My great great grandfather built the foundations of Independent India.
My great grandfather built the first floor.
My grandmother built the second floor.
My father built the third floor.
My mother maintained that floor quite nicely.
As for me, I think I’ll just relax on the terrace!

Once you join the Congress party in India, you have absolutely no choice but to serve the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty and not the party.
Please read to the tune of Gotta Serve Somebody by Bob Dylan…
You may be a PhD from England or France,
You may like to gamble, you might like to dance,
You may be the political heavyweight champion of your world,
You may be a socialite with a long string of pearls.
But you’re gonna have to serve the Dynasty, yes indeed,
You’re gonna have to serve the Dynasty,
It may be the Queen or it may be the Yuvraj,
But you’re gonna have to serve the Dynasty.

They may call you doctor or they may call you chief.
But you’re gonna have to serve the Dynasty, yes indeed,
You’re gonna have to serve the Dynasty,
It may be the Queen or it may be the Yuvraj,
But you’re gonna have to serve the Dynasty.
You may be a state Chief Minister; you might be a young political Turk,
You may be the head of some big TV network,

But you’re gonna have to serve the Dynasty, yes indeed,
You’re gonna have to serve the Dynasty,
It may be the Queen or it may be the Yuvraj,
But you’re gonna have to serve the Dynasty.
You may be a VVIP with your own aerodrome,
You may be living in a mansion or you might live in a dome,
You might own guns and you might even own databanks,
You might be somebody’s landlord you might even own banks.
But you’re gonna have to serve the Dynasty, yes indeed,
You’re gonna have to serve the Dynasty,
It may be the Queen or it may be the Yuvraj,
But you’re gonna have to serve the Dynasty.
You may be a stalwart with a great deal of pride,
You may be a shady politician taking bribes on the side,
You may be a ferocious lion in your own lair,
You may be somebody’s mistress, may be somebody’s heir.
But you’re gonna have to serve the Dynasty, yes indeed,
You’re gonna have to serve the Dynasty,
It may be the Queen or it may be the Yuvraj,
But you’re gonna have to serve the Dynasty.
Might like to wear khadi, might like to wear silk,
Might like to drink whiskey, might like to drink milk,
You might like to eat imported, you might like to eat simple bread,
You may be sleeping on the floor, sleeping in a king-sized bed.
But you’re gonna have to serve the Dynasty, yes indeed,
You’re gonna have to serve the Dynasty,
It may be the Queen or it may be the Yuvraj,
But you’re gonna have to serve the Dynasty.
You may call me Chidu, you may call me Mani,
You may call me MMS, you may call me Antony,
You may call me Kapil, you may call me Ramesh,
You may call me anything but no matter what you say.
But you’re gonna have to serve the Dynasty, yes indeed,
You’re gonna have to serve the Dynasty,
It may be the Queen or it may be the Yuvraj,
But you’re gonna have to serve the Dynasty.
