Anna could borrow a leaf from Shakespeare !

‘Evil that men do lives after them , good is often interred with their bones .’ ,
wrote Shakespeare , in one of many plays that neither me nor Anna have read !

He could be writing about the effects of Anna Nautanki on our not so lovable country .
Any good that will come out of Anna’s Sagar Manthan will be interred with Anna’s bones but the mamoth damage his agitation will bring will last for ever .
On the other hand any damage done by Raja , say pocketing of Rs 500 crores , will be interred with his bones but the good from his deeds will last for ever , lectured Guru Shukracharya , to his influential pupils in power in the dev bhumi ie Bharatvarsha .

But Guruji Anna is the new Bapu , same simplicity , missionary zeal , same magic on youth as well as old , same gandhi cap , same insistence on purity of means as well as end ?
How can he or his campaign cause any damage to nation ?, asked Sita Kumari , a fifteen years old girl , as pure as her name , captivated by her cherished desire to see a great honest country , India.
Isn’t he trying to cleanse our nation so that we can be a great country again !, I want to be proud of my country , tweeted Sita , obviously a green eyed youth who has not yet seen the world .

True , true , Anna’s motives were never a suspect nor were his means said Shukracharya , but he is as good as pure sugar but in a nation that is suffering from diabities . Tell me is there anything wrong with Sugar ? asked Shukracharya . But then why does it kill , continued Shukracharya smilingly .
We have to know our country just as a doctor has to know his patients .We are not in Gandhi’s land but in Sonia Gandhi’s land , Sita, said Guru Shukracharya.
But how can a Lok Pal damage our country ?, How can honesty ever harm?
asked credulous Sita
Simple Sita , explained Shukrachrya .
Suppose Raja pocketed Rs 500 crores . He gave 450 crores to his party . Party distributed free Sarees in election to all voters . Raja got a palace made from his money giving employment to unemployed youth
Now look at positive side . The companies got spectrum at low price . They could not keep profits as competition made them reduce tariff . Finally you are able to chat with your NRI brother for half an hour . If Raja had auctioned it you would talk once in a week for three minutes as nation used to do earlier . Also even if the so called Rs175000 crores were spent by government , only ten percent would have reached masees . Rest would have gone to babus .
Have you not gained by Raja’s actions? tell me honestly , asked Shukracharya with a menacing smile .
OK , I agree that finally nation may benefit more by low spectrum price but how lok pal will harm the nation ?
Sita was in no mood to accept defeat .
Sita , our nation is already suffering from lack of will , boldness and slow decision making .By his harping on corruption constantly only honest officer are getting scared . No one is wanting to take decision lest he is blamed for any error . Government is totally paralysed . Earlier business men like Dhirubhai were able to make Patalganga by may be bribing Srimati Gandhi , but now no industrialist will do anything . Jailing them is a disaster brought to nation that will hurt for fifty years atleast . They were used to system and were delivering .Now we only have anarchy .

It is not for nothing that Shukracharya is the most sought after guru . He cannot be defeated in arguments .

But why could Raja not just distribute spectrum without bribe ? ,asked Sita

Because his party needed money and he had to pay for distributing free sarees to one crore voters. Voters want free gifts for votes . How can Rajas give them free sarees if they donot take money .People are at fault by harbouring unrealistic expectations , not Rajas .Why jail Raja for fulfilling people’s wish for sarees ! Aren’t our leaders supposed to fulfill people’s dreams .
Shukracharya was not to lose any argument .
But Gandhiji stopped freedom movement just because people killed one policeman at Chaura Chauri . He did not take wrong means for right ends . Why couldn’t Raja’s party do the same ? ,asked Sita , innocently .

Because Sita , we are lead by Sonia Gandhi not Gandhi . Forget Gandhi now . Now I am getting late for an appointment with her . So today’s class is over .
Just one more question , sir , will Rahul Gandhi be another Gandhi or another Sonia Gandhi .

No dear , only an Avtaar can change our country , it has gone too much down the drain .

Sir , Sir , just last question , could Anna be the Avtaar we have been waiting for ?
No dear , हमारे पापों का घड़ा अभी पूरा नहीं भरा है ,अभी कुछ और दिन विदेशी शासन मैं रहना है , इन्तिज़ार करो प्रार्थना करो

मैं प्रार्थना नहीं करुँगी , लडूंगी ,
सीता , राम लीला मैदान की तरफ चल दी
