"You think you'll be able to leave politics behind?", I quizzed Rana as the peace leaf was already burning bright. Still a couple more to make the rounds merrier. Taking a sharp deep pull, Rana's reply almost came like a pat.
"That's exactly why I am IC (Independents Consolidation). Leave it when you need to. We are all independents. Its just you and your decisions, nothing else."
Rana spoke as the heavy clouds heavenly dispersed slowly through his nostrils.
