INTO THE PAST WITH PAIN…202
Dr K Prabhakar Rao
Gandhi has fallen suddenly sick and lying on a cot in heavens. Nehru and Patel are seen nursing him. He occasionally cries and blinks. He is feeble and weak.)
Patel. Bapu. What happened to you suddenly? You have become sick. Iam feeling much upset.
Gandhi. ( feeble voice) Do not get worried. I shall be soon fine. Afterall I am very old man. How long I will be healthy?
Nehru. That is also true.
Patel. Bapu., Shall I read the news for you? You may enjoy it.
Gandhi. Plesae do it if you like.
( Patel picks up the news paper and reads headlines)
Dr Man mohan singh rejects demand for resignation by the opposition parties
Dr Man mohan singh says he is responsible for appointment of chief vigilance commissioner
Dr Man mohan singh says he has no knowledge of the scams in respect of erstwhile minister Raja
Dr Man mohan singh says he did not know that cases were pending against Mr thomos
Dr Man mohan singh says that he had to adjust to many issues in view of coalition government.
Dr Man mohan singh says his previous government came out clean after winning the confidence motion and also won election.
Dr Man mohan sing says wiki leaks are not trustworthy and can not be relied up on. No action is possible on such disclosures.
Gandhi. Oh shit. What is this going on in India? What he is doing? If he does not know any thing what for he is there?
Patel. He knows it better.
Gandhi. For everything he says I am helpless. Iam innocent. Next time he might say I am clueless.
Patel. That is possible by all means. (Sings)
The guys around are clueless
In comparison to an ass they are no less
It is group of clowns and nuts
And surely they must be sent to live in huts
Gandhi. Well said Patel. Kindly get me some fresh milk that is in flask.
(Patel pours milk in a cup and gives to Gandhi. He sips, takes a deep sigh and relaxes on bed)
Nehru. Bapu. Am I required here? I think I must go and relax
Gandhi. That is up to you. There is no compulsion on any one. If you feel you must take care of me you may stay. It is up to you.
Nehru. It is not that I am not interested in taking care of you. You misunderstood me.
Gandhi. Jawaharlal, Just relax.
Patel. You heard the news. What type of governing is going on in India?
Gandhi. It is crooks galore.
Patel. True. Every one is trying to make wealth while some are trying to entrench themselves for life time. Few are after reserving berths for their kith and kin. Some are after dynastic succession. Some want others to vanish once for all. They are digging graves behind them. Hee..hee. What your said is very true. It is crooks galore.
Gandhi. What to do? The nation has been brought to this pass by these nuts.
( In the distance famous singer actor Surendranath is heard singing)
Tera jaha aabaad hai
Mera jaha barbaad Hai
Faryaad Hai.. Faryaad hai
Hai aasmaa.. Faryaaad hai.. Tera Jahaa..
Too khush ke tere paas mein
sabphhol aakhir khil gaye
Jin ki tamanna thee mujhe
aakhir oh tujhjko mil gaye
Mere Muqaddar mein Fakhat
Ggam aur kisi ki yaad hai..
Tera jahan
( The pathetic song puts off Gandhi who sobs in his bed)
Patel. Bapu. Plesae be composed. You are a brave man. You have seen many ups and downs. God is there. He shall punish all the present nuts for misrule. They shall disappear without trace. They shall go into dark pages of world history. Bright days will soon dawn on India. Rule of law and virtue will be there. We have to wait.
Gandhi. Hope so.
Nehru. All the time you guys are hinting at my dynasty. I feel hurt.
Gandhi. Why feel bad at realities? Take it sportively
Nehru. My family members did so much for the nation.
Gandhi. There are many others who have even done more
Patel. They disappeared without any recognition.
Nehru. That is not our fault.
Gandhi. Yes It is their fault that they were selfless. They ere honest and sincere.
Nehru. Bapu. You appear to be biased.
Gandhi. Plesae do not think so. Think with open mind. Closed minds only see evil..
Patel. True.
Nehru. Patel, You have nothing to say except do Bhajan of Bapu.
Patel. Plesea you also do it. Who stops?
Gandhi. Jawaharlal. Please go if you are not happy. But do not pick up fights.
Nehru. Thanks Bapu. Iam going.
Patel. Tanks
Gandhi. Ohfo. What type of guys is he..OK Patel. Let me relax. I am feeling sleepy
Patel. OK Bapu. Bye
( Patel leaves)

INTO THE PAST WITH PAIN..201
INTO THE PAST WITH PAIN..201
Dr K Prabhakar Rao
(Gandhi, Nehru and Patel are seen at Delhi at a park and are seated on benches. They appear to be cool.)
Gandhi. Patel, What are the news? Of late, we are not in news.
Patel. Yeah. We must do something and be active.
Nehru. There are news. Yesterday in a stiffly fought match India defeated Pakistan in World cup semi finals at Mohali.
Gandhi. That is good, but…..
Patel. Bapu., why you have stopped? What is after but ?
Gnadhi. There is nothing important.
Patel. Bapu, You wanted to say something, but you have stopped.
Gandhi. Whao all are out of this tournament?
Patel. All much glorified teams like South Africa, England, Australia, New Zealand, West Indies are out of the game now. Other smaller teams like Netherlands, Bangladesh, Kenya, Canada, Zimbabwe are also out. Hee..hee
Nehru. What is there to laugh?
Patel. Nothing much.
Gandhi. Why Pakistan failed in this match? I thought they were doing well.
Patel. It is also a good team. Initially India won toss and selected to bat. Sehwag smashed Pak bowlers well and scored rapidly., the way he was hammering all thought that the sscore would touch not less than 350 atleast.
Gnadhi. Then what happened?
Patel. What will happen. As usual Sehwag fell to LBW and Sachin had to take the responsibility. He stabilized. He was also lucky to get few lives through dropped c taches. He sailed to 85 runs and suddenly gave a catch and was out. Yuvaraj earlier went for a duck. Gambhir also fell early and Kohli too was out cheaply. All thought that It would be a very difficult day. Dhoni played for some time and was out for 25 runs. It was only by Rainas efforts the score reached respectable 260 runs.
Gandhi. Was it not a good score.
Patel. Surely not. Pakistan is capable of chasing it. People kept fingers crossed.
Gandhi. then what happened?
Patel. When Pakistan batted. Run rate was very low due to tight fielding and good bowling by Indians. Pak wickets fell at regular intervals and soon they found themselves in spin. Finally Pakistan lost by 29 runs although they made some efforts to chase.
Gandhi. Poor guys. I feel sorry for them.
Patel. What d o you mean Bapu. You wanted them to win, I am sure.
Gandhi. Better I do not say anything. You guy will misunderstand me.
Patel. Bapu. You know, Pak PM came to India to witness the match.
Gandhi. That was good. I appreciate Dr Man Mohan singh for inviting them to India.
Patel. Bapu, There were rumors that Indian team would be asked to loose the match.
Gandhi, Why they should loose?
Patel. To appease them and a section of guys in India
Gandhi. I do not think this was true.
Patel. We do not know. It could be false rumors. Are Indian cricketers so low? They are great Patriots much more than the political leaders of today. They played so well. But when wickets fell cheaply, there was commotion. Yuv Raj who scored many 50 runs in this game, fell for zero.
Gandhi. Such things happen in cricket. I was told the pitch was bad soon and ball did not rise.
Patel. That also could be true.
Nehru. Hee..hee
Patel. Why are you giggling?
Nehru. Then what I should do? Should I cry?
Patel. Plesae cry because Pakistan has lost.
Nehru. Iam a patriot.
Patel. If so Iam happy. Bapu are you happy?
Gandhi. Iam also happy.
Patel. People generally think that you were for appeasement of Muslims.Even Godse in his statement during his trial said the same thing and he shot you plumb like Yiuvarj fell for LBW for a duck.
Gandhi. Iam not that bad as Godse said.
Patel. You know it better. Why dig past graves. More skeletons will roll down from cup boards. As long as Congress party is there these skeletons will be hidden in these cupboards. May be on some good day some guy will un earth these skeletons.
Gandhi. Then what will happen?
Patel. You know what happened to Lenin when USSR broke up.
Gandhi. Will my title Mahatma be taken away?
Patel. How do I know?
Gandhi. Any how Indian team bet Pak team convincingly. Iam also happy.
Patel. That is good and that is the spirit. In India every one wants India to defeat Pakistan. It is more important than winning world cup.
Gandhi. It is like wishing that my enemy should loose two eyes even if I loose one eye.
Patel. You may think so. Such is the situation. These guys harbored all terrorists and let loose jihad against India. They were involved in Bombay attack. We act as if we are ignorant. Our guys bend before them repeatedly again and again. We have no back bone and stiff spine. Our PM wants cricket diplomacy. What they are going ton achieve? They will go back and stray planning against us. There is no let up. They will not change. Upper stories of our guys are empty and the guys are clueless. You do any amount of favors to them Pakistanis will not change. They will continue anti Indian tirade. This is a naked truth.
Gandhi. Patel. Plesae do not spill so much venom.
Patel Bapu. Iam telling truth. Change atlesat now or else history will not forgive us.
Gandhi. Pate. Enough for today. Iam having head ache.
Patel Head ache will be there when heads are there. I know that you get head ache whenever I speak against Pakistan.
Gandhi. You may think so. Better we call it a day.
Patel. OK. Let us go.

INTO THE PAST WITH PAIN..200
INTO THE PAST WITH PAIN…200
Dr K Prabhakar Rao
(Gandhi, Nehru and patel are in the parliament lobby and are watching the proceedings. Patel is seen laughing. Nehru does not appreciate it and looks angrily at him)
Nehru. Look Patel. This is not any place of comics. This is parliament. The respected one too. Better behave.
Patel. Oh You are speaking out today. What a surprise it is?
Nehru. What is wrong in it? Can’t I speak?
Gandhi. You are most welcome.
Patel. Iam only laughing at the proceedings here.
Nehru. What is there to giggle?
Patel. It is everything.
( In the house opposition members are seen shouting at pitch of voice denouncing the PM Dr Man Mohan singh. He appears least bothered. He reads from a text as usual)
Gandhi. Look guys. He is not even lifting hi eyes from the papers and continues to read.
Patel. If he looks up he forgets everything..
Gandhi. Will he be able to tell his name without looking into his papers?
Patel. I doubt seriously. Hee..heee,,haa
Gandhi. The guy says they are not to be blamed. He says previous house was given full confidence by winning elections. More over the gained the trust of the house.
Patel. Issue is about the way they gained confidence
Gandhi. He says WIKI can not be believed.
Patel. It is a matter of convenience. Earlier Rahul was also put into trouble by WIKI leaks. What happened to him. There was some shouting in the house. Then all forgot about it. Even RSS is cool now. In love and politics all is fair. No one is eternal enemy or eternal friend. Every guy is an opportunist . hee..hee
Gandhi. Very well said patel. Haa,,hhaa..haa (sings)
All the guys in politics are big nuts
No one has some real guts
They play band to the situation
While they shout out of frustration
These are games of mere tricks
None is serious of this nation
The leaders are busy in looting spree
Everything they want only free
Patel. Hear . hear Well sung Bapu. How correctly you summed up the character of these guys!
Gandhi. That I do and I am an expert at it.
(In the mean time there is a melee in House and some members rush to the well and shout and dance too. Marshals are called and the respected members are forcibly taken out. They shout Down with PM.. hoo..hoo..hoo)
Gandhi. Tamasha for today is over. There will be again a show tomorrow.
Patel. True. Bapu. Let us go. Enough for today.
Nehru. Let us go.
( The trio slowly walks out of the house and get on to the road)
Patel. Bapu. How long this tamasha will go on?
Gandhi. How do I know. I know as much you guys know.
Patel. But this tamasha has been going on since long.
Gandhi. In democracy this is the only past time for the respected members of house. Fault finding is the main job. For those who are in power saving themselves is the main job. This is like a cricket match. Opposition tries to bowl out the ruling party members in different ways. It can be LBW, run out , stump out, catch out, clean bowled, Hit wicket or retired hurt. Most of the members try to cover up so that LBW decisions are in their favor. PM is an umpire. Speaker is another umpire. There will be another unknown third umpire. LBW decisions are always manipulated. Poor opposition again can not see wickets and keep bowling. There are very few clean bowled cases. Rather they are none.
Patel. Now they are trying to bowl out PM on wiki leak case and he is trying to cover up wickets.
Gandhi. Haa..haaa.. well said. Dr Man Mohan singh is a seasoned cricketer. He knows well to cover up his wickets.
Patel. Why not. The guy got so much practice in this murky games.Some guy has recommended him for national Chipko award too.
Gandhi. I know that.
Patel. If the award was Instituted when Jawaharlal lived, he was the most suitable candidate for it. I think now we must v award Chipko Ratna like Bharat Ratna.
Gandhi. That is very good and most befitting. You may alos include lesser grades as Chipko rattan, Chipkoram, Chipko nandan, Chipko hari that may be awarded to lesser should as we have Padma awards.
Patel. Very true. Bapu. Now some AP guys are demanding Bharat Ratna posthumously to NT Rama Rao. Like wise we must give Chipko Ratna to this Jawaharlal. He really deserved it.
Nehru. I do not need any award like that.
Patel. It is not that you are liking it and you are being given. In fact It is an honor for you,. Plesae take it Chipko sahib. Who can be most befitting than you when awarded to the guys who are no more on earth?
Gandhi. True. You deserve it. Even after Chinese debacle you did not resign. You hung on like Chipkali.
Nehru. You guys are insulting me in fact.
Gandhi. No .. No.. In fact if we take opinion of people you shall surely get.
Ptael. Ha..haa.. Bapu. Enough for today. This guy is getting worked up much. Let us leave him.
Gandhi. True Haa..haaa

INTO THE PAST WITH PAIN…199
Dr K Prabhakar Rao
(Gandhi, Nehru and patel in Delhi are seen conversing near Red fort. They are dressed in usual dress and not in high spirits. )
Gandhi. Look Jawaharlal. You seem to be very quiet these days. What worries you always?
Nehru. What can I say?
Gandhi. Why. You are free man top talk and not under any binding.
Nehru. That is fine, but I am unhappy about the way you give lift to this Patel.
Gandhi. I never gave any lift to him.
Nehru. But it is so.
Gandhi. What made you think so?
Nehru. You always appreciate him. Mostly you agree with him and clap to his words
Patel. From now onwards we shall clap to whatever you utter.
Nehru. I never wanted like that.
Patel. Then why always give a constipated look?
Gandhi. Patel. Better use some good words for him.
Patel. I always truth.
Nehru. Eeee…eeee…aa… You guys make joke of me always. ( Sings in Saigal’s style)
You make mostly fool of me
Although I am not at all one
Always together are we
But you guys against me make fun
Gandhi. Jawaharlal. Please do not cry. We shall take care of it in future. (sings)
Cry not dear oh my cry baby
I shall sing to you few rhymes
Wipe your tears at once oh my young one
You shall be soon and enjoy the real fun
Patel. Hee. Hee.. That was great one.
(Nehru looks other way)
( They suddenly find Dr Manmohan singh walking on the road. Patel waves to Singh)
Patel. Hoi dear Singh Sahib. Namste. How are you?
( Man Mohan singh stops seeing Patel wishing him. He goes to the trio)
Man Mohan singh. Namaste sir. How are you all.
Patel. We are fine. How are you Mr singh in the second term as PM.
Singh. You are seeing things. Iam surviving daily.
Patel. I know that.
Singh. Not a single day passes without opposition making claims on my inefficiency.
Patel. Look Mr. Patel. Every guy reaches limit of efficiency at some time. You have already reached
Singh. Uh.. It is a curse to be the PM of this nation.
Gandhi, Iam happy you have realized.
Patel. On first count why you have accepted this thankless job.
Singh. Some one has to do this. If I do not do other guy will do. Pranab is in fact itching to be in my place. That guy can not speak Hindi properly. He also accepted it.
Gandhi. But Deve Gowda, the sleeping beauty was also a non Hindi speaking PM. But he was PM.
Singh. Hee.. He used to sleep while talking also. He was an expert in that art. He was happy like that. These are only excuses in fact.
Patel. Mr Singh. Now people are demanding your head after exposure by Wiki leaks.
Singh. Wiki is not bible. It si not Koran. It si not Geetha. That is all trash. How can we accept.
Patel. But these is some inner conciousness also.
Singh. Political leaders should not have any thing like that.
Patel. Ha..haa.. well said ( sings)
Political leaders after all are nuts
They are like dumb deaf and mute
They have to put a stone like face
Although some look very innocent and cute
Singh. Sir you are very strong in words. You were also such leaders at some time in past.
Patel. Leaders are today’s are different. These can not be compared. It is
like comparing an ass with horse.
Singh. Does it mean we are asses.
Patel. I did not say all. There are some ( sings)
Horse and ass are from same class
But they are of different make
An horse is agile and smart
While an ass looks like an horse that is fake.
Singh. So to t which class we must belong?
Patel. You know yourself.
Gandhi. Mr singh. Generally people say you are clean and honest. But you are surrounded by all murky men including those who run the show.
Singh. What can I say?
Gandhi. Look Mr Singh. You are highly educated. You are an outstanding economist. Then, why are you selling yourself. What for you are running?. What you want you toachieve? Are you heading for Nobel Prize? That will not come your way.
Singh. Sir Plesae do not curse me.. ee..ee..eee…aa..aa..
Gandhi. I am not cursing you. I am trying to enlighten you. I am trying to awaken you from sleep. You are like brown bear in winter that has gone into hibernation. Know your inner strengths. Probably you are like Hanuman and you are unable to recognize your own personality and strength.
Patel. What Bapu has said is very true. Know your self and act. The nations is passing through a very difficult phase and do not be carried away in the torrent of selfishness and dynastic sycophancy. You are already at the fag end of your career and probably life too as you is getting aged too. What else you want to achieve and attain accomplishments?
Singh. This has been very difficult for me. I know my weakness and have limitations.
Gandhi. Plesae recall the teachings of Swami Vivekananda and the great Gurus. Remember great Gobind singh Maharaj and his accomplishments against Aurangzeb. Remember his Zafar Nama. ( sings)
Oh Mr. Lion as your name says
Be a real lion and not a mere pussy cat
Be bold and uphold values in this state
And drive away all the corrupt rats
Patel. Hip.. Hip hurray. Great singing bapu, hats off to you. ( Claps loudly)
Gandhi. Plesae remember what I said. Do not vanish into dark pages of history. Be a man. That is expected out of you.
Singh ( Murmurs as usual in his own typical style as generally seen on TV shows)
Gandhi( Beats his fore head) Ohfo. What happened to all my preaching for the last one hour. This guys is not responding at al.
Patel. Bapu. He is a robot merely. Probably remote controlled. Our talk have flown over his turban unable to enter into it.
Gandhi. OK Singh sahib. Do as best as you could. Remember my words. You will not be remembered by Jee Hazzoori. You have to act that too forcefully. Plesae do not say that your parliament can not act over the past parliament actions. Men are the same in both parliaments. If a govt servant retires is he not pursued even after retirement if some thing fishy is found in his actions. Is Musharraf past Pak President not being pursued even after he hung his uniform and laid down duties as President? .
Singh. Our country is different. Our actions are different. More over Wiki leaks are not authentic. How can we believe?
Patel. Only god can save this nation
Singh. Probably it is true. What did Lord Krishna say in Geetha? One should do Karma and not bother for actions. We are doing our Karma.
Gandhi ( Beats his fore head) This is our Kharma ( Fate in Telugu). God save us from these guys.
Patel. True Bapu. Let us go from here. Iam getting mad too.
Nehru. You guys must relax and know that politics is not that simple as you think.
Singh. OK Bapu and Patelji and Panditji. Bye Relax. I am going. After all I have to earn my bread. I have to be loyal. Mujhe kahanse kahan tak banadiya I Iam elevated from no where to this position). History will take its own beating. I am going. Bye
Gandhi. May god give you some good thoughts and useful wisdom.
( singh goes away)
Gandhi. Patel. Let us leave. Iam having head ache.
(The trio walks away)
CURTAIN FALLS
Dr K Prabhakar Rao
(Gandhi, Nehru and patel in Delhi are seen conversing near Red fort. They are dressed in usual dress and not in high spirits. )
Gandhi. Look Jawaharlal. You seem to be very quiet these days. What worries you always?
Nehru. What can I say?
Gandhi. Why. You are free man top talk and not under any binding.
Nehru. That is fine, but I am unhappy about the way you give lift to this Patel.
Gandhi. I never gave any lift to him.
Nehru. But it is so.
Gandhi. What made you think so?
Nehru. You always appreciate him. Mostly you agree with him and clap to his words
Patel. From now onwards we shall clap to whatever you utter.
Nehru. I never wanted like that.
Patel. Then why always give a constipated look?
Gandhi. Patel. Better use some good words for him.
Patel. I always truth.
Nehru. Eeee…eeee…aa… You guys make joke of me always. ( Sings in Saigal’s style)
You make mostly fool of me
Although I am not at all one
Always together are we
But you guys against me make fun
Gandhi. Jawaharlal. Please do not cry. We shall take care of it in future. (sings)
Cry not dear oh my cry baby
I shall sing to you few rhymes
Wipe your tears at once oh my young one
You shall be soon and enjoy the real fun
Patel. Hee. Hee.. That was great one.
(Nehru looks other way)
( They suddenly find Dr Manmohan singh walking on the road. Patel waves to Singh)
Patel. Hoi dear Singh Sahib. Namste. How are you?
( Man Mohan singh stops seeing Patel wishing him. He goes to the trio)
Man Mohan singh. Namaste sir. How are you all.
Patel. We are fine. How are you Mr singh in the second term as PM.
Singh. You are seeing things. Iam surviving daily.
Patel. I know that.
Singh. Not a single day passes without opposition making claims on my inefficiency.
Patel. Look Mr. Patel. Every guy reaches limit of efficiency at some time. You have already reached
Singh. Uh.. It is a curse to be the PM of this nation.
Gandhi, Iam happy you have realized.
Patel. On first count why you have accepted this thankless job.
Singh. Some one has to do this. If I do not do other guy will do. Pranab is in fact itching to be in my place. That guy can not speak Hindi properly. He also accepted it.
Gandhi. But Deve Gowda, the sleeping beauty was also a non Hindi speaking PM. But he was PM.
Singh. Hee.. He used to sleep while talking also. He was an expert in that art. He was happy like that. These are only excuses in fact.
Patel. Mr Singh. Now people are demanding your head after exposure by Wiki leaks.
Singh. Wiki is not bible. It si not Koran. It si not Geetha. That is all trash. How can we accept.
Patel. But these is some inner conciousness also.
Singh. Political leaders should not have any thing like that.
Patel. Ha..haa.. well said ( sings)
Political leaders after all are nuts
They are like dumb deaf and mute
They have to put a stone like face
Although some look very innocent and cute
Singh. Sir you are very strong in words. You were also such leaders at some time in past.
Patel. Leaders are today’s are different. These can not be compared. It is
like comparing an ass with horse.
Singh. Does it mean we are asses.
Patel. I did not say all. There are some ( sings)
Horse and ass are from same class
But they are of different make
An horse is agile and smart
While an ass looks like an horse that is fake.
Singh. So to t which class we must belong?
Patel. You know yourself.
Gandhi. Mr singh. Generally people say you are clean and honest. But you are surrounded by all murky men including those who run the show.
Singh. What can I say?
Gandhi. Look Mr Singh. You are highly educated. You are an outstanding economist. Then, why are you selling yourself. What for you are running?. What you want you toachieve? Are you heading for Nobel Prize? That will not come your way.
Singh. Sir Plesae do not curse me.. ee..ee..eee…aa..aa..
Gandhi. I am not cursing you. I am trying to enlighten you. I am trying to awaken you from sleep. You are like brown bear in winter that has gone into hibernation. Know your inner strengths. Probably you are like Hanuman and you are unable to recognize your own personality and strength.
Patel. What Bapu has said is very true. Know your self and act. The nations is passing through a very difficult phase and do not be carried away in the torrent of selfishness and dynastic sycophancy. You are already at the fag end of your career and probably life too as you is getting aged too. What else you want to achieve and attain accomplishments?
Singh. This has been very difficult for me. I know my weakness and have limitations.
Gandhi. Plesae recall the teachings of Swami Vivekananda and the great Gurus. Remember great Gobind singh Maharaj and his accomplishments against Aurangzeb. Remember his Zafar Nama. ( sings)
Oh Mr. Lion as your name says
Be a real lion and not a mere pussy cat
Be bold and uphold values in this state
And drive away all the corrupt rats
Patel. Hip.. Hip hurray. Great singing bapu, hats off to you. ( Claps loudly)
Gandhi. Plesae remember what I said. Do not vanish into dark pages of history. Be a man. That is expected out of you.
Singh ( Murmurs as usual in his own typical style as generally seen on TV shows)
Gandhi( Beats his fore head) Ohfo. What happened to all my preaching for the last one hour. This guys is not responding at al.
Patel. Bapu. He is a robot merely. Probably remote controlled. Our talk have flown over his turban unable to enter into it.
Gandhi. OK Singh sahib. Do as best as you could. Remember my words. You will not be remembered by Jee Hazzoori. You have to act that too forcefully. Plesae do not say that your parliament can not act over the past parliament actions. Men are the same in both parliaments. If a govt servant retires is he not pursued even after retirement if some thing fishy is found in his actions. Is Musharraf past Pak President not being pursued even after he hung his uniform and laid down duties as President? .
Singh. Our country is different. Our actions are different. More over Wiki leaks are not authentic. How can we believe?
Patel. Only god can save this nation
Singh. Probably it is true. What did Lord Krishna say in Geetha? One should do Karma and not bother for actions. We are doing our Karma.
Gandhi ( Beats his fore head) This is our Kharma ( Fate in Telugu). God save us from these guys.
Patel. True Bapu. Let us go from here. Iam getting mad too.
Nehru. You guys must relax and know that politics is not that simple as you think.
Singh. OK Bapu and Patelji and Panditji. Bye Relax. I am going. After all I have to earn my bread. I have to be loyal. Mujhe kahanse kahan tak banadiya I Iam elevated from no where to this position). History will take its own beating. I am going. Bye
Gandhi. May god give you some good thoughts and useful wisdom.

Gandhi. Patel. Let us leave. Iam having head ache.

INTO THE PAST WITH PAIN....198
INTO THE PAST WITH PAIN…198
Dr K Prabhakar Rao
(Gandhi, Nehru and Patel are seen in heavens and they are walking on a street. They see an old man lying on roadside. He is stocky, plump and appears to be a Brahmin. The trio goes to him)
Gandhi. Whoa re you sir? Why are you in this pathetic conditions.
Old man. Sir. Iam Adi kavi Nannayya. I hail from Rajhamundry. I was in the court of Chalukya king Raja Raja Narendra in 12 th century.
Gandhi. I heard about you sir. You are credited to have started translating Maha Bharatham from Sanskrit into Telugu on request by your king. I learnt that Narayana Bhatt helped you in your task.
Nannayya. Very true sir.
Patel. Sir . Why are you in this pathetic state? Why you are dumped at roadside? Who has done that?
Nannayya. I died long ago sir all of a sudden without completing my task and came here centuries ago. My statue was erected by NT Rama Rao on tank bund to honor me. Thanks to him.
Gandhi. That was really good. But recently some mad persons demolished the statue during an agitation for Telangana state..
Nannayya. What is my mistake sir? Is it because I was from coastal Andhra?
Gandhi. I feel sorry for it. Some miscreants and misguided persons have done it. I do not think all Telanganites subscribe to this type of vandalism.
Nannayya. Hope so sir.
Gnadhi. Soon your statue will be reerected at the same place.
Nannayya. Thank you sir for confidence building.
( The trio reassures Nannayya and he slowly walks away to his room. They start walking on the lane and they come across another person badly injured and lying on roadside. They rush to him and lift him up)
Patel. Who are you sir and why are you in this horrible state ?
Jashua. Sir My name is Gurram Jashua. I was a Telugu poet of past and belonged to 20 th century. My great work was Gabbilam. I am dalit earlier called Harijan by MK Gandhi.
Gandhi. That is me.
Patel. We heard about you sir. I also know that you went through great discrimination on caste basis.
Jashua. True sir. That was past. I have forgotten it. Sir My statue was demolished on Tank bund.aa…aa…aaa… ( sings)
My heart aches with great pain these days
I cry over peoples ways
I am sure I carry no blame
While my statue has become totally lame
Patel We are very sorry to know that and this was the work by some foolish and crank guys. They do not know your value sir. They are carried away by Telangana sentiments.
Jashua. Does it call for insulting us like this?
Patel. We are very sorry for it.
Jashua. I went through great humiliations throughout my life because I was a Dalit. Now I am persecuted because I am an Andhrite. How sad?
Patel. Hope God gives these guys some sense.
Jashua. I was no way concerned about Telangana or Andhra. I was dead long ago. How I am responsible for this agitation?
Gandhi. True sir. We have all sympathy. Your statue will be again erected there.
Joshua. No..no.. I do not want that, It will be demolished now and then. Better Iam left like this. These statues make no sense at all. Thanks sir for all the good words.
( Joshua gets up and slowly leaves and Gandhi wipes his tears. They start walking and reach Parkside and they see many people thrown as a heap. They rush to them. There they find CR Reddy, Raghupathi Venkat ratnam naidu, Sri Sri, Kandukuri Veeresha lingam, Gurajada Appa rao, Krishna deva raya, Annamcharya, Tyagayya, Erranna, Tikkanna, Kshetrayya, Ballari raghava, Shalivahana, Tripura neni, Mutnuri Krishan rao, and many more. All are seen crying loudly. They are badly disfigured, with broken legs and feet)
Gandhi. Patel and Jawaharlal. Please help them to their feet. They are lying one over the other. Some are badly bruised.
Patel. True Bapu.
( The guys are helped. Patel from a nearby pond gets them water and they drink and feel a bit better.)
Krishna Deva Raya. Is this the way these guys behave with us? I was a Telugu Emperor. Can they behave like this as we are dead. If I was alive I would have skinned the insane men who did this. ( He gets very angry and draws his sword and others prevent him and party to him to cool down).
Appa Rao. Strange indeed. What we have done to meet this fate. Did we ask NTR to erect our statues? Now they have shown the true colors right in front of Government. The present govt has no back pone to act strongly. They are just on lookers. Entire police force watched while we were insulted. Is this the way the deal law and order?
Patel. Sir. Every one knows about them. This is the state where police academy for IPS trainees is there. Hee..hee.. What training they can give to them?
Gandhi. Hee..hee..haa..haa
Appa Rao. Very true sir. You are correct.
Raghava. I was only an actor of drama and in no way concerned. In Hyderabad cinema most of the actors are from Andhra. Will they be driven out NTR and AKKINENI are from Andhra. Will they have no place in Hyderabad?
Patel. As per latest ideology that is the spirit.
(All the fallen leaders shout down with govt .. down with govt as it failed to contain the trouble makers.)
Gandhi. Please cool down guys. Iam MK Gandhi. The father of nation.
Mutnuri. From where you have come now? You were dead long ago.
Gandhi. True. I died. But I have power to appear again and again.
Mutnuri. Why. In what way you are useful?
Gandhi. Iam much pained at your words.
Mutnuri. Iam least bothered . Look at our fate. Can you stop this agitation that si going on
Gandhi. Probably I can not. All have rights to express grievances in democracy.
Mutnuri. But this is no way.
Patel. It is the new method . Old methods have vanished.
Appa Rao. Shame on you guys.
Krishna deva raya. If I come to power again I shall teach each guy a lesson for life time.
Patel. You will not get a chance again.
Deva Raya. They have to pay for ill deeds.
Patel. They think these are great deeds.
Gandhi. Why boil blood sir. Kindly forgive these guys. Jesus said. Oh father forgive them as they do not know what they are doing.
Appa Rao. It is easy to say. However you have quoted Jesus the great. We respect him. We forgive this vandalism. Plesae go and leave us here.
Gandhi. Thank you sir. You guys are very great.
Appa Rao. That’s I why our statues were erected.
Patel. Thanks guys. Thanks again. Bye

.THEME SONG OF RULERS
THEME SONG OF RULERS
Dr K Prabhakar Rao
We are here to screw this beleaguered nation
And deny poor of the country simple rations
We always stick to chairs with fevicol like glue
At the call of elections we get immediate flue
We made great promises at elections
Spent crores of rupees and won the selections
We run for influential posts and berths
And without any work we want all perks
We promote daughters, concubines sons and wives
Under our clothes we have hidden sharp knives
We do not hesitate to stab friends in the back
And in all types of morals we surely lack
Once elected we care for hoots
To our fans we show our worn out dirty boots
The electorate keeps sucking their thumb
While our mental faculties get always dud and numb
We tour our areas to show our shady presence
Although we lack mere commonsense
At these places we are fed with chicken and booze
While terrorists with our help escape the noose
In day time we speak morals without stop in spate
While in dark hours the plans are made to loot the state
Tons of money is stacked away from the mother land
And in all types of scams one can find our dirty hand
Let the nation go to dogs and hogs
And most of us become dead logs
The world laughs at us for our miserable conduct
While our senses have become dull from the closed ducts
Like nuts we try to show off to the visiting heads of state
They surely laugh at our country’s fate
We bend and brush shoes of the party bosses
Although many feel they are mere simple asses
Once in an year to Gandhis greaveyard we go to spin yarn
In the evening all are busy munching pop corn
The nights are spent in drinking dancing and booze
While we are all busy with our heads gone loose
Foolish Indians vote for us again and again
They are like simple clowns dancing in rain
Indians can be fooled eternally by guys like we
They can be purchased at a price whatever it be

INTO THE PAST WITH PAIN…197
Dr K Prabhakar Rao
(Gandhi, Nehru and patel are in Nagpur and are seen walking on the road. There is some tension on the road. Some guys aree seen shouting slogans Down with Dhoni.. Down…… Down Dhoni…)
Gandhi. Patel. What happened? Who is this Dhoni? What he has done?
Patel. Bapu. Dhoni is Indians Cricket Captain.
Gandhi. Why down with him? Is he involved in any scam? As it is every where guys are involved in scams.
Patel. No Bapu. He is not that type. A poor guy and he is a good guy. The team has lost to South Africa in yesterday's world cup match.
Gandhi. What is so big about it? Loosing and winning is part of any game. Why get upset about it?
Patel. Bapu. In India, Cricket is the most popular game. Indians want Indian team to win always.
Gandhi. How this is possible? Even best teams have lost some time or other.
Patel. I agree. But this time the match was very much in the hands of Indian team. India won the toss and elected to bat. The opening batsmen Sehwag and Sachin played great game and gave India a flying start. Sehwag made dashing 64 runs while Sachin blasted a century his 48 the hundred in ODI matches. India was 261 for one wicket and everything was going in India’s favor. Gambhir also made half century and were going strong. Every one expected a very great score from Indians.
Gandhi. Then what happened?
Patel. Indian team suddenly slumped from 261 for one wicket to 296 all out. 9 wickets fell for mere 35 runs. A big shame.
Gandhi. Strange indeed. How such things happen. There were many good batsmen even after Sachin and Gambhir. Have they not played?
Nehru. They also played.
Patel. What is this word also?
Nehru. I mean they also went into bat with a bat and gloves. They went to crease stood there, danced for some time made mockery of themselves and the nation and threw their wickets.
Patel. True. There were good batsmen such as Kohli, Raina, Yuvraj and dhoni too apart from Harbhajan and few hitters.
Gandhi, Did they not hit runs?
Patel. They tried to hit air instead of cricket ball. They only swung wildly as if in hurry the bat into air.
Gandhi. this is bad. I can not believe this that 9 wickets fell for 35 runs.
Patel. In the end only Dhoni was sucking his thumb while players known for batting failed miserably. One should feel sorry for Harbhajan who swing wildly and was bowled. I failed to know what for they were there?
Gandhi. I am sure these guys are much pampered.We have to know wheteher ther was any scam in thsi show? Indians over expect from them.
Patel. I really ascam has taken place in thsi match. But people doubt. Bapu. In their last two matches they struggled to win against second rate teams.
Nehru. Naturally irked up fans curse the batsmen who let down the team. So they are justified in shouting Dhini down.. down
Patel. Hats off to Sachin, the greatest batsman of all times. He hit his hundred with such masterly art and determination. Other nuts except Gambhir and Sehwag were smothered by the South Africans. These nuts have let us down this time.
Nehru. India lost by 3 wickets. If these guys have made another twenty runs India would have won the match. 291 runs is not a score to defend against South Africa. The match was close but the result favored them. India did not deserve to win.
Gandhi. the better team won. Dhoni and his men have to do introspection. Where was the hurry for them to get out. Even if they have taken singles they would have built huge score and India would have won. Every one wants to hit six out of every ball. That is the problem with Indian team. They have not applied themselves, dhoni failed to guide and advise his men. It was his failure. Failures should be taken instride and should learn from them. These should not be repeated.
Patel. Hope these nuts will learn a lesson.
Nehru. Invariably Indian team will not learn.
Gandhi Then writing on the wall should be read. World cup can not be won by dreaming and playing like this.
Patel. I agree.
Gandhi. May god give them some sense and wisdom. If guys do not want to learn no one can help them. Indians should not play fancy shots and get out. This is what they did. The same thing Gawaskar said in his remarks.
Patel. Hee..hee. OK Bapu. Let us go. People are much irked up. Better to go home.
Gandhi. OK Bye
(The trio quickly walks off singing Ramdhun)

Gandhi. the better team won. Dhoni and his men have to do introspection. Where was the hurry for them to get out. Even if they have taken singles they would have built huge score and India would have won. Every one wants to hit six out of every ball. That is the problem with Indian team. They have not applied themselves, dhoni failed to guide and advise his men. It was his failure. Failures should be taken instride and should learn from them. These should not be repeated.
Patel. Hope these nuts will learn a lesson.
Nehru. Invariably Indian team will not learn.
Gandhi Then writing on the wall should be read. World cup can not be won by dreaming and playing like this.
Patel. I agree.
Gandhi. May god give them some sense and wisdom. If guys do not want to learn no one can help them. Indians should not play fancy shots and get out. This is what they did. The same thing Gawaskar said in his remarks.
Patel. Hee..hee. OK Bapu. Let us go. People are much irked up. Better to go home.
Gandhi. OK Bye
