With movies failing to entertain us, ok there have been very few in the past couple of months, its now the turn of politicians to take over. Well have they ever let the countrymen down? Like the prices in the country their entertainment graph too has been going up and up.

After the May parliamentary polls Lalu Yadav and company have been away from the centre stage. They do make appearance once in a while or the mandatory Holi, Chhath showcase. Thank God, the BJP leaders never denied us our daily dose of entertainment and they still continue to do so!

But nothing compared to what M/s Raj Thackeray and company are doing now. The first day of the Maharashtra Vidhan Sabha was just the trailer. The five years will be real treat for all of us. Suddenly the entertainment has shifted from the GECs to the news channels.

I just cannot stop drawing parallels between the two popular Raj’s everybody knows about. One is of course the man in news now and the other who made/still makes girls (now mothers and their daughters) go gaga- Shah Rukh Khan.

While SRK playing Raj Malhotra in Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge (DDLJ), opted for the tough path to get the love of his life, the other Raj of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) has opted for a shortcut to achieve his goal. As we all know in the movie Shah Rukh in the end gets Kajol with her father asking her to go with SRK.

Strange. And we say reel imitating real life. How I wish at least just once the real life also learnt a lesson or two from the reel life. I am sure MNS leaders have done their homework and know what they are getting into.
