INTO THE PAST WITH PAIN… 286
Dr K Prabhakar Rao
(Gandhi, Nehru and patel are sitting at a park in Delhi and chatting. Patel is holding a news paper in his hand)
Gnadhi. Bhai Patel, What is there in the paper today?
Patel. There are some interesting news today.
Nehru. What can be the news? I am also keen to know.
Patel. Attack of Pakistanis soldiers on LOC has become old news. They took one head of the Jawan also.
Gandhi. That was really bad. Unbecoming conduct indeed. They are barbaric in fact.
Patel. Our shouting has no effect. It will fall on deaf ears. As it is nations aner has fallen on deaf ears.
Gandhi. Kya Kare Bhai? Mulk aisa bangaya ( What to do brother? Nation has become like this ) ( sings)
Dekh tere sansar ki haalat
Kya ho gayi Bhagwan
Kitna badal gaya insaan
Sooraj na badala Chand na badla
Naa badla re aasman
Oh kitna badal gay insaan
( Of God, look at this world
What happened to the man
Sun has not changed and
Moon has not changed
Sky also not changed
How the man has changed)
Patel. Bapu, Relax. Listen to todays greatest news
Gandhi. What it can be? Has Americans landed on Mars ?
Nehru. Has Israel attacked Iran?
Patel. Nothing like that.
Gandhi. I am sure Americans have produced combination of man and ape
Patel. No. Not at all.
Nehru. Kutub minar must have been renamed Rajiv Minar
Patel. Hee..Hee . Who will do that? Country will go in flames.
Gandhi. Come on Patel. Please do not trouble. We are feeling impatient. Look I am feeling scratchy as usual.
Patel. Bapu. Please do not scratch yourselves. I shall tell you..Here it goes. Rahul Gandhi has been declared vice president of Congress party. He is no 2 after Soniaji.
Gandhi. Is it a big news? Hw it is big news? It is always expected. If not he, who will become?
Patel. No other guy can oppose or contest. All will fall in line. Every one clpas.
Gandhi. What else they can do? Poor guys. It is one man show.
Patel. It was always like that. During your time could any one go against you?
Gandhi. True. None. All listened to me.
Patel. Bapu, Subhas did not listen.
Gandhi. He is a rare one. Except him all fell in line. Now what will happen
Patel. What can happen. He will do the same job which he did earlier.
Gandhi. But wherever he led the party it failed badly.
Patel. . Any how let us wait and watch. Why think of taste of cake while youa re going to eat it.
Gandhi. Hee..hee.. True.
Nehru. You guys are making joke out of this.
Patel. It is no joke. We are telling facts. Results can be seen very soon. It isa matter of few months.
Gandhi. True ( sings)
Ram ji karega beda par
Udasi man kaheko dare
Kaheko dare.. aaaaa..aa
Ramji karega beda par
Udasiman kahe ko dare
( Lord ram will take care of you
Why are you worried?)
Patel. Some of the news papers have published the news on full front page.
Gandhi. They are the followers of the party and want to be in good books.
Patel. True. If any other guys was selected for the post it would have been a great news
Gandhi. True. Nothing to feel special. Relax guys. Let us go. We have any better things to discuss.
