When you are deciding the future
of a billion people in a nation where the mind is full of fear, and you have to
choose between pappu and pheku where would you put your money or whatever is
left of it? Detractors of pappu have made a big song and dance about the lack
of experience saying Pappu cant dance saala, but I would remind them of the
wise words of perceptive prognosis from the angry -once young- man who offered
you sweets to proclaim Pappu pass ho gaya!
Pheku can project himself and his
apparition in 3D and Imax 3D all day, but pray what will happen if pheku has to
solve our boundary disputes or even go and get the marines back from Italy to
stand extended trial in our esteemed court. He can’t even discuss the weather
in a conference on climate control. He doesn’t have a visa!!! A Master Card may
be, but no VISA! Our long forgotten patriot brethren on foreign soil will
emerge like a phoenix to deny him that with a flash flood of signatures. After all, they have been following the
entire progress of pheku on twitter and facebook and with their brilliant
intellectual capabilities have been able to denounce the few million desi’s who
could have been easily misled due to their native ignorance. And the guardians of our nation’s conscience
who religiously take part in our Independence Day parades on Fifth Avenue and watch our nation’s
progress on the television will ensure that the ignorant natives are set right.
And do we need such a leader who
is domestically sequestered while his entire cabinet is globe trotting? We have
long suffered in silence at a silent PM, now do we need to feel sorry for a
Home Alone PM?
But the clincher for Pappu is in
our filmy history. When the pheku rattles out facts and figures, thumping his
chest and thundering, Mere state main development hain, progress hain,
investments hain, Mere paas experience hai, tumhare paas kya hai, all pappu has
to say to elicit a collective sigh from the billions and make them bite the
ballot is to reply “Mere Paas Maa hain”.
