Some sample ballot papers…

If you live in the most populous state of India:
Vote for…

1. A party whose leader is busy building statues in her image and receiving garlands worth crores of Rupees.
2. A party whose leader doesn’t know what governance is and believes Romeos will whistle at Women MPs.
3. A party which knocked down a religious structure and then went on to decimate its own party leadership.
4. A party which used to bag 100% Lok Sabha seats in the State; which gave the country a few PMs and yet hardly did any development in its decades of rule.

If you live in the State that houses the financial capital of India:

If you live in the most intellectual state of India:
Vote for…

1. A party which has been ruling for decades and hardly has any development to show for it and who’s muscle power is more visible than anything else.
2. A party whose leader is the ultimate agitator and one feels will just agitate and not govern or rule if it comes to power.
3. A party which unleashed such violence in the sixties and seventies that people still do not want to touch it with a bargepole.
4. A party which has a marginal presence in this part of the country and who’s ideology no-one can identify with.

Sometimes I wonder…

We all know that all our politicians are worth hundreds of crores.
Yet when they flaunt a few crores, we get rattled.

We all know that all our politicians are corrupt, which is a crime, hence they are all criminals.
But only the chargesheeted ones upset us.

We all frown on nepotism in every walk of life.
Yet one family has been ruling this country for more than half of its Independent existence and we know and accept that another sonrise is due.

If we meet 90% of our work targets, then we feel really bad.
But if politicians even meet 10% of their targets, we get very happy.

Who let the bees out?

Very recently, there was a political rally in Mysore which was attacked by bees.

Please read to the tune of the Baha Men song Who Let the Dogs Out

Who let the bees out? (Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz)
Who let the bees out? (Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz)

When the rally was nice, the politicians were jumpin’ (Hey-yippie-yi-yo)
And everybody havin’ a ball (Hah-ho-yippie-yi-yo)
Someone told the fellas “start the fire smokin” (Yippie-yi-yo)
And the police report to call that the poor beehive is down

Who let the bees out? (Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz)
Who let the bees out? (Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz)

I see ya’ little speedy bees head up our coast
They really gotta step down
Get back off me, beast off me
Get back you bumbling buzzing monster

Who let the bees out? (Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz)
Who let the bees out? (Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz)

Wait for y’all the bees, the FIR is on
They gotta get the queenbee the cops got their mind on
Do you see the conspiracy theories comin’ from every eye
What could you be thinking fiend
By breakin’ that poor beehive down?

Who let the bees out? (Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz)
Who let the bees out? (Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz)

Overheard… online chapter

• Father: No news of him. He just fell off the Face of the Earth.
Son: No news of him. He just fell off Facebook.

• Today I’ve been feeling really lonely… like I’m the only person on Earth.
Maybe you should see a doctor.
Nah! I’ll be fine tomorrow. My Internet connection is down today.

• Dad…
…when we die, does our soul go to cyberspace?
…did people interact with each other before there were social networking sites?
…if they unleash a virus, then will there be a virtual famine in Farmville?
