New year wishes for India

Published on Faking News in Jan 14

My new year wishes to India & Indians.
May God give Delhi the prosperity to pay their water & electricity bills and valour to protect the womenfolk.
May Mumbaikar’s life be without potholes. May they have so much rain that no one has to urinate in the reservoirs.
May West Bengal have the strength to survive neo Left & Left, may their intellectual prowess overcome the headless chickens masquerading as leaders.
May Bihar have the astuteness to escape the vicious whirlpool of fake secularism & casteism. May they attain the escape velocity to get out of special status begging bowl.
May UP & AP get the help of God & Rajnikant to uncomplicate themselves & get out of the clutches of self serving politicians.
May Haryana Khaps take a leap of two centuries. May the girl child survive & prosper.
May Punjab have the sagacity to understand that the patriotism is the strongest intoxicant, gives the strongest kick.
May J&K have the insight that losing a generation in conflict is too high a price for any political status. May the Kashmiri Pundits get back to their homeland.
May the mainstream media have the common sense to understand the difference between journalists and fixers, wheeler dealers & middlemen. And no, Amar Singh is not the Journalist of the Century’.
May Indian voter vote for India & elect a government which is accountable to India, Indian voter & the Parliament.
Wishing India a 2014, full of prosperity, equality, opportunity, built on meritocracy, free from dynasty, communal violence, terrorism, caste, Tejpals & Asarams (& their lesser known ilk) and sycophantic, feudal, opportunistic & divisive politicians.

Most of us would have heard or read this story before but its relevance to the current situation makes a retelling necessary. A sword smith came to the King’s durbar (any King, let’s be secular) and declared that he had the world’s best sword. It was so good & sharp that it could pierce any shield, repeat any shield in the world.  The claim was tested on the few shields available and when found to be true, the King became happy, and as usually happens in such stories, gave a lot of gold and other jewels to the smith and sent him off. A year or two later, the smith came to the King’s court again, this time brandishing a shield which, he claimed, no sword in the world could pierce. The people were simple in those days and he was believed.  The King was about to be relieved of some more gold and gems but then, one smart Ram Singh remembered the sword that the smith had sold earlier. He got up and reminded the king of the impossibility of both claims being true and a...

"I am quitting" said God

“I am quitting, with immediate effect.” said God. I was hit by the suddenness of it. God appearing to you can be quite a shock. “Quitting .. What?” I blurted out. “Quitting from the position of God” He was looking sad, weighed down by something. A fraction of a moment later, the realization of what He had said and the implication that the world was coming to an end dawned on me. I felt as if I have been thrown over a steep cliff into a bottomless abyss.  I stammered, “What? You can’t do that!” “Why on earth not? I am the master of my freewill. Are you telling me I am not?” God retorted. “I mean..  I mean, the world would come to an end.. Where would we go? What would we do? Oh, no. Would we survive? I don’t want to die.” I pleaded. “Don’t be melodramatic. Nothing is going to happen to your world.” God dismissed my pleadings. “Nothing will happen? How would world survive without you?” I persisted, still pleading. “Don’t act dumb. I gave you...
