INTO THE PAST WITH PAIN 349
INTO THE PAST WITH PAIN 349
Col Dr K Prabhakar Rao Veteran
Gandhi patel and Nehru are seen walking on Hyderabad street at Abids. They are in usual attire. They are wathing the people shops and passing vehicles
Gandhi. Patel, The place looks busy.
Nehru. Bapu. This place is always like this. However to day , it is a bit calm, Most of the time one can not walk on the road
Gandhi. Is it is so congested?
Patel., Yes. There are scores of vehicles buses , private cars, scooters.
Gandhi . I heard that there are many cycles here
Patel There were once along with man pedalled Rikshaws in Hyderabad.
Gandhi. Where are they now? With change of times, the rikshaws vanished. Few modified rikshaws are there from transporting goods here and there.
Patel. Earlier Some rickshaws had black pardahs in which muslim women used to travel. Times have changed
Gandhi. With times ,everything changes. Any how, man pedalled rickshaws are shameful to society.
Patel. Govt tried to fit small petrol engines to them , but it was a failure. With influx of autos ,most of the Rickshaw pullers shifted to Autos that were given on daily hire to them by some moneyed men. After few years the men owned autos. Now autos have become traffic nuisance. People are fed up of them. There is discipline. Lot of complaints in public. Now private cabs are becoming popular. Mobiles have changed lives of people more to worst. Kids have been spoiled by Mobiles. Kids have become addicted to mobiles. Time only will tell about the ill effects. Parents cry loud happily when their one year kids operate mobile without realising that they gave a bomb to the child.
Gandhi, Do you call this for betterment?
Nehru, Surely
Patel. How about values?
Gandhi. I am sure values disappeared long ago. Who want values now. With running for wealth money and power values have been dumped in Hussein sagar long ago. You travel throughout India. You will not find a trace of value.
Patel. Bapu . such things happen` with change of times.
Suddenly the trio is stopped by two police men
Constable. Hey guys. please stop. Are you some drama artists?.
Patel. Why are you asking? Is it a crime to act in dramas.?
Constable. No. You guys are dressed like Gandhi Nehru and patel.
Gandhi. We are not dressed up like them. We are they,
Nehru. They are we.
Patel. They and we are same. We and they are same too.
Patel. What you think is not true but it is opposite as we are they and not acting like them. We can not act as we are they and real.
Constable eeeee.aaaaa… Cant understand what you said.
Patel. That is because you imagined us to be they and we are not they and we are actual guys.
Constable. I cant understand a single word you said
Nehru. Relax brother. Please allow us to go
Constable. Where do you stay?.
Gandhi . Bhoot nagar colony
Constable. where is it in Hyderabad . I have not heard about it. Is it in Hyderabad or secunderabad?.
Patel. Probably you have not seen it. Why do you want to go. There is nothing there to see. It is very close to a big grave yard
Constable. Eee. Ok, No I am not interested to go
Gandhi. You can not avoid One day you have to go there
Constable. Eee what are you talking? EEE .. Ok. go away. You Appears to be crank guys. We do not want to see you again.
Patel. We are not cranks. Ok… go now enough we had. We never wanted to talk to you. You only stopped us and spoke.
Constables run away from there who got scared
Gandhi What type of guys are these men that too from police dept. What can be expected from them in society.
Patel… life is like that
Nehru. Why blame them? They were curious after seeing us.
Patel. They knew about us from photos and read in books at school
Gandhi. Haa..haa. true. When were alive their fathers were also not born.
Patel. They were acting clever
Gandhi. Any how those guys have gone. Forget about them. Is there any thing special about Abids
Patel. Bapu. Abids is a posh bazar with expensive shops Earlier we had some great hotels and cinema halls. Some famous English medium schools are here apart from Nizam college and also the main State bank of Hyderabad. Fateh maidan is at the end of Abids near Basheer bagh. This route is one way. People curse traffic guys.
Gandhi.Oh I see. You know very much about Abids.
Patel. Yes. I studied much about Hyderabad before I ordered police action against Nizam.
Gandhi. Why bring police action now. That was over long ago. If I was alive, I would not have allowed.
Patel.Destiny is not in our hands Bapu. Nizam was to loose his kingdom and he lost it. It was destined.
Gandhi. There was lot of blood shed too.
Patel. In military actions,deaths will be there. Did army go to kiss Razakars the devils,They killed many people in the state.They paid for it.
Gandhi Jawahar .Do you have any comments?
Nehru . I do not want to comment.
Patel. Thank god we are saved from creation of a third Pakistan in centre of India.
Gandhi. Who can change destiny.
Patel. That’s good bapu . You are now in correct track.
Gandhi. Good. Let us discuss about this topic some other time. We are getting late .Let us go.
The trio vanishes

Gandhi, Nehru and Patel are seen at Koti in Hyderabad in their usual attire.
They are near troop bazar and are dragging their feet. Bapu is holding his long
stick and slightly limping
Gandhi. Jawahar. I
think we must go to some bank and find out whether we can
have bank account.
Patel. What for?
Nehru. Why bapu . Why we need these now? Do we need money
now ?
Gandhi. Without money nothing moves. We keep coming quiet
often to this country.
Patel. OK let us try. To Which bank will we go?
Gandhi. Any one, in which money is there.
Patel. Ok there is
one in this place . We shall try
(They go to a road side vendor to enquire)
Gandhi, Hello bhai is there a bank in this place?
Vendor . Yes sir.
Just behind me there is a big bank. You can read the name too.
Patel. Thanks bhai
for the hep
Vendor. what help I
have done to thank me
The trio goes to the
main door of the bank after climbing few steps. T^here is a board .. GOLMAL BANK. There are
steps and also an inclined path with railing. Babu climbs steps while others
walk over the ramp.
At the main door
a sentry is there who stops them
Sentry. Where do you want to go sir?
Gandhi, Hame bank ke andar jana hai. Kya ham jaa sakte?
Sentry. OK . but kya
kam hai?
Patel. Is it a must to tell you what we are going to do
there? These are personal things
Sentry. It is not like that. If you tell me I can guide you
correctly. Otherwise ,you will run around here and there.
Gandhi. Oh I thought some thing else.
Sentry. Are you taking the stick inside
Gandhi. Yes without
this I feel uncomfortable
Sentry. I will ask manager and let you know . Please wait
here
He goes in and
returns after few minutes
Sentry. Sir. we do
not allow taking sticks. It is
objectionable. You may keep this with me. I will give back when you return
Gandhi. Bha ,I feel difficult to walk without this
Sentry. As exception we are allowing you.
Nehru. Thank you brother, May god bless you.
Sentry. Who is he?
Nehru.. God
Sentry. I do not
believe in god.
Gandhi. OK, OK never
mind. Thank you bhai.
The trio opens glass door and walk in. They open another glass door and enter a
large room where many people are sitting
in cabins and doing paper
work. Some are drinking Chai I,e tea.
Some are speaking on phones. Some are
chatting with each other giggling. Some are serious as if the whole world is
resting on their shouldrers.
Nehru goes to a
person and enquires. His name is ram
bharose
Nehru. Where can we open an account?
Ram.. Sir you have come to a wrong place . Go to another
large room with glass doors. That is the place. Please wear masks immediately. If you do not have
go to sentry . He will give for Rs ten
each
Patel. We have masks with us.
They quickly wear masks and go to another big room. Outside,
they have a sanitizer stand with instructions , where they spray the liquid to
the palms and rub hands then they enter inside.
The moment they enter, a person Holds a pistol like gadget
to Gandhis fore head . He is firkiram
Gandhi .Hey are you shooting me?
Firki ram.. No bhai,
I am taking your temperature. If you have fever we will not allow you
Gandhi. Eee.. What is all this ?I thought you are going to
kill me.
The trio passes the fever test and then are allowed to get
in. they go to a counter…may I help you? A lady is manning the counter. Her
name is Radha
Radha what I can do for you sir?
Gandhi. Madam,I want to open an account.
Radha. Yes, You can do. (She gives an application and asks
Gandhi to fill up and hand over with the
enclosures indicated at different places)
(Gandhi goes to a standing desk with patel and Nehru)
Gandhi. There is no place to sit and write. How can old
people stand and write and fill up these long applications. Appears, senior citizens have no facilities
Patel. true bapu. Banks are least bothered about these
facilities.values have disappeared.
Gandhi. In the second column ,I have to write home address.
What should I write? we don’t have any home now.
Nehru. Write c/o Old age home, street no 2 Vaikuntam.
Gandhi. There is a remark stating enclose your Xerox copy
of Adhar card. Original should be shown
for verification. Next requirement is enclose Xerox of PAN card. What is this
PAN card ?Next is occupation. I can write retired and doing time pass.
Patel. They will surely need phone number and details of organisation from you which retired
Gandhi. That I do not have.
Nehru. What is this Adhar card.
Patel. It is a type of identification issued by Govt.
The govt has some office , where it is
issued after furnishing details . They will also take photos with their camera.
Gandhi. I see
Patel. But the photos they take are atrocious. One can not
recognise you from the photo they take.
You look deformed and atleast another twenty years old. Some times your
photo is not printed but some others photo
or a childs photo will be there. Do not be surprised if a cats or cows photo
appears on your card. Hee.hee
Gandhi .ee..eee.
aaa.What crap is going on in this country?. Now, I have to get some
clarifications. I shall go to help counter again.( He goes to the counter)
Radha. Sir ,Have you filled up the form?
Gandhi. I do not have any adhar card ,pan card and proper
address and tele phone number
Radha. How is that? How are you managing? Now where do you
stay?
Gandhi. In vaikuntham
Radha. I never heard about that colony where is it?
Gandhi, It is not in this city. It is in heavens
Radha come on sir. You are joking.. how can it be?
Gandhi. I am telling truth.
Radha. Sir your face looks familiar. Where I have seen .
(she scratches her head)
Gandhi. Daily you must be seeing me.
Radha . Yeah…I see your photo on all currency notes. That is MK Gandhi.
Gandhi. Now you are correct. I am MK Gandhi
Radha. But you died long ago in 1948.. shot dead by Godse at
Delhi. I read in books
Gandhi. Why remember all those things?
Radha. But how you are back again. Did you not you die. ?
you were cremated also. I saw your Samadhi in Delhi at Rajghat. There is a
black marble on Samadhi.
Gandhi. All those things are true
Radha. Then how you are alive? For dead people ,no bank issues account. How can you reappear?
Gandhi. I some times come to earth.
Radha. Then you must be a ghost or a spirit
Gandhi. I am not a ghost or spirit. I am only the soul of
Gandhi
Radha.. eee..eee. ( .
she screams loudly and faints?
(There is a commotion at the bank as she falls from her desk
and lies on ground froth coming out from the mouth. All people gather around
her not knowing what happened at the
help counter.
Gandhi slowly slips out and joins patel and Nehru)
Patel. What happened? … she fell down. There is a commotion
in bank. I think we must slip out immediately,
The trio slowly goes out from glass door and reaches exit
door where the sentry is seen doping in chair.
The trio walks over the ramp and goes onto the road and
walks over to a tea shop.
They hear screaming
of an ambulace that arrives at great speed. After some time, the ambulance
rushes out screaming again along with two more bank cars.
Sentry at bank appears puzzled.
Gandhi.. I think we must go from here. The girl at counter
was scared when I told who I was. She fainted.
Patel. Bapu, lot of
changes have been introduced in banking system
at present. These adhar pan card were introduced to prevent bad elements in the country getting into the system.
Gandhi. Do you think all is well now?
Patel. I doubt. It is
humanly not possible to arrest all mischief. Loop holes will be there always.
Nehru. Even after
introducing all these , banks have been
duped and thieves who duped banks
escaped from country. Skeletons are still rolling out of cupboards.
Patel. It is almost
impossible to eradicate mischief. It can be reduced. When honesty is there dishonesty also will be
there. Particularly middle class guys are much oppressed on all fronts. Those
are rich and very rich can always manage and get away. All govt organisations
help them. Middle calss guys are shoed around at 3very place and they are made
to run from pillar to post. Suckers are middle class persons.
Gandhi. Where do we stand.? Which class?
Patel You and me are
middle class not Nehru
Nehru. How? Do you think I have thousands of crores.
Patel. You know better. Your Dynasty knows.
Gandhi . patel. leave it there? We are dead now and do not
have any mortal money and we do not
need.
Patel then why you tried for an account?
Gandhi. I think I should not have done. Good riddance. Let
us go back
In the mean time the sentry is heard shouting..
Sentry.. sir , sir. Look at those three old guys who came into bank and spoke to the
lady at the counter. She fainted after
talking to one of the old one. Catch them. run
Patel. Bapu let us vanish from here or trouble will be there
The trio vanishes suddenly with a flash.
