You are voting tommorrow right? asked an unruly character in my office for the 100th time. I tried my level best to put up a smile and nod, where as actually I wanted to show him the finger which may get inked tomorrow. The fact that some people can assume the right to tell you what to do and take a call on whats right /wrong vexes me big time. They are the bovine farts who are as hollow as the rest of us .Their only claim to righteousness being lighting two fucking candles in their vernadah after watching "Rang De Basanti" for the zillionth time. Don't mistake me to be a radical! I am not saying dont vote, it is none of my business to do so; if you are old enough to vote then you are surely wise enough to know how to exercise your right!.
Lets take a step back here and figure out why these useless sacks around us have suddenly turned into activists (namesake). Its probably because they think it's 'COOL' (the 'in-thing'). And why do they think so? because this is what the TV journalists, our role models (Read actor, actresses - no pun inteneded here!) have been babbling lately, this what the most read newspaper 'Delhi Times' has been trying to shove down our throats. They are doing the right thing in encouarging people to 'excercise their right to vote', by excercise I mean doing the proper due dilligence figuring out who the candidates are... what they have done so far etc etc...and then judicously using the sacrosanct right. But, oblivious of these things, chintus, bittus and mintoos want to vote and force others to vote because doing so makes them look 'HAAP', the louder they are in asking someone to vote the 'HAAPER' they are.
We have become the 'India TV' generation. We embody the key charcteristic feature of 'India TV', the very channel we love to hate and that feature is ' Nautanki' , jitni karwa loo hum say kam hain. "Yaar pata hain kal India TV main kya dikhaya....(why the hell do you watch it if you think its that frivlous...does Rajat Sharma give you a bamboo if you dont). So all u "Barkha Dutt" acolytes out there who indulge in such fake activism to gain acceptability, kindly jump of our butts and let us make up our mind for ourselves. If I have to choose between 2 scoundrels, I am gonna choose none! I am not going to walk to the election booth and favor one a hole over another, I'll rather watch 'RDB' and light candles at home!
Seedhi baat, no bakwas...clear hain??
