The home page of Flipkart advertised a book called "One Life Is Not Enough" by Mr. Natwar Singh revealing several things about the Gandhi Family. So I just looked for the book as to how thick is it ? and It turned out to be sufficiently within my reading capacity. Also my Indian tendencies were captured by a 15% discount. Although I was not interested in reading Political Revelations, but couldn't help it from the value for money aspect.
Also the trending #NatwarSingh hashtags on Twitter made me dive-in more for the facts that the author wishes to reveal. First I thought him to be a new "Trojan Subramanyam Swami". But then I realised that people are so damm scared, Be it in School or in College or in Real Life. In School the Headmaster scares us with the stick. In College, students are Wooed with attendance and in Real Life people are threatened by death.
Mr. Natwarlal at the age of 83 revealed the truths about Sonia Gandhi and much of the Gandhi family and how inefficient and passionless Rahul Baba is. But from instincts we all knew that, & also we have made a lot of jokes about the Silence of Manmohan Singh, the Italianness of Sonia Gandhi and ROFL Rahul Gandhi too. As a matter of fact Congress has been in limelight via negative publicity which BJP has taken a good advantage of.
On remembering Batman Begins I first thought Mr. Natwar Singh to be a Bruce Wayne who stands for Justice, despite the evil intentions of his master, saves the city from destroying. But as I wondered, there was no bravery in telling these things to the world when Nothing was at Stake. You dont become a Julian Assange or Edward Snowden just by exhumation of the Dead.
The real strength lies when you fight against the Dynasty during their tenure and saving India from wrong decisions. We may make a lot of Kejriwal jokes, call him a racist. But the end of the day we need to realise that standing against Black Money is not racism. He may be making a lot of mistakes but he is not a Critic who comments from the back seat.
My transition of thought form Batman Begins to Wikileaks to Kejriwal have now made me believe that I am totally wrong. Writing such books is no Bravery Its like hitting the Principal's Car with a stone on the last day of your School.
As I have read the book early enough so I am thinking of returning back the book to flipkart through their return policy....Just Kidding flipkart...I am a loyal customer.
