Ask a politician


“What’s that? Talk?”, my grandfather snorted.

“It’s a talk Grandpa. With the Prime Minister. Where he talks to a journalist. In this case Sharma. And maybe just maybe take questions from the audience. I know you have many. You know I could ask him if I pull the lucky straw.”

“Pffft….”, he started to mumble, “Questions… They are for naïve young bloods like you. I wish someone asked why were people like him, politicians ever created?”

He pulled out a hundred-rupee note and dangled it in front of me. That mean furtive smile. I was not falling for the dare.
