This seems confession time all across the world.

A sudden surge of admissions without the fear for admonitions is on air.

2009 started off with Ramalinga Raju giving a true and fair view of his sin accounts at Satyam.

Then we moved to the confession of Mohammad Asif admitting to his drugapades BC and AD of IPL.

Few days back it was former Uttar Pradesh CM Mr. Kalyan Singh demolishing the BJP faith with his confession that “Babri Masjid demolition was a mistake”, waking up 14 long years (Kumpakarna?) and several bomb blasts and terror attack scars later, besides putting the entire internal security on red alert every December 6.  Probably, he was timing the market making a strong investment in the “Vote Bank Unlimited” for the upcoming parliament elections.

Not to be left behind, we had Barrack Obama, the change man, changing the public admission system, wherein, apologies are not tendered immediately but only after considerable damage has been ensured and endured.  He manfully said “Yes, I screwed up” for appointing two tax defaulters to his team.

Bush made a lasting impression before moving out and without beating around the bush, confessed in an interview that “his faith that Iraq had Weapons of Mass Destruction was wrong”.  Unfortunately, he didn’t agree that there was no WMD when the whole world was beating at Bush.  He chose to agree only after several American soldiers and Iraqis last their lives and the several thousand innocent Iraqis life was left to shambles.

What are the other memorable public apologies that comes to my mind?

1. The apology of “The Last Lear” Amitabh Bachan to Maharashtrians because the Shiv Sena decided it won’t tolerate Jaya Bachan preferring to speak in Hindi in a film function

2. The live televised “Oral” apology of Mr. Bill Clinton for his sexcapades with Monica Lewinsky

3. The post “Dogs of War” apology by Mr. V.S. Achuthanandan post 26/11 life sacrifice of Maj. Sandeep Unnikrishnan

4. The apologies of the former Chief Minister and former Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra for trivialising the 26/11 terror attacks and the Taj Hotel excursion tour conducted for Ram Gopal Verma

5. The confessions of the lone captured terrorist Kasab that he is indeed a Pakistani

6. The confessions (and somersaults) of the Pakistani Government and officials on terror farming in Pakistan (who said they only have Basmati Rice farms?)

7. The “I am sorry” of Superstar Rajinikant to Karnataka people after saying “odhaikka vendaama” in a hunger strike meeting Tamil cinema actors in support of Hogenakkal water project, just to ensure that the “Kuchelan” producers do not become “Kuchelas” but “Kuberas”.

8. The “Sorry, but I didn’t say sorry (to Karnataka)” to Tamils by the same superstar

9. The “Sorry, don’t take me seriously, I only spoke what the dialogue writers wrote” dialogue of the same Superstar in the Kuchelan movie in which he acted as himself (!)

10. The “Sorry, for that dialogue in 9 above” again spoken by the Superstar to his fans after a section of them felt disappointed at their Thalaivar’s dialogue in the Kuchelan movie.

11. The apology of Congress Government to Hindus, for swearing in an affidavit to the Hon’ble Supreme Court (Sethu Samudram Project) that “Lord Ram was a fictional character”

12. The confession of Michael Phelps that he not only swam on water but also on land by hallucinating

If I missed any, use the comments feature below this post to record the same.

I do not want to be left behind.  Assuming that this doesn’t become an apology for a blog post, I apologize to all the people mentioned above for making their confessions and apologies digital and immortal, true to the signature line of this blog “getting immortal on the fly”.

On the other hand, if you think that this post IS an apology for a good blog post, send your apologies to me for thinking so….. use the contact form or just post your apology in the comments area.

Now for some apologies that were never tendered:

1. From the guy who hurled his shoes at George W. Bush

2. From the Sriram Sena for the cultural policing

3. From the Shiv Sena for beating Biharis aways

4. From the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister for calling Lord Ram a drunkard and questioning if Lord Ram studied Engineering for construting the “Ram Sethu”

5. From the many Indian film directors for churning out countless number of garbage as “different type of film”

6. From the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board for not ensuring uninterrupted supply of electricity to the citizens of the state

7. From Congress government and the supporting parties for not giving a second term to the people’s President Abdul Kalam

8. From the Indian Government to the medal winning Indian boxers for not recognizing their achievements with Padma awards

9. From IPL shark Lalit Modi for trying to boss over all cricket played anywhere in India including gully cricket and banning anyone other than those playing for BCCI and anyone who wants to play with those banned by BCCI

10. From the Investment Analysts and Experts who failed to say to investors “Yes! we screwed up recommending junk scrips to you even when the markets were falling”

11. From the Mutual Fund Damagers who failed to tell investors “Yes! we screwed up with your retirement plans”

12. From the millions of “I consider my self intelligent than you” husbands who failed to tell their (respective) wives, “I (also) screwed up our savings and have also built up debts”

13. From the Wall Street hanchos who failed to tell investors around the world “We are sorry”we pulled you down alongwith us”

14. From the rating agencies who failed to tell all world, from the top of Mount Everest , “We are sorry, we accept that we are junk rate”

15. From Andrew Symonds to Deccan Chargers for not performing well despite getting a fat sum for his enrollment with the said team

16. From the general public to themselves (standing in front of the mirror) for abetting corruption despite crying hoarse about corruption in the Government.  Many of them openly take a bribe to vote for a particular political party.
