Mirror mirror on the wal!! Who's gonna be the Indian president in the fall???

Its the time to choose the most ineffectual member of the government of India,The President. What does the Indian president do? Well his job is to sign Laws, Travel round the world, Maintain the wonderful house and the gardens and enjoy the best of Indian Hospitality. And yeah if he feels he can disagree with the government of the land but only disagree nothing more at the end its our parliament is the supreme body.

Sounds like paradise and a very good retirement option and still we have so many people fighting for the grandest retirement home.

Now lets see the curious case of Pranab Mukherjee. One of the most respected and astitute politician of our times. Poor fellow never got what he aspired for. He wanted to be the Prime minister when Indira Gandhi died but since Congress is the synonym for Gandhi he didn't stand a chance. And when a Gandhi didn't want to become the prime minister he must have been rubbing his palms in anticipation. But rather than the hot seat coming to him it goes to a bureaucrat turned pseudo politician Dr Manmohan singh (Drat Pranab Mukherjee should have done a PHD and got a doc in front of his name...It sounds so cool).  Well just when things were looking rosy and Pranab da had decided on a retirement home for himself and zeroed on the Rashtrapati bhawan the hurricane from bengal struck. Mamata di in her zeal for poribartan (This is a fictious character having no resemblance to any person living or dead And I am not a maoist don't put me in jain and no cartoons too) flexes her imaginary hercules' muscles and says no. Pranab da is very precious for bangla to retire-Yeah thats a guess of her reason to veto the candidature. I feel sorry for Pranab da and he must be wondering why him all the time?? What wrong has he done to be denied the fruits of his labour. He's respected across the political spectrum and termed as a efficient and wily leader then why does he always end up short. Maybe his biggest problem is he's a bengali.


I'll talk about the bengali thing some other time. Its kaun banega rashtrapati time and sadly we the people have no role to play. All hail the mela ala our great indian democracy. Let the fight begin...
