The Marital Status of a Martial Man --------------------------------------- There’s an affidavit, and there’s a form To be filled properly, as per the norm The problem is when questions are strange To a man not sure if he is in or estranged. Ah, he runs for a public office, the highest In political life, this is a big test He must answer with the facts, he must It’s a matter of winning the people’s trust. So what was he when he was what he was? Was it a real marriage, or was it a farce? It’s not easy to ask such questions to men On matters personal such as Jasodhaben Mr. Modi was too young then, innocent and all Not the kind of man who now stands tall, aspiring for the chair that rocks the nation Not the one who was then in a lower station. Marriage, ladies and gents, you will agree Is not really everybody’s cup of tea This is just the kind of stuff many try to stall It’s just that some are lucky – or have the gall! Love of the masses must be a better perk for the man whose critics love to call him a jerk But you see he wants to rule the nation—not shirk. Who wants a spouse when there’s so much work? So it’s only proper that he waited and tarried before telling the world he was married Such is the institution – much too overrated In the Facebook Age they rightly say: “It’s complicated” --N.Madhavan, 2014 blogs.hindustantimes/madversity
