10Acious City

This Republic Day weekend, Sorabh Pant reminds us of how we were, and how we are now

1. It would take logic and purpose to start a new state, and not just by starving yourself for 11 days. By that logic, Nina Manuel should be CM of everything.

2. Our beautiful tiranga stood for certain intrinsic values, and not as a means of self-promotion brought about by humiliating Sania Mirza.

3. Lady Democracy was never a bike-riding babe with an AK-47 and a lathi in the other hand. That babe was in Kabul, but she was thrashed by an American.

4. The Republic Day Parade would be the highlight of DD's annual programming. Barring Karamchand and Fauji, nothing has changed.

5. Manoj Kumar would inspire the country with his films not by complaining about harmless jokes in SRK films.u00a0




6. The minister of state was the voice of a house of Parliament not the voice of the house of a twittering bird, we


.

7. Freedom fighters had to turn the wheel to make khadi, we just have to turn our credit cards at Big Bazaar.

8. Yes, hockey players played the game only for national pride. But, so did hockey officials. And, we can still win gold without them, Mr Mattoo.

9. The best debaters and political minds of the country would start their own political parties, not win Rahul Mahajan's hand in marriage.

10. Chacha Nehru inspired a nation to smile in the face of strife. This rule did not apply to an egotistical, degenerate, DGP from Haryana.u00a0
