okay...i was travelling from Ooty to B'lore. There was this guy I met on a train who said the most original and wackiest
thing I had heard in a long long time.......
'Indians
love to glorify India. We fabricate history and idols to make up for our Screwd up present
. Ricky Ponting is the best batsman in the world. He wins back to back World cups, conquers all world ruthlessly and we still say Sachin is God just because he debuted at 16, seven years before Dravid did, and amassed thousands of runs on flat pitches. Abhinav Bindra wins one gold medal ...'..(ye baat kuch hajam ne hui)
He saw me yawning cuz i felt it was waste of time to listen to him probably and he abruptly said- 'Do you know what were Gandhi's dying words ?'
'Gandhi? Indira Gandhi ?' I tried to buy some time for thinking
, surprised by the change of topic.
'Na na. Mohandas Gandhi. Gandhiji.'
'Hey Ram ?'
"See, that's what I have been saying. Who would say that when he is about to die. He probably said- 'Haraami' to that Godse, but that old man must have lost his breath and the 'H...a....r....aaaaa....m....' was glorified as 'Hey Ram'."
And then I realized I was laughing my lungs out with a guy I would probably never meet again. I loved the thought of it
