Looking for a superman?

Baba Ramdeo's mission has failed for the time being at least. He may continue his efforts for some more time. But the fact remains that for now, he has lost his weight. What happens to Anna Hazare if he really swings into action after 15th August 2011, is unpredictable. The government has gathered courage not to pay any heed to these people after Babaji fiasco at Delhi. What was Babaji's error? Where did he go wrong?
We people are always on the lookout for a larger than life hero. When Swami Ramdeo went for the fast against black money, we thought we have got the hero we were looking for. But when he moved from his place to save his life, we lost our faith in him. We realized all of a sudden, that Swamiji is not larger than life. He also is some times gets scared for his life. He is like us in this respect. So he is not the one who dares one and all. One we got this idea, we lost interest in him. We want none less than a superhuman hero to take us to a better life. No ordinary mortals are welcome here. Ramdevji has learnt this the harder way today. Tomorrow it could be our turn to learn the hard way that no such superheroes. We have to shape our lives or just be prepared to accept the life that we have. Superheroes are comic characters, not living men.
