Once upon a beehive :::: Chetan Bhagat

Once upon a time there was a giant beehive. It was located on an ancient tree, situated amidst meadows and gardens filled with bright and colourful flowers.

The beehive had a queen bee, who along with some senior bees, had been chosen to run the hive---

And then it started. Slowly, all Government bees’ children, cousins, relatives, friends and well-wishers started stealing a bit of honey everyday from the reserves. They didn’t have to slave in the gardens all day anymore. The worker bees did notice the honey levels were not going up as expected. When some worker bees pointed this out, the Government just ordered everyone “to work harder and not be lazy”-

Over time, not only did honey levels fall, the discovery of new gardens stopped for the kids of worker bees. They remained idle and hungry. Sometimes, the queen bee tossed some scraps at the worker bees, and everyone praised the queen. However, the scraps were not enough.

“Who is stealing the honey?” one day, an influential worker bee finally said. The Government noticed the influential protesting bee was black. So, the Government said, “The brown bees are doing it.” Then, the Government called the brown bees, and told them, “We think the black bees are stealing all your hard work.”

Hungry and tired, the black and brown bees were filled with anger. They fought with each other. The Government bees enjoyed the distraction and continued to steal. As brown and black bees died and suffered, the Government tossed some more honey scraps. Worker bees praised the queen again '

When are you going to call it a day, Boss ?

 Instead of this rehearsed speech, Rahul Gandhi can do well if he can tell us what he has done to improve the life of a common man in Amethi. We hope to hear it in his next month's address to the nation. Meantime he can enjoy his vacation partying and skipping parliament sessions. 

>>A mature and inspiring speech!

The most inspiring theme of his speech was "not going to happen, boss". His speech does nothing but makes excuses for non-governance and incompetence of Manmohan SIngh. Predictably, some people still find his speech inspiring.

"" "Woh [ Rahul Gandhi] kahat hain dui Bharat ban gawa (he says two Indias have come into being)," said the farmer, half-squatting and leaning on a lathi.

"And what do you think about this," we asked him.

" Hum kahat, sahib (we say, sir), that of the 60 years of Independence, for 53 years you have ruled us and created two Indias." Then, with a defiantly mischievous twinkle that you see in the eyes of the poorest Indians only during an election, he added, "and we say, sahib, that if we gave you five more years, how can we trust you not to divide us into three Indias now .''

"Doubts arise because he is still hesitant to talk about the future, about his own and his party's politics and policies. The most important missing point was something suffixed with "If we return to power..." Isn't that what you expect from a political leader, hard-nosed or not, particularly in an election year, when his party is seeking a third successive term? You can't then get away merely with describing how things are. ''

 The work culture of India, is uncertain. Doctors and politicians are supposed to be on call 24/7, but other people who earn high salaries are supposed to mind their work timings, and if they are asked to work after time,  allotted to their workplace, it is certainly not right, according to rights. What is really happening in India? I mean, politicians are not supposed to be happy, are supposed to work 24/7, when they represent workers and are actually supposed to represent people who are happy, apparently. Doctors can be happy, and exhibit it, but if a politician feels happy, even if he doesn't make himself happy, it seems unappropriate, because of the concern they mention towards every suffering, all the time. There is no happy news and tiding. Barak Obama seems to make it a point that his children and wife are present at potato spoon races organised by various identities, so that people feel they aren't being represented by God. The idea in India is, that the politician needs the mantle of God, so that various works can be done easily, and people are resenting this, equally increasingly.

Vision - What Vision

Rahul’s day out - The Hindu Editorial

...the pundits are tearing their hair: What could be the strategy behind a potential Prime Minister telling his voters not to entertain any hopes from him? Indeed, there were puzzling aspects to Rahulspeak,...Rahul’s speech was like a soliloquy: it was as if he was throwing questions at himself, exploring his own dilemmas, doubts and weaknesses and concluding that perhaps there were no answers.

Rahul might have been a philosopher contemplating the mysteries of the world rather than a hard-nosed politician fighting to save his battered party and government from the prospect of defeat. To put it another way, he might have been a Congress malcontent wishing doom on the UPA government. How else could one explain his assertion that if Manmohan Singh was expected to “solve our problems, it is not going to happen?”...it stretches credulity that Rahul should speak as if he were a disenchanted voter angered and fatigued by the government’s remoteness from his everyday problems. On the other hand, sacrifice and aloofness are qualities that have proved in the past to be attractive to the Indian polity. The more the clan members run away from power and position, the more apparently their mystique.

In simple words, "waffle, waffle and more waffle". Just what this country needs in its supreme leader.

 

Rahul Gandhi pacing the stage up and down continuosly,reminded one of a terrified animal put in a cage in the zoo.He was pathetic written all over.Only boot lickers like Adi Godrej found greatness in his antics.
