Long Sunday read… bring on the abuse, ye keyboard warriors…

I don’t know the age of the people on my timeline who constantly abuse this government or make personal attacks on me and other like me, but it says a lot about their upbringing.
I’ve lived through the rule of Indira Gandhi (I was too young for Nehru or Shastri), followed by Morarji Desai, Charan Singh, Rajiv Gandhi, Deve Gowda, I.K. Gujral, Chandra Shekhar, Vajpayee, Manmohan Singh, and now Modi. I’ve seen them all.
Back then, life meant being happy with a Rajdhani Express (1969), Geetanjali Express (1977), or a Shatabdi (1988) - new trains that came once every few years. We never thought of comparing our railways to Japan, which launched its first 6 bullet trains on one day in 1964. No one abused Indira Gandhi because of that. We were grateful.
Even then a Bengali passenger next to me on the Geetanjali exp in 1978, screamed at the attendant “This is dog food. I won't eat this dog food!”
There was only one AIIMS, in Delhi, and people from across the country waited outside before they were admitted. Their families slept on the footpaths outside the hospital because they couldn’t afford hotels or didn’t have relatives in the capital. We were expected to feel grateful for these crumbs.
Our highways were mostly two-lane roads, while the West already had massive multi-lane expressways.
For cars, we had the Fiat, the heavy Ambassador, or the flimsy Standard Herald. Then came the Maruti in 1983, our first “luxury” small car.
The governments of that era, still socialist at heart, believed the best way to keep the proletariat content was to give them as little as possible. Too many choices, and we might get “spoilt.”
Things only started changing as the 20th century ended, when the BJP first came to power. The Mumbai-Pune Expressway in 2002 led to the Golden Quadrilateral. Suddenly, good roads weren’t just for professional drivers. Anyone who could drive could use them.
The Golden Quadrilateral was dreamed up in 1999 under Vajpayee, but after the BJP lost power in 2004, progress slowed. When I drove on it in 2007-08, I saw Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s name and photos crudely scratched out or pasted over with Sonia Gandhi’s pictures. The project was eventually completed in 2012, but everyone still knows it as Vajpayee’s dream project.
In just 12 years under Modi, India now has 25 approved AIIMS — 20 of them fully functional. The first Vande Bharat train ran in 2019. Today, there are over 80 Vande Bharat routes across the country.
During the COVID lockdown, both my maids received government food and aid. One of them told me, “I have a year’s supply of grains and oil at home.”
Frankly, Modi should never have built so many new trains, hospitals, and highways. He shouldn’t have given food aid to the poor or income tax relief to the middle class. He shouldn't have given us the choice of mobile phones and 5G services. All it did was make us greedy for more.
He should have kept throwing us small crumbs like the old Congress governments did. Then we could all be like Oliver Twist, hold out our bowls and plead, “Please, sir, I want some more.”

I didn't watch the IPL, but I've been hearing and seeing clips of Virat Kohli’s absolutely loutish behavior with Indian captain Shubman Gill. Virat is a great batsman, does he really need to behave in this manner? Six days a week he exhibits boorish behavior on the field and on the seventh he visits some godman to cleanse his soul?
It's a pity, he didn't learn classy behavior even after playing under Tendulkar.
