The Great Indian Democracy’s week of Diarrhoea

The coming week will see the biggest democracy in the world hit a new nadir.
The wheeling’s and dealing’s, the winnings’ and dining’s are all happening in the corridors of power to muster up that ever elusive number of 272.
The political equivalents of marriages-for-convenience, divorces, live-in’s, wife swappings are going on, all in pursuit of that magical majority. It’s unfortunate that the most wanted guys in the country who are languishing behind the bars for cases ranging from extortion, rape, murder and kidnapping are also the ‘most wanted’ in parliament on the 22nd of July.
On a lighter note I thought up of a rock/pop version of the situation…here u go…
The left signing ‘We Will, We Will, Rock you’ while Mayawati goes ‘Oops I did it again’ and Mulayam, Amar Singh and co go ‘Brothers in arms’ (no, not the Ambani’s) and happily singing ‘We are the Sultans of swing’ (swinging from one coalition to the other) while the Bihari babus rant ‘We don’t need no education’ and Achumama in Gods own country joining in ‘Hey Teacher, leave the kids alone’ and finally the BJP proudly belting out ‘We didn’t start the fire’

The common man & the 'back street boys' (porambokku passunga) just hope and pray the Great Indian democracy doesn’t end up in ‘Dire Straits’.

Watch this this space for post July 22nd commentary.
