One language One state ....No more????!!!!!

I was very disturbed and drained out watching the political chaos in Andhra Pradesh on several news channels and I have nothing against statehood to Telangana but it breaks my heart to see the crude manner in which the events that had taken place in the last three weeks. Why don't I put the current situation made easy to understand through two people in relationship say A for United Andhra  and B for Telangana. Let me make it ample clear that I am not taking any stand on either states.....Here it goes
wants to separate. A says, no, I won’t let you go.
B says, sorry, we tried for 50 years to make this work. I want to go my own way. A says, no, I won’t let you go. 
B says, you are not getting it. I feel suffocated in this relationship. You have not been very accommodating. You have never respected me. You exploited me all through the relationship. A says, no, I won’t let you go.
B says, don’t you think you should say few things like, ‘Let’s give it another chance. Let me address your issues’ if you want me to stay with you. A says, I would die, but I won’t let you go.
B says, this is turning ridiculous. I am telling you I want to move out because you didn’t treat me good. Instead of trying to make it work you are just forcing yourself onto me. Aren’t you being little selfish? A says, we should be together because we both speak the same language.
B says, screw the language. I am not going to sacrifice another minute to keep this farcical relationship going on. I am moving out. A says, I will die but I won’t let you go. I will protest and tell our parents.
B says, screw the parents. I am done. You can’t keep blackmailing me like this. You have always exploited me. A says, I will protest harder. I will burn things down. I will riot. But I will keep you with me.
B says, don’t you think this is the right time for you to say, ‘Sorry, I will make amends. I will change. I will protect your interests. Please stay’. A says, you are taking away the mansion you brought in the dowry. I took care of it all this while. I won’t let you have it.
B says, Aha, so this is all about the dowry I brought into the marriage. A says, I invested in painting it.
B says, screw the paint. The entire mansion belongs to me. The last sixty years have been a hell for me. That paint you put on doesn’t even compensate for the pain I have gone through. A says, if I can’t have it, I won’t let you have it.
B says, Get lost, you freak. I cannot believe I lived with you for all these sixty years. I am moving out. Bye, Bye. A says, let’s stay together. We both speak the same language. What will other people think if we break up like this?
B says. Bye. Now, I don’t even know how we stayed together all these years. A says, I will not give you divorce. Let’s see what you will do.

Thoughts and other stuff to share


My blog Salad Days is the place where I try to put down my thoughts. 
Like I say  ,It is an outlet for the sudden, spontaneous and not so spontaneous thoughts which, after finding their way in  grow roots and mutate into something big enough for me to acknowledge their presence in my already over-crowded mess of a brain. 
Well that will be me and my funny blog.. Visit and may be you will find it funny too :)
