More Rahul Gandhi prime ministerial musings…

· Nehru: 1947. Indira: 1966. Rajiv: 1984. Sonia: 2004.
A new dynasty member comes to power roughly every 19 years.
So here’s hoping Rahul comes not before 2023!

· Rahul Gandhi cannot even hope to be be the greatest Rahul ever.
(Dravid and RD Burman fans may agree.)

· Some said that Rahul Gandhi’s speech was his Obama moment.
Let him become PM and then he’ll have more George W Bush moments than Bush himself.

· Rahul Gandhi will definitely save the Congress. 100%.
That he will destroy India is another matter altogether.

· An Abhishek Bachchan movie, 2004: After 15 flops, he finally delivers a hit!
A Rahul Gandhi speech, 2013: After 15 flops, he finally delivers a hit!
P.S. You only get one chance in life, unless you’re part of an Indian dynasty.

Strange co-incidences of the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty…

After Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, members of the ruling Nehru-Gandhi dynasty were born on different days of the week…

Indira Gandhi… November 19, 1917… Monday.

Raihan Vadra… August 29, 2000… Tuesday.

Priyanka Vadra… January 12, 1972… Wednesday.

Feroze Gandhi… September 12, 1912… Thursday.

Rahul  Gandhi… June 19, 1970… Friday.

Sanjay Gandhi… December 14, 1946… Saturday.

Rajiv Gandhi… August 20, 1944… Sunday!

Interestingly, Feroze, Indira, Sanjay and Rajiv all died on different days too!

The world is full of such co-incidences, though no-one quite knows what they mean.

(Note: Feroze and Indira’s two sons were Rajiv and Sanjay. Rajiv’s two children are Rahul and Priyanka. Raihan is Priyanka’s eldest child. Rahul is unmarried.)
