I thought of penning down something on any of the multitudes of issues that plague our society but each time I felt like sitting down with the pen to speak out on something, a new issue came out of nowhere that overshadowed the former.
For instance, while Indian batsmen were been terrorized by the Australian bowlers, the country itself was bracing up with some key elections that will most likely change the equation at the Center.
Some noise is being made on the cricket debacle but that looks like a whisper in comparison to the clamor of the political slogans exalting some candidate who wants to make it 'big' in netagiri. All of a sudden campaigns to make voters aware of their rights have sprung up (as if the voters were sleeping for the last 63 years).
Suddenly the General of our Army woke up to the realization that he was a year younger than what was mentioned in some government documents. What followed cannot be commented on for many reasons than one.
If Bollywood was expected to provide some entertainment then many were left disappointed. Don 2 did well and Agneepath is doing good but two films in two months cannot make the industry economically strong.
However, all that was dirty did well. The Dirty Picture was 'seen' by hordes of 'fans' (who knows whose). The dirty part continued with a very popular reality show in which participants are 'expected' to fight and cuss in order to survive elimination.
Our infatuation with everyone who is an Indian and has made a name for himself/herself abroad went too far when an Indo-Canadian adult film star got a Bollywood offer. All through her stay in India, her name was in the top trends on the internet signalling her popularity in our 'morally upright' country.
Shamefully, there is no ratna left in Bharat as the government's indecisiveness on the nation's highest civilian award proves.
Politics? We live it every second here in India. World? We don't care much what happens to 'others' and 'outsiders'. Entertainment? The more it is dirty the better. Sports? Speak Cricket or shut up. National Interest? Comes only after our personal interests are taken care of.
What is left to write about? Sorry, I should ask: What do we want to read about?
