This post of mine is essentially a brain child of an idea introduced by a gaint of a guy called Shery (I never managed to pronounce it properly.....phoenetically speaking...and so the ludicrous spelling) who happenedto visit us a few days back. We have a thing going on among ourselves....you know like the 'Wassup' thing......albeit not so media-freaky....we call it the 'Drona Effect',we have 'The Drona moment'.....the 'Drona look'.....and now it has urged me to consider several other possibilities of the 'Drona Smile'....the 'Drona Cult'...or maybe even the 'Drona libido'.....but lets leave them for posterity and deal with what we have on the platter at present....
First it was Rajnikanth and now it is Drona...trust me they are 'happening'.....I mean finally somebody has considered the absolute truth behind the telltale tales of men being from Mars. Yes, they can do all of them....they can fly without wings....to and from a speeding train...between compartments....they strech their arms and derive life power voraciously from a blistering sandstorm.....and when they are angry they seem to have way too much free time to make a daunting frown and then hitting upon the evil and being hit upon....And the best part is......in the process of absolution from felony, they don't even have to wear fancy slacks and underwears and cool sunglasses to conceal theit identity....the fact is.....a little bit of publicity can never harm you....and the hottest chick will anyway fall for you.....even if you are perpetually unshaven bu hey.what do I know......women are from Venus and thats the 'in' thing nowadays...
Peter Parker believed, much to his disdain, "with great power comes great responsibilities"....well.....time has changed and besides the "great responsibilities", there comes a greater urge to influence lives of others around you....not only in a superheroic scale, but also in a more mundane day to day scale......I mean leave aside Drona.....look what the great lady did to the industrial upstarts in Bengal.....or how the musings ofan air force officer named Murphy swayed the lives of zillions all around the world.....even Woody Allen became a Hollywood star!
So even Drona is affecting our lives, if not in a global or national magnitude, but the first signs are clearly visible.....The other day I saw three guys riding the same bike without helmets on the wrong side of the road approaching a cop for directions...thats undoubtedlythe Drona effect...you could almost hear at the background the rumbling hymn of "Drooonaaa...!!" at the rather unconventional bravado of these gentlemen,and the look they gave when the cop pulled them over to the curb....thats the 'Drona look'Last night we were returning from yet another gaudy shopping complex, through a rather narrow and seedy alley when a three-legged dog happened to hop out from nowhere and my friend gave a concoted display of swearing,jumping and running all within a singular muscular movement which can again betraced back to agility shown by Drona and its eventual fallout thereafter....Likewise, the guy who decided to play Russian Roulette with a semi-automatic,the way I play any racing game,the one in the car staring at the prettygirl in the car beside him and eventually climbing the road-divider and millions of other unsuspecting individuals can all be categorically classified under several sub-divisions of the Drona effect, and everytime that happens,be it behind my back, in front of me or in the form of people actually reading this text there will always be the same resonating buzz "Dronaa....!!"
