Yes I am back and if your expecting a list...well your are right again. Politics. Need i have to say more? The myriad of images that flash in your mind contain the cleanest kurtas and the bloodiest controversies! Politics has become like a soap opera, its entertaning but at the same time sometimes stretched to the limits of boredom. I managed to draw a connecting line between the beautiful world of literature and the decaying world of politics. I know by doing so many of the authors might start rolling in their graves....but its all for a good laugh, they will understand. So here goes ( Characters and titles in this list are purely real! any resemblance to any person living or dead just shows how aware you are of the current affairs! some titles might have been changed to desperately bring in humor!)
1. H. D Devegowda : He Stoops (to a new low) To Conquer by Oliver Goldsmith.
2. Andhra Pradesh : Things Fall apart by Chinuwa Chube.
3. Ambani/gas politics : Death of the salesmen by Arthur Miller.
4. Verappa Moily : Crime and punishment by Dostoevsky.
5. Mamatha Banerjee vs Laloo : Streetcars named Desire by Tennessee Williams.
6. N D Tiwari : Sorry! I am not into Pulp Fiction!!!!
7. Bal Thackery : The Godfather by Mario Puzo
8. Jyoti Basu & Co : Red Star over Bengal by Edgar Snow
9. B S Yeddiurappa : Yeddy the Obscure by Thomas Hardy
10. M Karunanidhi : Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway.
11. Sonia Gandhi & co : Foundation and Empire by Issac Asimov
12. A. Ramadoss : Coma by Robin Cook.
I think i will stop here. If i continue the literary club will be filing a rit petition against me! So i would like to end by saying All is Fair in Politics and literature.....obviously by Kailash Koushik :)

My dear, you have insulted the old man in the novel by comparing Karunanidhi to him. We expect you to apologize to him in public!
