The ANT Story

We all have read ,heard ,enjoyed and celebrated the Story of Ant and Grass hopper......The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks the ant's a fool and laughs & dances & plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. The grasshopper has no food or shelter so he dies out in the cold.
Here is my MODERN VERSION in the wake the current situation in the world...
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.The grasshopper thinks the ant's a fool ,he laughs,drinks Vodka Martini,dances & plays the summer away.
Come winter, the shivering grasshopper with no Vodka left, calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving.BBC, CNN, EURO-NEWS, NDTV, FOX NEWS,AAJ TAK,KAL TAK,PARSON TAK show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food.
The World is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be that this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?
Arundhati Roy stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house. Amnesty International and Koffi Annan criticizes the Government for not upholding the fundamental rights of the grasshopper.Bush Tables a resolution in the security council for UN sanction to attack the ant's house.The Internet is flooded with online petitions seeking support to the grasshopper.Indian Opposition MP's stage a walkout.Left parties call for "Bharat Bandh" in West Bengal and Kerala demanding a Judicial Enquiry.Aamir Khan and his "Range de Basanti's "Awakened generation" stage a dharna in front of the Ant 's house.The "Secular politicians" comdemn the Ants act as overtly communal in nature.Rock Bands show their solidarity by singing "Six Legged Sucking Satans...the Ants". Which becomes a best seller. Finally, the High End Judicial Committee for Prevention of Terrorism againt Shivering and Hungry Grasshopers(HEJCPCASHG,i bet you remember that) is set up.This is headed by a Retired octagenarian Supreme Court Jugde with one foot in grave and other on his office tabel .After several days of intense enquiry widely convered by the global press, the committee drafts the Prevention of Terrorism Against Grasshoppers Act [POTAGA]", with effect from the next winter but with benefits applicable for this one too.
The Ant is Arrested for failing to comply with POTAGA.Having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the US Marines, in a sudden over night Assualt operation code named "operation House Storm".This involves the lastest B-52 Stealth Bombers and CNN brings you a live Covererage named " The Ant Hill" and hand over the house to the grasshopper in a ceremony covered by BBC,CNN, AAJ TAK and NDTV.
Arundhati Roy calls it "a triumph of justice".Bush calls in a victroy for the Democracy and the English Queen gets the Grasshoper Knighted. Koffi Annan invites the grasshopper to address the UN General Assembly . PM Man Mohan Singh says Madam Sonian Gandhi was great soul who sacrificed her office of profit for the Grasshoper's cause.AP C.M Rajshekhar reddy names the Ant's house after Rajiv Gandhi and calls it "Rajiv -Hopper-House"
