Some of the life's greatest learnings come from places, least expected. A similar such event occurred recently in Tihar jail. Yes, Tihar jail. One happens to meet people in most strangest of places and they leave an indelible impression on you.
The jail's two most famous men happened to bump into each other during the Sunday morning walk. Arvind Kejriwal was his grumpy self, still seething with rage on himself for not having taken a bail. He was lost in thought when he crossed path with another man deep in thought. When Arvind looked up, it was no other than Subrata Roy himself.
Roy looked at Arvind,"Hey, I have seen you somewhere. Are you a politician or an actor?".
Arvind,"I am not a politician nor an actor. Main ek aam aadmi hoon. Meri aukaat kya hai."
Roy - Oh you are Arvind Kejriwal. Of course I remember you. How come you are here? I am sorry but have not been seeing much of TV over the last few days.
Arvind - I did not pay my bail amount.
Roy - Hey, what s that mark on your face? Were you inked by somebody?
Arvind nods with a sad face.
Roy - Hurrah!!! I can't pay my bail, you can't pay your bail.You are inked, I am inked. So we are brothers in shame!!!
Arvind - Haan bhai!!! We should call ourselves the Siyaahi Brothers.
Roy - So what was your bail amount?
Arvind - 10,000 INR, and yours?
Roy - Around 10,000 Crore INR. It s kind of variable...
Arvind - Wow!!! That s a big amount. You are a rich man.
Roy - Yeah dude, but the moment I step out of the jail, I will be a poor man. The bail will suck all my finances. I want to get out of here but without a bail.
Arvind - Oh, why don't you do a dharna?
Roy - Eh!! What is that?
Arvind - It is simple. I do that all the time. Just sit at the main courtyard of the jail with some banners and a bunch of people who will keep on shouting that Bail Nahin Aur Jail Nahin.
Roy - Ok... and then....
Arvind - Simple, start doing a bhook anshan and the jail authorities will be forced to succumb to your demands.
Roy - Wow!!! Cool!!! Thanks a ton man!!! If I am able to get out of here, I will give you a couple of thousand crores as a token of my appreciation.
Arvind - Oh!! No thanks buddy!!! I am an Aam Aadmi. I have to remain a poor man. Meri kya aukaat hai. All this time, I have been toiling like hell to remain poor and also campaign during the elections. But I lost.
Roy - That is what I am telling you yaar... this is new India now. Achche din aaye hain. The common man is quite rich under Modified India.
Arvind - Wow!! Does that mean that I can get to keep your crores and also remain a common man?
Roy - Yups dude!!!
Arvind - Superrrrr!!!! Thanks bhai!!! I will use this money for greater good of India.
Roy - And what would that be?
Arvind - With this money, I will investigate the root of black money in India and how politicians stash their ill wealth in bogus companies which use this money and give the politicians an interest.
