Why? A question that not many can answer. A question that many do not like to be asked. A question that I ask those mortals who live this life like they are the center of the universe. The ignorant fools who lead a life of delusion. Believing what they do is the ultimate answer to the question of life. WHY?
I was driving down the road that narrowed down at a point. Some pricks had parked their vehicles exactly where it bottle-necked. Hence the already congested traffic was asked to squeeze through a space that was enough for just a car and a half. Citizens with some civic sense slowed down and made way for vehicles from the opposite direction. Along came the king of the road on his iron horse, ripping along the wrong side of the road or maybe he was American. As indians we are so accustomed to such situations where such people go unquestioned. WHY?
Election fever is gripping the nation. And the biggest drive in the country is for the youth to vote. But who do you vote for? All the candidates seem to have an equally criminal profile. And if they are good, or even close to G of good, they are puppets in the hands of the political warlords. Parties that play chess with our country folks. Dividing this already diverse country, in terms of caste, creed, religion. Even linguistically!! I was shocked to see the manifesto of some groups who vowed to abolish "English and Computers" from the country. Obviously, they were unaware of the fact that their backdrops were done on photoshop and their handout- manifesto copies were typed on pdf's. Unfortunately, the uneducated believe this is their ray of hope. And the educated stand back with their ever benighted attitude. WHY?
Why is it that we are unable to generate this common sense among the common man? We blame illiteracy and poor education for this. But it is the educated who do the mistakes. And from there on its just a blame game that frustrates the righteous. Bringing in an ignorant attitude of, "Why question him and waste my time? Its not like he's going to learn." The question is when are WE going to learn? The solution to a problem lies in each and every one of our hands. An initiative by one will be followed by thousands if it is for the right cause. All one needs to do is to stand up.
Three hundred years we were slaves of the brits, liberated only to be enslaved again by the criminal masterminds in our country. Only this time, we do not know hom much of slavery we are being put through. So subtle it is. Really, hats-off to those, who were and still are able to delude the 1 billion of us successfully.
Cheers to large political net they've made where all the common men like us are the weak links.

A New Dawn
I can't really undertand why I'm putting myself through the tedious processes of creating a blog. But, I guess its the easiest way to tell the big small world of mine what is happening in my life. So please do not panic if contact is lost. It's just a temporary connection problem. Report the problem and it will be solved, if it matches my terms.
In short, this is me, a different person in my thoughts. So enjoy it. Intellectual freedom for me finally (I hope).
All the above may be very vague and unrelated. So don't sweat. You have a lot to learn. Life's a long winding road. So keep walking...
