Kalmadi-mentia

Bollywood has lent some of the classic tricks we Indians use to tackle some very difficult situations in day-to-day lives. The most popular trick in this bunch has recently been used by none other than Suresh Kalmadi, the Ghaplaa king of CWG fame. The trick is called, "MAIN KAHAN HOON?"

In this trick the protagonists says he or she has memory loss and can not remember things or people around them. After waking up from what appears to be a nice deep nap taken after the shoot was paused after lunch, the actor does not waste his time in fiddling with words, and uses the same phrase everyone has been using, since the dawn of the industry, "MAIN KAHAN HOON?".

Apparently Mr. Kalmadi is also pulling of the same scene, but with much more believability. Reports say that Mr. Kalmadi as been suffering from Dementia for last four to five years. And this may affect the trial of CWG scam. How? Well, For starters, Mr. Kalmadi may forget the details of the scams he has pulled off in recent past. Maybe the scams that people have been accusing Mr. Kalmadi of, will be proved to be mere situations where Mr. Kalmadi just forgot the calculations and approved the tenders blindly.

Or maybe this will take the trial to a fast track, maybe super-fast track, so the judgment will be delivered before Mr. Kalmadi forgets all the details. But this being India, the things may not take this turn after all. Maybe Mr. Kalmadi will get "Baizzat Bali"ed and live his remaining life like Amitabh Bachchan in the second half of BLACK. But for now, he has pulled the forgetfulness trick perfectly.

If things go on like this, it won’t be long before justice itself in India is forced to ask the question, "MAIN KAHAN HOON?"
