HISTORY REPEATS

In 2001 ,we were going on the Tidel park to Mathya kailash road and my mom was cursing herself for having come out on that "auspicious" day.She was preparing herself to face any hooliganism and she would not have taken aback the least if a crew stopped us and broke our car glasses.We saw people running with boxes,ya,the ballot boxes.Yes, it was the day of mayoral election,where Stalin was the main candidate.We were amazed to learn later that he dared not come out of his house.
Now it is 2006.Same election.Same arrogance,violence,same hooligans.The irony is that the one who played the key role then,the one who had wowed to defeat the 'son'[sun] had shifted side to offer his war strategy and play the major part to defeat the leaf.He was the sole cause for the Mayor being stripped of his gown.And now!! Thanks, Gandhi was shot dead and Bharathi should thank the elephant for saving them to witness this farce called elections.And we are free, we are independent. And we are proud to be INDIANS.
