Musings On Mush

  Parini, (Himachal Pradesh): Jaal's astrological correspondent has had an exclusive peep into the musings (part 2) of Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee. (Jaal readers would not have forgotten that the first part of the musings emanated at Kumarakom in southern Kerala and this time it is the turn of the northern Himalayan State to have that unique honour.)Our astrological correspondent predicts that Atal's musings will not be over with this part two and further editions may soon follow. Be that as it may, Atalji muses upon the invitation to Musharraffbhai of neighbouring Pakistan which has already yielded international dividends. Even the Congress, et al, have grudgingly endorsed the invite. After all, Atalji knows they have nothing to lose - if the visit backfires, he will be holding the bag but if some benefits accrue it will be because of the 'bipartisan' foreign policy. Atalji hopes whatever the outcome, the very fact of the visit will help his badly bruised BJP to salvage some prestige in the forthcoming elections to the now truncated Uttar Pradesh legislature. Even Jaal cannot predict at this stage how this will help but politicians - if not the voters - always live on hope, don't they? Atalji muses this will also effectively silence his critics in his extended parivar and again Jaal confesses its ignorance in this area too. One thing may help that is Brajeshbhai should clearly be out of focus of the cameras and out of reach of the microphones. It will be ideal if he can go to Parini when the neighbour comes calling and do his own musings there. After all, Atalji's critics will point out if Jayalalithaaji can make her omnipresent companion, Sasikala, vanish for the last two weeks, can't a Prime Minister do the same if not more? Another immediate concern of the Prime Minister when he returns after his musings part two and after his knee operation part two, will be the size and shape of the table. One thing he already knows that it will not be circular. But should it be octagonal, hexagonal or a trapezoid or even a rhombus or triangular or should there be one at all - these high matters of State will challenge even the best brains in the Pentagon. Jaal and the entire world will be watching how this essential diplomatic nuance is going to be tackled by mere South Block. Parini musings, it is hoped, will rule out the 21-gun Bofors salute but may consider firing a Trishul or two or an Agni for that matter. It is hoped if Doordarshan is to be given exclusive rights for the coverage an enquiry will be ordered in advance into the coverage so that the commission of enquiry can start issuing summons even before the telecast is over and Jaal is confident that Sushma Swaraj has already taken it up first with Advaniji and then with Atalji. (Jaal understands she will definitely not discuss it with Pramodji.) Atalji will not be put off when the MFN issue is taken up and when Musharraffbhai guffaws and says his nation has always conferred the MHN status on Hindustan. ( MHN translates into, what else, Most Hated Nation!) Jaal hopes his musings part two will fortify him for this and many more expected and unexpected pitfalls and traps in dealing with this affable military gentleman and his poodles.
