While I am writing this piece, the loudspeakers are blaring outside with the name of the bloke who is set out to do the country some good. Well so it may seem! Although he looked quite sober to me and his white moustache (which he uses as a pretence of wisdom!) spoke more than his mouth. C'mon folks lets just give the guy a chance to say something! At least he has got the decency to attempt to make a bit of a change that we love to discuss when travelling to office. Alright so he may not be the suave, English upholding, Allen Solly dressing or an i-pod carrier corporate dude! But then he has got enough balls to get inside that hell hole called Lok Sabha. Isn't this some fictitious wonderland for us promoted by our educational curriculum and the media? Yes it is, even if you have answers to the contrary.

Yes our misery has no end in sight when we have to put up with the infrastructure (if you can call that as one), yes every monsoon we swear that Amazon jungles are safer than the travelling in the city during a downpour, yes we are tired with the SYSTEM, but think. Yes I urge you to consider the most unimaginable thing ! Imagine that the person from your constitution is actually going to make a difference this time. He may go ahead and complete the 4 tracks that is now 20 years overdue. He may beautify your area with greens to make your area an Avenue. He may actually rehabilitate the slum dwellers and provide sanitation. Well, he may actually earn his salary.
If you were able to sustain the bolt if reading the above, then you can be deemed a citizen of this place. We can conveniently pass the buck to the administration for not able to see what we actually want to see our city to be. But we cannot shy away from the fact that by lashing it out with like minded people is not going to bring the much needed change.
We have been let down innumerable times but if you imagine that there was no administration at all, you will have no measure as to what chaos this may lead to. I may be the millionth person (discarding the print, screen & radio media) to put the foot down and give you the temptation to go out there and ink your finger, but the value of your time for this vote will be million times better than serving your profit hungry boss.
