Are we ready?
Are we ready to see the drums beat and the trumpets blow?
Are we ready to watch more Saffron posters unveil?
Are we ready to learn about yet another corruption scandal?
Are we ready to be victimized by sob stories?
Perhaps we are, perhaps we are not.
But we are ready to whisper about unthoughtful speeches.
We are ready to witness more allegations against our “beloved” leaders.
We are ready to enjoy rivals battle each other on a telly screen.
We are ready to accept SoP stories.
After all, this is our time;
We relish the controversies that sprawl across the news.
Our merciless hearts do not forgive any mistake.
We are the largest democracy;
A democracy that is off the people, buys the people,
And is moving far from the people.
We belong to that place which is “saare jahan se accha”;
We are Hindustan.
