Black Is The New White

Top post on IndiBlogger.in, the community of Indian Bloggers

Everyone has heard about her, engaged in salacious gossip about her existence but has yet to sight her. She’s like the mythical G-Spot that scores of men have fantasized and written about and have even embarked on expeditions to unearth, but have met with as much success as Christopher Columbus had with discovering India.

In fact, she’s is India’s B-spot.

It is rumoured that Bee vacations in exotic foreign lands like Mauritius, the Cayman Islands and Switzerland; her trips sponsored by her rich benefactors. When she exits the country, she leaves with a blackened reputation and spends months, sometimes years in dark dank chambers to get rid of her ugly tan. According to unnamed sources, B-Spot prefers flying Hawala Airlines.

Now that Indians are finally getting ready for achhe din, they are impatient to relieve Bee of her Non Resident status and want her to come back to her roots. After all she’s India’s wayward Diva whose return will be the much needed Viagra for our limp economy.

As she continues to slither away from the long hands of law, the common man does what he does best – express impotent rage. Surprisingly, she finds firm support from legal experts and leaders who in the recent past had much fun, mocking the previous government for allegedly shielding B-spot and her benefactors. Now that they have been elected, they are singing the same tune as the ones they mocked. With new found power they have transformed into the chivalrous who are now ensuring that Bee gets the Fair and Lovely treatment as they go around town claiming being black is not a criminal offence, holding the protective umbrella to shield her from prying eyes and further tanning.

It’s a not so well-known fact that the elusive B-spot’s desi counterpart Big B is the real McCoy who funds India’s great democracy, where all Political parties rely on her largesse to fund their mammoth rallies, publicity campaigns and chartered flights. If our Politicians expose them, they will end up exposing their doublespeak. After all, laws and taxes are only meant for fools and meant to be flouted by those who create them.


While the men in power continue to take U-turns and move around in circles, India’s B-spot has quietly gone ahead, shed her excess weight and has attained the enviable size zero balance. She’s now waiting to be cast as the main lead in Kale Dhande, Gorey Log and become the nation’s wet dream.

Meanwhile our netas are patiently waiting for our fickle attention span to move on to greener pastures and relegate this issue to the dustbins of history.

  2. Ah, the elusive B-spot. How about looking for her in Bollywood and real estate? But no, it seems the phoren one is more attractive even though she has shed weight and attained size zero after all the scrutiny.
    You hit the Right spot with your wit and imagination.

  3. You dressed her up nicely. Almost wish I didn't know from fb what the topic was. This line says it all to me. "If our Politicians expose them, they will end up exposing their doublespeak." The Congress and BJP dare not expose one another. They hold the Damocles sword over each other.

  6. I want some B-spot for myself... ...if nothing else my share of taxes can be refunded once Miss B comes back to India... i.e. if she ever decides to leave the cool Swiss Alps and come to dust bowls of India

  7. B-Spot ! Lol ! B-Spot is indeed sitting pretty far beyond the reach of the common man, but well within the reach of those in power :) Very creatively penned.

  15. Naive are those who think that B is still lying around unutilized or hasn't taken another flight to some unknown (to you and me) destination.
    For another century,those in power will continue to make headlines only for political gains knowing very well that B doesnt need any Visa for travel

  18. It is a rotten story through and through but your superb take on it lessens the pain for a while.We can only laugh and joke about it.
    Yes all thieves join together when it comes to exposure.Will they never be named and punished?

  21. They'll just keep looking for it, much like so many men the G all their lives. Of course, our 'wah's for the GoI for 'trying' to get B back might be as fake as the 'ah's which encourage the G men to try harder.
    Fun read!
