Wanting to get at the bottom of the mysterious 8216;feel good8217; factor which everyone was talking about but no one was quite sure what it was, I decided to ask some happy looking people what the fuss was all about. The first person I bumped into was this long-haired guy who happens to be working in a call centre8230;.
ME: So, are you feeling good?
HIM: Yo, 8217;course man! Aren8217;t you?
ME: Quite. So, tell me, what makes you feel so good?
HIM: Geez, man8230;don8217;t ya know: INDIA is SHININ8217;!
ME: Now how did I miss that? But that still doesn8217;t explain why YOU are feeling so good8230;
HIM scratching his head: Geez man, I neva8217; thought of that, maybe it has somethin8217; to do with pa8230;pa8230;p8230;
ME: Patriotism?
HIM: Pat who?
ME: Never mind8230;
HIM: Paakhet money!
ME: What about pocket money?
HIM: I got loadsa8217; dough ya know, thanks to this call cenda jaab8230;it8217;s so cool8230;
ME: What do you do with all this money?
HIM: Oh, I buy me lotsa8217; phants8230;
ME: I8217;m sure you mean pants8230;
HIM: Yeah dude, whateva8217;.
ME: And why do you need so many pants for?
HIM: Get a life man! I mean hey8230;more phants means more paakhets.
ME: Aha. You8217;re finally making some sense. One last question, do you think this feel-good factor will last after the elections?
HIM: It all depends on who wins, ya know8230; If Bush gets re-elected I8217;m sure weel all keep feelin8217; good for years to come.
