Did I Not Tell You This Before?

I am the one having the last laugh!

Did I not tell you? You will feel let down at the end of this struggle! The same way as our freedom fighters felt after independence!

What was achieved? Most probably the only thing that you are left with is the extra knowledge that there is some thing called as "civil society". Whatever that may be!

Kejriwal, our young hero has been criticized for delaying Anna from breaking his fast because of his long speech.

Kiran Bedi, the former top cop, has been criticized for her loose tongue.

Swami Agniwesh is being called as a traitor, wheeler-dealer, middle man and what not!

And what was that with a dalit and muslim girl on dais with Anna to give him coconut water. Was that not theatrics? Was it necessary?

Parliament is going to sit on the new bill for next umpteen years.

And if you think Sushma Swaraj and Arun Jaitley are on your side, then trust me they are not. Both are supreme court lawyers. They are SUPER TRAINED liars. Much in the league of Kapil Sibbal.

So don't waste your time.

The solution is not going to be in changing the system. The solution is in changing your self. Think micro you will achieve the macro!

If you are feeling angry because you feel cheated, forget it. You will face this anger again and again and again and again.

Anna is a good guy! He is 74+. He was hungry for 10+ days. My head hurts if I skip my lunch! But do not look at him as the hero you want him to be. Don't think of him as Gandhi. Gandhi could get away with a million things (read his "Experiments with Truth"). If Anna is anything less than a saint then he will be crucified by the media.

Patience is the key! Things will improve. But remember, every body will have to do his/her part!

There is no savior around. And most likely there won't be one for next so many years!

Keep the flame burning!! (Just joking! Kill it. Don't add to the green house gases!)

The Anna questions

Anna Hazare is the theme for the day,maybe the week, or may be the month! But will it last beyond that. Should people like me join this "struggle"?
Or is it just another problem or a glitch which Indian politicians will overcome in next few days and continue to run amok as they have done for so many days?
Will we be left in the lurch as we have been by so many groups?
Will Anna, 15 years down the line say that he was sorry for the actions he is doing now, like BJP now says to it's muslim voters for Babri Masjid?
Will we believe that we are going to change everything and end up with no changes? Did my parents not feel when VHP used to come to their doorstep and tell them that they were going to create a "hindu rashtra"?
Will the gandhi topi guys tomorrow stop paying money at the toll nakas, by merely pointing to their caps?
Will Kejriwal and Kiran Bedi, stand by Anna or will they start on a parallel track once they achieve their targets? Didn't Nehru do this?
Will this put another family as the pseudo royal family of Indian politics?
Will students, employees, and many others use this as an excuse for not working?
Will this lead to an organization which will be so powerful that it will convert our pseudo- democracy to an Autocratic state?
There are so many questions in my mind! I am one of those guys who is on the sideline waiting and watching.
How long will I wait?
