Monkey bath

 Monkey bath

Due apologies to my honourable prime minister 🙏

Title is distorted.

But, my spouse, a non-Hindi madam, very keen that I shouldn't miss the talk of a great noble politician, reminds me and her pronunciation seems like “monkey bath”( for Mann ki baat)

( I am even doubtful if monkeys do take a bath for human_like_reasons).

Anyway, Mann ki baat ( #मन_की_बात).

Is very special for me, and unique too🙏

A Pucca politician, speaking to his voters, for 1800 seconds, without ‘touching’ politics…… 🙏 ( please visualise Trump or Putin trying to replicate it 😓.)

A top politician, giving very very valid, precious, authentic and easily verifiable reasons for EVERY Indian to feel proud of his nation,  AFRESH every month 🙏….. did any one else do it hitherto? Etching, engraving history of contemporary achievements in our minds/memories, fetching stupendous events from obscure corners of Bharat 🙏. No easy task. ( Till now, media of all types, history of all types was feeding only “negativity” of Bharat all the time 😜.  The rare few achievements didn't matter as numbers, especially due to repetitions. Imagine a ‘politician’ helping us, (to feel really_proud of our birth_soil,)instead of a historian)

Changing the mindset of entire citizens, to become patriotic, is an unenviable task, which no politician will dare to Risk_his_vote bank.  This PM keeps reminding me of my DUTIES ( not rights) in the Indian constitution 🙏.  Should I not be grateful to such a great politician???  Just imagine, if…..by some miracle, EVERY CITIZEN becomes 100% duty conscious, who needs a machinery for ensuring my rights????  Your_rights=my duties 👍🙏🙏🙏 damn simple!

Generating…..Duty_conscious countrymen is a very laborious and slow process 🙏.  Especially, when basic_human_rights are denied due to a 7-decade-rule by corrupt regimes( whichever political party 🙏). This PM is building a legacy, to be inherited by future generations 🙏.  ( Usually, politicians bother about doling out crumbs only during election, and to last only till they grab power!)

After listening to 100-plus episodes of monkey bath( apologies…. It is mann ki baat मन की बात), if I can “see” a pattern in the contents, there is no reason why any other fellow citizen can't see it 🙏. Literacy immaterial 👍

I am not trying to canvas for any votes.

I am getting, what I missed in my SCHOOL-education 🙏. ( History up-to-date,  reminder of duties as per Indian constitution, inspiration to feel proud of my own dear Bharat 🙏) .  Any spiritual seeker ought to begin with gratitude to own mother—Mother_India, Bharat mata.

Jai Hind 

a humble citizen
