Hey there, stranger

Source: www.theguardian.com

It’s been a very long time, which I’m sure you’re aware of. I’d like to say that it was your decision alone to keep this distance, but I think we both know it was for the best. I’d like to say that I’m glad you are well, but as we both know I have absolutely no idea how you are.

The one thing that can definitely be said is that when we cut ties, we leave no strand behind, but slice right through until we no longer remember how to find each other. It’s amazing to think that once we were so close, the best of two person.

I sometimes find myself wondering why we couldn’t stay in touch. Would it be so bad if we got together for coffee from time to time? Or if we gave each other a ring to see how the other was doing?

Using the phone to make calls has become archaic, but surely we could send a text to wish each other a happy birthday? Or a happy New Year? I mean, we’ve been through so much. You were a part of my life and there is nothing I can do to ever change that.

You can’t be forgotten because forgetting you would be like forgetting myself — impossible. But then again, maybe you are right. Maybe we are better off as far apart as possible.

We know we aren’t right for each other. We know it would never work, and we know the relationship we have — we had — created a bond that would make slipping back into romance too easy.

It would make repeating the same mistakes too likely, repeating the same heartbreak certain.

So all that I can do is wish you the best. Wish you a great, bright, loving future. Wish you to find the lover of your dreams and to create a lifetime of your fantasies.

I wish for you to find a person as great as me, but a much better partner. One who won’t drag you through the mud. One who you won’t feel the need to bury with guilt.

I wish you all the best and although you will never read this, although we will never speak to each other again, and although you are out of my life forever, I wish you nothing short of happiness.

Never again to be yours,

Your Forever Lost Lover,

Why Kiran Bedi? and not Narendra Modi?

Arvind Kejriwal, led AAP government, resigned from Delhi assembly on 14 February, 2014, after governing for 49 days. Since February 2014, the state of Delhi is under Presidential rule, and now the Delhi voters are all set to vote and elect a new government of which polling day is February 07, 2014 and its results will be announced on February 10, 2014, respectively.

There’s so called ‘Modi wave’ all over the country and the    Bharatiya Janta Party is ruling at the centre, after winning the general elections with thumping  majority, and with that the BJP also got majority voting percentage in almost five out of four states where assembly elections were held in 2013 and 2014.

The BJP is dreaming about to win the Delhi elections under the leadership of social-activist, turned politician, Kiran Bedi, who is the projected face of the BJP for Delhi.

On the other hand, AAP after getting almost eight months of period to energize their party-cadre and after re-working on the Mohalla level is all set to challenge the BJP.

The reason behind Kiran Bedi, projected as the face of Delhi elections and not Narendra Modi, like he previously was the face for Maharashtra, Haryana, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan for the assembly elections is quite simple, BJP is not quite sure of winning majority of the 35 seats which are required to form government in Delhi.

Kiran Bedi as reported by the media and also alleged by the AAP is the real scapegoat in the whole scenario, because if BJP doesn’t win majority seats in Delhi, it will be Kiran Bedi who will be seen as the person who lost and not Narendra Modi.

The BJP wants Modi, for the upcoming assembly elections which are to be held in Bihar and West Bengal in 2016. It doesn’t want the ‘Modi wave’ to be diminished and is in no mood to allow voters to have a second negative thought about Modi while they cast their vote in Bihar and West Bengal.

But after all the failed attempts by Kiran Bedi, to woo the voters of  Delhi and also after few opinion polls indicating AAP getting majority seats the BJP started with its campaign of printing offensive newspaper advertisements about Kejriwal and the AAP.

This advertisement mocks Kejriwal for taking Congress support to form Delhi government in 2013, after swearing on his kids of not taking any party’s support to form government, and also alleged Kejriwal of going against Anna’s principle.

This advertisement mocks Kejriwal for promising to not using luxury bungalow but accepting a luxurious flat in the civil lines, area of Delhi.

This advertisement mocks Kejriwal for disrespecting the country by staging a Dharna last year, and now asking for V.I.P pass to attend the Republic Day, ceremony held at Rajpath, in which Barack Obama was the chief guest.

This advertisement depicts Kejriwal and AAP as the one who are aiding people who are willing to launder their money.

Such personal attacks on AAP chief and the party have become frequent nowadays and makes it clear about the fear of BJP, which isn’t sure even after having Kiran Bedi, as a saviour of their party in Delhi assembly elections.

For now, Just wait and watch!
