I don't even try...

Everywhere – around, behind, at the front, and by the sides, the ugly and cruel face of poverty stares at me, mocks me. And, I see the mockery of life, brashly laughing at me, on me. Innocent faces wearing the mask of adulthood; soul – deprived of love, of care and yet getting on with life in the manner they have learned – begging, cheating, enticing the flesh hunters and getting poisoned, intoxicated to forget the worries; the realities for a few moments. These few moments are their bliss and they live in these few make-believe dream moments – only to get back to the world they know. I wish I could change their world, make it better in some way. Their world pains me, keeps me awake, and makes me cry. I feel ashamed over my helplessness and for the fact – I don’t even try…

Assertance...

Assertance is the virtue of strong......weak just whimper.....poor in life, the lowly gets filthier.....there is order among the rich and strong as well......strong...stronger...

..strongest.....demarcated as per territories....the strongs with stronger bonds, strengthen by power and the means to power.......and the order is prevailed...weak just whimper.....power marches ahead....the balance of unjust.......perfectly maintained.

Hypocrite Indian Media and the so-called Intellectuals

Its really amazing how hypocrisy in on play in India - the Amarnath Shrine land issue has blown out of control in the last few weeks. there have been deaths, injuries and in general disruptions in the day to day lives of the people of Jammu, India. The sitaution is really getting worse in the state of Jammu and Kashmir, with curfews getting imposed in different places. i find it really amusing to see some of the news channels lambast the hindu dominated parties and organizations for creating disturbances and destroying the social fabric of this country. The trouble is, no one seems to remember the beginning of this issue, most of us have forgotten the violent agitations that took place in the muslim - dominated Kashmir valley that finally forced the J&K govt to go back on its decision for granting land to the Amarnath shrine board.

I also wonder, where were people like Arundhati Roy, Teesta Seetalvad and Barkha Dutt when people in Kashmir valley went on a rampage and threatened the lives of our soldiers posted in the region to fight the foriegn terrorists. what disappoints me that these very names become vocal at any small instance involving some wrong doing by Hindus - big time double standard.

Well, so far the majority section (Hindus) have been taking everything coolly and have shown tremendous maturity but god forbid, the constant insults by the intellectuals and step - motherly treatment by the Indian govt might blow the fuse.......
