Late but still . . . . .

I used to listen to a ghazal whose lyrics were somewhat as follows:
Der lagi aane me unko|
shukr hai fir bhi aaye to||
Aas ne dil ka saath na choda|
Waise hum ghabraye to||

When I saw Shivraj Patil's resignation (what did he wear while writing his resignation note - Gucci/ Givenchy/ Giorano ;))
I thought -
Der lagi jaane mein unko|
Shukr hai fir bhi Gaye to||

Though he is a miniscule non-existent thing, but each time I heard or read his comments, statements, I just hoped he gets kicked out of the government.

Look at Madeliene Albright and look at this ex-hommie of ours. I remember he visited that Gujarat 2008 blast site in peak monsoon wearing all white with white shoes and palms folded one over the other in front of him as though he is in a prayer meeting.

Countries like Spain and Argentina also have strong female leaders who are miles better then this dud.

I hope he lives a long life on the sidelines of abject anonymity and each of these terror deaths haunt him and make him gaunt. Words like failure, weak, useless etc are understatements for him. There is actually no word in our English dictionary to describe this "thing".
