Ab ki baar, bas hua yaar!

May 16 is nearing and it would be a historic day as we look forward to and anticipate more episodes of ‘Comedy nights with Kapil Sharma’ – oh wait, what’s the joke there? It’s in the name! *Shakespeare facepalm moment*

It is also the day when Indian national anthem is declared best by UNESCO for the 2678956th time and also when your WhatsApp turns green, red or sick of your constant abuse.

Also, the country recently celebrated fingering RaGa days, also known as getting inked and putting up selfies. He was sure to have a,umm, hard time this election (feel free to replace the L with a R – ambidextrous, for the win!)

That brings us to the recently concluded elections and I’m sure most of us must have cast their vote against the icon of a rat’s ass – because that’s what we give to elections, right?

The best part about the elections though, is that it’ll finally put an end to: Ab ki baar, Modi sarkaar chants; my house-help not getting her broom back from Kejriwal that he had promised to return in 48 days but has failed to do so; RaGa’s summer vacations, etc.

I’m too bored with these self-anointed spokespersons on social media platforms for different political parties based on parameters like chest-size, no.of dharna’s/minute, a child’s dream of becoming a PM etc. But then they say it’s their voice, their space.. *enter Robert Vadra*

It’s a good thing that quite a few of us voted, but that’s there to it – wasting your time debating about who is right or wrong wouldn’t change a thing (except the number of people in your friends/followers list), and what’s ridiculous is most of the debates aren’t even personal opinions, they’re simply the views expressed by the newspaper you read or the news channel that you follow – whose prime purpose should be helping you form opinions and not make them for you.

I sincerely hope may the best man/woman/RaGa win, but let’s put this to an end. Regardless of who wins, instead of wasting time debating that we should instead be fascinated by how Tiger Shroff is masquerading as Priyanka Gandhi and promoting his next! Or let’s debate what is more boring 2 states the book or the movie. Or worst case let’s help find RaGa a new job under NREGA! Thoko, thoko, thoko taali.
