Departed...

Over the years, growing terrorism in Mumbai has become one with our lives.
So much so ,that it can be called a routine.
I realize, getting numb to inhuman nature is inhuman in itself.
The circumstances that we live in, have surged the emotions of anger, despair and helplessness in such continuity over the past years, that now our minds tend to ignore them . It is like constant infliction of pain, like hitting someone at the same spot till it goes numb.
This has been felt many times recently by Mumbaikars and I feel the same today.. I am not proud that the next day after an attack is just a regular day..
Many of us who have not yet succumbed to the blasts, attacks, racism or the other plagues in today's world ,have however succumbed to being departed in our sensitivities to quite an extent.

Morphed Reality..What's next..diamond handcuffs for criminals?

I openly admit that I do not enjoy reading a newspaper or watching primetime news on Indian news channels..As most of us would agree the quality of news that reaches us is so distorted that its better left unheard..
Social Media being the strongest tool to reach common people is overplaying its part of diverging from reality or truth.
The biggest hoax are the reality shows which reflect abusive language and participants with criminal records are given a facelift and portrayed as the victims. The fact that the makers of these shows doubt the intellect of the average educated Indian is not half as annoying as these shows getting a loyal audience.

First Kasab is in the papers, we average Indians pay taxes to feed such ruthless humans and provide them the shelter in our central jails..Autocratic or Socialist governance would be better than this democracy! Maybe I overstated that but that's how furious I am.. The recent trigger being the Maria Susairaj case..
I think I have my answers to the way we govern our country.. What do we do with a criminal? Do we hang them ?? No ! We glamourize them on medial channels, we pay them lumpsums to star in reality shows, better still we make a movie on them...Maria Susairaj finally got her big break after she was involved in a murder..As rumours have it , she will star in Big Boss and probably in a Madhur Bhandarkar movie..

So this generation has its lessons well learnt..what does one do to get what they want? Killing may be an option..Cause in our country, the reality will be eclipsed or morphed by media or by people governing it..
