main aisa kyoon hoon?

A question I always ask myself. I don't know if it's only me who is like that or if everybody wonders, "main aisa kyoon hoon?"

My class teacher is very wise in teaching the class Disaster Management, especially when I'm a part of her class. A perfect example.

I woke up. It was Sunday. I felt lazy. I went back to sleep. I got up again. I felt lazy. I got up. I went to get myself a glass of milk. The milk was yet to be boiled. I boiled it. I tried to pour it into a glass. It went everywhere except into my glass. I just left it. I walked out of the kitchen and hit my leg on the wall while doing so.

I felt hungry. I came back into the kitchen. I found some bread. I put it in a plate and eased myself on the sofa. I wasn't comfortable. I brought my leg down. I heard the sound of shattering glass as i felt something cold on my leg for a second. I had broken a glass. I just left it.

I felt bored. I wanted my ball. I remembered playing upstairs. I flew up the stairs, landed in the first floor and stopped. "Why had I come up?" After a second, "Oh! To find my ball"

I felt thirsty. I flew back down. I landed and paused. "Why did I come down." After a second, "Oh! To drink water"

I wanted to listen to music. I connected the net and opened you-tube. It loaded. I moved my hand to the mouse. I paused. "What did i want on you-tube?" After a second, "Oh! I wanted to listen to a song."

You may think I'm silly but I'm not. I think it's just that my mind is more irrepressible than me. It doesn't want to stay quiet. But I don't require much effort to concentrate on one thing. I don't know. I don't have to tell my mind to stop wandering and listen to the biology lesson. But I do have to tell him to remind me what I came upstairs for. The only real place it doesn't happen is the toilet. I always know what I have gone to the toilet for.(thank god)

Division of AP

The chopper crashes and kills a man, another steps in, he isn't able to hold it together, yet another man says he won't eat, he's serious, our "leaders" call for an emergency meet, the decision is taken and the man can eat again.

These are the circumstances that lead to the great divide as Andhra Pradesh was chopped into two, Telengana and "the other half." Of course, all the fuss is made about the Telengana side as they were the one's who initiated it.

The way the whole issue was managed was absolutely "Indian." No other word can be used to describe the whole process.

Act 1- There's a "strong" leader, who can "resist all initiatives to divide the state," atleast in the eyes of the public. It's mostly that he had enough money to "keep them quiet." Unluckily for him and his party, his chopper runs or rather "flies" into rough weather and he was silent forever.

Another man becomes the Chief Minister, a "weak"one without the backing of his colleagues a the centre. The TRS sees this weakness and plans.

End of Act-1

Act-2. The leader of the "Telengana Rashtra Samitee" better known as "TRS", Mr K. Chandrashekar Rao, better known as "KCR" decides he will not eat or drink a molecule till the state is divided into two, Telengana and the other part which can be named anything, he doesn't care.

End of Act-2

Act-3 The centre buckles under pressure, says it doesn't want KCR dead, calls for an emergency meet and passes the motion for the state to be cut up. They think it's all over. They are mistaken.

End of Act-3

Repercussions and after-affects.

Firstly, KCR allows himself to eat and is discharged from the hospital. The TRS celebrates victory.

The whole country decides to ask for smaller states. The people from Darjeeling ask for

Gorkhaland, a state they had been asking for even during the colonial period. Mayawati asked the centre for Uttar Pradesh to be tri-furcated, perhaps so that she can be chief minister of three states rather than one.

Another effect was wholesale violence in the state of AP, where those against the division used old tactics. They set fire to buses and shouted slogans against the government.

In all this chaos the home secretary said Hyderabad would be capital of Telengana and then half backtracked, half denied making the statement, leading to some confusion.

The centre calmed everything down by saying there was no hurry. The state of Telengana would be formed slowly and cannot be formed overnight.

On the whole, the management of the whole issue was typical of our country and KCR's tactics to twist the government's arm were straight out of Gandhigiri.
