the mahajan enigma

when my mom who never finds anything good to say about anyone in politics takes a moment n prays for a departed soul you understand that pramod mahajan was in a different league.

of course like any other politician he had his share of controversies and propagandas..political n manipulative games too maybe, but there was some charm about him that made you stop and take notice whenever he s on air in tv.

few of our leaders had an appeal with the youth, especially the urban ones often indifferent to political matters, you had to be someone different to strike that uncanny chord, for me it was the fact that we shared the same birthday that drew me into his fan club.

i wonder if his death, though very much untimely, was the best way for him to leave us, not in the sense that his brother killed him but a sudden death unforseen and avoidable way of dying always catapults a man to further glory, something he may not hav achieved had he lingered onto a more natural way of passing away, i wouldn't have been wrting all this had he been on his death bed aged 80 something...

you need to die to achieve greater heights...strange

strange indeed is the way of life!
