When I felt proud because of you Anna..

I boarded the train from Andheri to Vile Parle. When the train started running I heard the conversation between two uneducated men. 

One man said, ‘Abe saala aaj subah anna ka phone aaya tha (I got a phone call from Anna today).

‘Kya bola re woh (What did he said)?’ the other man asked.

‘Woh bola kab tak bhooka rahu?, tu zara Sonia ko samjha ki maan jaaye lokpal bill ke liye. Roz roz bathroom me chup chup ke kab tak Vada Pav Khaata rahu mai?(Anna pleaded can you please requested Congress President Sonia Gandhi to accept the Lokpal bill. I can't stay hungry anymore and fed up of secretly having Vada Pav’s in bathroom)’, he replied.

They both started laughing, which made me angrier.

I turned around, pointed towards the one man asked other one, ‘Tujhe iske baap ka naam pata hai? (You know the name of his father?)’.

He replied surprisingly ‘Nahi yaar’.

I showed my middle finger to them ‘Saale chutiye tujhe tere dost ke baap ka naam nahi pata aur tu uss aadmi ka majak bana raha hai jisse aaj desh ka bachcha bachcha jaanta hai, kyunki wo kuch achcha kar raha hai hamare liye. Khud ko aaine me dekh fir kisi ka majak banana .(Fool you are, you don’t even know the father’s name of your friend and you are making fun of Anna. Every child in my India knows his name because of the great work he is doing for us. Watch yourself in the mirror and then laugh on other.)'

I was so angry and pissed off that I wanted to slap them hard around the face. Then I closed my eyes, to calm down I start counting from 1 to 10, someone gave me a great pat on the back. When I opened my eyes I saw everyone in the luggage compartment of slow local train from Andheri to Churchgate started clapping.

I got goosebumps and felt proud because of you Anna.
