The genie looks at a frowning Sibal and asks: Why are you so upset? I have granted your wish. You will just have a one-on-one debate with Modi. Didnt you want this? Sibal: Ah, Im so happy. Yes, I wanted that. And no I was not frowning. My eyebrows are very big, so when I am looking people, they think I am making faces. Eyebrow1 and Eyebrow 2 in Unison: Yay! We are big. And white. And big. Eyebrow 1: Like really big. Eyebrow 2: Like really white! Sibal: Shut up guys! Youre not helping. The genie directs Sibal towards a room and vanishes. Sibal scowls his way to the room, where he finds Modi sitting on a sprawling sofa. He takes another seat right in front of him. Modi: You have your way. I am here. Open the debate. Sibal: Who was your history teacher, by the way? Which school did you attend? Modi: History itself taught me. I have not read it, I am here to make it. And my school is not important, school of thought is, which is Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. Sibal: How do you speak brazen lies in your rallies and get away? Modi: I know why you are asking this. Your guy told one about that ISI thing and was promptly caught and panned. Sibal: How do you justify sidelining your partys grand man for your PM ambitions? Modi: See in our party, we have no mommy whose writ is law. And as you rightly put, we have ambition for Prime Ministership. In your party, it is just the opposite I assume, and a lack of ambition is rewarded with Prime Ministership instead. Sibal: It ill behoves political astuteness to indulge in smart-alec-ness. Anyway, how do you assume you are the leader of the youth at 63 while Rahul is just 43? Modi: It is not about age; it is the mile-age. Your guy fears being assassinated and mews about it in his poll speeches. I speak amid blasts and roar about my future plans. Sibal: Very well. Let us hear about your plans. I have scanned news report for long to find out what exactly your plan is. Modi: I know that you are following me. Hence this secrecy. After we put up a website inviting peoples suggestions for our manifesto, you copied the idea. So we will unveil our plan only to those who file an RTI for this. Sibal: I doubt you have one. Anyway, when did Patel become a member of BJP? Modi: If Gandhi can be a surname of the Nehrus, why cant Patel belong to us? And by the way, you please stop this mischievous smile of yours. It irritates me. Sibal: I will do that. But after you have answered this one. How can maut ke saudagar forget 2002? At this moment, Amit Shah emerges from a dark corner of the room, grabs Sibal by the neck and drags him away. Modi arranges his beard, folds his hands and looks at the cameraman who now starts rolling. Modi to viewers: My friend Sibalji was to come here for an open debate with me here. He has not. How could he? What did he have to say? I have nothing to hideâ¦.
