‘Waka Waka’ Gujarat

Guess the one thing common between Shakira and Gujarat! Both are hot but with a miniature difference. The former is comely, beguiling and curvaceous; while the latter is costumed in an excruciating boil.

‘Waka Waka’ which translates to ‘shine’ has enthralled millions of football fans including me. The new rhythm and nuances are simply mellifluous to ears. And Gujarat, too, is waka-waking in the news for all the enigmatic reasons of-late.

To begin with, Gujarat mothers many legends – from Mahatma to Dhirubhai to Sardar Patel. It is a gigantic classroom of entrepreneurship. Big bucks liquidate both the indigenous business hands and the dry Sabarmati as well. The vicious heat sets records for claiming, the little over 50 crore population. Epidermis falls off its place and you can well turn into a dark African to commemorate and celebrate the footie cup more pronouncedly.

Amidst all such live-shows, tourism is still very hot in the minds of government functionaries. Recently, Big B was roped in for the coinage of promotional tourism coverage of the State. The Kachh turbans and vestures were fetched in, the Gir lions displaced, the common tourist bondaged, a 7*6 bed specially procured – just to sophisticate and pilot the sizzling tourism.

The pragmatic and dynamic chief minister retaliates sarcastically to Madam Gandhi asking“Who was Bhopal’s maut ka saudagar?” over a personal tiff when he was attributed the same in relation to Gujarat riots of 2002. Also the minister is recently beleaguered over a print advertisement with Nitish Kumar. But his leadership has engendered, by and large, tremendous entrepreneurial development in the State viz. Nano and innumerable SEZs.

Talking about sports, Germany has opened up quite scintillatingly in the fifa world cup and certainly will endure most of googling eyes of football fans. Back in the hot Gujarat, it is Grandmaster Vishy Anand who will play simultaneous in an event pregrant with 20,000 chess players in the State, thus engraving its name into the Guinness Book of World Records. Personally, I feel it will be an amazing achievement worldwide.

It is now the season for the counseling which, I guess, was pretty exciting with regard to me and all my contemporaries a year back. I wish all the luck to the budding minds for this year’s admission. Last but not the least, it is a much awaited personal anticipation for a romance with the petrichor.

“Tsamina mina eh eh
Waka Waka eh eh

Tsamina mina zangalewa
Anawa aa
This time for Gujarat”
