India Shining ? You Bet !





Brothers are shooting brothers......

People are being burnt alive .

Despite of all this Sensex is touching new peaks day after day and as they say India is still shining.I personally feel that sensex has a penchant for heightening the irony of the situation.Last time it was touching new peaks everyday , India was hit with Tsunami --the worst natural disaster that we ever faced.One thing is for sure - sensex has nothing to do with the prsoperity of the country .So those who always make haste in going gung-ho about how a new sensex peak means stronger or wealthier India should come out from their self-created virtual reality .They should try to rub their eyes hard.. and try to realize that this country is not a picture of heaven they believe it is.Let me try to put all these abhorring nonetheless real things in a perspective one by one.

Prominent BJP leader Pramod Mahajan was shot recently by his very own brother.Now his soul is resting in peace after almost a 12 days struggle against death.I refuse to buy the story of his angry brother shooting him only because he used to scold him a lot.And when a person(Pravin Mahajan) have a whole family behind him than it only adds to the increduality of the situation.He must be hallucinating something at the time he shot his brother.Definitely there is more here than what is meeting the eyes.Maybe some uglier facet of politics( how more disgusting will it get from here) which is still uncovered.And now be prepare for all that drama that comes with anybody's death.Now ppl will claim that Pramod Mahajan was the one stalwart of the politics that we all are going to miss.They will also discuss the possibility of him becoming a PM one day ( How ridiculous ! ). But the truth remains that since sometime he was losing his grip in his OWN party BJP let alone Indian politics.But for the time being let the bygones be bygones and may his soul remain in peace.And meanwhile let our India shine....

Right at this moment when i m writing these lines, people in Vadodara,Gujrat are living in the hope that the nightmarish events they are going through, will get over very soon.I read the news of a Muslim youth being burnt alive in his Tata Sierra by a mob of 2000 people. His fault ? well..to start with he wasn't a hindu and at the same time a muslim.He was also foolish enough to believe that no matter what... the city is of Humans.He forgot that religious fanaticism turns humans into a cannibalistic creature which doesn't have a face .He forgot that in the times of riots, 'might is right'.Whenever people's so called 'religious sentiments' got hurt they automatically get a license to kill, to burn, to rape, and to loot.These licenses are issued by some bastards(pardon me for cursing but nothing else was more appropriate) who know that vote banks are built on the blind rage of the mad crowd.And than these same bastards will give a formal statement which is nothing but some politically correct mumbo-jumbo which no body means and nobody believes.But it is recorded on the paper, and it is the only thing that will matter one day, if somebody approaches the courts.You might feel that what i m saying is a little exaggerated only for the purpose of making it more interesting, more readable.Maybe u are right or maybe u are simply wrong.Let's dwell on it some other time.And meanwhile let our India shine.

And did i forgot to tell u that Sensex recently crossed the "historical landmark " at 12000 points ???....great going isn't it ??
