant #RJShrikant #Radio #MH935 #RedFM #Pune #BajaateRaho

A bunch of farmers marched into Mumbai, with the intent to present the government their demands. They could have marched during the day and attracted all the attention they wanted but they chose to march in the night. Why? So that the students appearing for exams could sleep in peace knowing the roads wouldn't be blocked the next day. If only all of humanity were this considerate... #SahiBoltaShrikant #RJShrikant #Radio #MH935 #RedFM #Pune #BajaateRaho

WHO ON EARTH REFUSES A PAY-RAISE?? Canadian Doctors, that's who, apparently... :/ #SahiBoltaShrikant #RJShrikant #Radio #MH935 #RedFM #Pune #BajaateRaho

So, it turns out that our domestic cricketers (you know, Ranji trophy, etc? Yeah, those...) are still yet to receive the money that the BCCI is supposed to pay them. From what I hear, it is quite a good chunk of change and a large portion of the player's incomes... Strange, wasn't there something in the news about the BCCI approving a pay-raise for the seniors, recently? Hmmm.... #SahiBoltaShrikant #RJShrikant #Radio #MH935 #RedFM #Pune #BajaateRaho

When the news of Sridevi-ji's passing broke, almost everyone was shocked. The shock soon gave way to doubt and speculation and from that point on, things took a weird, even ugly, turn. The news coverage around her demise has been quite shocking, to be honest. This "Sahi Bolta Hai!" is aimed at all those people who seem to have forgotten the most important quality all humans (and not just journalists) should always have when dealing with matters of death. Compassion. #SahiBoltaShrikant #RJShrikant #Radio #MH935 #RedFM #Pune #BajaateRaho

First it was 9000 crores. Then another came along, and raised the stakes to 11000 crores. Will the next one raise the bar even further? Will this become a pattern in the future? When and where does this end? So many questions, so few answers... :( #SahiBoltaShrikant #RJShrikant #Radio #MH935 #RedFM #Pune #BajaateRaho

Today, i.e. the 14th of February, is celebrated as the day of love all across the world. However, spreading love seems to be becoming more and more difficult with each passing year. With so many obstacles in its way, will love still manage to conquer all? Or will the cruel hand of fiscal prudence ruthlessly end up clipping love's fragile wings? #SahiBoltaShrikant #RJShrikant #Radio #MH935 #RedFM #Pune #BajaateRaho

The internet never ceases to amaze us. This time, it was in the form of Priya Prakash Varrier, a Malayalam movie actress, who went viral thanks to a scene in her upcoming movie, 'Oru Adaar Love'. Her wink captivated the hearts of millions of Indians. Whether they were searching for someone to spend their 14th Feb with is, as yet, unknown... `#SahiBoltaShrikant #RJShrikant #Radio #MH935 #RedFM #Pune #BajaateRaho

The 2nd ODI between India and South Africa will go down in history as a match in which 'hunger' overpowered the human will to continue... The beginning of the Hunger Games, if you will. Shrikant analyses and finds out the true reason why this bizarre Twist happened... #SahiBoltaShrikant #RJShrikant #Radio #MH935 #RedFM #Pune #BajaateRaho

Every year, when the #UnionBudget 2018 rolls around, a bunch of (mostly self-proclaimed) experts spring up out of nowhere. This year, Shrikant joins the growing number of (such self-proclaimed) experts and attempts to break down the budget by comparing it to the ONE topic everyone can understand: DATING. #SahiBoltaShrikant #RJShrikant #Radio #MH935 #RedFM #Pune #BajaateRaho
