The Great Indian Chamcha

 
The Great Indian Chamcha is a common breed of Homo Sapiens found in Indian sub-continent. He/she has a perennial smile especially in your presence, showers garlands of flowers plus praiseworthy words on you and can be your most effective and continuous feel-good factor.


 Chamcha- the word itself can be thought to be composed of two words- 'Chum' (meaning a great pal or friend) and 'Cha' (meaning Tea- that ubiquitous beverage- in almost every language of India). Therefore Chamcha is a person who acts like your greatest friend-cum-support system, blindly upholding you through thick and thin. He/she is also one who leaves no stone unturned in your khatirdaari – or caring for your needs- asking you continuously if you need ‘Cha’ or ‘Coffee’ or what you would like to eat or where you would want to stay and so on. In other words, full devotion to fulfilling even the minutest needs of yours. 

“BUT WHY?”- you ask. To that there is just one answer- for their own rise, as you are in a position of power to bestow largesse on YOUR very own Great Indian Chamchas!

Chamchagiri, the art of becoming effective chamchas, is thus perfected slowly, doggedly by them. Till, they become The Great Indian Chamchas! And what if you do not give what they want inspite of their rise to 'Greatness' in chamchagiri?! Then beware- they may backfire by joining your enemy! So YOU also need to manage The Great Indian Chamcha well for your own survival! ;)
