 A Son's Dilemma.....

Son: papa, may I ask a favor?

Father: of course son, go ahead, what is it?



Son: I want you to condemn me papa

Father: what??????????? But why???????



Son: cos I didn’t fare well in my first term exams, the results were out this morning

Father: so what beta? Work harder for the next exam, why should I condemn you for this?



Son: I mean just like the politicians in this country condemn every act of terrorism, and then do nothing, I thought once you condemn me; there won’t be any other punishment…

Father: ohhhhh….



Son: and papa… the Mumbai blast accused were convicted recently, after 15 years, the godhra accused are yet to be punished, now what will happen to varanasi, jaipur, Hyderabad, malegaon, Bangalore, Ahmedabad accused? Inka number kab aayega?

Father: I don’t really have an answer son



Son: by the time I grow up, maybe every city, and town in India will have blast accused. Papa…for a developing nation, isn’t this a feather in our crown? We couldn’t have water and electricity in every village in last 61 years, but we will have blast accused everywhere…

Father: well, I don’t know what to say beta…



Son: tell me papa, do you want me to become a responsible citizen or an irresponsible one?

Father: of course I want you to be a responsible person beta, but why ask this?



Son: then let me become a terrorist…

Father: what????????????????? But why????????



Son: look at it this way, the common man, and those who serve the nation, the politicians, are so irresponsible, that this country has gone to the dogs, am I right?

Father: ……………………………….



Son: and look at the terrorists, after every bomb blast, within minutes they take responsibility!!

Father:……………………………….



Son: papa…. Are we, as a nation suffering from some kind of a degenerative disorder?

Father: means?



Son: means degenerating from tilak, azad, patel, gandhi, to mulayam, karat, advani, sonia!!!

Father: it is sad but true beta……..



Son: and papa, I want you to become a politician

Father: what????????????? But why?????????



Son: see it this way papa, you are not able to answer any of my queries satisfactorily. Exactly like the politicians of this country. Most of them can’t answer questions when they appear on TV, and havent solved our problems too. So why not become one? At least OUR problems will be solved, and you don’t have to solve anyone’s problems

Father:…………………………………..

kids say the darnest things ....

and oh boy..! the way u let the dad go speechless at the end is darn commendable..

great stuff.!
twisted logic at its best..shall i say...

have ya heard this inky? i dont remember who said it though..

truth(i decipher it as gud/blessed/righteousness)is darn slow..by the time bad(depicting everything evil) has come around the world once;truth is just at the front door,putting his shoes on and opening up the umbrella..

u get the drift na..
