Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

Pied Piper of Gujarat !




Naresh Agrawal ( Samajwadi Party ) says,


"  Any Madaari can attract crowds  /  A tea-vendor cannot have perspective of national issues  / Even if a Sipahi becomes a Kaptan , his thinking will continue to be that of a Sipahi "


May be Agrawal does not consider Tea-Vendor  /  Madaari  /  Sipahi to be respectable professions  !


Apparently , he believes that a tea-vendor's son must continue with his father's profession only  !

How dare he aspire to become  the Prime Minister of India ?


But Narendra Modi is playing a haunting tune


"  Congress hatao , Surajya lao  "


And millions of voters are coming out of their homes to listen to him , making the likes of Agrawal squirm


There is a good chance that voters will follow NaMo to the polling booths and kiss the lotus  !


Why should that happen ?


>   People attending the rallies of NaMo belong to hundreds of "respectable"
      professions such as ,



      *   Welder  /  Carpenter  /  Mason  / Electrician  /  Plumber


      *   Vegetable vendor  /  Dudhwala  /  Paperwala  /  Courier-boy


      *   Delivery boy  /  Bus Conductor  /  Sales Girl /  Receptionist


      *   Panbidi shop owner  /  Tyre Repairer  /  Boot-polish boy


      Endless others . And all earning an honest livelihood


>    These professionals feel terribly offended / insulted by Agrawal running
      down their trades / skills / vocations


>    They are all fed-up of corrupt / criminal / power hungry politicians


>    Forthcoming elections ( State / National ) are their only chance to prove
      Agrawal wrong and re-write their own future


Obviously , likes of Agrawal feel haunted by the tune of the Pied Piper of Gujarat and feel doomed to oblivion  !
