It felt good to be back on the roads of Mumbai after long two weeks away from hustles and bustles of the city. This is something that I am used to and probably every mumbaites who has to travel the length of the city. If I do not hit its road it gives me a sense that something is missing in my life, a sense similar when i am no in town too. Not that I adore the crowd and traffic or dislike peace and calm of cushion. In fact it is other way round I detest the traffic the most, and love to be under the pillows, but yet not hitting the roads takes away the very element that triggers a sense of doing something on that day.
While I stayed away from all the actions, there is lot that happened last week and the action is still on. I followed Anna Hazare and his campaign in bits and pieces and I must first salute this man who has swept the entire nation. His clarion call has been taken very seriously and is really heartening to see that people are supporting his campaign wholeheartedly. Now that he has now finally moved to Ramlilla Maidan it would be interesting to know what follows suite.
It has been a cat and mouse game between government and Anna so far and Anna has had upper hand since the beginning. Always a step ahead as though he was aware of government's each and every move. An experienced campaigner, which he is, showed his class and might and also demonstrated that he had been part of Ramdevji's campaign he would have made a difference. Obviously, there are certain dissimilarities between the campaigns, his being more precise and restricted to an agenda, the Jan Lokpal Bill.
