Lalooji, meanwhile, thinks the rail mantralaya tracks can now be extended to the PM’s house. And Paswanji thinks he’s the man...for didn’t Lalooji say so. Last heard, he was sleeping with a picture of 7, Race Course Road under his pillow. A tantrik told him Obamaji won because he did the same with a dark sketch of the White House.
The list doesn’t end there. Naveen Patnaikji is seeing Dilli dreams after an SMS from that Mick Jagger ("Pappu’s cool. And boy can he rule.") He’s now promising free copies of their Beggar’s Banquet album to BPL families.
Then, of course, there is Mulayamji. An SMS to his Bollywood friends says: "Manmohan may have Sonia and Rahul but I’ve got Amar Singhji and Nafisa Aliji." I wonder, are the two capable of making him PM? Of course, how can I forget Advaniji. Youth sits sagaciously on him. As it does on our own Manmohanji, who is suddenly very aggressive!
But where does all this leave me? Will I always be left the bridesmaid? And why is Modiji raking up my foreign origins even after I have granted that ‘uthappam’ was a precursor to the ‘pizza’.
