CROSSING THE BRIDGE


Ideology is an alien
word to us.
So are ideals.
But,
ideas are part and
parcel of our existence and growth.
These are times we are
busy engaged in 
weighing the pros and cons
of taking appropriate decisions.
You know,
we are fast nearing
another bridge in our march ahead 
a cardinal milestone
which would assist us in crossing that
bridge scenting the fragrance of victory.
Whenever we
are heading to that bridge
which under normal
circumstances approach only once in five years.
Vast political chessboard is
getting ready for the
ultimate political grandmasters,
kings, queens, rooks, knights
bishops and pawns
are about to take their
positions in the battle-ground
in a short while from now.
In the political chess-board
rules, and regulations
but do not have any salient places.
On the vast political chess board
there are no permanent foes and friends
victory is what matters
when the chips are down.
As of now, we are on
the search for greener pastures
like the animals grazing the grass fields
we take pride in
our oft-repeated stand
of sitting on the fence on the look out for
which way the winds blow.
We know in the end we are the most
valued-ones or put it mildly
the king-makers.
Chairs in the corridors of
power are our ideals, better call it objectives
if at all you are particular that
we must have ideals.
Let the D-Day come.
Let the battle-lines be drawn…
