Once Upon a Time in Gujarat(Indian Desperado-2)

Well this is not about a bollywood remake of a Hollywood flick but a show that's more dramatic than it could be.The first part of this series was released in 2002 and now we have the sequel coming up.And who plays the desperado ,well none other than our Mr. modi dancing to the tunes of "parde mein rehne do".Gujarat is in the news again for the so called "wrong reasons" and entire world around me seems to go gaga over this entire episode . I don't understand why.Why are people trying plough the barren fields once again when we all know that it wouldn't matter finally!!!

Who is the winner and who is the loser?The contestants are- Mr. Modi , the "unconventional" gujarat janta still awaiting justice(well Indians are know for their patience),the go getter Media or the opposition of the ruling party in the state.The Quake has rocked again though its intensity could not be measured on a Richter scale but a "victor scale" . Well, this scale was actually devised by Mr. Modi and is now used all over Gujarat. It's based on the theory of resilience.If am allowed to explain it a bit further then it something like this.

It's somewhat like a life cycle - you can say life cycle of gujarat politics(yeah I know the only Life cycle that we software junta know these days is the SDLC). Mr. Modi would give a blink of an eye no matter how hard the media and opposition (I don't mean they are correlated) would try to dig the old graves buried in 2002.If a little is to be believed on the hearsay and the past statistics , Mr. Modi is all set to have the final laugh.According to his supporters , these "trivial" issues would only help him to buttress his position in the state in the forthcoming elections.

The next are the people of Gujarat who would re-elect Mr. Modi and prove that they are really "unconventional".Actually in my opinion , they think of Mr. Modi as a combo package of Brahma ,vishnu and Shiva - the creator, the provisioner and the destroyer all in one.No matter how painful the wounds of 2002 are for them , they would bear it all .

The Media doesn't care if a couple of channels are blackened for 2 weeks after airing the sting clippings. The sky soaring TRPs for the next 2 weeks are more than what they could have asked for.Mr. Tarun tejpal , a seasoned campaigner knows his way ,so it doesn't matter as long as the cow is getting milked and making a tehelka.

The opposition in Gujarat wouldn't give up with the " fight until last breath" attitude.They would again get hold of a rat in the government and find another hole in the wall. But does it really matter when Mr. Modi's masons would fill the hole again.For them it doesn't . They would still try again.

Resilience , Resilience and Resilience .The prey becomes the predator and the predator becomes the prey.But who would be affected by all this at the end of the day.No One.I can't see through the woods but the sky looks clear and this is just a passing cloud.It would thunder a lot but wouldn't pour.Rest be assured.

no offences meant none taken
