The not so Big Picture

It has been quite a many days now watching the election bulletin on news channels, segregated columns in journals, proving this being the biggest elections so far.For me this one is the second election, I’d be chasing and the improvement can certainly been seen on the following grounds-

Film stars have now sorted a back up profession, once they realize they are old enough to take it and can have black & white multiple accounts.
(Sanjay Dutt’s recent “Dutt yatra” sawaari took 3 crores for decoration)

Politicians like Raj Thackrey are enrolling themselves for voice modulation & oratory skill classes, after facing a major threat of inferiority from youngsters like Varun Gandhi, who have successfully adopted the “instant” mantra.

Bollywood is moving slow not because of the recession but because the stars are been signed for election campaigns, the locations are been pre-booked for rallies, printers are very busy and that has resulted in bigger deals for dress designers & music directors.

The target audience this time has shifted to young educated elite class rather than the illiterate ones, and so the 'salespeople' of various parties are being seen outside several colleges tracking students.

From 1 kg rice to villagers, it has now switched to 1 laptop to freshers & and hwo knows may be a Nano next time.

Also no effect of the economic slowdown is visible on politicians for they are spoilt with several opportunities in hand by the newborn baby parties and certainly better packages.

Kasab will be well groomed by the next elections to participate, but the fight is still on between S.P. & B.S.P. to decide who will takehim in .

This is the modernized version of the political scenario today, where showing off seems the ultimate goal, a party is projected no less than an attractive commodity, and of course politicians are one of the most expensive hero’s.

It won’t be a nightmare, if the next time we see Rakhi Sawant dancing on Advani’s head, or elections being postponed for IPL.The western policies of election campaigns are being adopted by the same set of leaders who claim that they can die to save their Indian Traditions.

Today for exercising our own right we need an advertisement. High time we should realize it’s on the stake of our money, our right & above all our security.

Jai Ho!
