Happy Vijaya Dasami and Gandhi Jayanti

Today is Dussara and also Gandhi Jayanti. I wish all the readers a very happy celebration on account of both these reasons.

Every one from my generation will remember that 'vijaya dasami' day when India defeated Pakistan on a friday, and that day was Dussara. Beating Pakistan was sweet, but beating them on a friday was a feat never done before. Jai Durga ma, was the slogan for a week :)

All of us know what Gandhi gave back to humanity, while we all look back and see his contributions, I want to jot down a list of possibilities if Gandhi was never born!

• 10. I wouldn't have sung the song 'I am bringing sexy back' wearing a short cotton towel, while I was in the bathroom.
• 9. We didnt need to pass the petition to make Indians vote for Gandhi as "Times Man of millenium" to overtake Christ.
• 8. No one would know 'Raghupati Raghava Rajaram."
• 7. No one could have claimed to kill him.
• 6. Khadhi would have been featured by Ralph Lauren.
• 5. Nehru wouldnt have been the first primeminister of India.
• 4. Indira would have just been a Hindu girl who married a Farsi guy - and Rajiv wouldnt even be a rich brat.
• 3. India would still have got its independance in 1947, albeit a little less dramatic.
• 2. Indian politics wouldnt have been kept on ransom by Politicians who wear a Gandhi cap.

and last but not the least -

• 1. Einstein need not have said "Generations to come will scarce believe that such a one as this walked the earth in flesh and blood."
