I was just about to sit and write this morning when the doorbell rang, persistent and loud! I rushed annoyed and swung open the door to find grinning face with a Gandhi cap standing outside with folded hands.
“Namaste saar,” says grinning face as it tries to walk in, “May I come in?”
“Namaste,” I say, “You can’t come in. I don’t know you!”
“You do know me saar”
“No I don’t.”
“You do saar”
“No I don’t”
“We met five years back saar.”
“Where?”
“Here only saar”
“Here?”
“Yes saar”
“And why did we meet here?”
“I came for your vote saar”
“Aha.. you are..?”
”Your corporator saar! May I come in now?”
“No”
“Why saar?”
“Do you know how many times I came to meet you?”
“No saar?
“But you never had the time. You were busy, too busy and your men sent me away; goons who stood outside your office door with smirks and sneers on their faces! They nearly roughed me up when I tried to insist on seeing you!”
“What you came to meet me for saar?”
“Road outside my house not repaired! No water in my tap, garbage in dustbins, outside rubbish never lifted, what are you doing?”
“Writing it down saar”
“Now? But it is time for the elections?”
“If you vote for me, I will do everything.”
“Didn’t you say the same thing last time?”
“Did I saar? So many people to speak to, don’t remember all I say saar..!”
“Will my road be repaired?”
“Your vote is my guarantee”
“Will I get water?”
“My symbol is plantain leaf”
“Will the garbage be emptied?”
“Here is your ballot number saar”
“Have you written it all down?”
“Not everything saar: I am standard four fail, I write slowly saar”
“Then how will you remember everything?”
“Come to my office after the elections saar”
“But you won’t have time to see me”
“Then I will come and see you saar.”
“When?”
“Before next election saar..!”8][/size]
