C.M. Sahab bahut kaam karte hai

Itti si hasi… Itti si Khushi… Itta sa tukda chand ka…

Khawaboon ke tinkoon se… chal banaye aashiyaan…

Aadhi aadhi baant le… aaja dil ki ye zameen…

Thora sa tera bhi hoga, thora mera bhi hoga… apna ye aashiyaan

Well friends, don’t be scared! I am not trying to participate in Indian Idol nor do I have any plans of participating in India’s Got Talent… Phew! I hate reality shows. They are so monotonous.

This is my new caller tune which Suraj hears everyday (Arre yaar, Suraj is my health insurance agent and not the sun which rises in the east and roses in the west), when he calls to remind me of the new policy. Poor guy has been following-up a long time – So bad of me, I always postpone my plans of buying a new policy…. HAHAAHAHAHA J 

Actually, I am thankful to him. His call works as wake-up alarm for me.

We all know how a salaried person feels on Monday L

With a heavy heart, I mustered the courage to get ready for office. Hey, did I tell you guys that your foodie friend has started taking a decent diet and is also running in the morning. Cool na! Chicken Tikka, Tunday Kebab are like my ex-girlfriends – Gone with the wind… Hahaha

So finally, I started for office at 11:30 a.m. – you all know how punctual I am. But mind it, I work really late. I had barely crossed the Wave Cinemas, I saw a man dressed in Khakee with a cap and a stick asking the traffic to stop. With the help of his several colleagues (I guess that’s what policemen call their fellow workers) managed to stop the entire traffic, creating frustration amongst the public. The point was that the Hon’ble C.M. was about to commute from the same route.

25 minutes had passed, but the C.M.’s car didn’t passed from there. In anguish people had moved out of their car to enquire about the status. They were chatting amongst themselves. While some were tweeting the same on twitter, some preferred to post it on their fb wall.

Impatient – that’s what I am- I came out of my car and went to chit-chat with 2 traffic policemen standing near my car.

“Kya haal Ji” – I asked them in our hindi language just to strike a conversation.

“C.M. Sahab aaye ka hain (C.M. is coming)” – One of the policeman said.

The other one was quick to add, “Kahe aa gaye… rail gadi banye hai (What coming, he has made our lives hell)”

“Hamare C.M. sahib bahut kaam karte hain (our C.M. really works hard)”, said the first policeman

Now, my turn, I also needed to contribute my bit so that I didn’t sound moron. I added, “Haa Ji ab C.M. ka kaam hi kuch aisa hai (The profile of C.M. is so designed).

The second policeman started itching his armpit – Yuck! This is how these filthy policemen are. He whispered, “Pheeta kaatat hain (He cuts ribbon)”. Inquisitive, as I am, I asked, “Kya hua (what happened)”.

He said, “Ab ka bataye. Inhai jo hai… bas ghuma kari… jab dekho jabran pheeta kaat rahe hai, park ma jaaye rahi hai, chief guest bane hai, party ma jaat hai, flyover chaalu kare hai, haspataal me eeta rakhe… bas daftar ma na thahariye…  (Now what to say… C.M. is always out – either he is doing a ribbon cutting ceremony or is inaugurating park or is chief guest somewhere or is attending a private party or is inaugurating a flyover or is putting the foundation stone of a hospital. He does all this but is hardly available in office). Long translation… Phew!

The first policeman gave him a hint via a wink of an eye. It was meant to not to share such things with people. But he didn’t got it. He went on to say, “Shaher me bijli nahi hai (There is paucity of electricity in city)”. Just then, the C.M.’s car along with a fleet of officers in protocol passed through the wave Cinemas.

Relieved all, they started moving their machines (cars). While I was driving, the words of the second policeman echoed in my ears. To an extent, he was right.

The city is plunged into darkness but C.M. sahab bahut kaam karte hain.

There are no doctors in Government hospitals but C.M. sahab bahut kaam karte hain

The youth is jobless for lack of opportunities but C.M. sahab bahut kaam karte hain

Law and order is not worthy of mentioning but C.M. sahab bahut kaam karte hain.

Discipline in government colleges is nil but C.M. sahab bahut kaam karte hain

Clerks in Government Offices are still concerned about a paper with the photo of our Father of Nation on it but C.M. sahab bahut kaam karte hain

Issues like water logging, improper infrastructure, etc. have not been addressed but C.M. sahab bahut kaam karte hain.

Indeed, C.M. Sahab bahut kaam karte hain

Finally, I reached my office and resumed my duties.

So friends, bottom line is somethings never change. No matter how many ministers come, the system won’t change. The Government set-up is hell.

Well, bye for now. Thanks for being patient and reading one more blog. Will pester you again in some time with another irritating blog J J
