From Gandhi TO Mahatma TO MKG

Now now now...India has another reason to celebrate. Bapus belongings are back in India...or atleast will be back in India soon enough. Is it really worth talking about or celebrating. Somehow i just hate the thought of attaching importance to objects and symbols instead of believing in the ideals MKG stood for. Isnt it really convnient we claim his legacy despite having nothing to show for it, oh no wait a minute we do have things to show for it a corrupt goverment which has more goondas in the goverment than literates, farmer suicides, naxal problems etc...

And now look at the irony of the event...A LIQUOR baron Vijay Mallya is restoring a nations dignity...A guy who has nothing to do with simple living, flaunts his style at every possible place and is selling booze which makes ppl lose there senses is restoring nations pride...

I just thought if these items would influence his psyche in what way would it show up in his work and biusiness ..herez a interesting list i could think of ;)


  1. Whoever buys kingfisher would now be given a copy of the bhajan "Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram" no item songs man...
  2. Booze will be served in bowl n saucer instead of mugs n glasses
  3. Royal Challenger Bangalore (RCB the IPL team he owns) player Kumble would now play in round wire rime specs ; supporters would get to sport round wire rime specs to cheer there team...
  4. Even better the cheer leaders would now wear only a khadi shawl n dhoti...i hope it doesnt rain for their sake :D...so will the air hostesses at kingfisher and models on F1 track
  5. RCB bowlers will make sure if one ball goes for 6 the next one would too afterall if u r slapped u should offer the other cheek
  6. His Formula 1 team flag bearer (the model who stands in fromt of the car) would use lathis instead the conventional flag posts(man now how creative is that ;)
And I saved the best for the last
  1. His booze would now become non-violent. People who drink it would just sleep and not get into brwals.
As ever guys lemme know your fav point n also add to the list...

Cheers

well as you mentioned it in the opening lines itself, the fact is that though we Indians seem so "hurt" coz of gandhiji's personal belonging went under the hammer, whereas we have distanced ourselves from his teachings of non-violence.

We seem to search for National-pride in his belongings and then go ahead to kill the same "national pride" by throwing microphones and chappals in the state assemblies.

Bapus belongings now belong to a mallu :) I am not extremely excited about the prospect of glorification of his stuff at all.

Vijay Mallya is restoring a nations dignity is like Microsoft promoting Open source.
