I had earlier blogged of how N Jayakumar of Prime Securities is in trouble.
Today’s ET has a cover story of how some of the clients of Prime Securities have filed a FIR against him.
Now, what is amusing is the twitter timeline of Jakes
In his tweets, there is no mention of the various troubles he is going thru.Instead, his tweets talk about cricket etc.
I am reminded of this great song from Chicago-Razzle Dazzle
The lyrics are simply wonderful
Give ’em the old razzle dazzle
Razzle Dazzle ’em
Give ’em an act with lots of flash in it
And the reaction will be passionate
Give ’em the old hocus pocus
Bead and feather ’em
How can they see with sequins in their eyes?
What if your hinges all are rusting?What if, in fact, you’re just disgusting?
Razzle dazzle ’em And they;ll never catch wise!
Give ’em the old Razzle Dazzle
BILLY AND COMPANY
Razzle dazzle ’em
Give ’em a show that’s so splendiferous
BILLY Row after row will grow vociferous
BILLY AND COMPANYGive ’em the old flim flam
flummox Fool and fracture ’em
How can they hear the truth above the roar?
COMPANY Roar, roar, roar!
BILLY AND COMPANY Throw ’em a fake and a finagle They’ll never know you’re just a bagel,
Razzle dazzle ’em
And they’ll beg you for more!
Give ’em the old double whammyDaze and dizzy ’em
Back since the days of old Methuselah Everyone loves the big bambooz-a-lah
Give ’em the old three ring circus Stun and stagger ’em When you’re in trouble, go into your dance
Though you are stiffer than a girderThey’ll let you get away with murder
Razzle dazzle ’em And you’ve got a romance
Give ’em the old Razzle Dazzle
Give ’em the old Razzle DazzleRazzle dazzle ’em
Show ’em the first rate sorcerer you are
Long as you keep ’em way off balance
How can they spot you’ve got no talents?
Razzle Dazzle ’em
Razzle Dazzle ’em Razzle Dazzle ’em
And they’ll make you a star!
