<p><strong>(Important)</strong></p>
<p>Dear Brother Mayawati,</p>
<p>Jai Ho.</p>
<p>You will note I have taken the liberty of addressing you as brother.</p>
<p>It is not without reason.</p>
<p>Neither is it without verification from <em>wikipedia</em>*.</p>
<p>So please do not be offended.</p>
<p>This once, I will not digress as I often do.</p>
<p>I will come to the point ASAP &#8211; (new word, again courtesy <em>wikipedia*</em> <img src='http://rahuljauhari.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':-D' class='wp-smiley' />  )</p>
<p>Well, a few days back, some brothers came and painted your face on the village school wall.</p>
<p>Talli, who was sprawled in the vicinity, was impressed with what he saw.</p>
<p>In fact it was Talli who insisted we look you up on <em>wikipedia*</em>.</p>
<p>Brother, let me tell you.</p>
<p>What we found is not merely impressive.</p>
<p>It is super.</p>
<p>Your achievements are far too many to be counted on my fingers.</p>
<p>But with your permission, I will, here, highlight Talli&#8217;s Top Three.</p>
<p>~~</p>
<p>1.</p>
<p>Dhaniya, the village bootlegger once told us it takes 10 lakh rupees minimum to get an inspector transferred from a thana.</p>
<p>But you?</p>
<p>You have been known to transfer hundreds of them without paying a single naya paisa!</p>
<p>It takes an awful lot of guts to beat the system like that.</p>
<p>Super.</p>
<p>2.</p>
<p>Respected Bapu endured decades of hardship, sacrifice, even celibacy in serving our great nation.</p>
<p>Only then were his statues put up in various places.</p>
<p>But you?</p>
<p>With far less effort, you have accomplished it in a matter of mere years!</p>
<p>It takes an awful lot of focus to achieve such monumental success.</p>
<p>Super.</p>
<p>3.</p>
<p>It took someone as fortunate as brother Ambani much inheritance, countless gas findings, mergers, family feuds and what not to reach where he is.</p>
<p>But you?</p>
<p>When it came to paying income tax, you, in spite of your humble origins, took just a few years to surpass even him!</p>
<p>It takes an awful lot of honestly to achieve such stature.</p>
<p>Super.</p>
<p>~~</p>
<p>We thought hard, brother.</p>
<p>We even asked headmasterji to think for us.</p>
<p>You see, Sarpanchji&#8217;s wife aside, we have always known this world to be dominated by men.</p>
<p>But we could not think of even one man as gutsy, focused and honest as you.</p>
<p>In fact they were not even half as manly as you have proven to be.</p>
<p>Now you see why I address you as I did?</p>
<p>Now you see why I insisted you take no offense?</p>
<p>BTW: I have also read that you dream of becoming the prime minister of our nation.</p>
<p>Talli says you underestimate yourself.</p>
<p>With your charisma and prowess, he sees you as the President of America very soon.</p>
<p>In fact, the last thing he said before passing out was this:</p>
<p>&#8220;Sushree? Rubbish. Supershree is more like it.&#8221;</p>
<p>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</p>
<p>* <em>wikipedia</em>, brother, is a glorious online service we have discovered. We suspect it was founded by brother Jobs. <a href="http://rahuljauhari.com/2009/09/14/dear-brother-jobs/" target="_blank">We have asked him about it, but he is yet to confirm the same. </a></p>
