Mr. Prime Minister, are you there?

To the hands of
His highness Mr. Prime Minister,
Prime Minister’s Office,
South Block, Rasina Hill,
New Delhi,
India- 110011

From the Pen of
A concerned Indian,
Writing what's protested
From your society
India

Sub: Letter of concern

It has been somewhere near a month since BJP is serving the nation, and I heard the passenger fares of Indian Railways have hiked up by 14.2% and there are rumors that tobacco (the most consumed product by we the frustrated Indians) will also face an uplift in the price, on a lay man's scale by INR 3.5 per stick. Oops! that's even more frustrating and disappointing for the common man. Our nation, though it had come up with a whooshing support for your 'Bharatiya Janata Party' is believed to have got bitterly disappointed by the your initial efforts. The Congress party that we along with you have cursed for inflation will soon be spotted subscribing to channels like India Today, Q-tiyapa, Aaj tak, India Today Group, So Sorry, and Election-2014 on Youtube where they won't hesitate even a bit to ridicule, criticize and condemn you along with the channel crew. 
Sir, I on my part firmly believe that your approval for these decisions must have been backed up with a humanitarian approach and a mindset of concern for us, the common man. But, unfortunately that's what my million other countrymen might not understand. India that you're showing is in the light, but the India that they've seen for the past 65 years and more is in the dark. It is unrealistic, unreliable and fearful for us to keep our hopes stringed with you until the so said 'Good Days' finally do arrive. Believe me sir, I am not an atheist in your game plan, but that's what a million other might be. This nation is of followers, we intimate what we see people doing out there, and in the present moment we are all intimating questions of betrayal, confusion and unrealistic judgments; which someone somewhere is making us poke  you with.  Believe me even though when you're sitting on that royal chair, planning a better and glorious future for us, there's a ghost somewhere who too is ruling us from your vicinity. The question comes-HOW?
Let me elaborate on this, as I said above, we are a nation of followers, in more simpler terms we are the descendants of the monkey family, and the most common thing about monkeys is that intimation is their birth right. Show a monkey a razor and it'll pick one too; pull it over your cheek and it'll do the very same. This simple fact is well understood by people around you and I guess you too know that very well. In a nation of religious beliefs and varied cultures all you need to bind people behind your logic is a story. For instance, umm... let’s take your story. Connecting the dots backwards you narrated your story being a Chaiwalah and you related it with ours, and I say there's no offence in relating stories- that's what is needed to be done to make others understand; and your doing was definitely for a better cause, for a better purpose, for 1.237 billion better purposes. But, the in the same way someone else is also selling stories, stories that can harm you, stories that can turn the masses against you, stories that might trigger agitation and loss of hope from your system; and their stories begin from your authoritative orders.
Coming back to the point where we had begun the discussion, inflation. Mr. Prime Minister, now that the Railway rates have already hiked I urge you to give a Metro like development to the blue trains of this nation. Can our trains not become cleaner and hygienic with trustworthy safety and security to the motherly women and sisterly girls? It is a pity that our trains that touch every part of this nation lack water and cleanliness, and trains that run in your capital are always gleaming and glistering. When the people using both the trains are same, so what brings the difference?
As they say- the first step is the hardest one, empathizing with your responsibilities I understand that starting a fresh term in a government is always difficult. There are pitfalls of the previous government that you have to cover up. There are big smiles to bring on the entire nations’ face that might in the beginning come with a gaze of surprise or even betrayal at times. But, at the end of the day the distance covered speaks for you. What I’ve heard from your officials as a reason for this price hike is the present under-loss state of the railways. Anyways, focusing only on the brighter side, optimistically, I Mr. Prime Minister hereby ask for your kind support and cooperation in the remaking of this nation. For such a remaking that would startle the entire world, and I believe you will in lieu of the 14.2% from the common man.  


Jai Hind!
