Gujarat Uncle

        Gujarat is celebrating its 50th anniversary all the buildings are ordered to be illuminated in the capital city of Gandhinagar and the order is followed, in some cases, to compete with bright daylight. Indeed Gujarat has sufficient electricity to spend and I don’t think lively and celebration hungry Gujaratis will mind this extravaganza.

         I admire Narendra Modi for many things. And one of them is, keeping Gujarat at a good pace, having sufficient electricity being a part. When almost whole country, particularly north India, is suffering from power shortage, it’s probably Gujarat alone, with out load shedding and power cuts. Though it’s vary difficult for me to ignore the wastage of electricity in the wake of it’s shortage and global warming but I see, people enjoying the show and I carry a soft heart under my ribs. Though nature, in Gandhinagar, is celebrating Gujarat’s 50 yrs in its own way, amaltaas who had shed all its leaves, around a month back, is bright happy, covering itself with yellow flowers and it seems, it has forgotten to wear the traditional green. I remember a couplet frm a famous poet

        अमलतास ने आँखें खोली..... शेफाली शरमाई

     While every one, including Mother Nature, is deeply in to celebrations, lets forget whole of the country is ‘power hungry’ and farmers in very Gujarat are getting only eight hrs of electricity. Let’s welcome Gujarat uncle's grey hair with yellow flowers in day and lot of electricity during night.
