- We buy a new car and then keep the plastic wrappings on seats, red ribbon on hood and some times even the paper mats under the carpets intact for several months… just to keep the feeling and of course showing off that its a new car!
- Any smartass will grow a beard, wrap himself in saffron cloth (with potbelly hanging out) and start preaching on stage or a TV channel about any damn thing from yoga to religion to moral values to traditions and culture. We the people start following him staunchly and then one fine morning we come to know that the so called guru jee is involved in a sexual harassment case or with a terrorist group in backyard of their hermitage.
- A crazy driver does a hit and run accident and people come up on road while putting buses, building and other public properties on fire. Government will do nothing to find the guilty, but create an additional speed breaker (no matter it is a highway) at the place of accident and get rid of its responsibility.
- A scam or scandal for thousand millions (of course the hard earned money of the tax payers) or a dreadful gang rape or a horrendous murder happens and every news channel go crazy with their breaking news for few days, then a new scam appears and every body forgets about the previous one like it never ever happened. Can you remember what was the verdict with “Harshad Mehta”, “Amarmani Tripathi”, “Telgi” and so on.
- Political parties choose a veteran movie star as election candidate instead of a devoted worker, who has spent years of his/her life in the party while doing some thing worth for the region. On top of that, the star will win with a historical difference from the nearest opponent and then go back to the show business while never coming back to the region where he/she was elected. Lively example – “Dharmendra” won from district Bikaner (Rajasthan) and then never came back for next 5 years coz he was too busy with scantily clad “Mallika Sherawat” sitting in his lap (This is not fictional, it was an actual statement by latter during the shooting of a ‘B’ grade movie.
- And last but not the least, we spend millions of dollars (not INR but dollars actually) in the name of armed forces, security bureaus and law enforcement agencies but 10 eunuchs come in with tons of ammunition and no one even notices them. They attack on the most sensitive and important places of country (even parliament) and kill hundreds of innocent people. During all this time, our leaders inhabit themselves in the safe zone of ‘Z’ grade security, only coming out to declare a compensation money to victims, give canned statements on how it would not be tolerated and of course making provisions to increase the security for themselves!!
Mera Bharat Mahaan indeed...
Cheers!

Good Post!Thanks for reminding 'forgotten heroes' like..harshad mehta,Amarmani,Telgi.....
Three categories are destroying India!Bollywood,BCCI&Politics!The 3 are inter related!
@ Scattered Thoughts...you have captured the "anything goes" attitude beautifully...true, you are right it happens only in India!!!
But Why does this happen only in India?? Something wrong with us??
we believe in fate so do nothing..v lazy?? what? i'm sorry but i'm plain angry..the irresponsible ppl in media, in politics, in the administration...these guys never pay any price?? When will they?
When they pay the price, it will stop happening in India.
P.S. Plssss dont insult 'enuchs'- nature's dirty joke already on them, at least dont equate them with 'terrorists'
scrawler - that is what my point is.. we forget every thing so easily... like it never happened.. a million dollar scam is forgotten like a page 3 gossip.. and that is why we are in such deep shit. Heaps of people will come out on roads in celebration for winning a cricket match but not a single person will protest for the matters which are really significant..
sen - yeah and that is the most unfortunate thing that it happens only in india :(
vin - the reason is very simple.. its us.. we the people.. Like I said in one of my earlier posts
http://wobblebubble.blogspot.com/2008/08/politics-aka-raj-neeti-why-we-are-in.html
we scream about these things all the time but given an opportunity to do some thing on grass root level, we will try equally hard to run away.. so the fact is that every one is responsible.. you.. me and every one else like us..
As you guys can see in first few points, when I started writing this post, I was thinking of the lighter side of the things. But as I advanced, I really couldn't control my frustration with the current situations.. I mean what the heck is going on in our surroundings.. be it our judicial system, infrastructure, medical facilities, defense or whatever.. every thing sucks big time.. and still we keep on running away from the things.. like sen said.. what goes of my father.. that is the attitude which is ruining us.
vin - yeah.. comparing the terrorists with eunuchs is really insulting the latter... but I don't know what kind of people are these.. are they really humans? do they also have children, wives or other relations? no they can't be human beings... coz if they are, then how come their soul approve of all these deeds they do? why the picture of their own children don't come into their eyes when they make hostage to innocent people.. kill them without any reason... do they really know why they are doing all these dreadful things... hah.. just questions.. no answers..
Good post!!!
Thanks Karthik
The Politicians want the MUSLIMS kick out of t country becaus they share t religion of the terrorsits?? So it'll make sense and bring harmony in our country?? it'll disrupt.. I am praying not to happen, these Shiv Sena and RSS goons should not let out the violence in Mumbai and other parts of India on the Muslims, if such a thing happens the Terrorists wins in their plan to disrupt peace, disrupt the financial situation in India. The heroes didn't look It as Mumbai.. They are from UP, Bihar, jHarkhand and every part of India-- stress INDIA.. When v all think of strengthening the internal security system crubbing the terrorists outside, we forget these issues which cn burn big in India.. So thats why i mentioned abt RT and RSS.. Think of it.. Every issue must be considered thta affects t harmony of INDIA and especially RSS too
ST, read ur post, completely agree with it. So, now its action time for us..cant afford to carry on cribbing abt corrupt politicians!
Oh come on. I think you're being a bit unfair to our country :).
vin.. read my next post about vote nobody.. that is the least we can do.. no ?
marina - you can say so but I really can't help it.. I am simply frustrated with whatever is going on.. :(
Don't be frustrated but passion is good :)
