When Kejriwal emerged after taking a dip in the holy Ganges, he told reporters that the country will face re-elections in 2015. According to him, “That is when our country will be free from the clutches of Adani and Ambani.” So in 2015, after re-elections,  Adani, Advani and Ambani will all sink in the Ganges along with another person whose name also ends with an ‘I’.
 But if BJP wins in 2014, “Sir, yeh desh nahin bachega.” I am not saying this, Kejriwal is. 
Considering how hot he looks in that chequered towel, I believe him. Basically this means that we are in for uncertain times. No jobs. No growth.

But why crib and be called a pessimist? So what if we are all in the gutter for now? We can always look at the stars. If we really focus on the bright side, there is a lot to cheer.

Social service is in the air. Those like Paswan who believed that the man with an amazing voice modulation was Hitler, have suddenly realized that he is, in fact Mother Teresa. All in the name of social service. In the election season, everyone wants to give back to the society – KRK, Rakhee Sawant, Mahesh Manjrekar and Manoj Tiwari to name a few. Making people laugh is also social service, which is why Ms Sawant came dressed as a cucumber.

Taking cue from the spirit of social service initiated by Rabri Devi, the wives of tainted politicians are ready to jump in the electoral fray.Some families have life long devotion to social service.

Never Say Die Spirit abounds. In the entire election hullabaloo, we discovered our own James Bond – Amar Singh. No, his tryst with dusky long legs has nothing to do with my calling him James Bond. If you think this analogy is flawed, you should know that Sean Connery returned to playing the Secret Service Agent, in ‘Never Say Die’, after 12 years. Rising like a phoenix, our desi Bond (no physical comparisons please, can’t you look beyond the ephemeral?) joined Rashtriya Lok Dal, along with his Prada carrying Bond girl, Jaya. And like other secret agents, we don’t know what or who Amar Singh stands for.

Out on bail for cash-for-vote scam, Amar finally found his calling in the company of Ajit Singh. Ek Amar, to doosra Ajit – invincible. Which means maximum bargaining power at the time of ‘stallion trading’. And those who thought Amar was done and dusted after he fainted at a Dubai airport can go watch ‘Die Another Day’.

More good news. Several family dramas are playing in your nearest theatre. One is playing in Tamil Nadu where son Alagiri was expelled by his shady daddy, I mean daddy in shades. There is Sadhu Yadav (such an apt name, I tell you) contesting against his own sister, Rabri. The once loving sister is now calling estranged Sadhu bhaiyya 'Dushman'. 
Another riveting spectacle is being played in Nainital, where N D Tiwari accepted his son after a long legal battle and a DNA test. Taking a cue from Kejriwal’s style of asking the public, Tiwari wants the people to decide whether  his son should contest from his political seat. Indeed, a positive development for participative democracy!

This election season is all about glamor and entertainment. So what if Pawan Bansal, the clean candidate from Chandigarh, gets your goat? Believe me, he knows a lot about goats. But forget goats, residents of Chandigarh are enjoying the battle of dimples between Gul Panag (Bullet Rani - she rides a Bullet) and Kirron Kher (muse for all Surajmal Pannalal Jewelers - can carry loads of precious stones). 

Let’s come back to AAP and health benefits. With Kejriwal in the picture, I don’t need my daily dose of Sudoku. By the time I am able to make up my mind about AAP, Kejriwal goes ahead and does something which makes me re-think.

All in all, no one is missing the IPL entertainment. After Salman and Ranbir, who would have imagined that the humble towel will find a new muse in Kejriwal. Like the current 'hope rally' on the sensex, I am optimistic. 
Those who wish to sing, always find a song.
