The political discourse in the country has suddenly turned scientific. Therefore, while Seemandhara burns, the borders of the country keep shrinking and the economy is in the pits, Rambo Rajkumar rolls up his sleeves and describes ‘escape velocity.’ Well, we should be pleased, shouldn’t we? Imagine, we have a potential P.M who is well versed with the magnitude of ‘escape velocity from Jupiter!” This while, the aam aadmi (mango people in the words of DamadG) struggles to find escape velocity from increasing inflation and shrinking Rupee. Well, at least he knows how to escape from Jupiter, wish we could do so from inflation and helplessness! Years ago, certain people had deciphered the escape velocity from Punjab and landing up in boats and containers to Canada, Australia and places like Albania, Bulgaria. Remember, how ‘poverty was a state of mind!’ Since you do not have ‘escape velocity’ from a state of mind, the poor might as well remain poor while the honey bees collect honey from our flowers and deposit it in honeycombs in alien lands. As if on cue (as always) Manish Tiwari has now blamed the R-Virus for the economic slowdown. R-Virus stands for (ex-CAG, Vinod Rai, another of the mango people). Since we do nothing better than put two and two together, we need to go back to the statement of Rambo Rajkumar, “if India is a computer, the Congress is the default programme” (another gem from the great one). Therefore, the R-Virus has perhaps decimated the default programme and not the computer, since it was not functioning because the default programme anyway. I mean, this is wonderful. The nation is depressed not because of ineptitude of leadership, the nation is sinking not because of corruption at the fountainhead, the nation is in a mess not because of diarchy which would embarrass the diarchy established by the British in days of yore, the nation is directionless not because of the driver looking for directions from the back seat driver, but because the R-Virus exposed a Himalayan level of corruption, but because a certain VK-Virus spoke the truth and perhaps because a K-Virus unmasked the true face of the dynasty in Haryana. But oblivious to everything else, Rambo Rajkumar is converting himself into a scientist who turns into an action hero in the night. Somewhat of a Shahenshah minus the dreadful costume. Therefore, he will talk of leaders instigating violence in Muzaffarnagar, forgetting the fact that his ally at the centre rules the state, forgetting the fact that while Deoband became the fatwa capital of the world we acted like ostriches with our heads in the sand and eye on the vote bank. This is perhaps the ‘escape velocity’ from reality!
