INTO THE PAST WITH PAIN
Dr K Prabhakar Rao
Gandhi, Nehru and Patel are seen at High tech city road in Hyderabad. They are in their usual attire, but look tired and depressed.
Gandhi. Patel. I usually find these roads are dirty with no control and full of chaos.
Patel. Yes Bapu. That is the usual state all over Hyderabad.
Gandhi. But today the roads are clean. Everywhere Sweepers are working with lot of drive
Patel. It is learnt that Daughter of American President is visiting Hyderabd to take part in a conference of women industrialists. In particular. Modiji will be also present. He will also inaugurate Hyderabad Metro rail.
Gandhi. Oh Metro.. That means it is ready now.
Patel. Not completely. Only a small portion is ready for running the trains.Modi will make it run.
Gandhi. If Modi does not come will iot not run?
Patel. It is not like that. It is a custom to inaugurate any project at the hands of some big guy.
Gandhi. That means some type of pleasing a guy goes on.
Patel. It is common Bapu everywhere.
Gandhi. Let them be happy,, Sings
Maska Baji is everywhere
Where people dance without shame
Pleasing the guys is the sole aim
Guys are careful that they do not get blame
Patel.. Hear ….. hear..
Nehru.. Nice Bapu. You hit the Bull
Gandhi. I am a perfect shooter
Patel. But you fell like a duck to Godse
Gandhi. Only he had the gun. I had only a lathi.
Patel. Bapu , Once the meeting is over, all this tamasha will be over. Everything will return to normal.
Gandhi. That is usual.
(Suddenly a pup comes near Patel and licks his feet. Patel with love pats the pup and it sits down at his feet. Mother dog also arrives with another six pups. )
Gandhi. Look at these lovely pups. They are living on streets and not worried of tomorrow. They have no unions.
Nehru. Bapu, They are animals. They have to live like that only
Gandhi. How bad Jawaharlal. Don’t you bother for animals? Are they not part of this world?
Nehru. What we can do for them? They live like that.
(In the mean time two municipal guys arrive and want to take away the pups. The mother dog growls at them. They batter the she dog with a stout stick and put all the pups in a gunny bag while they scream. They put a rope noose around the dog and drag it into a van. )
Gandhi. Hey Why are doing this? What they have done to you?
Muncipal staff. It is none of your business. If you act funny we shall take you also
Patel..Hey Behave. Do not act like a rowdy. You appear to be a govt servant.
Nehru. This arrogance is because they are govt servants
Gandhi. That means corollary of the theorem is that govt servant has to be arrogant
Patel. You are good at Maths too.
Gandhi. Who said I am not?
A passerby stops near them. His name is Narsing
Narsing. Hello sir, The municipal guys have been ordered to eliminate all dogs on streets around this place and places where the visitors are likely to travel. Nothing can e done. After all they are dogs. There is no mercy
Suddenly they find few Cops and the cops arrive wielding sticks
SI.. Catch hold of these guys and put them in van
Gandhi Why What for.?
SI. You can not beg around. No beggar should be visible
Nehru. Are we beggars?
Patel. Who told you we are beggars?
SI .You look so
Gandhi. Don’t you recognize us
SI. I do not know who you are.We will take you to Chanchalguda jail.
Patel. We will not come. We are not beggars
SI.. You son…. Of.. I shall teach you…
Gandhi. Keep quiet Mr SI. Do not loose balance.
SI. What will you do?
Gandhi. You will know soon. Come catch me if you can
(SI pounces on Gandhi and falls flat on the road. He is badly hurt. Constables lift him up and take him to the van )
SI. Why I fell down? Actually I fell on that old guy
Constable. Relax sir. Now look sir .The guys have vanished from here. They do not look to be humans.
SI. You mean they are ghosts. Eee,,eee.aaa...aaa.
Constable. Yes sir.. Better leave this place.
The police van speeds away.carrying the SI
CURTAIN FALLS
