Saswat writes that there has been an unprecedented shut down of NYC in honor of Irene; but fortunately the storm blew away not causing too much damage to the City.
But here in our Capital City, the reverse was true...most everyone was caught unprepared...in particular the Powers that matter.
As a seasoned spectator of the political events in Free India, I felt that the hungama at Ramlila pales in significance compared to the other one at another kushti maidan not far off in Lutyens' Delhi.
It reminded me of the famous nursery rhyme:
- Tweedledum and Tweedledee
- Agreed to have a battle;
- For Tweedledum said Tweedledee
- Had spoiled his nice new rattle.
- Just then flew down a monstrous crow,
- As black as a tar-barrel;
- Which frightened both the heroes so,
- They quite forgot their quarrel.
