Fantasia

When you start building an image, you could never stop it.
As you continue to build the image, the image will become larger than the real you.
And you may continue to build that image even after death.

In the movie Fedora, the opening scene is a funeral. A large number of people were waiting in line with sad face to pay their homage and last respects to their favorite movie star Fedora.

The dead body of Fedora was kept in the front hall. When people looked at the body, no one believed that their favorite Fedora was dead; they felt that Fedora was in a deep sleep.

No body cares about Fedora's age; for her fans, Fedora is always sweet sixteen. In fact, the dead body looked like a 37 years old lady; and with make-up, Fedora looked as a young lady in her early twenties.

After three hours, the front door was locked and the crowd was informed that the door will be opened after two hours break. After the door was locked, a team of biological doctors, medical professionals, hair style experts, dress designers and costume experts started working on the dead body for the next display session.

And a sixty year old lady came down from the balcony in a wheel chair and suggested corrections to the professionals. Once the professionals were done, the old lady went around and approved the work. The door was opened for the next three hours for the fans to pay their last respects to their dream lady Fedora.

The sixty year old lady went back to the balcony in the wheel chair and watching the people coming to her funeral. Yes. that sixty year old lady in the wheel chair was the real actress Fedora.

Fedora built such a large image than life, she needed to maintain the image even after her death. The person who was dead; that was her daughter. Fedora kept her private affairs as top secret. A few days ago, Fedora killed her daughter and then conducted her own funeral for her fans. Fedora felt that her fans deserved a grand funeral of their favorite star.

After a few years, the real Fedora died and the municipal van took her body for cremation.

Image building is a serious mental health disorder. The moment the person stops it, they will vanish in thin air; just like a balloon. You need to maintain the air-pressure inside the balloon. The moment you ignore it, the balloon will be gone forever.

Kannadasan said about a political leader. That politician was always concerned about his image. On any occasion, that politician had to be the Prime person. If it was a wedding, that politician wanted to be the Prime person; in wedding the politician wanted to be the bridegroom. If it was a funeral, that politician wanted to be the dead body.

Narendra Modi has a serious image building disorder.

Traditionally, on the Budget day, the Finance Minister used to be the Hero of the day.

When P.V. Narashima Rao was the Prime Minister, the Finance Minister Manmohan Singh was the hero on budget day.

When Atal Bihari Vajpayee was the Prime Minister, Yashwant Sinha was the hero on budget day.

When Manmohan Singh was the Prime Minister, Chidambaram and Pranab Dada was the hero on budget day.

Now, it is Modi's budget.

Narendra Modi prepared the budget and asked Arun Jatley to read it in the parliament.

In fact this what happens in the Judicial Branch too.

Narendra Modi prepares the judgment and asks the Judges to read it in the court.

In fact, on high profile cases in the Supreme Court, High Court, Narendra Modi is deeply involved. Narendra Modi not only prepared the judgment but also fixes the date also.

Narendra Modi fixes the date for the delivery of judgment on high-profile cases.

India has already lost its Magna Carta Libertatum.

Short definition of Magna Carta - everybody, including the king, was subject to the law.

It's not Arun Jatley's budget; it is Narendra Modi's budget.
It's not NDA budget; it is Narendra Modi's budget.
It's not BJP budget; it is Narendra Modi's budget.
It's not RSS budget; it is Narendra Modi's budget.

Here is the list of NDA:

• ShivSena
• Chandrababu Naidu
• Ram Vilas Paswan
• Punjab party
• Anbumani Ramadas

Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Manmohan Singh always consulted with the other party leaders.

Only Arun Jaitley could continue as the Finance Minister in Narendra Modi government.

If Subramanian Swamy was the Finance Minister, it would not be Narendra Modi budget.

It would have been Subramanian Swamy budget; but Subramanian Swamy would take other members of NDA along with him. Subramanian Swamy will not isolate other NDA members.

It was good that Arun Jaitley lost the parliament election.

Had Arun Jaitley won, he would have been just a Member of Parliament.

Since Arun Jaitley lost, Narendra Modi gave both Finance and Defense to Arun Jaitely.

Narendra Modi was convinced that Arun Jaitley could never challenge him.

In 1945, Winston Churchill faced the election.

Earlier Winston Churchill won the war; but later Winston Churchill lost the election.

Accidentally,  the Labor Party won the 1945 election.

Their main strategy was India.

Winston Churchill knew the value of India; India was Winston Churchill's lady love.

For Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, India was Mother India; 

but for Winston Churchill, India was lady love.

The fact is, both loved India.
Clement Attlee had no knowledge about India.
Clement Attlee was ready to lose India.
In 1945 election, Clement Attlee declared that when they came to power, they would give freedom to India; not only to India; freedom to Canada, Australia, Singapore, Burma, Ceylon also.

Clement Attlee brought the Great Briton to an ordinary Briton.

We need to thank Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi; in addition, we need to thank Clement Attlee too.

In 1945, Clement Attlee introduced the NHS. It is still going strong.

There is no need to build a huge image. If your objective is good, it would yield its results.
When people see the results, they would celebrate you.

Why do you need to blow your pipe so loud everyday and night.

When we visit Disneyland, we feel good. We enjoy the fantasia. We enjoy the roller-coaster ride. But we cannot live in that image for the rest of our life. We come back home and start living a normal life.

Take a break; stop building Fantasy India.
