Tiger Tiger Burning Bright...

The Shiv Sena has never ceased to amaze me for it's intelligence. But today it just left me awestruck. The Thackerays know they have no clout left, not in Mumbai, not in the rest of Maharashtra. So they pick the perfect day to make a "show of strength". Who leaves their homes before 6 p.m. on a Sunday? Perfect time to call a bandh. No one will be on the streets and the Shiv Sena can claim it was successful (whatever that means). In fact, i wonder if even the "desecration" was real. And if it was, i doubt anyone but the Sena has the balls to do it. And as i see traffic on the roads but the news showing images of a burning bus, i can't believe Uddhav Thackeray is claiming a victory as hollow as the Shiv Sena's ideals. The Tiger is dead.
