i suddenly realized , why i couldn't get myself to support baba ramdev .
his movement was suddenly , unlike anna hazare's fast , unfolding like a bollywood film . long , verbose speeches , then closed door meetings with senior congress ministers . where neither party com out transparently about which demands were accepted and which were still unsolved issues . then both sides call each other names like good old bollywood dialogues . ( " i am katti with kapil sibal , will never talk to him in my life ." " ramdev is a thug" . etc etc ) then a midnight swoop by the police , baba jumping off the stage , changing into a ladies salwar kurta , hiding his beard with a dupatta , then caught ( i was waiting for a song to happen " baba badman hua , darling tere liye type " , then he is bundled off in a waiting plane to haridwar , then he comes out with statements about how the government brutalized women and children ( in spite of not a single omni present television camera capturing anything like that ) then more bollywood style dialogues " madam sonia gandhi is an italian , not born in this soil , so she doesn't have any feelings for indian women and children ( with voice choking at that stage in a way that would put shah rukh to shame ) and this is just the interval . rest is yet to come .
then laloo parsed yadav jumping in with statements that only he can make " this baba has nri supporters , so why don't they sit outside the gates of THE swiss bank and do fast unto death and get them to hand over illegal money etc ) then bjp , then bahen mayawati , then mulayam singh , all adding their two bits worth of dialogues .
i would still like to support him , because he is against corruption ,
and aim still hesitating . sigh !!

I dont think there should be any hesitation in supporting what is good.
