Designer Diplomacy

The curtain rises.

The headline and photos on the front page interview of a reputed national daily catches our psychopath reader's attention.

Tete-a-Tete With Designer Darling HRK

Reporter: Ms Hina, Welcome to India! Thanks for taking out your precious time to talk to us. How do you find our country?

HRK: It feel good!

R: Visiting Hurriyat leadership was high on your agenda, how did the meeting go?

HRK: Oh, family reunions are always fun and nostalgia, wish I visit Kashmir, they told it is very beautiful; India obsessed with beauty, that's why want to control.

R: M'am, you are the first politician to trend on twitter for your style statement, what is your reaction to our people's reaction to you?

HRK: I very happy, they are notice, I put in so much of efforts.

R: Can you please give details your efforts, I am sure our politicians would be happy to follow. Till now, many of them don saris worth a few lakhs every day, but no one seems to notice!

HRK: It is different, my other leaders threaten and bargain with big brothers to get some allowances and we given some. Don't you say better spend on pearls than grenades! And you know, my grandmother opened best secret to me, pearls, clothes and bags are contrasted, don't coordinated.

R: Well said M'am. You reminded us of Maharani Gayatri Devi who was discussed for her style statement. During an interview, she had also disclosed that the most important teaching of her grandmother was that never wear emeralds with green sari because they look much better with a pink sari. There is so much of similarity between the people of these two countries! And look at the similarity in names, we are proud of SRK, Pakistan is proud of HRK.

HRK: You talk about him, I hear he is production house owner. Do you think I can contact him for a Bollywood film, I hear it is lot of moneys.

R: Given your popularity, I am sure he will become the richest producer if he gets an opportunity to cast you. Your message would be duly passed on to him.

HRK: I want to be heroine, but no one in my family gone to college, only I gone, they made rule only college educated fight elections and I had to fight to save our family wealth.

R: Wish India could learn at least this from Pakistan, only college educated fight elections! You are so young, how do you manage to take important decisions on foreign policy which is so important for any country, especially Pakistan.

HRK: It is easy, I have an 'Army' of advisers to help in politics work.

R: We hope that this bilateral exchange between our countries continues in the right direction and we get to see you in India more often. Till then, true to your name, memories of your first visit will keep on dyeing our thoughts. 

The psychopath is left scratching head trying to discover diplomacy in this designer discussion.

Role Model

A month before the common man found an effective channel to vent out his anger and frustration at the governing system infested with corruption, I happened to travel to a far off place. Name does not matter to me anymore as I am optimistic about coming across more places like this. This place has a couple of structures of historical and architectural importance lying in a state of somewhat neglect for lack of funds. I would not have gone to this place for getting a mere look these structures but since I happened to be there, I thought it fit to pay a fleeting visit to these structures.

The first one is a palace, very thoughtfully built few centuries back. Now, it stands very carefully renovated with betel-juice paint, graffiti, pee and pigeon nests. Being very well lit and ventilated, the after effects of renovation do not suffocate me and I decide to quickly hop around. The curator is delighted that after a long time, someone with intentions not malicious entered the property. So he enthusiastically takes me around. On inquiring about the second structure, the big, circular underground bath or  the 'gol bawari', he is even more delighted and calls up the curator there to inform him about my impending visit. Then he explains that the structure is kept locked to prevent nuisance mongers from mutilating it.

The curator at the bath is a very friendly uncle. Sheer happiness is visible from his face as he takes me around and explains the working of the elaborate system of yesteryear. I am aware that he has come  all the way from his home in the afternoon sun for me. Purely based on previous conditioning to handle such situations, I feel obliged to reward him. This obligation is partly because of my host's genteel nature and partly because I believe that he would be expecting it and would feel highly disappointed if I leave without tipping him. As we come out, I take out a hundred rupee note and offer it to him saying, "Uncle, please have some tea."

I was not prepared for what happened next. He refused it very graciously with folded hands. I insisted. He said, "Sir, it is not needed, God has provided me everything. I got a chance to show you around, what could have been a bigger reward!" My head hung in shame in front of this man who could not  think of justifying greed with the burden of a daughter's marriage or son's education.

Looking at the swinging corn ears and the distant hillocks on my way back, I could not help humming these lines...

निकृति की अग्नि से जलते हुए मन को, मिल जाये ईमान की छाया, 

ऐसा ही सुख मेरे मन को मिला है, मैंने जब से परिचय तेरा पाया |

Anna Ki Chetavani

Inspired by an apt observation (from Dinkar's epic conversation) on government's initial reaction to Anna's fast...

अन्ना की चेतावनी 

वर्षों तक प्रदेश में घूम घूम,  सरकारी विघ्न को चूम चूम,

सह चोरी महंगाई भ्रष्टाचार, अन्ना को यह आया विचार,

बेईमान न हर दिन चलता है, देखें क्या हल निकलता है;

उन्नति की राह दिखाने को, सरकार सुमार्ग पर लाने को,

मनमोहन  को समझाने को, भीषण अपकर्ष बचाने को,

अन्ना जी राजधानी आए, जनता का संदेशा लाये|

हो न्याय अगर तो लोकपाल दो, पर इसमें भी यदि बवाल हो,

तो कर दो केवल पाँच परिवर्तन, पाओ अपने बिल का समर्थन,

हम वहीँ संतुष्ट हो जायेंगे, सरकार से विरोध न जताएंगे;

मनमोहन वह भी दे ना सका, आशीष देश की न ले सका,

उलटे अन्ना को बाँधने चला, जो था असाध्य साधने चला,

जब नाश मनुज पर छाता है, पहले विवेक मर जाता है|

अन्ना ने जेल स्वीकार करी, नव क्रांति की हुंकार भरी,

डगमग डगमग दिग्गज डोले, अन्ना कुपित हो कर बोले,

अन्दर रख कर साध मुझे , हां हां मनमोहन बांध मुझे;

ये देख गगन मुझमे लय है, ये देख पवन मुझमे लय है,

मुझमे विलीन भारतीयता सकल, मुझमे लय तरुण सकल,

ईमान फूलता है मुझमे, बलिदान फूलता है मुझमे|

त्रस्त नागरिक की चाल देख, अपनी सरकार का काल देख,

हित वचन नहीं तुने माना, जनता का मूल्य न पहचाना,

तो ले मैं भी अब जाता हूँ, अंतिम संकल्प सुनाता हूँ;

याचना नहीं अब प्रदर्शन होगा, जीवन भू को समर्पण होगा,

समक्ष वतन एकीकृत होगा, न और सहय भ्रष्टाचार होगा,

भ्रष्ट राजनीतिज्ञ सर्वनाश देखेगा, जनता का जीवन सुधरेगा|

लोग कर का हिसाब मांगेगे, पारदर्शकता, स्फूर्ति मांगेगे, 

सब पर जांच का शिकंजा होगा, मंत्री विशेष न उन्मुक्त होगा;

मनमोहन प्रदर्शन ऐसा होगा, फिर कभी नहीं जैसा होगा,

आखिर तू भूशायी होगा, भ्रष्टाचार का अनुयायी होगा;

थी सभा सन्न, सब नेता डरे, चुप थे या थे नीचे गिरे,

केवल दो नर न अघाते थे, परदेस का जो सुख पाते थे|
