PERMAFROST SETS IN??????????

Well, if the ominous signs visible at the "father of the nation's" mausoleum (samadhi) are any yardstick or indicator to go by, the "thaw" in the mostly warm (?) and congenial (?) relations between the Gandhi's and their "pet" prime minister are certainly there for all to see....... Yes, that is indeed right, the two luminaries came eye to eye and face earlier this morning at Rajghat, wished each other courteously and then ended giving each other a wide berth, with Madame Sonia Gandhi placing herself on a pedestal at least fifty odd feet away from her loyal vassal and serf........ You, still don't believe me, or continue to doubt me, well then check out the picture put out on the headlines today webpage as the same is more than self explanatory and worth much more than the cliched thousand words........ A certain "Yuvraj" or heir apparent (Rahul Gandhi) certainly seems to have succeeded in driving a wedge between Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, though many a challenge, controversy and earnest efforts of friends and foes couldn't do so........ For the record and public consumption, Sonia Gandhi has been nothing than more than fulsome in her praise of the prime minister in her last two public rallies and also gone on record saying that the beleaguered prime minister continued to enjoy the unstinted support of the party and such..... But, what she didn't go on to say was that the very same cabinet ministers who were privy to the contents of the now controversial ordinance pertaining to tainted legislators and members of parliament are now conspicuously toeing the line advocated by the heir apparent and also singing hosannas in his praise and benediction heralding him as the new "messiah" and "man of the masses".......... Welcome, to the age of the new and improved (?) Rahul Gandhi, a Rahul who is more than willing to stick out for the much vilified and kicked around Aam Aadmi and is also showing a yearning to be the voice of the same and espouse causes dear to the hearts and minds of the same.......... A flash in the pan or then a belated attempt at countering Modi's "trail blazing" image amongst the middle class and the youth of this gargantuan nation????? Watch this space for further details as a one on one meeting between the two warring satraps is just about coming to an end even as we speak, and the prime minister is slated to meet the president at 12:30 pm and explain his government's reasons for coming up with this nonsensical ordinance as the Yuvraj chose to describe it........ The cabinet meeting slated for 6 pm this evening should be the proverbial last nail in the coffin and give us a more than fair indication of which direction the wind finally blows in........... So let's all hold our horses until then and see where the party president let's her cards fall, though all of us are privy to the fact that she is more than sympathetic to her son's cause........ HAIL INDIAN DEMOCRACY IN THE ERA OF THE GANDHI FAMILY..........
