· They should have annual elections in Egypt and all the ballot boxes should be placed in Tahrir Square.
· A Chief Justice taking charge of a country after a show of force?
Sounds a bit like Judge Dredd!
· Foreign springs lead to regime changes.
Indian springs lead to an immediate winter where the regime freezes all goodwill and tries to curb all freedoms.
· Protestor 1: How I love spring!
Protestor 2: But it’s always spring in Egypt!
Protestor 1: I know!
These versions by Sunil Rajguru
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.

Scene 1: Somewhere in fascist India.
Anna: Hum yahan ek Tahrir Square type revolution layenge!
Sarkar: Pahale hum aapko squarely Tihar Jail main daalenge. Wahan chakki peeste (revolution karte) rahana!
Scene 2: Tihar Jail.
Anna: Aap yahan kis liye aaye hai?
Kalmadi: Corruption. Aur aap?
Anna: Anti-corruption.
Epilogue.
The Congress now believe in the Chinese higher philosophy of “Unity of Opposites”.
Tihar Jail will now have two wings. One will be called the Corruption Cell. The other will be called the Anti-corruption Cell.
Post Script.
So we finally get our own Tahrir Square, though it looks as big as India right now!
