Incredible grandma

Grand ma called me last night out onto the balcony....

G:  Son, No ordinance or Lokpal will ever improve the Lot of Indians...

I:   But Grandma.....

G:   Putr sun...beech mein mat bol...more laws means more FIRs, more investigations, more litigation with same police, same judiciary, same everything....don’t you see the humbug and skewed thinking.....

I:   Ha! I see your point....

G:  No you don’t.  In my younger days there was this movie “The Good The bad and The ugly”...It was a Western and some of those cowboys talked more sense than many of our leaders.....

I: Now come on Grandma....

G: Don’t underestimate these cowboys (or cowherd or Shepherd)...they know their beans...even in this world historically the greatest teachers had careers tending the bovines...

I: OK...OK.. what about this movie?...

G:   In this movie there is a scene where Eli Walach (a great actor of those days..Not handsome but effective...) was lying in a bathtub when his enemy entered the bathroom with gun drawn...

I:  What sort of an intelligent guy this cowboy...not even latching the bathroom door...

G:  Don’t you see this every time in Hollywood movies; if the bathroom door is latched how can one include script worthy cashable scenes in the movie .....

I:  Ha! I get it.....

G:  Ok. Don’t imagine too much...so Eli Walach was staring up the small barrel of a shot gun aimed at his you know where....

I:  Hi! Hi! ...

G:  And this guy who was aiming the gun at Eli was gloating over how he will soon send Eli to hell et al.. when Eli pulled out a gun ( a real gun) out of the water and shot his nemesis dead..and for good measure mouthed “ When you hold a gun shoot don’t talk...”

I:  SO Grandma what this has to do with India?

G:   Everything my son, everything! Now listen “The problem in incredible India is NOT corruption but the absence of real Governance....” ( my Grandma says...and goes on to suggest the following measures to make India truly incredible....)

1. India should unequivocally announce in the UN Assembly that the state of J&K is historically and legally integral to the polity of India and add that a sovereign state never negotiated its territory. The shock and awe that will follow the statement will signal the arrival of a new and resurgent India ready to lead the world through the twenty first century. Then after the dust settles down ask Pak to leave POK.

2. Internally, India should deal with situations with an iron glove and only for the Nation’s interest.  The secessionist Hurriyat leaders should be given an option to either participate in the impending General elections in J&K or face sedition charges.

3. Afzal Guru, a terrorist convicted of masterminding an attack on the Indian parliament should be executed at the earliest.

4. Bring in a bill / ordinance banning religious and extremist groups directly or indirectly participating in politics.

5. The problem within the country is of un-employability and not unemployment. Revamp the education system such that after 15years of education (Graduate) the person becomes employable with acquired skill sets.
