Keep it Simple, Silly!

There are a few 'amazing' people I would like to share my thoughts with. So an open letter addressed to them.

Dear Media,
I have quite a few matters to raise with you. But for now, I humbly beg to you that I am not interested in Aishwarya's bump! Stop putting video clip, multiple pictures on your home/front pages screaming AISHWARYA SPORTS BABY BUMP! So what's the big deal? Its beautiful that she is having a baby but its no world record.

Dear Rahul Gandhi,
Travelling by Metro rail to your rally does NOT make you one with the common man. By that act you also mean to imply that your are above 'the common man' and that's why taking efforts to connect with us lowly persons. Thanks man but we are not fools out here. Let me explain why. When I was in the last year of college, you came to Bhaidas hall for a rally. You made life hell for us. How? -

A)even before you probably wake up, the roads are blocked and barricaded for your visit. Mumbai hardly has any roads, and you barricade whatever little is there of it.

B)even walking in and out from the college I was keenly looked upon as if I were a terrorist.

C) My college watchman showed up at the gate for the first time in 5 years and asked for my I.D.! That's a positive, but co-incidentally one of the days I didn't carry it.

D) one cannot even walk on the streets. Its barricaded like a fort.

E) you have a huge battalion around you. A convoy of at least more than 70 people. 5 cars, and two big trucks of constables packed like buffaloes. Not counting the numerous cops on the road and along the barricades.

F) our local rails are crowded anyways, and you would make it all the more worse with your body guards blocking others from getting into your coach.

G)you get all this for free. For being a loud mouth and doing NOTHING.

I would rather have my leader travel in a Bentley or a stretched Limo as long as he manages to do something or atleast doesn't mess up things as per his duty.
Warm Regards.

Dear Sharad Rao,
Thank you for the rickshaw strike. Anyways these guys don't go where I would like to. And the drivers who are of help to me daily didn't go on strike. So the routes were clear and I could reach office faster.
Just one question, you guys go on strike if you are raided for tampering.
But what about we people who are many times flatly refused by multiple autos just because- a) too close b) too far c)too much traffic d)end of shift e)load of other bullshit. Some don't even give a reason. What about that? Are you gonna use hooliganism(as witnessed against those autos who didn't go on strike) to get your profits?
You may gain 5000 votes from these strikers, but u will stand to loose a lot more.

Dear Facebook,
You don't have to integrate Google+ features. They suck! If I want to see enlarged pictures, I can click on the smaller, sensible thumbnails for it.

Keep It Simple Silly!

Much regards,
Anirudh.

-----------Thank You------------
