Anna Hazare finally breaks his maun vrat!
Now all eyes on Manmohan Singh to do the same…
P.S. Sonia Gandhi ko publicly last kab kisne bolte suna hai?
P.P.S. Rahul Gandhi kab maun vrat pe ja raha hai?
(And as far as Congress spokespersons are concerned… no that’s asking for a bit too much…)

Tiananmen Square: Mild tremor in China, but massive earthquake outside China.
Tahrir Square: Strong tremor in the long history of Egyptian politics, but a perceived tsunami outside Egypt.
Times Square: Projected as an earthquake, but an extremely mild tremor for the Wall Street bosses.

1. Irresponsibility: Mannu kee?
In school, there are no real responsibilities to think about. You just go about them like a robot. In college, though you’re on your own, it really doesn’t matter. Going late? No problem! No clean clothes to wear? No problem!
No bills to pay, no promises to keep and no miles to go before I sleep—just sleep!
2. Optimism: Hum honge kaamyaab…
In school, I wanted to be Prime Minister of India. When I pass out of college I’m going to be Bill Gates! Why not! Anything is possible! I can top the class this year. Or maybe next year! I can join IIT and IIM. I can launch a company bigger that Microsoft…
The world is my oyster, even if I’ve never eaten an oyster and haven’t the foggiest idea what an oyster looks like!
3. Equality: Just another brick in the wall
In school, everyone looks and acts just the same. In college, with the right attitude, anyone can be a cool dude. You can escape all class distinctions that appear much later in life when everyone seems to have no choice but to keep up with the Joneses.
School=Total Socialism.
Work=Total Capitalism.
4. Economy: Having not much money to spend in the first place
We could really make our money last. It was in short supply and optimized to the hilt.
I remember in school, the equation was…
One ten rupee note = One rice plate + One balcony ticket + One popcorn + One bus ride back home = One day spent like a king.
5. Total time waste: Kee pharak painde?
You can waste all the time in the world in college and still have enough time to waste some more. In contrast, while working, sometimes a minute wasted seems like a horrible tragedy of hours.
Theory of Ageing Relativity: Time passes slowly in childhood and speeds up when you grow up.
Bonus…
Bunking: So easy in college, but just try doing it regularly at work!
Parents: They have the headaches when you’re small and you inherit all of them with compound interest when you grow up.
Choices: In school, you have only once choice: To go to the next class. After passing out of college the poor unsuspecting soul is bombarded with choices of all shapes, sizes and types which continue throughout his or her life…

(So Anna Hazare has written a letter to the government on the issue of corruption and Lokpal after a long time… Anna speaks to the government through this letter… Please sing to the tune of Chitthi aayi hai from Naam…)
Chitthi aayi hai, aayi hai,
Chitthi aayi hai,
Chitthi aayi hai Anna se,
Chitthi aayi hai,
Bade dino ke baad,
Hum bhrastachariyo ko yaad,
Ralegaon Sidhi ki mitti aayi hai,
Chitthi aayi hai…
Upar mera scam likha hai,
Andar ye Anna ka paigham likha hai…
“O Tihar ko jaane waale,
Laut ke phir se aane waale,
FIR, CBI jaanch paar gaya tu,
Desh ko ekdum badnaam kar gaya tu,
Imaandari ke rishte todh gaya tu,
Aankh main aasu chhodh gaya tu,
Kam khaate hain, kam sote hain,
Bahut zyaada hum rote hain.”
Chitthi aayi hai …
“Sooni ho gayi insaaf ki galiyaan,
Kaante ban gayi saare kaliyaan,
Kehte hain Lokpal ke waade,
Yaad kiya main, tum ekdum bhoole,
Lokpal bin jab aaya Swantantrata Diwas,
Aisa laga ki aaya amavasya,
Lokapl bin jab aayi Diwali,
Deep nahin dil jale hain khaali,
Peepal soona panghat soona,
Ghar shamshaan ka bana namoona,
Fasal kati aayi Baisakhi,
Lokpal ka aana raha gaya baaki.”
Par chitthi aayi hai …
“Pehle jab tu khat likhta tha,
Meetings main chehera dikhta tha,
Bandh hua ye mel bhi ab to,
Khatam hua woh khel bhi ab to,
August Kranti manch par jab baitha main,
Beech ka raasta dekh raha tha main,
Main to boodha hu, mera kya hai,
Mere desh ka haal bura hai,
Sab neta log khaate hai mewa,
Desh ki soorat lagti hai bewa,
Tumne paisa bahut hai khaaya,
Is paise ne desh ko marwaya,
Lokpal pinjra todh ke aaja…”
(Original Song: Chitthi aayi hai…
Film: Naam.
Year: 1986)
This Spoof by Sunil Rajguru
The year’s at the winter,
And day’s even at night;
Morning’s a crazy blur at seven;
The hill-side’s heavily polluted;
The children are at their video consoles,
The father is with his Blackberry,
The mother is in cyberspace,
And all’s right with the world…
With due apologies to Pippa Passes

∙ The journey from Kuch Kuch Hota Hai to Ra.One…
Hum ek baar jeete hain, ek baar pyaar karte hain, ek baar shaadi karte hain, aur ek baar se jyaada Ra.One to hargeez nahin dekh sakte!
∙ I think if any of the Three Khans even made a boring documentary, but released it with great hype, then it would make Rs 150 crores in five days before most of the public actually realized what it was all about.
∙ Amitabh Bachchan went all out and sold his brand in the 1990s and resultantly went from Hero to Zero. Only KBC revived him.
SRK is doing the same thing by selling his brand to the hilt…
Some Ra.One wordplay…
Number 1… No 1… No.1… No.One… NoOne… no one…
∙ (Spoiler alert)
SRK has outdone himself cinematically.
In about ten odd movies he has died.
In this one, he dies twice!
In about 5-6 movies, he has played a double role.
Here it’s technically a triple role, (if you count the regenerated G.One at the end!)
Ra.One = Deaths.Two = Roles.Three
