India "Modi"fied , Yet Again......

Eve of 68th independence day, india brimming with patriotism, the TRICOLOUR waiting to be unfurled and to spread the indianness far and wide, audience gazing with popped eyes, people glued to their idiot boxes, waiting for the "prime servant" to let loose the strings, but......wait a sec, something's missing, where's the "cocoon", i mean where's the protective ,bullet proof glass behind which the all the PPM'S (past prime minister's)  have taken guard along with a thick bundle of handwritten speech (credits: speechwriter)  to address the largest democracy. Are we going to be served with a new dish, something which we haven't tasted ever , even in our dreams probably?? it's just a matter of some minutes, it "ll all be transparent, let not curiosity pounce upon the cat.

And without any much a do, the ramparts of the red fort was occupied by the man of the moment and the strings of the tricolour got the right touch. With the flag rising high ,as proud as the national bird, as fierce as the national animal, and as gentle as the national flower, the differences dropped down to ground level.For "those" 52 secs each an every indian ,from the honourable dignitaries present their to the paperwala who fetched me the printed info, everyone seemed so equal. But the irony is , these precious "52 secs" comes just twice in a year. Simply means we just have 104 secs out of 3,15,36,000 secs to feel that we all are equal .

Well, after a blistering start to the show, it was now the action time! Saying no to the obligatory security , needs a heart of iron, and the "saffron turbanee" clearly fetched an "A" grade in doing so. But that was not the only example of his metal personality and iron heart. The place which made the big veterans forget about their last night supper, the steps of the fort which made butterflies take habitat in their tummy, the humungous gathering which made the words so damn heavy to move out of the fluent speakers, all seemed so petite to him that he himself increased the difficulty level of the "game" by going extempore instead of speaking out the hand written. Why he did so....well in salman khan's word.....he gets "kick" in doing so.

And indeed , his "kick" proved to be a "kickass" for all anti-modi's whose naive objections and obligations  seemed so not worth. I don't remember when was the last time people of india witnessed an extempore, rather a spotless extempore show, better to say a public face off at the ramparts of the red fort.Small changes will cling on to make a big one themselves. At the end of the day its the skills that matter the most. From an "energetic" Mamo  to an encouraging Namo........days have changed...and it would not be incorrect to say INDIA is undergoing the process of "MODI"fication.
