       Social media is flooded with film stars, industrialists, politicians and sportsmen posing with a broom encircled by their body guards. A ritual started after Honorable PM started the maverick trend. The site and garbage often well chosen, the Safaiwala given unexpected off the previous day for accumulation of filth to be showcased on the day of campaign. The broom reminds me of Harry Potter.

My cell phone also got stolen.       If you do...
