"Jaldi Rahul-Baba, Jaldi!"

“While some burn midnight oil and labor hard in the day to make a name for self, for others the world waits with baited breath for them to do anything worthwhile to hail them their hero.” This statement epitomizes celebrities from our very Indian Rahul Gandhi and Abhishek Bachan, to the Phirangi, Prince Harry (third in line to the British throne. While many a soldier dies an unknown death, Harry is the toast of the nation, its savior having braved a loooooooong 10 weeks in the frontlines at Afganistan. 10 weeks of ‘self-less’ service of the Queen is all it took to erase the playboy image he had worked for in the past several years. But, at least he has something going for him.
What can we say for our Rahul-baba. His exploits in election rallies in U.P. and Gujrat can be deemed little else than disastrous. It’s a real shame, seeing intelligent, experienced work-horses like Ambika Soni, Abhishek Singhvi shamelessly defending him in the media, trying to get in the books of his doting mother. Meanwhile India is braving a weak Prime Minister who is but a symbolic head of the government. And yet, we wait for him to grow up, mature till he is at least capable of reading out speeches like his mother and play the ‘Surname card’. His attempts at public speaking till now have hade the opposition in splits and his party see red (in shame of course!). The future of a billion people lies heavy on his inexperienced shoulder. As I am very skeptical of Indians to get-over their faith in dynastic rulers, at least in my life time. With a roaring economy and even greater ambition we just cant wait too long. So let us all cheer the poor boy, our Prime Minister in making- “Jaldi Rahul-Baba, Jaldi!”.
