Yesterday, Sunday, 28 January 2018, somewhere deep within the interiors of a State in Western India, a lady called Jasodaben laughed out loud. LOL? She had turned on the radio, tuned into the LIVE telecast of "Mann Ki Baat" and heard the speaker speak about how "it is in our culture to respect women". She laughed until being reminded that she is a wife, too. About 300-kms away, one day before the radio telecast, Deepika Padukone had smiled too, after one month, and eaten an elaborate Rajasthani thali during promotions of her war-torn and screen-torn film "Padmavati"! 😂😂Today, Monday, 29 January, somewhere deep within the squeeze and sweat of the 10.48 am Churchgate fast, I fretted while managing to listen to the President's speech. Kya speech bolte hain yaar woh? I mean, kya speech padhte hain yaar woh? Reminded me of Pratibhaben. Imagine, just imagine him with Donald Trump? Or Justin Trudeau? Or, wait, imagine him with the fit, dynamic and dapper, Vladimir Putin? Woohoo! The twain shall not meet? Why? Because the man called Putin never reads speeches, speaks his own mind, tackles people like a boss and only, only means business! Sez, who? Hillary? Obama? Or whoever rigged an *American* Presidential election? #VladimirBadaKePutin #TakeItEasyDontRussia #MereMannKiBaatLagaataHoonTeriVaat #EkPresidentKiKahani
