A. Raja (TGM has put a kala tika and a special jhadoo to ward off the evil eye) |
Andimuthu Raja is one such gem. He is a great philanthropist, a modern day Robin Hood. He stripped the good-for-nothing Indian Government of Rs 17,00,00,00,00,000 and benefited many common people in the process. After such remarkable achievement, he certainly deserves to enjoy a big slice of the Rs 17,00,00,00,00,000 extra-cheese pizza, but no, Indians have a tendency to bring down the successful. Sadly, A. Raja had to resign as the Telecom Minister yesterday, but that doesn’t mean we should let him fade into oblivion.
We should never forget our heroes, because they have made our country what it is today!
They must be honored, so that our youngsters emulate them and lead successful lives. Here is a song dedicated to A. Raja. Each line is supposed to be sung twice.
Someone cast an evil eye, Raja, on your royal treasury
Someone cast an evil eye, Raja, on your royal treasury,
Had I been, Raja, the head of CAG,
I wouldn't have ever blamed you, Raja, for the multi-crore robbery,
Someone cast an evil eye, Raja, on your royal treasury…
Had I been, Raja, your darling daughter,
I would’ve studied abroad, Raja, and wedded most lavishly,
Someone cast an evil eye, Raja, on your royal treasury…
Had I been, Raja, the feisty Arundhati,
I would’ve fought like a cat, Raja, to let you make more money,
Someone cast an evil eye, Raja, on your royal treasury…
Had I been, Raja, a maidservant at your mansion,
I could’ve gotten diamonds, Raja, each year on Diwali,
Someone cast an evil eye, Raja, on your royal treasury…
Had I been, Raja, the President of India,
I would’ve invoked, Raja, my dead Guru for your prosperity,
Someone cast an evil eye, Raja, on your royal treasury…
Had I been, Raja, the author of The Grist Mill,
I would've written and sung, Raja, paeans for your bravery,
Someone cast an evil eye, Raja, on your royal treasury…
Oops, but I am the author of The Grist Mill, and I have been singing this song for a while now. In case you are a fan of any other shining figure, such as Suresh Kalmadi, Madhu Koda, Laloo Prasad Yadav, or your affluent neighbor with considerable upar ki kamai, you can replace 'Raja' in the song with their first or last name. To read about their accomplishments, follow the links on their names below.

Here is the original song in which Dev Anand looks pretty funny. The real life heroes, au contraire, are much more flamboyant than him.
LOL! That is so apt! Our 'heros' are getting such a raw deal, when all they do is think of the 'aam aadmi' ;)
ReplyDeleteFirst time here, and loved it!
Hahaha!!
ReplyDeleteSo true. :P
Money involved in this scam never looked sooooo huge until I counted zeros. :D
It's such a pity Mr A. Raja probably doesn't have the brains to go through this post and understand too. Kickass song btw. :P
ReplyDeleteGreat post. You know what? these worthies might think that they are actually being serenaded :D
ReplyDeleteHaha..The Jhadoo makes a comeback. Antilla must be feeling lost!
ReplyDeleteAnd hail Raja...the Raja of all scams!!
Btw your jhadoo is too pretty!
LOL, what a hilarious post. Brilliant song there! =))
ReplyDeleteLoved eeet! The jhadoo and kala teeka editing is awesome!
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame he had to resign! tsk tsk tsk...
Well, atleast we the citizens came to know the potential money that we have in our country! Nevertheless! :P
Wow... great!
ReplyDeleteOne amongst award winning posts.
ReplyDeleteYes, Javed Akhtar could lose his job.
Hey thanks for reading and leaving such encouraging words :-))
ReplyDeleteLooks like I too have to wear a jhadoo and kala tika....Someone had cast an evil eye on me and I've been suffering from headache in my tooth for past few days.
Omigosh, I can sing your song to the tune of "Please Don't Go"! :D
ReplyDeleteHilarious!
ReplyDeleteA refreshing post,finally someone is recognizing the achievements of Raja:)
Hahaha !! Really cool post after so many hot in newspapers !
ReplyDeleteRindo, Abhi, Anupam, thanks for reading :-)
ReplyDeleteLOL Nobody but the author of The Grist Mill could do this :) Absolutely fabulous!
ReplyDeleteYou should contact Vimmuuu (A blogger and it is double m, triple u) to sing this and make a video - Vimmuuu is known to be able to sing in both male and female voice. He once posted 'Chaiya chaiya' sung entirely by himself.
@IHM: The author of The Grist Mill says thanks!! I will look for Vimuuu now :-)
ReplyDeleteHeh heh here it is. Did you think this was too crazy to be true? Vimmuuu's first bisexual song.
ReplyDeleteOops.
