Dogs and Non-Schedues Not Allowed

Am trying to locate a babu who can certify that I am a living form that falls on the human list. If there was one cardinal sin my father ( and his father and his father ) committed, it certainly has to be born on the "general" category. I may yet correct the folly only if I can get myself stamped an OBC or an SC or an ST for that matter. Seems like a good gift for posterity given the rate at which the Indian polity goes about the singular matter of "reservations", the lack of them on the railroads and the excess in every organization of repute. A country of a billion will be run by the dregs of the society because they look good on the vote charts of our wannabe rulers. Get a math handicap in the IITs and somebody with his middle name "ineptitude" in the IIMs and you are sure of witnessing a comedy of errors unroll. Quite a way of entertainment considering the fact that "netas" will still get operated off-shores and I will get injected with a mortein instead of a morphine after banging my head in despair. The aforementioned institutes of higher learning have been the cynosure of all eyes, none the less of those who garnish our seats of democracy. A few gems on an otherwise pathetic state just seems to make a statement in contradiction. What better than bringing them all at par with the great show that is our parliament. Merit is as abhored a word as an expletive in polite company and its sacrilege to subscribe to it. Let us all celebrate the rise and rise of our fall.
