Punjab, Yatras, Kabaddi , missing birth certificate.

Punjab is in an uproar. What with all the yatras being planned to save her , we have the Congress trying to woo us, the Sanjha Morcha singlehandedly ( troika based alliance) trying to effectively wipe out corruption and clean Punjab, I wonder where these chappies were sleeping before . Strange bedfellows , you see. We also have Advani ji coming in to save us with a Chetna yatra .
Next we , have Bollywood invading us at a so - small cost of roughly Rs 5cr ( declared price) and I thought Shahrukh was intelligent , sorry my mistake. He tries ( fails miserably ) and makes a joke about Don being released in Punjabi ! Shahrukh bhaijaan, when did they release the movies in regional languages ? It must be simultaneously when they did them in Urdu and Marathi? Why , the ignorance?
A sport is introduced which has no future of being recognized in Asian , Commonwealth games as this form is not played anymore. Why this political gimmickry on the day when all Punjabis want is a few jobs, reclamation of the lost pride, basic infrastructure and yes save the girls .. where ever are we going to get them? Can't make tigers sit behind a motorcycle, eh boys? We don't want weird Punjabi songs,tired lewd dancers who don't even look native .
My respected politicians who actually make us dance to their tunes aka Pied Piper style  be it the emotional yellow .Bhagat Singh revisited, the Panth which is in danger of being  swallowed by the Congress or the Congress trying hard to not let the Pm visit Punjab. Isn't the Pm above this petty pullings of strings, last I saw the Indian Map , Punjab was in the boundaries!!
Even more pertinent is the question of an aged marathon runner who gives a new meaning to the word endurance and vitality who stuns the world by his feat. But , we have a company who could actually make it big here ( breweries !!) but they ain't no Sherlock . Just because there isn't a birth certificate .. well they can't certify or give Fauja his due. The joke being on them as this man is not even bothered by his awards, felicitations .
Hmm , that is a story for another day , but Im sure some resource ful chap at the municipal corporation could dig out an antiquated certificate from a time where people in the villages were more worried about the birth of their calves or harvest season than kids. But , how would the gora log ever understand all this? The only they understand money and for that they would embrace us..
Now  what matters to be seen , is whether 20 days hence what will end K- cup , Katrina's Jawaani or  Kareena's Chamak challo..

There was a reported increase in the all over lozenge sale in the chemist shops allover Punjab due to the hoarse shouting by politicians who all ever saving Punjab in their various yatras in the state.
