This one is for all the special women…who make this world possible for others, daughters, sisters, mothers and yes, girlfriends too! I have discovered the secret of keeping our clothes white ones specially the white ones pristine white. (And, I am getting myself nominated for the Maa award of the year through this nukkad wala who know‘s this guy who is a peon on the nominating committee for the Indira Gandhi Special Awards under special category). The bribe being that we plan to farm his land so that he is assured of his thekha(we at Sangha Farms are known allover Punjab for prompt payment and we are not land grabbers). Before, I launch on a self-promotion of my family, let me desist right now.
Actually this lightening struck when I kept on seeing day after day our politician’s .The white pristine bleached starched ironed to perfection with crackling creases complete with the Gucci loafers or the trendy Nike’s( the new David Bower man’s , if you please). The success to this Rin like safedi is being oblivious to people’s plight. Why should we bother about how the lesser mortals live? Ki farak painda hian…votes are bought, deals made in a/c rooms with bartering done and areas demarcated. People are divided according to caste; emotions are roused up to play hate politics. Religion is used to rouse up animal instincts and the common man gets slaughtered in this divisive politics. Mind you, all this time there is not a single blot on the kurta...it remains white and heaven forbid, if it would crumple or wilt under accusation. The textile companies secretly in cahoots with the politicians of India have developed this new material which is available to the elitist politician and is only available if you get elected to the select club (oath administered on the same lines as the freemason’s society).
Accordingly, if you develop a T- Rex Type hide where everything bounces off, poverty, social unrest, and environment, corruption, where man is easily dispensable and value is decided in accordance with the votes that garner. I feel the brilliant white gets intensified with each passing day as if by wearing and dazzling the common man one can try to blot or at least diffuse the long list of problems /woes the common man face. Glaring injustice delays in execution and face-saving justice is meted out under the system which is a mockery. The single most dastardly act of Union Carbide people get 2 yrs and then getting bail and simultaneously showing Anderson having 1.2 million $ home ; but having no money to pay as compensation suggests what? Where do our politicians stand? Does it mean that wearing white automatically suggests purity, truthfulness or has the system made us all color-blind? Be crumpled, rumpled wear color but at least be true.

An afterthought: A committee is being set-up to find the textile companies involved in the production of so-called white cloth. So that at least the washing, starching of white clothes is reduced to save water. Products like Rin, Tinopal will be affected but …. What to do. I would appreciate general public to come forward to apply for this committee. ..aloos and coffee on me!
