Mr Speaker Sir,

I today do not have sarcasm to dish out for you. I only have tiny wee bit of praise for you. Its good to see some one stand on ethical ground when every one is following barter trade of MPs. Sir it really seem nice to see some one stand tall and what he think is right. You were bestowed with a responsibility which is above your in party responsibilities, and stuck to the moral ground…Thats the way to go. I dont know about any sins you did, or any of your great deeds, but as far as your recent decision is concerned, you did a great job. Best of luck for tomorrow…

Yours Truly

Hi,

How are you, in one of the most gleefull times you ever had ‘ how wre you’ must be seeming like unwanted question. But what can we do, we Indians are prone to ask few senseless question in senseless times. Shibu, I just heard on a news channel that you are going to support congress in the forthcoming (that is day after tomorrow) electoral drama. I felt great that atleast one person utlised his seat in lok sabha for country. It is our priviledge to have leaders like you. The confidence you exuded in your TV interview showed that you are not suffering from TB, and ther would be no sudden health diminution as it alwasy happens whenever you are booked under any of your crime you have supposedly done.

Shibu, (or is it Shiboo- never felt like asking you) both of us know about the chemistry we share, and both of us know that what both of us want from each other, and you bet, you are dilivering each bit of it. Like I said, you did a wonderful job by picking up your side from the pack. But I only want to know what bargain have you got. Being a freind you should have at the least asked me for some advice regarding the bargain, and I am really feeling hurt as you didnt. Something must have prompted you to do so, I think you are not keeping good company.

Shibu, in all these days you havent even bothered to tell me as how you were acquitted from the murder case. I mean you never told me about that bargain. After seeing your bargaining skills I am sure Bhabhi Jee must be having few ravishing banarasi sarees which you must have either bargained from your friends in UP or from shops, in both of the cases it would have been free. If Congree wins the confidence vote, and you get a ministry (coal; i suppsose) and with that a house in Delhi, I would always seek your company whenever I visit Palika Bazaar, man you would be awesome there, I am a really bad bargainer.

Coming to another important topic, do you really know why congress is such a fix or were you just busy teaching the art of bargaining to your pupils. Ahh no its not about Soniya jee’s alien roots, its about my energy needs being fulfilled by nuclear energy. I know you have already bargained your local electricity department to not to have electricity bills dropped at your doorsteps, or for that matter never leaving the door of eletrcity department. Some how I havent been able to chalk out such a bargain with Bhopal electricity department. Hey you were a teacher in school, werent you, thanks god you left teaching else we wouldnt have seen such a master bargainer. This also shows that god listen to smaller ones.  So where were we, yes about nuclear energy. Government Of India sans Left has gone into a deal with US sans you, so pathetically idiotic…they are looking for you now, when they need you just as a seat. They must have sought your help when they were bargaining for a better deal, hmm these foolish congressmen, never understood your true worth. Leave the crap, I think you have just taken the right decesion to take side of your seat, as we might just get nuclear energy in coming ten years rahter than twenty, ans Jharkand will surely have you Son/Daughter as their CM sans electricity.(Too al those who do not know Shibu, he was nat a teacher of science, bad at it, so I never felt like telling him about nuclear physics.)

Shibu I just hope that in your busy life in and out of Jail/Parliyament/House/Hospital/ and most importantly your Baragaing class you do not forget me, the one who gave you the book, ‘Art of Bargaining’. And with the ending note of your long life I also want to tell you that I am waiting for the first copy of ‘Babuan guide to Best Bargain’.

Yours Truly,

Kartik Trivedi.

Note : (not for you shibu) this post is all because of Abhishek Agarwal, he reminded me that I havent written letters to my friends and this is an urgent time to do so. Thanks mate, and from now on I try to write a letter a week.
