It
has been a while since I wrote something after “A Truth’s destiny”. Sorry for
taking a rather long break. But this hiatus was not a self imposed one.
Sometimes creativity doesn’t listen to us. It is more like nature and we are at
own peril to try and change its course. And being an ardent lover of nature and
creativity, I decided not to interfere. We set ourselves certain standards and
there are times when you feel that something is missing in your writing. I did
go through this phase wherein I found all my writings incomplete and lacking in
zest and life. And I have also been occupied with a lot of other things and so haven't found time to indulge in things close to my heart. But thankfully I have successfully restrained myself and have not
subjected you to those works of mine which I would have second thoughts
reading! I am also sorry for not having read quite a lot of your blogs. I plan to do that as well as soon as possible.
Anyways…
Thank God there is humor that acts as a much needed elixir in testing times. So
amidst this drought of creativity, I still have some comic relief to offer. And
thank heavens.. our politicians are there to lend me a helping hand in my efforts.
Just imagine how sad our lives would be without them. So here I bring you a
very short preview of things to come in Indian politics. It has already being
touted as the battle to watch out for in the future. Clash of the Titans, if
you would! Come 2014, and you may well be talking about this epic collision.
Okay.. before you guys plan to kill me, I sadly break the suspense. It is none
other than the Modi vs Gandhi war. I can hear a few chuckles already. For those
who are not yet amused, you can see the first teaser below.
Now
that we have seen a glimpse of the future, we can come back to the Present. The
phrase “Status quo” has never had so much significance, thanks to this man. A man who I am sure will have difficulty recognizing his own voice (I can hear you say "If he has one"!). They say there is calm before a storm. And it has been a long and eerie calm. So I leave you with: “The Immovable
Object!” Now please don’t ask me who is the “Irresistible Force”?
hahaha, the mere pass ma stuff is awesome :-))) and so is the 'Immovables' :-))) Very witty and hilarious one Raj!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Jenny. Am so glad you found this one hilarious. :)

Hey Raj
ReplyDeleteGood to see one from you after a long time... And 'Mere Paas Ma Hai' the most famous punch dialogue from Bollywood I suppose rt?
Yes Jaish. It has been a long time. I have been a bit irregular in writing. :(
Deleteoh yeah.. that is a famous Bollywood saying. ;) Hindi movie Deewar (our tamil version "Thee"). Glad you liked it.
Well made me laugh the first one .. MAA is always right :)
ReplyDeleteand the second one sad sad sad and Its more sadder to find a sikh gentleman at such a high post involved in all this controversary..
Bikram's
Thank you Bikram. :) Glad you liked it.
DeleteThe second one is indeed unfortunate. He is a man whom I respect too. But I guess he has been in the wrong place and with the wrong people for a really long time now. :(
ha ha :D good to have you back.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. :) It is good to be back.
DeleteWow..!Hilarious!
ReplyDeleteYea, Politicians look better in a comic film only!
Thank you so much. Am so glad you liked them. :) oh yeah.. they would look great in a comic film. That would be a blockbuster.
DeleteLOL...Brilliant! And good to have you back, Raj. Been missing you in my posts.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Panchali. I indeed have a lot of catching up to do in your posts.
Deletemere pass Maa hain....highlight...lol
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Latha. :) Am so glad you liked it. "Maa" is always the highlight. ;)
Deletelol!!!!yes without the politicians our lives would have been dull and spiceless..thanks for making my morning..:)
ReplyDeletehe hee.. am so glad I made your morning. :) Yes.. politicians indeed contribute to the spice and entertainment in our lives. :)
DeleteI always feel my work is below standard, still...I mean, still, I have the guts to bore so many by posting every monday. You are very modest and good human being but please don't take such a long break. About the first one, MA works everywhere and this bollywood classic dialogue is COALDEN....:)
ReplyDeleteSaru.. you are one of the most brilliant writers I have ever seen. If you consider your work is below standard, then I probably should not even be writing. :)
DeleteThank you so much for your kind words. They really mean hell a lot to me. :)
Lol Raj, what a comeback! Loved the comic strips and MMS looks really coaled :D
ReplyDeleteAll well?
Zephyr.. every comment of yours makes me so happy. :) Thank you so much for the lovely words. :) Yes.. all is well. Have been busy with work and spending a nice time with my parents. :) Hence have been quite irregular. :)
DeleteIt turns out that your silence is "coal"den indeed! What a way to get back both on your blog and the politicos! It is a scintillating post!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Uma. Every comment of yours is so precious for me. Thank you so much for the lovely compliment. It means so much. :)

Thank you very much for your comment.
DeleteFrom you silence is not golden :). And for them I have only contempt. BTW, cartoons spell danger these days.
ReplyDeletehee hee.. I guess your comment is better than the cartoon. :) You are so right. Cartoons indeed spell doom these days. I better watch out. :)
DeleteGood one. ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Vinay. :) Am glad you liked it very much.
DeleteRocking humor-we really need such doses daily.After going through your humor i can pardon you for not having written a mystery after Ramanugem.
ReplyDeleteha haa.. thank you so much Indu for this lovely lovely comment. :)
DeleteAm glad this cartoon has helped me to get your pardon for not writing a murder mystery. Guess I have to write more of these for you to continue forgiving me. ;)
Good ones!! :))
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. Am thrilled you liked them. :)
Deletefacts well mimicked.. [www.photoblog.ajeethboaz.com]
ReplyDeleteA very warm welcome to you here Ajeeth. Thank you very much for the lovely comment. :)
DeleteHahaha..good one !! Liked the Maa one better!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Engram. :) The Maa is my favorite too. :)
DeleteROFL ! Mere paas ma hai !!! wow loved both the cartoons
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the lovely comment. Am so glad you liked it very much. :)
DeleteHahaha!! I almost saw it coming, really funny, Raj. :D
ReplyDeleteVery sorry, not been able to read your posts much earlier, my health issues have cropped up again.
Thank you so much Akshay. :)
DeleteThat is really sad to hear. I wish you a very good health and a speedy recovery from all problems. You are a real fighter. I have not seen anyone with so much mental fortitude. :) I am sure you will be back with a bang. :)
Great ones. Between MMS's silence and the opposition's strident demands, and a President who is the most political person to hold the office, it may be sooner than 2014.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Subho. :) You are right. The political environment is very volatile now and things look ominous indeed. And with all the parties and their policy stands, one thing looks sure: no policy can be easily implemented. That is indeed a sad state we are in now.
DeleteHaha! Love the 'mere paas maa hain.' How true!
ReplyDeleteDamn good.
Did you see that picture doing the rounds of FB. Somebody meeting Mr. PM and calling him 'cute' and another saying, 'No he's mute,' or something like that.
Gosh, these people are so inspiring as far as comics are concerned; so much material for political cartoons.
Thank you so much Divya for the lovely compliment. :) Am so glad you liked it.
DeleteOh yeah.. I have seen that. That was very funny. :) I know.. politics nowadays has become so funny that it is extremely sad now. :(
Superb. It made me laugh a lot. We need a strong PM who acts.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Sabyasachi for the wonderful comment. Am glad this cartoon was able to bring a smile in your face. :)
DeleteFantastic. Brought a smile on my face immediately. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteA very warm welcome to you here Vasudevan. :) Am so glad these cartoons brought a smile to your face. Thank you so much for the lovely compliment. :)
DeleteThank you so much Ashwini. Am thrilled you loved the cartoons. Yeah.. Maa is all powerful. :P
ReplyDeleteI will try to do more of these, if they don't arrest me! :D
Don't stop! We can all go to jail together!
ReplyDeleteha haa.. that was a wonderful comment! ;) Well, I wouldn't want to put in jeopardy! ;)
