… AND SO WE FORGET – THE 26/11 TRAGEDY (18th Nov 2009, 1350 Hrs)

… AND SO WE FORGET! – THE 26/11 TRAGEDY (18th Nov 2009, 1330 Hrs)

Just after a week, rich & famous, celebrities & socialites and most of the senseless Mumbaikars will go all out to celebrate the dreaded terrorist attack on 26/11. That is right folks because for them, any event, horrible or non-happening, is an excuse to hog the limelight in Dailies Page 3 celebrating to the hilt even though hundreds of innocent lives were lost showing how incapable our government has been to secure our country and safeguard us. Well, the celebration, which has been planned by many celebrities just to hog those columns in dailies to show how much they care about their countrymen’s lives, families who have lost their family heads or relatives, are in fact, planning to resurrect their already dead existence from the party circuit. How callous they can be to celebrate over other’s dead bodies? Do we really care folks?

While crores will be spent on all these celebrations, there are still relatives of 26/11 victims, who have not received their compensation announced by the central government, state government and NGOs… Cheques that have been issued to the victims’ families have bounced and there has been no response from the Central Government Office, who issued these cheques. Is it an irony or else the bigger tragedy than 26/11? Well in a way, what the terrorists did to us is much better because they united the divided Indians as ONE INDIA… but the corrupt politicians with their selfish actions and motives divide us to spread hatred as small-small divided parts / regions of one India. Will these rich & famous, celebrities & socialites unite to force the government and demand as to why the poor victims’ families have had to suffer for one long year and run from pillar to post to get the announced compensation to lead a life without their beloved? NO! Instead, they will take their fee to perform and provide their presence in the celebration and forget the very next day about 26/11 for another year till 2010.

Soon after the horrible tragedy Mumbaikars united to shout some slogans, walk the talk with some beautifully crafted banners, burn some candles, laid down some fragrant colourful flowers and united to force the Centre to remove Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh. What has changed since that chain broke? Mumbaikars started fighting with Mumbaikars in the name of language, states, religion, political parties, drinking water and what not … so tell me, do we really need terrorists to unite us always against the corrupt politicians, who always divide us with their false promises and greed to exploit and mislead us to sell their own countrymen’s deaths and miseries to earn their crores… which they will accumulate, accumulate and die without really making the right use of all the money; because of which, they don’t even hesitate to deprieve millions of lives their basic necessities?

Well, greed is the basic problem that gives rise to everything that is horrible for creating chaos in the world. Sharing is the real solution of every problem in the world to overcome in a united manner. However, we will never unite while we can. We will never share and care because we always enjoy watching others suffering. Strange isn’t it? Why do we only care for others when tragedy strikes in various forms? Well, nothing has changed and nothing will because we forget so soon about tragedies in our fast-paced life that… a year will pass by and once again callous people will shed their crocodile tears for the senseless media to capture them in Page 3!

SHATABDI STONE PELTING INCIDENT IS ALL A PUBLICITY STUNT TO GAIN MILEAGE: CONGRESS HAS STOOPED TOO LOW FOR STATE ASSEMBLY POLLS (17th Sept 2009, 1350)

SHATABDI STONE PELTING INCIDENT IS ALL A PUBLICITY STUNT TO GAIN MILEAGE: CONGRESS HAS STOOPED TOO LOW FOR STATE ASSEMBLY POLLS (17th Sept 2009, 1350 Hrs)

The way, the Congress led UPA government is going just to garner sympathy for few state assembly polls, is really pathetic! How low can one be, one should learn it from Congress…

First Rahul Gandhi travels with bunch of security personnel in Shatabdi train and especially on that very particular day, there is a stone pelting incident. Now, this is not a coincidence because the train has been running since years together so why only that particular day, some people decide to throw stones? COMMON SENSE! It was a publicity stunt as we all have seen in Bollywood. Just before a release of a film, either the hero-heroine becomes an item or their love affair goes kaput… After the release of the film, intelligent journalist will finally open the lid of the can, full of dirty worms…

I remember a very funny incident during a press conference of Farhan Akhtar’s LAKSHYA, starring Hrithik Roshan and Preity Zinta. After the general Q & A and announcement session, the stars and the director were grabbed by respective media for a one-to-one session. The funniest thing which happened was, in one corner of the hall, Hrithik was lying point blank how brave he was to climb to 30,000 ft in Himalayas for the shooting and blah blah… more blah…. While in another corner, Farhan, the director of the film was disclosing everything was shot in a studio. After the release, Bengal’s renowned actor Victor Banerjee’s daughter Keya revealed how she played with the SFx (Special Effects) to create the rock climbing sequences on high mountains and those tanks firing while Preity Zinta was reporting…

Bollywood stars, directors and politicians are of the same breed and they lie point blank and like fools, journalists believe them to be true… the recent Andhra Pradesh shock deaths (of YSR fan) after CM YSR Reddy’s death was announced controversy or the real truth, that Congress paid families of the dead to claim, says it all. When death can be bought by Congress leaders so that Jagmohan Reddy can become the CM in place of his father, it shows to the nation as to how low the politicians can get just to grab that chair of power.

If deaths of innocent poor people can be bought in few thousands and a false promise of a job, so can few hooligans to throw stone at train in which Rahul Gandhi was traveling. Remember how the Gandhi scion fooled the nation, poor villagers and the media in Bundelkhand before the election, by working in hot son with the villagers??? Today, when the same villagers are selling their wives to buy meals for their families, Rahul Gandhi is no where near them to provide them aid and relief, even at such a crucial time of drought. All these austerity drive of the Congress is publicity stunt to gain mileage for state assembly polls.

It is indeed a shame that they are the ruling government and instead of providing relief to the citizen, they are wasting time, money and their image, to only prove HOW LOW & CHEAP THEY CAN GET! Wish the nation wakes up and drive out Congress from power and only then they will realise what the citizen wants!
