Gora Saheb

Dear Puppy Manohar

I hate to break this to you, but I have some declassified documents that make it certain. The British left India in 1947 but that was just a hogwash. They only left their physical presence because they need not have stayed here anymore. They had installed their best invention in us to the point of no return.

I was watching myself in the mirror and I realized there is a Gora Saheb in me. There is a Gora Saheb in all of us. He speaks out and takes full control of us at times.

There is no cure to this Acquired Gorasaheb Syndrome. I am not sure we need a cure for it. Its a part of a personality not necessarily a disorder. Thats what we are. But we are all Gora Saheb Positive. Especially the ones that can and do read this.

regards
Baby Vaijayanthi.
P.S: There is of course a black coolie in all of us too. Although I don't want to cure myself of the Gora Saheb virus, I do want to listen to the coolie more often.
