"INDIA IS A DRAMATIC COUNTRY AND INDIANS ARE DRAMATIC PEOPLE"
Here are a couple of characters who will take you through this blog.
Frustrated Citizen of India (A minority in the country)
Here comes the majority - The Ostrich Men of India 
Last month, I ventured into "Ragavendra Mahal" - known for its owner who happens to be a super-dooper hero of Tamil Nadu. It was a bit ironic that we needed a place of a Superhero to get some recognition for a mass movement towards eradicating corruption in this country. There were about 50 people inside and I think it should have been a scary experience of them. In that massive hall, am sure they might have felt very lonely. Also, there was a risk of goons walking in to whack them a bit. Brave souls, indeed!!!
I had to question myself about why citizens of this great country which has scored extremely high on the global corruption index (unlike our cricketers down under ;)) are so uninterested about showing their support to the Anti-corruption movement? Just in the recent past, it was a fashion to talk about how corruption is killing our country. When such difficult questions arise, I think of the second line in this article.
So, I have decided to de-complicate it for all you dummies. Let's start with a few questions for which we can find answers here:
- IS LOKPAL A MOVIE?
- WAS ANNA HAZARE CLASSMATE OF GANDHI? THEN, WHY IS HE A GANDHIAN?
- WHY DIDN'T WE LAUNCH LOKPAL BILL WITH A FASHION SHOW?
- WHY POLITICIANS HATE LOKPAL (ESPECIALLY LALU???)
- WHY DON'T WE SEE THE KHANS IN LOKPAL PREMIERES?
- WHAT IS THE ATTENTION SPAN OF AVERAGE INDIAN?
What is Lokpal?
Frustrated citizen speaking...
Check wiki... you idiot. Anyway, this is a bill that will bring corruption to an end... or, so we hope. But, don't ask me for the details. That is way beyond my intellectual capabilities... or yours.
Ostrich Man speaking...
Pal means friend, right... and Lok means world. It means "Be friends with the world". It is like the indian version of the Facebook. Oooh... let me check how many chicks I can pick up using Lokpal.
Why we all love Lokpal?
Frustrated citizen...
Because we bloody think that this bloody bill will reduce bloody corruption in this bloody country.
Ostrich Man...
We love Lokpal because it came at the right time. There was no IPL or any major movie releases. So, we decided to try Lokpal and Anna, for a change. It will keep us all occupied until we have the next movie or cricket series.
Why did Lokpal lose steam?
Frustrated...
Because no bloody politician... be it the ruling one or the opposing one... will let it live. After all, this bill has been hanging since 1968. Gosh, I was not even born then and I am already into my thirties.
Ostrich...
Well... It was to be expected if they can't keep up the momentum in the script. They should have tried more stunts, more rain songs with heroines (using Ramdev in a Punjabi suit was a bad idea, indeed) and the climax never arrived. You can't expect us to miss our movies or cricket for this... do you? You are kidding, mate!!!
Who is Anna Hazare?
Frus...
He is the human form of our collective conscience. So, don't blame us if we can't stand him for too long. Well... to answer your question, He is one old man... very old man, indeed... who was born while Gandhi was alive. He may have lost a few marbles upstairs... and thinks he can fast until death without knowing that our politicians would happily let him die.
Ostri...
Isn't he the man who fasts!!! Even my spa recommended that I fast for a day to reduce the fat I've accumulated because of too much pizzas and KFCs. I gotta work out at the discotheques more, I think. Now, coming back to Anna... I think his costume is a bit bland for a stage personality.
Why elect politicians and then conduct processions to remove them?
Frustrated...
No comments!!! Are you trying to make me feel guilty and miserable, you moron :(
Ostrich...
Processions are fun... Maan!!! Have you ever seen a Mardi gras...dude?
When you know somebody is corrupt, why did you elect them?
Frustrated citizen...
We were given a wide variety to choose from - Hot pan, Fire and the devil himself. So, couldn't decide which one was better.
Ostrich Man...
I'll pass that question, mate!!! I've never voted and my intellectual age is not yet 18... I'll go back to my playstation now ;)
How to pass the Lokpal bill?
Frustrated citizen speaking...
I wish my grandchild somehow finds another Anna to sacrifice. Even then, it might be a bit difficult. But, hope is everything, right!!!
Ostrich Man speaking...
We should invite all movie stars to the launch. Mallika should gyrate her hips seductively to capture the attention of the audience. Then, Big B can light the torch that will be taken all around the country. And, then... hey, what exactly are we talking about??? What is Lokpal exactly???
The end result of this debate is...
The Minority
The Majority
Long live India!!! Screw it, guys... when you have the chance!!!
