Nobel Prize for Indians

That came as a surprise, but not an unpleasant one. It is amazing what hope one guy can bring with him. And what strong political will can bring about! YES WE CAN represents the new age mantra and raises hopes of a happier future for kids all over the world.
And then we have our Indian Politicians. YES WE CAN translates into so many actionable points for them , though I doubt if any of these will fetch them a place in civilised history!
YES WE CAN – make our families rich for generations by stealing all the money that belongs to the people of this country. So what if there is no public infrastructure – my family has land, houses, cars and pots and pots of filthy money!
- YES WE CAN create issues out of air – Marathi manoos vs rest of India, Tharoor twitting away, SRK getting held up at the airport. Who cares if Mumbaikars are struggling to get to work each day or women are unsafe in Delhi?
- YES WE CAN delay things that do not suit our purpose – Roti , Kapda aur Makaan for people, clearing out slums, building in time for the Commonwealth Games.
- YES WE CAN – create nuisance – Ram Sena that thought it was immoral of girls to go to a bar, MNS that can make powerful Karan Johar come to him instead of following the law of the land, MNS that threatens the OZ team.
- YES WE CAN be brazen about anything in this country – creating parks and statues for ourselves, our fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters; flying business and first and throwing attitude, shutting the sealink for the lords of this country to pass thru, or inconveniencing all of delhi because we are unprepared for commonwealth games.
- YES WE CAN – keep quiet about things that may put us in a tight spot – so noone has the courage to tell the Thackerays to lay off, to demolish slums, to come down heavily on the bureaucracy that does not work.
- YES WE CAN use all public machinery for only our people. So, satellites, helicopters –the work were looking for one YSR Reddy, but there was nothing when Mumbai was attacked.
Obama got a nobel prize for raising hope! And regular Indians also deserve a Nobel Prize – for eternal hope. Hope that someday, we will have a government that performs, that there will be roti , kapda and makaan for all, that kids will learn in school, that there will be jobs and healthcare for all!
