A missing Doctor and an ever present Yoga teacher

So much happening in this nation and the person who is supposed to take the responsibility to set everything in order is not to be seen?  No. We are not talking about the most powerful lady in the world. We are talking about a doctor. Actually we wanted to title this “is there a Doctor in the house” or “Doctor Doctor give me the news”. Doctor Doctor is one of our favourite songs for now. Ever since we heard that song in Scrubs we have been fans of the song. OK topic.. We are looking for not just any doctor. The doctor who is running the house. OK not exactly running. Dancing would be the better word. He is the Muppet in the Italian hands. MMS as he is known in youth of this age. Dr Man Mohan Singh. Where is he? Where has he gone? Has madam grounded him as punishment for something?  Or Is he waiting for Madam to send the dialogues and screenplay?

How spineless is our prime minister? And how sad is it that even Devegowda looks like a brave PM when compared? It is very sad indeed. We had Anna fast his way to get Jan Lokpal. With that being going on like a stuck record, we now have the Yogaman coming out to fast. Seriously. How bad is the situation for UPA?  You have to acknowledge that it is grave. Next election will be very interesting to watch. What’s with Baba Ramdev anyway? Doesn’t he have a Yoga class to teach? OK now you would ask us to stop and be reasonable. Surely he is doing it for the nation you think. Well, he may. We don’t know/ but we think this is pathetic. When he talks about Swiss bank and black money, surely he hasn’t realized his own worth. His worth is estimated at several hundred crores and the man owns an entire friggin’ island.

If you want to talk about self-worth and being clean and stuff, surely you should show your wealth first. And you being the owner of several hundred crores, cannot act like a messiah of poor by stretching your stomach and folding yourself like a chair. Now, you think we have over done it a little. We say sod off. We stick by our opinion. He may have showed lot of people how to keep themselves in good health and stuff. Interesting and good for him. But it is the same man who called homosexuality a sickness and wanted to cure it. The same guy who said he can cure cancer by Yoga. The same guy who wanted to replace sex education in schools with Yoga. Clearly kids, how do you stop teenage pregnancy? Try Shalabhasana*. Understand that we are not against Baba Ramdev the Yoga guy. But we are not supporting him as a corruption fighter and his morals.

Now he is not happy with the khavi. He wants to don Khadi as well. His followers are already in halla bol mode now that he has been arrested.  Ramdev has decided to have his supporters contesting the elections. His party called Swabhimaan Abhiyaan will contest next Lok Sabha elections. His party will cleanse the political system, fight corruption and win the next Lok Sabha election it seems. Clearly the public is facing the case of choosing lesser of the devils. You have the Ruling party which is busy shooting itself in its foot and the opposition which is more helpless than a guy who dropped soap in prison bath. While we hope the Anna does provide a way, we are not sure how and when. And we are also not sure how much time it will take for Ramdev to align himself with another political party.

Also, did u see the news about a Janardhan Dwivedi? Heard the name before? Don’t worry. Not many had heard either. Somebody threw a show at him and suddenly he has become famous. He is using this situation for political gain very well. Already the blame has been made on Ramdev’s fans, the BJP, the RSS. He can become the next Diggy raja. Speaking of Diggy Raja, you can surely expect some fireworks from the man who puts the mad in madness . He has come out and said Ramdev is a cheat who is trying agitate people. Now now. Diggy Raja is the last person you would expect to talk some sense. And it is true. He has wasted no time in calling Ramdev a RSS man and also defended the tear gas and baton usage of police on the Ramdev supporters as “in public interest”.

This is where we need someone to step up and bring some peace. We have people like Sibal and Diggy Raja who want to prove everything is done by BJP/RSS and some certain people are the weakest and cleanest bunch of people. We have the opposition which is busy dancing at Satyagrahas or trying to save Yeddi. We have rest of the regional parties fighting between themselves to show who is the boss in their states. WTF is happening? Where is that person who is supposed to restore normalcy? Hiding in some closet? We always felt that he was a good economist but not a politician. Forget about Ramdev entering politics. We want Dr Singh to enter politics first. He should stop hiding behind madam and face the field. This is where we miss Atalji. We are going ahead and naming him the best PM the country ever had. And we want him to find some anti-ageing solution and become young and lead us again. Yes. We would love that.


* We do not know. It was meant as a joke. Now we feel it may be a bit tasteless but we are not going to erase. We feel we may just have proved that we have more balls than the man who is leading us by just being firm about our choice of joke. Yes. That's how bad we feel the UPA leadership is.
