What a waste…

…of taxpayers’ (read MY) money. Sonia Gandhi will resign from The Parliament, then resign from some super-powered advisory committee, and then contest elections again. Wow…

Of course, thankfully in a country such as ours, things will never come to such a pass. Some men wearing unhygenic, white hand-towels on their scalp will sit on Dharna (a Indian community squatting festival) outside her residence. Fasts will begin wherein some fat ladies will go on an unplanned and much needed crash diet. Those with higher levels of zeal and political aspirations with try to immolate themselves. Of course, one mustn’t take these creatures loosely, they are the future of Indian politics- that is, if Indian politics has a future. Finally, in the wake of this unprecented and very public display of adulation, The Lady will relent.

Of course, the biggest beneficiary of all this will be The Great Indian Media. Hopefully, NDTV will recycle its news and features every two hours instead of the usual 45 minutes. Or perhaps we can look forward to a few days of this and nothing else on TV.

Truly… It happens only in India.
