INTO THE PAST WITH PAIN...218

INTO THE PAST WITH PAIN…218
Dr K Prabhakar Rao

(Gandhi, Nehru and Patel are conversing at a Park in Hyderabad. They appear to be in good mood and occasionally laughing too. They are munching samosa. For a change, Nehru also seen laughing loudly.)

Patel. Bapu, Today Jawaharlal is in good mood and is responding to jokes too
Nehru. Iam not that bad as you think. I too have some sense of humor left.

Gandhi. look Patel, The greatest joke in this state is that CM has no other work except to get Jagan defeated at Kadapa. He is camping there with all his coterie most of the time. At last the elections are over this Sunday not before making allegations and counter allegations by every party. As usual booth capturing must be there. Money distribution is there as per the news paper reports although every one says no .. no .. Nothing like that., all was fair..

Patel. Who wuill believe them. Corruption has gone into each blood drop in every mans blood. If Blood samples are examined one will find liquor and money traces . Nothing more.

Gnadhi. If you say liquor has gone into blood, I shall agree. Both are liquids. Some how liquor will affect blood too. But solid money how will get into blood?

Patel. Hee..Hee. I just said like that. I also do not know how it will go into blood. Haa..haa..haa

Gandhi. A joke indeed. By the by, Patel what will happen if Jagan wins?

Patel. It will be a great catastrophe for congress. Heads will roll soon. I am sure the first target will be the CM.

Gandhi. I think many congress party guys will be very happy as musical chair can start.

Patel. If CM is dropped by Sonia when Jagan wins, who will become CM Bapu?

Gandhi. I know as much you know.

Patel. No Bapu, Plesae speculate. Iam itching to know.

Gandhi. I am sure congress president srinivas will surely make a bid. That guys always wants something although a looser.

Patel. That guy is a loosing pregnant duck. He already lost assembly elections twice.

Gandhi. Where is the problem? He is still the congress President after loosing his own election . Hee..hee. He is the loosing beauty in this state. This guy also avoided going to Kadapa out of fear saying that he had some health problem.

Patel. This is the usual trick. During Chinese war General Kaul too avoided going to front saying he was sick. India any how lost war and face too.

Gandhi. Loosing war is not a big thing. Loosing face is a very big thing. Some time both are equally bad too. In our case we lost both. We lost face and land too. Thousands of square miles have been lost to China in East and in North too. Till day we could not recover.

Patel. We shall never recover the lands.

Gandhi. Jawaharlal said not a blade of grass grows there. Hee..Hee

Nehru. Bapu, You are pulling my leg.

Patel. Legs are there to be pulled and not pushed. Hoo..hoo..hoo

Gandhi. Keshav Rao also would bid. Some guy from Andhra sidde also will try. Oh I forgot. There is Chiranjeevi the mega star waiting in wings. He already assured that if Jagan tries to pull down govt he is there to prop up. Iam also sure that Chiranjeevi will make to CM s chair.

Patel. That will be a great change. If it happens he will surely organize break dance classes for all Ms LA of his party and I am sure every session of Assembly starts with break dance by the party Ms LA where Chiru will be a Mutha mestry singing.. ee peta ku nene Mestrine…. Kaya kashtama….ne..ne…

Gandhi. A joke really

Nehru. Please do not make joke of things.

Patel. Where is the joke in this? Iam only predicting things that are likely to happen soon in this state. Hee..hee.. When NTR became CM , he used to appear in different dresses everywhere. Some times he was in dress of Swami Vivekananda and some time as Brahamanna . These are just popularity tricks. He used to speak on TV in his cinema style. Later of course he realized and reduced the tamasha and gimmicks.

Gandhi. So soon we may witness Chiru tamasha in this state. The word Mutha Mestry also suits him. Mestry means leader or head crafts man. Mutha means gang. Surely the leaders forma gang of workers to serve people.

Patel. Bapu. Do you think theya re going to serve people.

Gandhi. I think they claim so.

Patel. In fact people expect that they would serve them as vote for them. But sad part is that they do not serve. Are they serving now? Look at the scams and corruption at every corner. They are looting the state without any mercy. Every day we are reading in news papers about various projects . mines leasing, and many things. Every where only failures stare at people. Then these bye elections cause great distress to all. They also cause financial drain on state.

Gandhi. Who is bothered? Lootlo jitna Jaldi ho utna atcha hai. Phir mauka nahee aana. ) Loot as early as possible. Chance may not come again)

(Gandhi and Patel sing duet )

Gandhi :

Loot le na tum zamana Ky Karega( Loot. you must. What the world will do to you?)

Patel.:

Ahaa..ahhaaa. Intazaaro ka ye phal meetha rahega ( Yeah.. The fruit of this waiting will be very sweet)


Gandhi.:

Loot le na tum zamana Ky Karega

Patel

Masthi ke din hai.. Khushee ke din hai( These are days of celebrations and happiness)


Gandhi

Itna kyo soch tha hai kyo diwana Loot lena ( Why think so much ..fool, you must loot)

Patel

Loot lena tum Zamana Kya karega


Nehru ( Shrieks ludly). Come on stop.. you guys! Are you getting nuts?

( Patel and Gandhi stop singing and doing jig. Patel goes to Nehru)

Patel. What is the matter? Hope all is fine with you.

Nehru. Iam absolutely fine. I am sure you guys are gone crazy in fact.

Patel. Why?

Nehru. Is that song to sung by you guys. One happens to be a Mahatma and other is an Iron man

Patel. Have we done a crime? We are telling realities. We are telling what is going to happen soon. We are also telling what isi happening now and always.

( Nehru picks up a roadside stone and hammers his own head shouting Kill me .. Kill me.. Now itself.. Kill me.. I do not want to live and see these things.. Patel pulls out stone from Nehru’s hand and wipes blood from his bald head. Gandhi goes to him)

Gandhi, Poor guy. He is unable to take things in lighter vein. Just too bad. That is why he has high BP. Jawaharlal , relax. Take things lightly. Try to be humorous too. Why brood?

Nehru. Is this Bapu speaking.

Gandhi. Yes Iam very much MK Gandhi, Mahatma Gandhi speaking. Any doubt in this?

Gandhi. Patel. I think Jawaharlal is much upset. Let us call it a day. Let us go. He needs some rest

Patel. OK . fine

( The trio walks away slowly)

( CURTAIN FALLS )
