I wonder what the world is coming to..

My mind sat awestruck watching the tv. This should not have happened. It was meant to be an opportunity for the leaders to lend a hand of help. Those who lost the replaceables in the floods were supposed to get some refund at this event.

What was left was a melange of anguish and death. Around 42 people, most in their young teens, with blood rushing through their uneasy vessels, capable of changing the world into something; lost all of it. C'mon they died for heavens' sake. Has death become such a meagre thing for us mortals? With the fear of failure running havoc in their minds, these young bloods beat the time and place and all such alterables to earn death. They knew nothing of what proceeded. For there was tears shed, dreams shattered, cries wept, promises made, Politics ensued.

For what did the much-to-be blamed government do about it? nothing more than statements to appease god-knows-who..And to back them in their dirty exploits is the press...While channels on one's side showed family members weeping their hearts out and proclaiming in front of camera that it was the stinking government and the police to blame; there was the other side of the coin, with similar bereaving family members blaming their own kids for having rushed.

Is that all the value of human life.? That you can resort to politics at such junctures to stay safe of blame.? Why cant the Indian mass realise that it is high time they stopped playing second fiddle to the ruling party and the oppositions and to the media and whoever; and thought for themselves what they really wanted and felt. It is a democracy for hell and what is happening now is that with freedom of press exploited, so is the common man.. And the common man fails to understand this.
Grow up..! Now..!

Then there was the second shock of its kind. A girl is raped and murdered, i choose to say slaughtered to death, in Bangalore. The IT hub of India. Where is sanity now.? Have we reached a time where a woman cant work at her will, worry about timings and safety.? For the animal responsible was a man of duty,the one she saw even before her boss. Is technology catching up or are we moving back in time..? Oh !Technology is sure catching up; for circulation on the net were the pics of this kid after she met her dirty fate. Huh..!

To join in the list of things that got me writing this post was Mission Majnu...Inappropriately titled after the man who lived for love and martyred for love, this mission has nothing to do in the vicinity. On the negative, it was a drive, a clean-up drive they called it, undertaken by the police in Meerut to rid the beautiful gardens of love birds. Huh..! A process of maintaining the sanctity of the country i read. What resulted was women in uniform catching hold of innocent citizens and treating them like whores driven out of their asylum. The camera saw youngsters, most possibly good friends, or siblings or even married partners, beaten up to embarrassment, merely for them using their private time in a public place..! Democracy, I remember, is one of the main features of the Indian constitution. All this reminds me is of the crude images of torture that floated around the time US invaded Iraq, or the gruesome taliban.

I wonder what the world is coming to..!
