Who would you support, a Tele-marxist or a tele-Yogi? Swami Ramdev has invited Brinda Karat for a
pranayam session at his ashram. She should accept the invitation. Just curious, why did she suddenly take on Swami Ramdev. Well, probably because she had a lab report. Was CPI(M) aware of what she was going to do. But again, she is new to politics. Very new. A TV veteran though. Was wondering if she has access to the archives in AKG Bhawan. Then she might want to read about the 1978 Salkia Plenum of the CPI(M. In short it talked about restoring democracy within the party. It also said that the Secretariat not the secretary should talk. It said if power was concentrated in the hands of one or two individuals, CPIM will lose out its cadres. Forget Salkia, more than everything, if CPIM wants to carry on its long march in the Hindi heartland, armchair Marxists should retire.
My first memory of Imran Khan goes back to Eden Gardens, Calcutta. 1987. My first Test Match. I remember Imran running in from the Club House end and the crowd roar. So when I first met him what did I do? Almost just a hello, goodbye. Except like a Turntable pin stuck on the 45, I kept saying Eden Gardens, Eden Gardens.
A good friend says that this blog is similar to the way all my stories are. Without a proper beginning, or an end. Like Adoor Gopalkrishnan's movies as my friend would say. My 30 seconds with Imran Khan was definitely an Adoor Gopalakrishnan moment.
