                        INTO THE PAST WITH PAIN….288

                               Dr K Prabhakar Rao

(Gandhi, Patel and Nehru are seen walking on a street in Ahmedabad )

Gandhi. Patel, Have you seen? The city looks new and developed. I see great changes here.

Nehru. There will be changes in other parts of country too.

Gandhi. Could be. But here things appear different. It looks great developments have taken place.

Nehru. I f some one visits a place after long time things will look new.

Gandhi. No. It is not like that. Who is the CM here?

Patel. Who else can be. It is Naredra Modiji. He has dome wonders here.

Gandhi. I hear that the  rulers in Delhi do not leave any day without passing adverse comment against him.

Patel. There will be some paid characters for such jobs.

Gandhi. I learnt that in recent state elections  Modiji has trounced  congress party. They were bull dozed. Haa.. Haa..

Nehru. What is there to laugh?

Gandhi. Relax Jawaharlal. Please learn to swallow some un happy truths too. It is not always your day. Things are changing. People are no more  acting like dud asses. Theya re using brains too.

Patel. The days  of Gandhi name are disappearing. People want the guys who can do some thing for them.

Gandhi. In these elections Rahul Baba was made the leader of campaigns in Gujrat and his mentors Dr MMS and Madam too toured the state and did all the best to boost up thre prince. They failed to read on the wall.

Patel. Hoo..hoo.. They were white washed thoroughly. They do not know what to do. They sang Ram bhajan and went back to Delhi

Gandhi. Now great changes can take place in national politics too.

Patel. True. Congress party is trying desperately to hand over country to the prince some how.

Gandhi. Is it easy. Days have changed. People can not be fooled as done earlier.

Nehru. Bapu. Do you mean that they were fooled earlier?

Patel. Then what? They have woken up know.

Gandhi. I read in a news paper that Rahul Babap is not interested in becoming the PM. He evades questions.

Patel. That is up to him. He knows his abilities and potentials. He also recently they he became leader by virtue of his genes. Poor guy indeed.

Nehru. You guys appear to be biased.

Gandhi.  Why should we be like that?. We are telling truths. Jawaharlal. It is not always the same. Changes do occur.  You had enough enjoyment .Let others also have.This is democracy hai.  Any one can become the PM.

Patel. Bapu, but in Congress things are different.

Nehru. It is enough for me. I am going. I  can not listen to this stuff.

Patel. What will you do if in next elections if Baba can not become the PM.  Cant you sense the winds? Modi is emerging very strong day by day.

Nehru. Let us wait and see.

Patel. Keep watching.

Gandhi. Ohfo. I forgot about it. What happened to the trial of Delhi criminals of gang rape? I am not hearing any thing .

Patel. True. People have forgotten about it.

Gandhi. Poor girl is no more. I heard the main accused is dead in Tihar jail. I wsa told that he hanged himself.

Patel. Others are in jail. All is quiet. This is India. Trial will go on. Law will take its own course. Like Bofors case it will go on and go on..

Gandhi. Haa.  Haa. Nice comparison of cases and delays. In Bofors case all big shots were involved. But in this case common youth and criminals are involved. Why they are taking so much time for trial,

Patel. This is usual India way. They will drag on and drag on.  Fill up  lakhs of pages.  Feed the criminals for many years

Gandhi. Then what will happen?

Patel. Even if the guys are given death  sentenses,  the decision will keep pending. By this time President will change. Mr Mukherjee sahib will go and some other guy will  be in the chair. He will sit on the files again for many  years like a fowl sits on the eggs.

Gandhi. Haa.. Haa. Good  joke

Nehru. Bapu. You guys are making mockery of the nation.

Patel. Relax , Jawaharlal. He is not making mockery at things. He is telling naked fcats. It is difficult to digest things for you. Take it easy biy.

Gandhi.  OK Guys. It is getting dark. Let us go soon.
