NO WAY OUT

I am writing this blog with a very heavy heart.It is a day when 17 Indian soldiers in Kashmir have lost their lives owing to an avalanche of snow.

It has been snowing very heavily in Kashmir near the disputed Indo-Pak border,and these soldiers were stationed at a camp near the border.What is most disturbing is the fact that I saw this news on BBC and no Indian news channel covered this story.

What the Indian media is busy covering, is the on going battle of words between shiv sena and shahrukh khan. CAN YOU FUCKING BELIEVE THIS.

I switch on the Tv and all I get to see and hear on the Indian news channel is shahrukh khan explaining how much Indian he is or some jurno asking the shiv sena, why they resort to violence in their means or for that matter why the ruling party in the state of Maharashtra,the congress is impotent and not acting against this Gunda Raj(Thackrey).No pun intended.

This is the so called BREAKING NEWS when we have a price rise situation,a 24/7 active terror threat from a neighboring country, army men dying for no reason, Maoists ripping apart the country,no infra in place for the upcoming Hockey world cup or the common-wealth games,drunk drivers mowing down innocent people and cops(sorry cant use innocent for cops),

infinite unsolved murder cases looming straight in our faces.

Now I am no economist or whatever shit it is called but I don't understand ,Why on earth are we facing a price rise situation when we have a expected GDP growth of 7.5% predicted for this year.

Have we as a country become so timid that a bunch of cock sucking,agenda less politcos can hold a country at ransom. Or have we become indifferent to our geo-political situation that we don't give a damn to whatever happens to the men gaurding us and have cocooned ourselves in a I-dont-give-a-fuck shell.

We all are looking for an easy way out out of the issues that dont affect us first hand.

I wont be cynical enough to say that it might just be us facing the music next,but one thing I can say is that there is NO WAY OUT of this shell.

I guess lighting up a candle at India gate makes us more Indian than standing up to the values we believe in, atleast on paper .

The only thing that unites us is the Dlf IPL ,or discussing neighbour country bashing while having a beer,tweeting our support for shahrukh khan against the mindless apes,joining a group on facebook to save the tigers..GIMME A BREAK.

Now this is no time to get patriotic(no Indo-pak cricket match is on),but I wonder if ever a movie called The Last Patriot(references from the last samurai) is made ,on whom would it be based/inspired on...me??
