ALICE IN THE BLUNDER LAND


NOT KNOWING WHAT TO BELIEVE

Different facts and figures about recession and inflation and the much talked about corruption and black money…comments and cross comments of different NETAS justifying their wrong endeavors to save their GADDI…media reports weather to create awareness or rather improve their own TRP…all Jamming on together in my head and has gotten me stuck in the situation of not knowing what to believe.

Are the shooting prices of oil and petrol caused by OPEC’s decision or is it because of some NETA’s misdeeds in favoring some corporate KAROD PATI and then burdening the JANTA with the hiked oil and petrol prices to offshoot the losses incurred in government revenue.

Recent comments by Mr. Pranab Mukherjee about the SATYAGRAHS that they are harming the country’s democracy has forced me to recollect the definition of democracy which was being taught to me in class 7 political science and I surely remember that in a democracy, about the government it said that its elected BY THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE FROM THE PEOPLE, where everyone has right to speak against the government if he feels the government is wrong, so how can a Baba’s or Anna’s ANSHAN be a threat to democracy?? And even more tragic is that the so called oldest party of our country THE CONGRESS party which fought against the British through SATYAGRAHS is supporting him over such illogical comments. I think the lust for money has made them forget the principles of their own ancestors.

The concept of allied government has made the government even more handcuffed that poor Prime minister has to cover up every 2-G scam, CWG scam, S-band or the most recent one the petroleum ministry’s favoring to RIL and he has to back every RAJA, KALMADI or DEORA unless some investigation opens up the novella of their feeding themselves on the tax paid by the JANTA. And then comes the most remarkable part…our PM’s statement that he was unaware of what was going which takes my amazement to cloud nine as all these ministries lies under his own office, THE PMO. How can someone be unaware of the things happening right under his nose or he is just turning a blind eye on all these things in order to save his government which is standing on uneven legs.

Among all these things a person turns his head to media hoping to draw up the real picture of what is actually happening but to our bad luck the media especially the Electronic media serves no good…it further enhances your irritation level by showing the catchy news throughout the day to improve their TRP and make their own business and there by side lining the real news concerning the poor JANTA. Among all these PAID MEDIA further adds up to the JANTA’s plight.

The conclusion that I can draw out of this political drama is that everyone out here is power hungry and is sitting on the same branch, some totally imbibed in corruption, some at the verge of getting imbibed whereas there are some who are wearing the mask of baba holding the tree tightly afraid of being exposed. And all I can think of is that I’m the ALICE but not in the WONDER LAND but in theBLUNDER LAND

We say life’s not fair While complaining about the flavor less food in the mess While we are not able to get a seat to sit on a railway platform While criticizing the system for making us stand in a long queue at a movie theatre We say we are confused Confused of not knowing Which attire to purchase for a friend’s wedding Confused in choosing a restaurant to party Among all these complaints And confusions   Can we all just stop for a moment And look around…   Look around for   the construction worker who is in fact unaware if he will be able to   get two time bread and a room to sleep and relax each morning he wake up... look around for the maid who don’t even have two piece clothing to cover herself up who feels stranded of not being able to buy even a mango on her child’s demand... we say we are bewildered bewildered about which dream to chase and which direction to pursue In between this thought   juggling stop for a moment and look around   look around...

Talks are cheap but life’s not. Life is precious and worthy, it must be respected and loved as who can say that the coming moment will be the one which is going to change it all, the pain of losing a loved one is tender. When the newspaper speaks of the death tolls in a terrorist attack or a bus accident or a young boy losing it all in an accident, for a moment it seems how unpredictable this life is, how an instant changes it all and all doors to meet the person who defined your existence once are closed and you are left with a lot of talking moments and so many flash backs. How strange it appears that we plan so much about our future, how the things will be when we turn 25, when the strange truth is that we can’t even predict about tomorrow and this is the point which presents the fact that everything around is just a delusion. We lead a life where everything is ours yet we own nothing.  These lines correctly portrays it all “who can say where the road goes, where the day flows”...

गर्मियों की छुट्टियाँ

दो महीने की लम्बी छुट्टियाँ , दादी और नानी के घर पर बिताती ... रात को दादी की राजा- रानी की कहानियों में , खुद को  राजकुमारी मान कर ,  अपने ही सपनों में खो कर, सो  जाती ...    सुबह उठ कर, नानी के संग पूजा की थाली , फूलों से  सजाती और  उन के भजनों, के दो-चार शब्द  जो समझ आते, उन के साथ गुन-गुना कर बड़ी  खुश  हो जती ...  दादा के संग बजार घुमने जाती, और पड़ोस के चाचा की दुकान  पर   बैठे, लोगो को,  राम- राम साहब कह के,  उन से चार  टॉफ़ी पा कर , अपनी फ्हराक की छोटी-छोटी जेबॆए भर  लाती  ... दोपहर को नाना के संग ताश खेलती,  और कागज के गुलाम- बादशाहों  की  अनोखी दुनिया में खो कर, नाना की गोदी के तकिये पर,  सर रख कर सो जाती ... शाम को चाचा- चाची और मामा-मामी,  वाले दीदी-भईया के संग  लुक्का-छुप्पी  खेलती, और सब को भाग- भाग कर पकड़ लेती ... आज भ...
