Once upon a time, there was a damsel in distress with a dark past. Around the same time, there was a man, worldly wise, upright and bald. They were different like Mukesh Ambani and Anil Ambani; they belonged to different worlds like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma; they had different aspirations like Manmohan Singh and Sonia Gandhi… you get the drift.
But then something happened; both of them faced roadblocks in their respective crusades around the same time. While the damsel’s noble actions of providing instant gratification to millions of lonely, frustrated and unhappy men around the world were dampened by bolder, younger fresh faces, the honest, determined and simple man’s efforts to make the nation free of corruption were gradually fading into the background as his shrewd, ambitious and manipulative team members squabbled amongst themselves.
So they both decided to make sweeping changes to their lives. They both sought refuge in the ultimate paradise which doesn’t ask questions, doesn’t care about your past, doesn’t set any pre-defined entry barriers (education, qualification, experience)…
The damsel made her B-grade Bollywood debut…
The old man announced his plans of entering politics…
And there you have it, the main cast for India’s next big reality show: Sunny Leone and Anna Hazare…

Well, I dont find similiarity in Manmohan singh and Sunny
Whatever I know through Indian and US media, she has a thriving career and life back there.
This information may not be true ofcourse.
though at the end you said it all for new reality show.
Lets watch the drama. :)
Well..
The damsel did things for a living, and fame. The damsel did not impose things on anyone, and was not a hypocrite(from what i know of her from the media)
The old man thinks, the world should follow his ideologies. And IS a hypocrite in terms of the same ideology he imposes or try to impose.
I respect the Damsel, but i have lost respect for the old man.
But in the end, both will die and end up as dust, just as all of us will.
does it ever matter, for the world, what we did while we live?
Interesting post! Really liked the way the two people were compared at first and parallels drawn between the choices they are making for the future.
Nice one :-)
