Realization
We everywhere are angry for every possible reason exists in this planet (in some of the cases the reasons are out of this world type). But the politicians are much more hyper today as the countrymen could not realize how difficult it becomes for them to uphold the democratic rights of everybody.
Here is a little something—a fictitious incident where a helpless as well as a naïve citizen got a little treatment from a celebrity-politico for his ignorance about the current democratic condition of this country.
“Sir, I was waiting at the bus-stand. Three rouges in a taxi stopped suddenly beside me. They got down, snatched my everything and zoomed away. Everything gone............my watch, my money, my golden specs!!........Look, I’m here just with my vest and underwear.â€
“What can I do?â€
“That place has become a hunting ground for them. Please do something.â€
“What something? Can’t you see ‘Democracy’ is very helpless? How could you think of robbing off people’s democratic rights in this time?â€
“But they took my everything and left me as a naked fakir?â€
“Did they strip the very democratic right off you?â€
“My democratic right?â€
“Yes...yes. Your right to vote. Were they able to take off your voting right? That glitters on your finger-tip once in every five year?â€
“Then what to do now?â€
“Nothing. Just wrap this news paper around your loin and go home. Close your eyes and pray for ‘democracy’. Say, ‘Hey God I wish I could cast my vote as long as I’ll be alive—come what may.’ All raise your voices ‘We are meant for sacrificing our entire life for vote.’ O.K. sweetie-pie? You can’t imagine how awfully lovely you look in this paper-skirt?â€
P. S. I could not resist the temptation of sharing this conversation which I actually heard some years back.
