Anna returns, double celebration for his village

It was a double celebration at Anna Hazare's village Ralegan Siddhi as the anti corruption movement's poster boy returned home for the festivities. Hazare looked weak, but was clearly happy to be home.
Like every year, this year too he was expected to head the festivities, but given his health he preferred to stay away.
"I whish he gets well soon. I will come back to see him tomorrow," said a villager.
Anna's journey back was almost as dramatic as his 13-day fast in Delhi - a backdoor exit from the hospital to avoid the waiting media. He took a kingfisher flight to Pune with awe struck co passengers.
"I have not seen god, but I have seen Anna," said a co passenger.
As Anna Hazare prepares to spend the next 10 days of Ganesh Chathurthi in his village, the task ahead is clear - regaining his strength and then pushing ahead for a strong Lokpal Bill in Parliament.
