Modi headed to Centre

Modi headed to Centre


No way dude! Really?"

"Seems logical to me." "But why? I mean you yourself told me that if he's smart enough, and he certainly seems to be, then he'll stay put in Gujarat."

"To answer nature's call; so to speak." "Huh!"

"I saw a news programme a couple of days ago that said Gujarat is drowning. The sea is reclaiming it. The state has lost about 45 sq km or something in 30 years. So, naturally..."

"Yeah, I got it. Incidentally, WikiLeaks has declared Lashkar plans to kill Modi."

"You think this is a part of the strategy?"

"Wow! Any theories on the Varanasi blast? Wonder why we don't get to see you on those TV debates."

"Rest assured, whenever the opportunity comes, you'd acknowledge that it was worth the wait in gold."

"Come again? No, don't. By the way, are you on the Radia tapes?"

"I don't remember speaking to a lobbyist. I get a lot of telemarketing calls though. Anyway, the Home Secretary said the best is yet to come. And I'm pretty sure my phone was being tapped."

"I'll bet! And we're all waiting with bated breath for those tapes to come out."

"Anyway, you might be in them. So, remember to thank me for your 15 minutes of fame, whenever that happens."

"I'll send you a card. But what do you make of all these revelations? Is this good or bad?"

"That's a moot point, once the cat is out of the bag. You can only hope that the people who matter have learnt the right lessons. Somehow I doubt that. Of course you record the conversations of the most affable guy for a day and you'll find something objectionable."

"Really? Willing to be a case study?"

"Sometimes, when in office, I wonder if I already am one."

"How's it going? Got a raise yet?"

"Got a job yet?"

"Dude, don't be so defensive. And my maternal aunt died last Saturday. So I'm loaded."

"The one from Junagadh? God bless her soul! She loved you."

"I loved her too. And her Lamborghini. Want a ride today?"

"She had a ufffdI mean, of course I would."

"So, my place at 7? You don't need directions, right? Well, the car will be parked outside."
