It's a Saturday morning, and you are having your morning tea.
The newspaper is lying on the table; untouched, but you are not interested to even peep into it - कारण रोज फक्त बैठकाच होतात, निकाल कही लागत नाही...
So, you switch on the idiot-box, and while changing channels, you coincidentally tune into a Marathi News show (yes, in this TRP Hungry era, News broadcast is also a kind of a show...)
”सरकारबांधणी अजून कगदावरंच... पण मुख्यमंत्री मात्र, एक मुंबईकरंच होणार, हे निश्चित!” the news anchor reads. You are not bothered, you wish that they should come to a decision soon. After all, it's almost a month that the results of the election are out and no government is formed yet. And it's a bad sign for the जानता to know that the administration is running without a CM.
But then, you tell yourself, “मित्रा, तू कशाला टेन्शन घेतोस, ती powerबाज लोकं बघतील काय करायचं ते... तू तुझं बघ आधी...” and you go to your favourite morning destination, after all, चाय पीने से pressure बनता है, भाई!
After enjoying your time in the washroom, you see that the same news show is still on but, there is one significant change in the Breaking News which was flashed a few minutes back and that which is shot right now.
All equations had changed...
बघतो तर काय,
ते पुन्हा आले...
तरीच पु.ल. म्हणून गेले होते,
“खरा नागपूरकर हा नागपूरला राहत नाही...”
असो,
पण politics काय असतं
आणि, ५६ सीट व ५६ इंची छातीत काय फ़रक असतो,
हे आज समजलं...
P.S. When I am entirely apolitical,
जे सुचले, ते लिहिले...
With only one hope that this alliance of completely different ideologies should last for the complete 5-year term.
JAI HIND!
JAI MAHARASHTRA!
