Bow or not to bow: The rally at Nagercoil by Puneet Rajhans

Bow or not to bow: The Rally at Nagercoil

As i make enquiries about going to Nagercoil and the mode of transport i should seek, some suggest that they have the wherewithal to transport me to another world and some responding by admonishing me for seeking a favour to go to Nagercoil when million others have gone on foot. Probably they disappeared to Nagercoil when million others were sleeping/waking alternate hours.
Truckloads of men, women and followers (different shape sizes and colour) are going to Nagercoil to hear the assorted lot. The lot that is going to open their mouth before an audience that would shrink, trim and grow each passing minute include Karuna, Stalin, Alagiri and Kanimozhi. They would speak for a period not known yet but enough to cast aspersions on those who are willing to turn turncoats come assembly polls given their slide in the rating in the party machinery.

Here the leaders would take a pledge, narrate a tale and probably obfuscate the audience by harmlessly suggesting that another five year outing is on the cards. What the leaders are going to speak about is how they have together with their will and wherewithal withstood the challenges of the hostile regimes at the Centre and the string of demands they are going to put forward before the Centre to see them they stay united forever. Probably it would be to do with the succession line to be put in place where enough clarity is yet to be established; the baton should pass on to the Deputy when the challenge from a Central Minister has not been adequately addressed. Further they would speak about the times and trepidation that we live in and the urgency to foist the black and red flags on either side of the roads when enough trees have not been planted.

The party cadres would take the pledge that as and when these flags are uprooted they would be replaced by saplings that would be painted black and red when it has secured its full growth. Of all the pledges and directions that this meet would witness, there would be another understanding between the cadres and party honchos that for a meet of this scale and tribulation (pangs of trauma that the common man is subjected to), the industrial houses need to open their coffers failing which the black and red flags would be hoisted at every conceivable place of freedom. Of freedom and for the overwhelming need to stay alive to such proceedings of future, the industrial houses of desire and growth would have to heed to the suggestions of the party at the helm.

AS for the other rally the party would be keeping a close watch on is at the dalal street as it has the potential to sweep aside the rally at Nagercoil given its unchecked ascension. Precisely on that count this rally has been fixed at 6 in the evening when the street is empty and dalals have disappeared for good. For this rally no travel advisory has been issued which actually paves the way for a large contingent to turn out and bow their head before the reigning kings and queens.
As for me the decision to bow would be entirely linked to the crowd that hasn't greyed enough to disappoint me.
