Now I am sure I took the right decision when I rejected to head a delegation of my previous company for an IT cultural meet some years back. I was bang on target when I didn't endorsed the idea of being an ambassador if not the brand of my company. Never sure who might have taken what short of objection to share a dais with me or worse even dropping my name from the participants list. Thankfully I somehow managed to save myself from some embarrassment and for all those hypothetical characters who might not have fancied me being an ambassador for my company and sitting beside them, maligning their reputation, value and all together their existence.
Modi & Bachhan Vs Gujurat
Mango Man
Thanks to R.K.Laxman for giving some much needed identity to the Mango Man (Aam Admi), through his caricature. His effortless endeavour over last five decades finally brought this not so important individual into various spectrum's of Politics, Policies, day-to-day hassles and in some bandwidth of latest technology as Twitter, Orkut .
Kick Boxing Ministers
When Vijender Sing won a Bronze medal in last Olympics, he made a somewhat unknown sports in India, popular overnight. Youths suddenly got exited by this new sports and paid their rich tribute to Mr.Sing for bringing in some glory back home from Beijing. Along with the youth few of our politicians got exited in the process and thought of taking this sports seriously on their professional life. Some high end babus also joined the bandwagon in paying tribute to Mr.Sing in their own way. Mr.Sing might just be thinking: hell I really did encouraged too many people for this sports. Thankfully none yet has shown that much enthusiasm towards Abhinav Bindra's achievement.
See-Evil Servants
Thank God Subhash Chandra Bose did gave a lesson or two on patriotism to the interviewer sitting across during the ICS (Now IAS) exam and threw away the opportunity which many won't. Or else Mr.Bose won't have been one Netaji and India might not have got a brave son like him. Instead he would have been busy taking up a huge cabin space in any state secretariat or worse in some places like Shastri Bhawan and would be planning on how to gulp down few crores of Tax Payers money, without even cared to bother about Hajmola .
Swayambar of Comedy
Saint Valmiki must be turning in his grave and cursing himself on why he choose a Swayambar to be the litmus test for all the prospective candidates to get married to Sita. He could have chosen a simple arranged marriage, or worse a love marriage could have done. But why a Swayambar, why?. He must also be contemplating the idea of getting out of his grave and rewriting that particular part of the epic all over again. His own idea of showing the world on the very fact that at that time even girls were given the freedom to choose whom they want to marry, without any restriction or parental pressure and the prevailing women liberty, has definitely been made a mockery off late on idiot box. Thanks to one private entertainment channel which left no stones unturned in giving Valmiki some sleepless nights in his grave along with giving us a suspicion on, if actually passing the Swayambar by lord Ram through lifting the Siv Dhanu well above his head when other participants failed to move it even an inch including guys like mighty Ravana, is actually an act of bravery or not.
Maya Memsahab
When the last time I was around Luckhnow, the first thing I requested my brother in law, who was waiting outside the Luckhnow airport (I call this an airport only because the authorities say so or else it's no better than a village railway station), to take me to the historical and holly place where Ms.Mayawati along with her purse and the messiah of the dalits Mr.Kansiram honoring the podium with bigger than life size statues. No mention needed that I also wanted to see those hundreds of life size elephants cordoning the dalit Chief Minister. To hell with Tunde's Kebabs or Abadh's Biriyani, this the first place I want to pay my visit, I persisted with him. If I say I was spell bound, after my holy visit to the holy place and seeing the lady goddess standing their with her purse and the thousand of cores of Tax payers money wasted on this nonsense, where basic amenity for the UPwallas is a distant dream, then it would definitely be an under statement.
The garland was made of thousand rupee notes. At first I thought this can't be true. I am ready to believe that Jesus Christ died of over drinking but not this. The ever vigilant journalist loitering around the stage confirmed that, from the look and size of it, the cost of the garland won't be any less than 1 crore at least. When 60% of UP population might not have heard of 1000 rupee currency, how it looks and feels, let alone having one in their hand this garland of currency is definitely a huge disjoint on the faces of all those dalits, maximum of which are there to have a decent free meal for once. For once I am not going to talk about the law and order situation in UP. Least be talked about it is better. You don't need any better example than Azamgarh or Gorakhpur.
Non State Actors
Can this be introduced as a single word in Oxford dictionary along with coveting Asif Ali Zardari in a grand function for coining it and also announcing it as a watershed event and the second best thing that could have happened to mankind after the discovery of zero? What Mr. 10% wanted to elaborate through this not so long phrase. Does he wanted to mean that all those who don't act for the state are Non State Actors? Does Pakistan state has a production house? Are all those moviewalas fall into this category as they act in movies but not for the state. Is Mr. Sharukh Khan also a Non State Actor of India? Am I also a double Non State Actor as I neither act in movies nor for the state? No wonder this very firey phrase put all our ministers in a jittery along with the Sarkar as a whole. Not entirely because of the context on which it was phrased but the Babus up in the food chain had to mow down few tons of dictionaries to figure out the meaning being closest and best suited.
I am not that sure if Mr.Salman Basir acts for Pakistan or not either. So conclusively Mrs.Rao is a Non State Actor while on benefit of doubts Mr.Basir is a State Actor. Came out the result of the group discussion. For the benefit of all those hapless chaps and all Indians in larger context our ministry of external affairs should ask for a list of all the State Actors of Pakistan, which I believe won't be too long. This would solve two problems. First, we would have a clear idea of all those in Pakistan's acting fraternity and secondly would help group discussions to zero in on all the Basirs and their acting stature, of the other end, so that none is given any benifit of doubt. Now this suggestion of mine, if implemented, could be another watershed event and might be the 3rd best thing happening to India, if not the mankind.
