Darth Vader robs bank

A brilliant and absolutely ingenious execution of an enterprise. A man dressed as Star Wars antagonist Darth Vader robbed a Chase bank branch in New York recently. Customers initially thought it was a joke and began laughing as he entered in a character themed mask and blue cape, actually saying aloud that he was robbing it ! What an idea Sirji ! There is so much to learn from this brilliant performance, even  for a hardcore entrepreneur like the Vedanta Chief. If only he could entertain the poor Adivasis enough, he would have got his bauxite easily. By the time they would have realised, their temple on the Niyamgiri hilltop and the five perennial streams would have all got converted into aluminium. This is what you call opportunity loss, in strict economic terms.

Mad that I am, structured thinking has never been my forte. I delve too much into dreamland, believe me, even when I am wide awake. As I was thinking of this fake Darth Vader, I suddenly had this dream : a man impersonating as the West Bengal health minister, entering a 5 star hotel in the city, and robbing all those glittering exhibitionists of their jewelery, the slim fashionable ones of their satoosh shawls and the accompanying gentlemen of their mock chivalry and fat purses. Hey, but why was this impostor not checked at the gate, you may ask. Did you not know : the West Bengal health minister is no ordinary mortal and is allergic to any kind of frisking or security check. Who knows, he might even be carrying germs from his twenty odd years of ministration and therefore, in Public Interest,  has directed the home secretary to instruct the police chief to pull up anyone who dares to frisk him anywhere, lest others catch those deadly germs. He is also afraid of inadvertently transferring the frisking allergy to the frisker himself, and the Union health minister(s), both senior and junior, agrees with him. 

Now that Delhi is swimming and boats are plying on the hallowed roads of the Capital, will the GOI get a breather and wriggle out of the Commonwealth Games citing "act of God" ? Well, since we have spent Rs.11k crores on the games (infrastructure costing another Rs.15k crores), we might as well have some entertainment going in the indoor stadias we built. Even the likes of Bappi Lahiri shows would do, really. Served along with freshly fried pakoras on a wet day, where we can put our feet up (on the back rest of the seat in front) and enjoy a Bollywood feel-good show, we might just forget the Kalmadis and the OC and the national shame and the wealth that has been plundered, et all, and do bhangra in our typical forget-it Indian style. We do not need to wear a Darth Vader mask to do that, just as the games organisors who robbed us of our hard earned money, and our children of basic education, and our parents of health care etc. etc.didn't. Bharat Mata Ki Jai.
