Of The Modi’fied


People in India have tendency to get way too overwhelmed, be it channelling abuses on yuvraj after losing a match or being impressed by the “attitude” of some obnoxious character on Madhubala serial thingy. The point i am driving home is Indians need to idolise or reprimand some oneto justify the conditions they live in. Be it the obsession with shahrukh-salman rivalry ( as if sensex would fall if they didn’t greet each other ) or the rants against Yuvraj ( Bottomline : Sri Lankans had come to play too!). The last nail to drive in the coffin is this Modi wave which has “modi’fied “ the common perception as if Akshay kumar has come to save the chineese ( which was Equally pathetic scenario btw!!). I mean,the guy packs a punch for now,i did vote him for tactical reasons but i don’t believe the “chosen one “ is here with a lotus in his hand. Its fashionable to state the Gujarat model though the guy might not know capital of Gujrat.The guy who couldn’t tell Nitish Kumar from Ram Vilas Paswan is suddenly an expert on how seasoned modi is and how novice kejriwal is ,just because its on Facebook. Apparently, a lot happens on facebook nowadays as it offers flexible option for prayers ,respect,ridicule (One like = One prayer? Seriously ! get off your butt and do the real thing). People are anticipating modi as if all their problems will vanish magically once Modi occupies the office. My barber,for one,believes his municipality officer will somehow become less arrogant when modi comes  to power( I wonder if that would apply on Anu malik !). Apparently ,acchhe din aane wale hain. I overheard an engineering student asking If Modi would provide subsidised Daaru for engineers or increase female quota in NIT’s. The statement was followed by a rant worded as “Ghanta Achhe din aane wale hain”. The advertisements are getting on my nerves,what are they gonna do next time? Sponsor cricket series? Or get featured in Krishh 4 ( Krishh is more of a catalogue,less of a movie).Not to mention,there are music videos now stating the achievements of BJP/Modi,its highly likely Madhur Bhandarkar might direct a movie on the Subect !

So,the point to be made is VOTE,NOT GLOAT,leave that to leaders !
