*clears throat*
Today,Ladies and Gentlemen,is the 64th Republic Day of India...the day when the constitution of India came into force.And yes,we celebrate that.
And in honour of this wonderful day...blah,who am I kidding?!
*back to gangsta*
Yo peepulz,I have this awesome guest-post by Stutee Nag of Stu(art) who wrote me this phatang(roughly means bombshell) post.
Okay,Introduction time,This chick ain't taking no mess from anyone.She's honest.And bold.And crazy....and my long-lost twin(seriously,you wouldn't believe the number of times I've sat gaping at her blog with what appear to be my thoughts written on it!)
And one of my earliest bloggy friends.And you need to go check her...ahem,her blog, out.
So without further ado,Presenting...
‘India is my beloved
country and All Indians are my brothers and sisters’ I used to pledge in
school and then promptly add ‘except for one’ under my breath, only to laugh later for a
good ten seconds at the funniest joke known to me at that time.
It was real fun - Pledging that way!
But hey, hold your horses. Before you get all
judgemental about me, let me clear the air. That was then, I have grown up now
and I kid you not, I love India. I might not pledge it every day but hell yeah, I am one proud Indian. And just like you, I associate myself
with everything that India feels great about or ahem (gulp- gulp) vice versa (Gang rapes, never ending corruption, Honour Killings
etc etc – to name a few.)
2012 ended in a sombre unison. Finally India reflected
on its ways and learnt a lesson or two, the hard way of course. They said the
world was going to end in 2012 and I was like, yeah right- because God is just
that kind. But we did hit a virtual end – didn't we? The
lowest of lows were reached and that too khullam khulla.
Okay- enough- I know a lot has been said, written
and heard in that regard and since no cribbing happens to be my resolution for the year 2013, so let me just
skip past to something happy.
Let’s think happy- Ummmmm....ummmm.....
Rahul Gandhi – Tada!
(Because what’s happier than the
happy ending of the tale of the dynastic prince of the world’s largest democracy ;-) Ironically, this may be the saddest
thing I have heard since the unfortunate gang rape episode. Oh no, don’t get me wrong - I am not criticizing Rahul Gandhi. Poor chap, he has already earned more flak than Poonam Pandey.
(It is the idea of him that I am criticizing. The
idea of someone being crowned the virtual king of the ruling party- even though
all he had in the name of credentials – was the GANDHI DNA)
He may be a wonderful person (no denying- charming, that he is) - all I am
against is this eyewash that us Indians are subjected to in the name of big
words like democracy, republic, aam aadmi etc etc.
My point is, call India the princely state of Rahul
Gandhi and we are good to go- why the Constitution? Why the Rule of law? Why
the whole Dog and Pony show? Those of us studying law will pass the course
just like that.
This is how our judiciary exam’s question paper should look like:
Q.1 - Who is the King of India?
Ans.1 - Rahul Gandhi
Bam! 100/100 – there’s your degree, young man. Go serve the nation now. (Read:
Kingdom) Long live the king. Hail Rahul!
It’s a good Idea. Innit? I mean, why slug our asses for
all those years – learning the
constitution of India (which is by the way the lengthiest in the world)- when a
one word answer can get all our problems solved – When, no matter
what, everything boils down to the shitty ground reality.The truth of the Modern day Raj.
‘So what? Let them turn the Gandhis into the present day Royalty
of India – hell, if they want
they can build Maharaja Rahul his own Taj Mahal – I couldn't care
less. Let the elections come and I will not vote for the mamma's boy and then
the joke will be on them,’ I console myself.
‘I will vote for Narinder Modi instead.’
Oh Dear Lord – is this what it
feels like to be caught between a rock and a hard place.
Should I get back to Rahul only?
Shit, am I cribbing again?
Hey, wait a second.... I think, I am losing it – I may be going crazy
here- there is darkness all around me- i am seeing black dots- is this a
condition or a symptom? Black dots every where.. BIG BLACK DOTS- and I am getting
claustrophobic too.. No, no, wait- where are you going- don’t leave me alone...
BACK TO HAPPY – BACK TO HAPPY

I am bananas over my republic.
Hey, Happy Republic Day, by the way!
Yeah, I know Stu(art), I mean I'm following her blog.
ReplyDeleteSo rightly said.
I too go bananas over the republic.
And Happy Republic Day. :)
Wow. I feel like I missed something incredibly significant, because of my lack of understanding regarding... Indian government stuff o.o But somehow, I found it amusing anyway :P
ReplyDeleteI love the 'phatang!' part. And the 'khullam khulla'. :P
ReplyDeleteWell if there's still some kind of election going to happen to declare if this guy is the supreme emperor king then you could always vote for the other guy. But try and take what both of them (or all of them) offer before voting. Don't not vote for a guy just because of who he is or how other people treat him, think on what he can actually do. Then forget everything because he's probably been lying.
ReplyDeleteWell anyway, I do like India myself actually. You guys have a very rich history and mythos. I loved learning Indian myths as a kid and it's a shame I don't really remember any of them :( India has some downsides, sure, but I think things are beginning to change and hopefully they'll continue to change.
Happy Republic day.
P.S sorry about the whole British empire thing.
@ Ajay, Good for you!And yes,Happy Republic Day!:)
ReplyDelete@ LnM, You didn't miss much with regard to the Government(the current one of course,sue me ministers),other than a ton of corruption and drama and stupid decisions and a lot of faked patriotism.But yeah, Indian History is pretty cool.But glad you liked the post!:)
@ Nasir, Who doesn't??!...;)
@ Mark, Hopefully,they'll have the no-party option in place by the time the next election rolls around(my very first vote!) so we have the full right to reject candidates we don't like.I suppose that's how it is in the UK.And you needn't be sorry about the British empire part,not your fault!:)
Happy Republic Day Fella'!
ReplyDeleteGlad we made it 64 years without turblance.
The post of your friend was worth it too! :D
Happy Republic day to you as well... :D
ReplyDeleteHappy Republic Day! :D
ReplyDelete@ The Purple Assassin, Totally glad mate...but not exactly turbulence free!Thanks.:)
ReplyDelete@ Zeba & Momina, To you too.Thanks.:)
Happy Republic day :)
