I have been very verbose about the culture of VIPism so rampant in
the country. And one of its most obvious manifestations is the beacon light on
the car. Particularly in the NCR, adorning the car with a red beacon light is a
disease symptomatic of a exploitationist political system poised to eventually collapse
under its own weight.
MPs / MLAs mount these red beacons mostly without entitlement
on their cars’ roofs, and emulating them, smaller wannabe ranks like Sarpanches
of villages do the same. What advantage it fetches them is clearly beyond my
ken.
Today I saw a red light on a Skoda Yeti HR 36 R 9799. This car also
prominently displayed via a computer generated paper sticker “special observer deputed by Shri Rahul Gandhi”. I took a picture of this car, as I found this
hilarious. And I am impelled to share this picture with you. One must have a
disdainfully low IQ to be able to flaunt a signage of this sort on a car.
I believe, this is one of the many queer ways in which the Gandhi
family could be rewarding unalloyed loyalty. But I only hope, Rahul Gandhi is
aware of this observer who is already basking in the glory of such appointment.
We saw this car parked prominently without a driver at the Spencers Mall in
Gurgaon and then in Ambience Mall again in Gurgaon. It seems Rahul Gandhi
appointed an observer to observe shopping pattern and habits of weekend mall
trotters.
