Anna Mania III

Arundhati Roy recently wrote a fantastic piece, where she damned Anna's movement. She provided many, many reasons in brilliantly constructed language, why, She had rather not be Anna. Yes, she even titled her insightful piece

"I'd rather not be Anna".

Now, Anna could never write prose like that. He is, after all, a 7th pass villager. Ergo, Anna is not Arundhati Roy. By reflexivity, Arundhati is not Anna. Consequently, the question that Arundhati asks in her piece's title, is, but rhetorical. It is not whether she can, but doesn't, choose to be Anna.

She can't (be Anna).

I guess that pisses her off.
