After watching the recent ruckus in the Parliament over Lokpal Bill, here are some ready takeaways offered by our netas for footpath guys (courtesy Lalu Yadav) like us.
Parliament is supreme: Go to polling booths every five years, cast your vote if lucky (or they will take care booth-wise) and then just shut up. See no evil, hear no evil and never speak ill of elected members. Not even on the net.
Respect for Parliament: Applicable only for those miserable guys who pay taxes and have to pay bribe to get passport, ration cards; not for the men in red-light topped cars.
Well of the House: A place in Parliament House where members willingly suspend their sanity (for many it is second nature).
Rule of law: It is again meant for those docile citizens and petty criminals like pickpockets and other small flies. For netas they are meant to be bent (from 180 to 360 degrees). Even if caught they can get admitted to some elite hospital or even if jailed they can enjoy AC cells in prisons like Tihar, visit families during weddings, enjoy tea with jailors.
Decorum: What is that? Maybe it is what these aam aadmis follow to cover up for their timidity.
Minority card: A brahmastra used by the netas to shift goalposts or neutralise imminent threats.
Swiss bank account: For common public it is something like air. You can feel but never see.
Consensus in Parliament: A rare occurrence that happens when legislators' salary needs to be quadrupled or when one of them gets slapped or a shoe gets hurled at them.
