The last communist

We had a host of competitions conducted by our college and though I gave my name for almost 5 events I took part in just one.

I did not even take part in elocution, though the topic was very easy: 'United or divided Andhra'

But well it was changed later and the new topic was 'Prospects of a unified Asia'. The topic made me laugh actually, I was thinking that out here in India people want a Telangana in Andhra, a Gorkhaland in West Bengal, Bundelkhand in UP, etc etc and we are being asked about the prospects of a whole damn unified continent!(yeah I dont know the other names.. I am not a wiz kid n I know I can google it but hey I am lazy n then again it should be me talking, I can google stuff and pretend to be a doctor for all u will ever know :P)

But well then again about the topic, its only prospects right, of course hopefully there will be a unified Asia one day, though maybe very few of my generation live to see it, or if by a miracle there is a rapid acceleration in the development and friendly ties of the Asian countries, we will get to see this dream come true too.

I mean when Europe can have an European Union(of-course not all European countries are a part of it) than why not Asia. Talks are on for a united South East Asia the other countries can come in later too to make the whole continent one big family.

But going by Indo-pak ties its a blasted whim.

United Andhra reminds me of this really nice cahrcoal painting by a Bengali Painter(cant recall the name) from his collection called the 'The last communist'. I had taken its snap from the magazine I saw it in will put it up in the right side above. It depicts how people are rallying or maybe protesting and there are a lot of crows in the background, the metamorphical meaning being that those people are just like the crows, as nothing is going to change through their demonstration. And seriously what do protests help in?? Agitated protesters here in AP have hit the public buses and what is the outcome? The price of the bus tickets has been increased pinching the common mans pocket. I mean the public is so stupid, they destroy public property and then they are the ones who have to pay for it..Ironic huh.
