That's of course a person with whom conversations could be lost in translation. Because he is from a Southern state and not from the heartland (did not say badlands). So a conversation with him could go like this, or any which way...
Heartland Hero- So SoC, what are your plans for today?
Storehouse of Compassion- I am doing a pullout.
HH- From where? Iraq? Afghanistan? But you aren't even there!
SoC- No, no, those I leave for Obama and Cameron..small fry. I am after the biggest democracy in the world..big fry!
HH- Did not know you were so fond of fish fry..I will bring you some next time. But what makes you wanna pull out?
SoC- Bahut din se vella hoon ..kuch kiya nahi, yeh dikhane ka waqt aagaya hai ki hum bhi maujood hain...
HH- Wah, SoC sahab, aap ghazab ki Hindi bol lete ho...aap Pradhan mantri kyon nahi ho jaate?
SoC- Ab umr kahan rahi kuch hone ki? Sirf apne manoranjan ke liye pullouts karta rehta hoon, bus..
HH- Achcha, understood. This is a media conspiracy to increase their TRPs. Nobody was watching TV anymore after India thrashed Australia..and IPL is yet to start. So you are filling the gap.
This could go on, but like all TV shows, we need a break. Milte hain, break ke baad..with a lot of compassion! Ravana, Kalicharana, ennada..
