5..lakh people came… 5 lakh people walked from Ghoom to NP ground… 5 lakh people saw it and listened to the same old story with a little bit of a twist… and all those who attended (around 50,000) went home… but it was 5 lakh people who attended says Aftyero…. And right now I have no mood to counter argue… for these days “he has become death” and I don’t want to make my “tryst with Yamraj” just yet…
Bhanij… “maiju ta timro paanee ramree nee… jamana maa”… is how Dhanraj mama started our conversation yesterday… those of you who have followed our conversation in the past will recall… Dhanraj Mam’s (fondly called D mam’s ) is a legend in his own right in our area… and our area is a legend in its own right… some like to call it Notorious… we don’t refute that claim… nor do we acknowledge it…
Some of you might remember my friend Aftyero… the person… who banned the booze and the bikes and the holding of the hands and the protesting and everything else that was detrimental to him and his agenda… and true to his namesake Aftyero… he is being difficult once again…
“Sakchhau? Timro maa aant chha?” He challenged us in Old Super Market as we were hanging out one day… way back when… we had all been recently “idolized”... No!!! None of us had any Aant what so ever… but we were all thrilled, because he obviously was “Aantilo”… so we all did what we do best… we clapped… thunderous claps… and whistled and the sky’s and the earth reverberated with the cries of “Daamiiiiiiiii”… “Mitthiiiiiiiii”…
