I have a question: If this man had no posters in his background that showed his party or ideological affiliations, which political party would you have guessed he represents and owes allegiance to?
OK, one more: If you had to guess whether or not he is a firm believer in an invisible God who he thinks will save him from the Coronavirus, or a rational atheist who thinks we need to take precautions like social distancing and work hard towards a vaccine, what would your guess be?
Here’s another one: If you had to guess if this man believes his religion, his gender, his community, his caste, his country, his society, his armed forces, his leader, his culture is the greatest of all, and would have rightfully been leading the world but for X (replace “X” with any other religion, or caste, or country, or belief, or lack of belief, or traitors, or the opposition party or whatever), or someone who has a deep understanding of history and a healthy respect for opposing opinions and others, what would your answer be?
All right, last: If you had to guess whether or not he is an elected representative of the people (in a free and fair democratic election where real people who are sane and smart enough to wake up, wear clothes, find their way to a voting booth, identify themselves, understand what they are doing, press a button or use a stamp, exit the booth, and go about their lives, have voted in hundreds of thousands, of which this man has been chosen by the maximum number of people) or not, what are the odds you’d guess wrong?
You have only one chance each to answer these and there are no prizes for guessing right.
Your time starts…NOW! Guess Corona.
P.S: Only the answer to the last question is the tragedy. The rest of it is comedy. But remember regardless that the joke’s actually on us.
