Excerpts
What Rahul and Sonia really need to do is simple, and in fact, easy: just leave India alone. "Aaj mere paas building hai, property hai, bank balance hai, bungalow hai, gaari hai, kya hain tumhare paas?" asked Amitabh Bachchan in Deewar. Shashi Kapoor then offered his now immortal reply: Mere paas Ma hain. Cue the wild applause. Almost 40 years later, however, the punchline has been flipped on its head. India today is impatient for the fruits of development - the building, the bungalow, the car, the bank balance. Rahul can keep his mother.

It was said that Sonia Gandhi was very unhappy about Rajiv entering politics and that she knew he too would lose his life one day. Then why did she get her son into politics? And that too a not so bright one who seems happy about the loss the way he is beaming a big smile at the recent news conference?

>>> I think the guy was relieved the nightmare was over. I felt bad for him all along. It is as though it was expected that he would run the family business.

I never felt bad for him. Being a scion of a rich, powerful family and reluctantly occupying a position of power is way easy compared what ordinary people go through. That Dalit Woman in whose hut he ate would gladly swap places with him.

I think Rahul just doesn't get it. I'm sure he was told not to look gloomy and in an attempt to make Mummy happy he overdid his expressions. He must have gone back home after to his PlayStation or watching rented movies.
