The Curious Case of Arvind Kejriwal

P.S: Make sure you have some gyaan on Indian Politics, and these are no accusations against esteemed Indian citizen Mr Arvind Kejriwal, these are personal opinions and no person is forced to read it. These are thoughts open to the world.


The mystery starts with a mystery of two men falling out, with a lady who doesn’t know where to go but eventually relents with the known environment. So it all started with the word Dharna, which also rhymes with the word Anna, call it destiny. Now as far as I can remember the country was going all Jai ho types amidst chaos, where neither the people nor the government knew what was happening. Eventually when they all realised it turned out to be loss of money, time, energy and resources which could have been used by every individual to pay the fees of a child for an entire year. Now that seems less to work for isn’t it?

Now Arvind Kejriwal’s life is like the water that flows where ever it is led to, a child handed a box full of candies and asked not eat them, how fair is that? In the story of David and Goliath, David was calm and did what he had to, he didn't go tickling Goliath asking him to play hide and seek. If only Arvind Kejriwal was David the story would have been perfect. A man’s actions speak for him; I wish I was teaching Kejriwal in class 2 or 3. Ahh IITian and IAS he knows it all. Sorry no offence.

But then we rethink his strategy was it just to get to power or do some work? After the amount of work he could do am sure the maid at our homes deserve a raise isn’t it? He got to power, that’s awesome! Sheila Dixit couldn’t neither could the BJP, but Arvind did (I hope he is ok with the first name, I am sure he will read it). What did we want? We wanted to see how can educated person who won the hearts of people with ideology to work for change, make things better and restore the faith in the system. Isn’t it simple? No it isn’t because there are people around you to make you do things exactly what they want, but just by telling you not to do.

What did he do? Try to touch the bigwigs, for nuts? Candies? Don’t know what he was thinking. He threatened people he wasn’t supposed to, in the end, the fear of corruption that he put in, and made the officials starve for a few days, will only make them more hungry and now that he has gone am sure the officials wouldn’t have made so much money ever!  Sometimes it’s not what a man thinks it’s what a man does. He thought we dreamt, he asked we gave, he ran we suffer!

Now what he expects? That we make him the PM? Destroy our chances of getting a single party majority for once and hope for the best? No no! Mr. Kejriwal a chance that huge and you throw it away because some nut job told you, “You can be PM”?

The video Nayak 2 by AIB just reminds of one more thing, had Kejriwal not gotten out of bed and thought of starting a party. Things would have been different, am sad and happy that he did though.

What are the lessons for us?

·         Be cool not a fool.

·         Do the right thing individually and see how change occurs.

·         Fear may repress for a small time, but later makes people hungrier.

·         Don’t lose hope and next time when someone comes like Arvind give him a chance too. He cannot be worse.

·         But one day the real Nayak will arise.
