DOUBLE-FACES, DOUBLE-STANDARDS

Never does he insist donning khadi
instead prefers jeans
or costly costumes
ties he a Swiss-made Mont Blanc
around his wrist
Neither does he preach
the greatness of Charka, (spinning-wheel)
non-violence, nor civil-disobedience
Eats he meat not behind curtains
not stealthily but in the open.
For that matter
never does he don a
mask any moment.
Acts he in films
given a chance.
'My Life is my message'
'Honesty is the best policy'-
thus spake, thus preached
his Great
grand father, Mahatma.
Lives he by the words
of his great grand father
got?
He is Tushar Gandhi.
Who is the true Gandhian?
The ones who swear by
the Father of Our Nation
and live like hypocrits
or the one who
lives as per his conviction?.
You decide...
No double-faces, no double-standards.
no dichotomy.
