Hissy Fit

I may not be the right person to speak! But still I want to express my feelings about what is going on around me! There have been some major crises that our country is going through, to top it all, the media is spicing up these news! Can I truly see some sophistication about reporting a certain crime or slag on government's part or cops or even any common man? Is the whole idea behind a news and the soap opera same TO GET HIGHER TRP's!

My Distress started when I saw what happened to the milk tankers on the Pune highway! Media was busy covering the milk being wasted by some political party but no one dared to stop them or call the cops? The largest democracy of the world wherein the majority of population goes without eating, some goons had the ability to waste milk and not to forget gallons of it!

The agony was further aggravated when the Venue of Common Wealth Game; Nehru Stadium worth 80 CR was seeping water at various sights and the channels were showcasing Rahul Mahajan's hostility towards his wife. The only thing that brings pleasure for people is the grapevine- be it office, home or neighborhood, friends or celebrities. Someone’s pain is other’s pleasure. I mean the CWG is a concern of Nation's Pride. But no one is truly involved, everyone is busy blaming each other and making a hue and cry about the past. It's a shame that for once all the politicians cannot forget their differences and be one for an event which is just 2 months away. I agree the government is at fault that does not mean all you do is criticizing their action, it’s time to move on and be a wonderful host to the world. Am perturbed with the fact that we the people are governed by short sighted people.

Today, I just could not keep up to the shallowness of our educators and our protectors- the cops. 400 students of a premier educational institute were arrested for partying – the culprit ‘Alcohol’! Give me a break what century am I living in? Is this what we call liberalism? We talk about globalization and to my dismay 18 year old in this country are not even free to make choices but fit to vote! What’s even worse is that the university refused to take any responsibility. And for cops who know them better than the common man, they took 2000INR from each student and left them! What is happening to the freedom of choice? Honestly how many of us were coached by our parents to drink or to smoke? Or even when we did try, how many of us told our parents? I fail to understand why the preachers can’t follow what they preach or in this case can’t preach what they did when they were 18 yrs old? Just because today they hold powerful position does not mean they were saints.

Someday I think I will be refrained from writing as well coz am very strongly opinionated, Truly speaking I feel suffocated and chained.



I am worried, will this hypocrisy continue through the generations to come?!
