The meet that shed light on compromises

Well the meet with the TV editors , which in the normal course excludes Print Editors to ensure a semblance of peace and normalcy (the line purported by TV honchos), saw PM (Prime Manmohan)take questions, heavy indeed, on his regime's compatibility with the issue and index of corruption. Compatibility not being there was indeed the reason for Prime Manmohan to holf fort in 7RCR, appropriately suggesting that another 40-odd months would this be his residence come what may. Compatible would be his stay here and so would be of his compatriots was the essence of the question to be followed by answer session.
Questions had been flying thick and fast in the neighbouring Safdarjang Road, Tuglaq Road and Aurangzeb Road on the probable change of guard and henceforth change of occupant of 7RCR. Prime Manmohan set all doubts to rest and launched himself on a full-fledged fest by articulating that all that his regime had done in the past was in entire consonance with coalition compulsions and making compromises was the sole way to take thunder out of opposition bell.
The PM thundered: " No one from ruling benches was found in alarming/compromising position and this explains the compromises i made were within manageable limits." Compromises he did not elaborate on but elaboration was plentiful on how he hopes to sail for the next 40 months. Well the first sign of goverment in functioning mode would be the elaborate functioning of Parliament where he hopes to convince the Opposition to make equal amount of compromises if not more if they hope to sail through. "All discussions in Parliament would be on compromises and surprises." Surprises he did not elaborate on but this could well be to keep the functioning anarchy revisit Parliament the members would be allowed to rush to the well of the House and have their grub there and then itself. The congregation at the well would be for the grub and post grub and exchanges the members would return to their respective seats.

When he stands to address the House Prime Manmohan would articulate that there won't be any compromise on Question Hour and Zero Hour and let the mayhem begin well after these two critical hours. In fact the tone of compromise would be set in motion by Prez's address to Joint Session of Parliament where the Head of State would elaborate on compromises Prez made on family functions as Govt functions were more in action. Post 2012 the compromises she has to make to her daily schedule is inevitable would be her refrain tool.
Taking a cue from this compromise tone that Prez would set, the members would be in a huddle now and then talking about compromises and other son rises. Apart from compromise content that Parliament would be swaying with there would be all-weather compromise debate in the different forums that the House and the general public would be grappled with.
Faltering at different steps and inability to cross the thresh hold the blame would be layed on the need to keep the game spirit alive and kicking.
Well faltering and disappearing from World Cup would actually mean lending a new lease of life to IPL which faces a serious threat to its credibility if Cricket India has a blemish free run in the World Cup. Perhaps a visible snag and aberration in the World Cup would set the stage for IPL and this is the all-weather compromise that Cricket India has to commit itself to. And to truly adhere to in letter and spirit. Only then the IPL flag can fly high and give more moneylenders who lend money for aam aadmi to get hold of tickets to give a new try. After all the economy that gets a boost during IPL is unparallel and this is the reason why the govt of the day is hoping the World Cup outing is kept at bay.
As this compromise would take effect, there would be other compromises that one would be taking with a pinch of salt. Mind you getting wrapped up in compromising position does not end the debate then and there itself as it only sends alarming bells. From this compromising position to alarming signals that it emits we need to look at the complete picture of a one who does not compromise at any stage. And this is truly possible if s/he does not keep identity fake.
