So Ironic , that That the Prodigious , mega swearing in - ceremony of Modi , is the very legitimate child of an unceremonious swearing -on acrimony that was witnessed In the just concluded elections!! Today evening , we will have 8 head of states of neighboring countries , 3000 distinguished guests , and a whole excited nation - to witness the bonhomie !! The Gastronomic gourmet is no less befitting , with Chicken hazarvi, galauti kebab, prawn stew , Chicken chetttinad , Birbali kofta ...and a slew of veg delicacies and desserts ( vegans , plz excuse me for their names , as they didnt stick on my very efficient , selective non- stick Layer ,coating my Brain !!) Curiously , though , their is no Biryaani , as it was lampooned and spoofed by Modi , in his campaign rhetorics ! But then , recipes can change , as he never said he wont do a Dhokla- khakra Diplomacy !! Curiously ,for the first time , the proceeding will also be translated in the sign language , for the Deaf .... Symbolically, representing Modi a desire to send his message across far n wide , as loud , as silent !!! Also , None of his close family members are invited for the solemn occasion , reiterating his pledge of complete renunciation !! The reaching out to all neighbors , especially Sri Lanka and Pakistan , will have far reaching implications , and it is heavily laden with hope ! The immediate result , being the release of hundreds of fishermen held by Pakistan n SriLanka !! Nawaz sharif , has also done his bit , ignoring the hawks and eagles in Pakistan , in accepting the invitation . Once bitten ,Twice shy .... We are , ....But indo Pak relations have always been A Cat and Dog relation , so , the Meos , purrs and licks will only come after some biting and pawing ... We need to understand that ! How long can we sit on a legacy of mindless loss of life and limbs ?? The Bloodbath needs to end , and the fences need to be mended . You cant change your Houses, and so the neighbours ! Past experience may be deterring , as a Samjhauta expressand an Agra summit were followed by parliament attack and kargil, but do we have a choice ?? Maryam sharifs daughter so rightly tweeted -Aggression is easy to start and difficult to end .. Brutality n force are the tools of the immoral Why are we living like Korea , why cant we live like the United Europe To quote a few lines from Shakeel badayounis poem- Har cheez nahi ek markaz par , ek roj Idhar , ek roj udhar ; Nafrat se na dekkho , dushman ko , shayad wo moohabbat kar baithe !! . . . And as I write this , my FMradio croons the soulful lines from the latest release X pose ---- Dard Dilon ke kam ho jaate , main aur Tum gar , Hum ho Jaate !!
