the train
by Pradip Parekh on Jul 17, 2008 10:56 PM

commie (making himself comfortable in a train seat): wonderful day it is, nice train.
bjp guy just seated next: yes.
commie: love the color too, it is red.
b: (makes a face) i could add white to it, symbolizing sanity, and make it orange. where you headed?
c: kolkatta. you?
b: well, me too, we are co-passengers.
c: the train suddenly feels small now.
b: may be you have grown suddenly big.
c: no, you have.
b: no, you have
c: you
b: you.
c: you wouldn't happen to be communlaist, would you?
b: you wouldn't happen to be a commie, would you?
c: well of course, proudly so.
b: of course me too, proudly so.

(it goes on)

c: well, you know since we both are in the same train, we got to travel in peace. so let me tell you something nice.
b: must be my lucky day.
c: look, there are only two parties with a firm belief and principles; yours and mine. the rest are bunch of horse trading opportunist cowards.
b: yes, i agree and cowards they are.

b: (after a pause) however, our principles seem to work better than yours though.

(train rolls into kolkata station).

commie (smacking the bjp guy): no ours work better, you communalist. you are now in my territory.
b: oh, time to part company, i see. you have home court advantage. does bal thackrey know about your relatives working in commie media in mumbai?
