Here's my top reasons why I think I should contest the next Lok Sabha elections from Pune
7. I have potential to be a good politician. I look good (not as good as the Scindia kid, but not quite Amar Singh either), I speak the 3 main languages spoken in Pune (Marathi, Hindi, English) fluently along with it all its 10 or so dialects (Anglicised Marathi, Anglicised Hindi, Anglicised English, North Indian Hindi, North Indian Marathi, North Indian English, Puneri Marathi, Non-Puneri (but Maharashtrian) Marathi, Sadashiv Pethi English, Camp English, Puneri Hindi), I pay my taxes regularly, I actually drive my own car. In short, I am one of the people..
6. I am not a bad politician either. Been married for almost 5 years now. So, every sort of situation can be handled. The confidence is there.
5. The country now needs young blood, and I need a stimulating challenge. Every politician says so. (About the young blood part, not the challenge part). Probably why a politician ranks as high as Dracula in public estimation. Even "yuva neta" Rahul Gandhi is 8 years older than me.
4. I have an advertisement at my desk with Saurav Ganguly posing which says "With Chirag, my India can dream big". So, I have all of the Durga Puja Sansad of Pune members in my camp already. Now if only I can get Sachin Tendulkar and MS Dhoni to do this ad...
3. C'mon, admit it. If you're reading my blog, I think you think I make sense most of the time. Not bad for a politician.
2. I heard the deposit is Rs. 10,000. People spend more on mobile phones these days.
1. How much worse than Suresh Kalmadi can I be?
There, I said it. Give me more such reasons and massage my ego.
