#AAP history repeats itself first as a tragedy and then as a farce…

2013-14…
Media—Behold! Kejriwal is the Messiah!
AAP does well in Delhi polls.
Kejriwal becomes Chief Minister.
Kejriwal implodes, media blasts Kejriwal.

2015…
Media—Behold! Kejriwal is still the Messiah!
AAP does exceedingly well in Delhi polls.
Kejriwal becomes Chief Minister.
Kejriwal-AAP everything totally implodes, media blasts Kejriwal.

2020…
Media—Behold! Forget the past and know that Kejriwal is still the Messiah!
AAP…

AB de Villiers is the greatest T20 batsman in the history of ODI cricket.
Virender Sehwag is the greatest ODI batsman in the history of Test cricket.

How Afridi was selected for 5 World Cups despite flopping miserably…
1999—Baccha hai, seekha jaayega!
2003—Baccha hai, seekha jaayega!
2007—Baccha hai, seekha jaayega!
2011—Baccha hai, seekha jaayega!
2015—Baccha hai, seekha jaayega!
2019—Baccha hai, seekha jaayega!
