A sad state of affairs

The festivity is high due to Christmas & New year which is round the corner but am not happy :-)
This year can be dedicated to the Scams and can be labeled scamotsav varsh – adarsh, lavasa, CWG,Karnataka, food scam & the raja of all the telecom. The list seems to be unending and what pains me most is the indifference of the common man towards all of these. He seems to to have isolated himself on a island where these things don’t matter.

Generally the mood of the country can be gauged by the political dialogue which is going on in the country but the political dialogue is centered around what is more detrimental Hindu terror or Let, common guys give us a break it’s like comparing who is a better batsmen Sachin or sreesanth. We all know the answer, a mainstream politician in this country has the audacity to go to a book release function which says that 26/11 was a RSS conspiracy, would this have happened in country of the world leave alone the politician but the party he represents would have been decimated forever. But we don’t care and it pains that we don’t care.

Hindu terror bad or Islamic terror bad- why bother , terror is bad but we don’t care. A politician questions the basic government institutions of the country ruled by his own party, but we don’t care.

The CEO of prasar bharti is suspended by gov, The CVC is in question, the CWG mess, the top defense brass get flats in Adarsh, almost every other tom dick harry whose signature is on the approval for adarsh apartment owns a flat and they are still serving the nation in different capacities but we don’t care.

I read a online article about the onion prices in TOI where some has commented from Qatar that Indian onions are available in Qatar @ 50-60 whereas in India its available for 100- here we do care because we are paying but still reaction can be termed as knee jerk.

I think corruption has gone down so deep in our blood that we accept it as a way of life, chalta hai, aisa heen hota hain- L

This is what makes me sad; I even ask myself what can a common man do , even if he cares, how does he show his sign of dissent, his unhappiness with the scheme of things. Kya kar sakte hain hum…..

And this bebasi makes me more sadL
