INTO THE PAST WITH PAIN…LXXXII

   Dr K Prabhakar Rao (Gandhi, Nehru and Patel are seen travelling in a AC first class bogie of AP express travelling to Delhi. The bogie is full and all seats are occupied. People are seen intensely discussing in small groups. Tempers are also found high. Gandhi is feeling out of place in the groups. He starts engaging himself in conversation), 

Gandhi. May I disturb you sir?  Can I know what the topic of this serious discussion is?

 

Narsimloo. Hello. Old man, You have already disturbed me. What is there further to disturb me?

 

Gandhi. Sorry sir.  I think you are all going for a meeting at Delhi. My name is Gandhi

 

Narsimloo. True. We are at it. But which Gandhi you are?

 

Patel. He is MK Gandhi.Bapu, Father of nation. I am sure you are going for discussion on Telangana state.

 

Narsimloo. True. It is for that only. Does MK stand for Maha  Kamzor.that befits him..hee..heee

 

Patel. Haa..haa  …aa..What a translation!

 

Ellaih. My name is Ellaiah. I represent  Galli no. 32 in Kima Reddy town. I belong to Apna Desam Party. I shall also take part in discussions. I  can answer your doubts too.

 

Gandhi. Is the high command of ruling party calling Galli leaders for discussion?

 

Elaih. Why not? The state is decided in galli ( street) politics only.

 

Nehru. Hee..hee

 

Patel. Ou..ou. wow..wow...( sings)

 

Dear you are going to Delhi

There you will come across a black silly Billy( Cat)

Your work shall not be done there, I am sure

For Telangana there appears to be no medical cure

 

Ellaih (Getting angry) Come on sir. Please do not say that. We are all going with great hopes. ( sings angrily)

 

I shall see you old man

To live I am sure you have no plan

I shall eat you bit by bit

Soon you shall loose all your wit

 

Gandhi. Ok.Ok. Relax. Do not get upset. Your BP will shoot up. Have faith in Telangana god or goddess that is Telangana  Talli ( Mother)

 

Patel. How many Galli leaders are going there?

 

Narsimloo. From every Mandal town atlesat one guy will be there.

 

Patel. So  I think atlesat few hundreds are there.

 

Narsimloo. Sure. Also there will be MLAs. Mostly they are well fed and fat too.

 

Nehru. I am sure there will be many like this from Andhra  and Seema areas.

 

Narsimloo. Sure.They are also travelling in this train in other bogies

 

( In the mean time a tea vendor arrives with some snacks)

 

Tea vendor. Chai ( Tea)..Chai.. Garam Chai.. aaa chai.. aaa… chai

 

Gandhi. Ohoi.. Plesae give tea to  four of us.

 

Narsimloo. Is it Telangana Chai?

 

Gandhi. What is this?

 

Narsimloo. He has to be from Telangana. From which place you are? Where were you born?

 

Tea vendor. Sir My name is Bezwada Madelu. I am from Kodad in Nalgonda district. I have one leg in Andhra and one hand in Andhra. The other leg and hand are in Telangana

 

Narsimloo. Which hand is from Telangana?

 

Tea vendor. Left hand sir.

 

Narsimloo. Give tea with left hand

 

Tea vendor. OK sir. But I use left hand for toilet purpose also

 

Gandhi. Chee…chee…aaacque,,chee..cheee ( about to vomit)

 

Ellaih. How dare old  man you?… say chee ..chee to Teangana hand..(Becomes angry and Sings)

 

Oh look old man with bald head

I shall take away from your mouth the daily bread

You are insulting us at this place

I shall smack you with this mace

 

(He lifts up an iron rod to hit Gandhi)

  

Patel. Relax. Why are you hitting him? What he has said? Is this the way you get Telangana?

 

(Gandhi is totally shaken up)

 

Gandhi. Ok Bhai. You are having very high tempers. How does it make sense to me whether you get or not. Please allow me to live. I am from Gujarat.

 

( In the mean time a  vendor Pullanna arrives selling Pakoras)

 

Pullana.. aa…pakora…pakora

 

Nehru. Bhai. Thoda Pakoras  dho ( Please give some Pakoras). My tongue is itching ( He shows tongue )

 

Gandhi. Bhai. Tell me how Pakodas are made? Are they vegetarian?

 

 Pullanna They are  palak Pakoras. Palak  has come from Amalapuram in Andhra region. Flour is from Kurnool and  oil is from Maharashtra.

 

Ellaih. That means they are Andhra Pakoras, Maro Saaleko( Kick the nut).. Andhra Pagoda bech ta hai ( selling Andhra Pakoras Here).. Yahhan. That too in Telangana bogie mein..grr…grr.. How dare!

 

 Pullanna Eee..eee.Bhai. Bacho. I do not know this is Telangana bogie

 

(Ellaih picks up the basket  and throws it out of the train and  vendor cries loudly)

 

Gandhi. This is unfair. He is a poor guy. It is a great loss to him.

 

Ellaih. He should be happy. I have not thrown him out of train.

 

( He  angrily puffs and does fast break dance)

 

Gandhi. Ohfo.. What a temperament? (Sings)

 

Mera Bharat once was Mahan

Now to one other is dushman

You guys please see reason and stay

Or else loudly pray and bray

 

Narsimloo. Enough old man, Whom you are preaching? Preach in other bogies. Or else I shall throw you out  along with your stick..you…son of  b..  of first order.

 

Gandhi.. Ohfo.. Patel. What type of guys these are. Will these guys with this temperament can get some thing at Delhi? May God bless them.

 

Patel. I have my own doubt.

 

 Narsimloo. Shut up.

 

Gandhi. Are you leaders? What type? May God bless Telangana and Andhra too

 

Patel. How about Royalaseema

 

Gandhi. I shall bless them too

 

Patel. Soon we have to bless upper Telangana and Lower Telangana too

 

Nehru. Why not  Upper Andhra  and Lower Andhra

 

Gandhi. Sure . I shall bless them too

 

Patel. Seema guys also will have Bellary and Raichur from Karnataka

 

 Gandhi. More the merrier..hoo…hooo.hoo..All will have nice time fighting each other for water first.

 

Patel. Telangana  will not have any coast

 

Gandhi. Any how Andhra will not cooperate for use of its ports by others

 

Patel. hee,,hee

 

Gandhi.. I am sure finally each district in Telangana will fight for separate state hood. When Singapore not even the size of Hyderabad city can  be a country why each district can not be  a state first  and then as country. The day is not far. Haaa.haaa

 

Patel. Hoo..hooo..hooo

 

Nehru. Ou…ou…ou…

  

Narsimloo. You… stupid guys. I shall show you…

 

Patel. What you will show? Plesae see this mirror. You look nice in this.

 

(Narsimloo  lifts up a box to hit Gandhi and Patel and the trio vanish suddenly from the bogie)

                                                                     CURTAIN FALLS
