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,

What would they name it ?



Mahatma Gandhi named his autobiography ,


"  My  Experiments  with  Truth  "


If some of our politicians were to author their own biography ( - even if actually written by ghost writers ) , what would they name it  ?


Here is my guess  :


>  Man Mohan Singh...............     In Search of Silence


>  Sonia Gandhi....................     The Guns are Booming


>  Robert Vadra ( Kin-politico )..  From landless to landlord in 40 days


>  Suresh Kalmadi...................  The Game Theory


>  Pawan Bansal  ....................  Toofaan  Mail


>  Shriprakash Jaiswal.............   The Dark Matter Underground


>  Ashwini Kumar....................  Superior to Supreme


>  Kapil Sibal..........................  Two-timing Lawyer


>  P Chidambaram..................   Re-Count  to  Re-Instate


>  Kamal Nath ......................    A Road Less Travelled


>  Prafulla Patel.....................    Gone with the Wind


>  A Raja.............................     Last Come , First Served


>  Dayanidhi Maran.................  Quid- pro- Quo


>  Kanimozi...........................   Father Knows Best


>  Jayalalithaa........................  Heaven - for those who touch my feet


>  Mamta Banerjee................    The Triumph of the Lawless


>  Narendra Modi..................... Gujarat - that is India

>  Arvind Kejriwal.................... AK-49 and lesser Weapons


>  Mayawati......................     Maya and Maya-Jaal



Feel free to add to the list



In case they decide to come out with their biographies , one thing is certain


Royalty percentage will need to be the same - or more - than the percentages that they are used to get so far  !


And , the branding rights will be sold separately  !


What with the way current Lok Sabha elections are going , most of these Netas will have plenty of time on hand to pen their travails  !


Don't miss the next year's Jaipur Literature Festival
