Mayawati and Black clothes

This is what I love about her, the sheer power she wields. Hate her with all your might, but black clothes are not being allowed at Kanpur for the latest Indo-Pak match. The reason, ostensibly because she does not want her opponents to wave black flags at her while she enjoys the match but for all you know, she might have had a nightmare involving black clothes.

While policemen are taking all care to check socks, handkerchiefs, scarves, t-shirts, shirts, pants and other clothing are they taking due care to check the underwear as well? If I were one of the spectators, I would have worn big black underwear (twice the size I could fit in) and then after I gain entry, I would go to the rest rooms, pull out the underwear and wave it right in front of Maya Memsaab. At the most, I will be fined for breaking the laws; a small price to pay for getting the District Collector getting transferred, Kanpur SP to be suspended and the local police inspector dismissed for negligence. This will also remind the world that my underwear alone is far more powerful than any other person in UP.

The authorities, who are on their toes when Madam gets into town, must be edgy to the point of having nervous breakdown. Imagine sneaking behind them and shouting at the top of your voice “Black” and then before they get to you, complete the sentence with “Sanjay Leela Bhansali”.

This brings me to “Sawariya”, well done Shahrukh!
