The 7th Fundamental Right

How many of you are browsing channels on idiot box and wondering are there really 150 channels in your cable or the cablewallah has made a fool out of you! How many of you are picking up the newspaper on a Friday/Saturday and checking the cinema this week section on TOI to check may be there is some movie which is still playing which you have missed by mistake? Guys..I am really one of them!
I normally don't get bothered by strikes. If it's a petrol pump strike and there is no petrol in my car, I take an auto paying him 10 bucks extra as NBBRI tax (Non Bangalorean Born Resident Indian tax). If there is a transporters strike and there are no vegetables at home, I go out and eat a healthy and nutritious McChicken burger. But what can possibly replace the charm of watching a Hindi movie on a Sunday afternoon? I tried watching Indian Payjama League with double gutso this time around and also tried following Indian elections more intensely but now I am getting a yawn just thinking about these two things.
Ladies and Gentlemen - the time has come that we ask the govenment to give us our most basic right of survival on weekend - right to watch a movie! I just hope one day when all the Chiranjeevis, Rajnikanths, Amitabh Bachhanns and Shah Rukh Khans will plunge into politics and will pass this resolution and will give us the 7th fundamental right as an Indian citizen.
P.S. - Did I hear you say that Chiranjeevi has already plunged into politics? I also thought so but couldn't see any seats for his party in this election. May be time has come for me to get my eyes tested and brains twisted!
