PRESIDENT OF INDIA WOMEN OF INDIA
This time the election of President has become a topic of hot debate. Shobhaa De has written in Indian Express that Prabha Patil is a non entity and she will not be able to discharge the functions of a President properly. We have to wait and watch. People who are written off usually turn out to be surprise packets. Somehow Pratibha reminds me of veiled Hasina and other Bangladeshi women leaders in appearance. I chanced to see her photos when whe was younger and she is quite good looking in the genre of old world film heroines. In those days, she studied well becoming a lawyer and educationist. She looks simple and unassuming not intimidating. Age is not on her side. For that matter age is not on Shekhawat's or others' side.Suppose if Shobhaa De is elected the President of India. The entire Page 3 will camp in Rashtrapati Bhavan. She will humiliate the Congress at every given opportunity. She will become an anti Congress President to the delight of opposition parties. And then she will start writing a book PRESIDENTIAL NIGHTS for the Penguin Publishers.Suppose Barkha Dutt becomes President. She will be suffocated because she will be gagged for good. I do not want to name that lady, a writer of sorts, who will build resorts for terrorists and make the hangmen unemployed in case she becomes the President.If we elect Nita Ambani, she may turn India into India Corporation whose share prices may dance all over.We are employing foreign coaches. Shall we employ Hillary Clinton as our President?

You have written an amusing piece. What if Mamta Banerjee becomes president? Will she call for bandhs every time she disagrees with cabinet decisions? Or Mayavati. Will she extend her social engineering to neighboring countries and go on to become the President of Asia? Jayalalitha would of course love it if everyone, foreign dignitaries included, fall at her feet in respect. Sushma Swaraj might strike Sonia's name off her guest lists and have the Congress crying foul. Or what about Sonia herself? Not a bad idea. The Nehru dynasty is anyway likely to be reduced to mere symbols in Indian politics, if Rahul’s UP set-back is any indication.
