What a sorry state we are!!!



              Just read that an IPS officer got killed by Mining mafia in Madya Pradesh when he tried to stop the vehicle carrying illegal mines. What a sorry state we are, I am deeply agonized to have read this incident. How bad can we be? It is like tearing my skin to digest this. We are in a country where people are more concerned about Cricket God’s 100th century when more than 30% of people are sleeping hungry every day. We are so happy to keep quiet, to hide and to escape. How many more days? How can we live with no motive? Are eating, sleeping and shopping the only motives of life? There is one part of people who are among the richest billionaires of the world and there is other part where people are sleeping on road. Once, I saw an old woman who was sleeping on the footpath. It will feel disgusting if I explain in what condition she was. We think twice to give just one rupee to beggars, when we pay taxes, when we have to pay fines, when we have to declare assets and so on. Then what right we have to question others when the corruption is within lurking, contaminating, eating away your sense. We are in a country where the entire media is still living in 2002 as if 10 years was not enough to get over it just because Madam’ji is sponsoring the ill fated campaign. There are two live India’s living, one so busy to hide money and the other dying in search of it. We are like insects. We live by hurting others. Is there one day when you prayed for the betterment of everyone? Is there one day when you prayed for your mother’s health before yours? Is there one day when you thought about the struggles of the needy?
               
             We are like saints when we are advising others but what about doing the same in your life? How can you sleep when you know you have taken someone’s sleep, food and shelter? How does this work at all? Is it so hard to do good for others? Is it so hard to follow truth? How can we be so accustomed to live in false illusions?

             There are people who are still voting for congress because Indira’ji did good for women. There are people who are voting for congress because they don’t want other parties to come for power. Maya Madam sends Copters just to fetch her sandals, she can build a park of crores when her own dalits are raped and burnt alive. Mamta‘ji says” Don’t make the issue political!! ” when asked about the deaths and rapes in her state. It is not that rest all are good other than UPA but is it the mindset we should be having? We are 288 billion dollars in short of money and every passing budget; we are adding 13-16 billion dollars to that sum. We have already started selling our assets to get more loans. In spite of all this, Madam’ji made the Food security bill get passed costing another 1.36 lakh crores to the exchequer just ahead of elections as if we are Ambani’s. Govt. can raise fuel prices every 2 months but what about our salaries? An Inspector itself is paid 17 thousand per month. What about people below his stature?  Can they live honestly with that money and maintain their family? Legislators cleared bill to raise their salaries in just one day and the Lokpal bill is pending from 40 odd years. They used media so cleverly that even Anna became Hare Brained Bully in front of so called Educated Indians. Yet Pranab’ji boasts of 8% growth. And there is this Yuvraj and his dogs. He can’t give an answer to high school students; He is already in race to claim the top. We were so OK to replace a Legend like Kalam Sir with that useless Creature. None of these puppets of Madam’ji have impressed even once in last 10 years. Is 60 odd years not enough to realize our mistakes? Why have we so glued ourselves to being ordinary? I hate this OK OK attitude, we said OK when more than 1000 people were killed mercilessly in Jailianwalabagh, we said OK when they hanged Bhagat, we said OK when they made Azad kill himself, we said OK when LAL was beaten to death, we said OK when Shastri’ji was killed mysteriously, we said OK when Netaji got killed, we said OK when they made us slaves, We EVEN said OK when Bapuji said don’t do anything. We also made him our father. 

Either be buried and or fly high, there is nothing in between.

            Yes, we are one big 120+ billion bundle and it is not always easy to make others realize what is correct considering the diversity that exists here. But does that mean we should stop trying? There are people who don’t believe in philanthropy because they are concerned about their hard earned money not reaching the poor. How disgusting they can be? Who gave them that money? If the money is not reaching the needy then is it not their concern to correct it? No, why should they be worried when there are people to wash their a**es every day. To add to our shame it was Germans who told us to investigate on the black money stashed abroad and still we are OK with it.

            Yes, Even I am one of those sorry people living just an ordinary life. Every single day I sleep with anger and pain not able to do anything for it. Is it not the time to wake up? Or you are happy passing on the same to your children? Aahh, How to change this? I have to. We have to.
