Epilogue

  It was the 188th day of the switch. Col Bhuvan Sen woke up in his own body in his own house. He found that he was sleeping alone in the guest room. It was 6.30 AM. He completed his ablutions and did “pranayam” (a form of yoga). Then he went down to the kitchen and made three cups of tea. He poured one cup in a glass and poured the other two into the flask. He then went out to look at the small vegetable garden that adorned the roof of the house. Things were in a state of neglect. There were lots of weeds in the beds. Things would have to be attended to. He went downstairs. The news paper vender came and handed him the news paper. He read it carefully. Things had indeed changed. It had not been just a dream after all. He quietly went to the bedroom and thanked his God. At 8.30 AM he went to the kitchen and poured the other two cups into glasses. He put them on a tray along with a few biscuits and walked into the bedroom. His wife was asleep. He softly said, “Would you like to get up my dear? Tea is served.” His wife opened her eyes and smiled. “Thank God you are back to normal,” she said. “I have been so worried.”

  The President also woke up in his own bed. He was happy to be back to the Rashtrapati Bhawan. It had been a very frustrating time for him. He seemed to have been having a very very long nightmare. The orderly came with the tea and news papers as usual. He read them with interest. Things had really changed.

  Is our political nightmare ever going to end? Are we ever going to be rid of greedy, power hungry, corrupt political leaders who are willing to rob and sell our country for personal and party interests? Are ever going to see an end to the ever growing nexus between the politicians and the criminals? Are we ever going to see the end of the all prevailing corruption that prevents our country from gaining its rightful place amongst the countries of the world? Are we going to see the end of the politics of reservations, of dynastic rule, an end to child marriage, dowry system and other social evils that plague our society? Or are we going to continue to be held to ransom by our various government departments? Are we going to be abducted, terrorized and killed at will by the Mafia? Will our wives and daughters continue to be raped, stripped and burnt at will by the rich and the powerful? Will we enter the 21st Century as a strong vibrant economy under an impeccable leadership or as slaves to the multinationals and the western world? Will we ever have a president who is not a puppet on strings or a party willing to uphold the Constitution and the law at the helm of the affairs?
