Monday, September 05, 2011 - Where were you the past few days? “In Delhi uncle!” “Doing what?” “Sitting on fast!” “Why?” “Getting rid of corruption!” “And did you?”
“Yes, didn’t you see it on TV?” “What, corruption disappearing?” “Yes, it’s gone, we are a corruption free country. One man’s fast did it all! Hurray!”
“Hey, what are you doing?” “Dialing a number!” “But you are driving a car!” “So what there isn’t a cop around, not on this road!” “Right! And where are you taking me?”
“To the ration card office!” “You want a ration card?” “Yes, immediately!” “But it will take three days!”
“Not if I give the officer this!” “What is that?” “A thousand rupee note!” “Right! But why are you going so fast?” “I have to be there before the office closes!” “But you are breaking the speed limit!”
“No problem, there are no cops on this road!” “How old are you?” “Seventeen years old!” “How did you get a drivers license?” “My father knows someone in the licensing department!” “Right! Tell me something?” “What?” “Did you actually see corruption disappear?” “Yes uncle, I did!”
“Like whoosh, it’s gone?” “Yes, just like that! In fact Anna has broken his fast.” “So?” “That means corruption has disappeared!”
“Right! Oh there’s a police vehicle with a siren behind us!” “No problem!” “You’re going to get a ticket for speeding!” “No, I’ll give him this!”
“What’s that?” “A fifty rupee note. Very handy uncle, I used it, when I traveled to Delhi, without a ticket. The TC was very happy!” “Right…!”
