It has been few weeks since we celebrated our 75th independence day !! Everyone seemed to be going berserk with their own definition of patriotism, nationalism etc as we mark the occasion with Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav.
Though some deshbhakts also proclaim that we got independence only in 2014 and that was the time we started a steady march to become Vishwaguru. While launching satellites from institutions created over last many years, there is a narrative that nothing happened throughout those years.
But alas we digress. This is not the topic of this post
I wanted to share a special and life altering experience on 15th August 2021. The feeling was so deep and profound, that it has taken me some time to pen down the experience which is narrated below.
I remember, it was late in the afternoon and I was sipping second tea of the day and engrossed in an enjoyable reading of “Discovery of India”. My doorbell rang and when I opened the door I was overwhelmed with sight of our supreme leader, Sh. Modi ji, with his entourage.
What a sight to behold yaar!! A great personality with innumerable qualities. He has unique ability to identify people with the clothes they wear. He has phenomenal ability to coin new abbreviations every day and also gives new meanings to mathematical equations. He taught the world the real meaning of 2ab in (a+b)2 . He can enthral the crowds with his unique narrative of us v/s them and also brought in new classification of andolanjivi’s and parjeevi’s. He dutifully invokes Gandhiji’s name on every 02nd Oct while turning a blind eye to Godse worship. He never wastes his precious time in face to face sessions with these media scribes because he can transmit his thoughts telepathically to most of media who presents and glorify these thoughts dutifully 24 x 7 in their channels.
Such was the personality at my door and I felt like Sudama who has been blessed with Lord’s visit. My eyes brimmed with tears and I prostrated in front of him.
He made me stand up, held me by my shoulders and expressed his sincere anguish and condolences on my loss. I was absolutely overawed and speechless. With great effort, I opened my mouth and asked him:
Me : Sirji, I feel humbled by your presence and your personal visit to express condolences. How did you know that I lost friends to Covid as they could not get Oxygen and hospital bed?
Supreme Leader : Oh! I did not know that. How unfortunate! But for this, I have already shed tears on TV
Me : Then sir, you must have been moved by loss of livelihood all around due to pandemic
Supreme Leader(surprised) : Is that so? I did not come for that.
Me : Oh. Then you must be worried by massive increase in fuel prices which have crippled our finances.
Supreme Leader (now somewhat annoyed) : That is for a good cause beta. Temporary sacrifice for betterment of Bharat Mata
Me : OK. Now I get it. You must be distressed by job losses and shrinking economy.
Supreme Leader (now visibly irritated) : What a moron you are? We are a great nation. Looks like that you watch too much of NDTV. Stop doing that and switch over to other channels. I will have my office to share the nationalist channel list with you. Your eyes will then open and you will see the bigger picture
Me (now at loss for any explanation) : Sirji, though I am grateful for your visit but I still do not understand the purpose of your condolences. Kindly enlighten my soul
Supreme Leader : Actually, I came to express my deep sorrow on the hardship and the suffering caused to your parents and grandparents during partition in 1947. We will never forget what happened to “our” people at that time?
Me (Totally dumb stuck): Thank you Sir ! Those events were indeed sad but somehow my parents never felt bitter about that. Entire humanity from both sides suffered. Years of togetherness were lost to madness perpetrated by rabid ideologies and we are forever grateful that Nehruji, Patel ji and Ambedkar ji took pains to ensure that we all do not fall into the trap of hate. Can we also talk about my current sufferings please??
Supreme Leader : For your current problems, Nehru is responsible. Give me another 10 years and I will fix all that.
Me : But Sir…..
Supreme Leader : There are no buts you moron ! we are on our path to become Vishwaguru. Dare you not doubt that belief! Get rid of these seditious thoughts propagated by Tukde Tukde types. Keep voting for me
With this our discussion ended. I felt liberated and azaad for the first time in my life. This was azaadi from common sense and from rational thinking. I promised myself to henceforth watch only enlightened Media and further enrich my soul. I could now proudly relate with the followers who became independent in 2014
Mera Bharat Mahan !!
