[ I am re-posting an article I wrote on
The first fortnight of the New Year is over and sadly , I haven't grown any taller or slimmer... just that i realized I CUD CRY TOO.. I HAVE FEELINGS TOO.. nah nah , my results haven't come yet .lol..the CRUELTIES n ANTI-SOCIAL ELEMENTS of the world made me realize that..
so u think people have gotten over TSUNAMI already .. maybe not !!(in fact will never)... but things r generally "supposedly" returning to normal ... LALLU wants to run JHARKHAND , MICHAEL JACKSON wants a private trial with unsuspecting vertically challenged lawyers , BRAD PITT n JEN split n JEN moved in wid her HAIRDRESSER , BRITNEY SPEARS wrote a small making up note to CHRISTINA with only , get this , SEVEN SPELLING MISTAKES. Luckily , a public interest litigation has stopped BRITNEY writing her own lyrics for good of the society :D .. i think that's the end of the fun in this blog...
OF late whenever I open any newspaper, Magazine or switch between channels on the Idiot box, all I see are these key words-
VOYEURISM , SPY CAMS , HIDDEN CAMS , CHILD ABUSE , PEDOPHILIA , TRAFFICKING , ABUSE , TECHNO GIZMOS , STAR N CELEBRITY SCANDALS , ..........................( n a lot of other obscene stuff , which i am scared to mention , lest crazos might brand my blog as OBSCENE itself .)..... Now all this i am talking about is INDIAN ( newspapers/magazines/journals/news channels/news sites...).. keyword is INDIAN .. now that's really troubling me ...
IS THIS the MODERNIZATION/WESTERNIZATION one has been talking about of late ?? .. about 4-5 years ago i was happy INDIA was moving western ways .. now if u ask me, i wouldn't buy this idea anymore ...I DoN't call this MODERNIZATION..it really hurts me so much ( n i am serious)..each term i used above is in itself a very dangerous one , leading to a worse society ...
Here are a few incidents which have come to light of late
* DPS SEX SCANDAL- .. a schoolboy, a school gal, a camera phone , an MMS , emails of almost every person now ...
* MATINEE MASALA - a star duo( read as kareena and shahid Kapoor) "supposedly" embracing each other in a night club...
* MISS TAKE - former MISS JAMMU ANARA GUPTA being arrested for allegedly appearing in a porn cd ... but after more than an year's torture by her, forensic experts prove shes not the one in the cd .... ( sheesh call that justice ? )
* ROOM WITH A VIEW - a landlord caught after hiding spy cams in 3 rooms occupied by outstation girls .....
* ATM- TRANS-ACTION - a senior television journalist getting cozy with her male colleague in an ATM ..
* BOY, WHAT A FRIEND - a cd showing obscene stuff in which the gal's boy friend named CHAMPION alias TANVEER ANSARI , forced the girl to do insane stuff ...
* SHOWER SEEN - this talks about catching popular film actress "TRISHA" , showering by a hidden camera .. obviously the gal denies everything ....
* MANY OTHERS ....so many others stories to follow .. every day the newspapers talk about many such insane activities .. who can forget the recent killing of a gal in Briton by an Indian national ...n should we talk about Cyber crimes ... arising due to chatting n giving out private information on the net ... The will open yet another can of worms... All this means is that there is a
DEATH OF PRIVACY !!!!
If u have ever owned a credit card , a cell phone , a passport, a motorized vehicle , joined a club or social organization , sent an e-mail, engaged in an e-transaction, taken a loan , had yourself admitted to a private nursing home , taken medical insurance , .. it is almost certain that somewhere or the other personal information about u has been stored... Is this technology such a good thing ? What good is technology when you have no privacy ? where is security in this world???
what is happening?
is HOMO-SAPIEN becoming a HOMO-SPY??
is TECHNOLOGY inventing VOYEURISM , or as some would have it , is VOYEURISM spurring on TECHNOLOGY ?
Will we all end up, willy nilly , as PEEPING TOMS - or as their victims ? actually, at this very moment dun be surprised if somone sitting in another part of the world is peeping over ur shoulder n reading this very blog along with u !! WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF SATELLITE SPY CAMS ( forget web cams! )..
who r we to blame .. i am asking this from an INDIAN point of view .. we were supposed to have the BEST N OLDEST N........ CULTURE of all time.. where has that disappeared ( don't be offended by my asking this as if i am so different from ya all.. ).. we should have picked only the good of the WESTERN WORLD .. but we hav showed a more liking to the bad as well .. Well, that's why the age old syaing goes, 'Everything comes at a price, be ready to pay for the side affects too, just not for the good part' .......
this never happened in INDIA .. u c people smoking cigarettes n drinking alcohol at a very young age ...what about this culture of Scandals like the DPS and others I mentioned above... .. this is really hurting .. its been there for like few years now .. been happening in most top bracket schools of top metros of India ..only this time it has come to notice ..
who is to be blamed ?? RAUNCHY VIDEOS being aired on tv ?? LACK OF SEX EDUCATION IN SCHOOL?? national geographic/ discovery / fashion channels??? AIDS AWARENESS prog being shown on TV?? TEEN- AGE ?? talk bout the word "SEX" being a " TABOO" ... ?? what ?? what r the answers?? for most people " OBLIVION " comes to the rescue !!...... Just because we dust the dirt under the carpet, doesn't mean the place is clean. Guess for all of us, it is good enough, if we don't see it or if we don't talk about it. No one care what actually happens below the surface or behind the screens.
one thing which is scaring me now are the AFTERMATHS of TSUNAMI ... so much of destruction everywhere!! ......'child abuse'?? the thought itself is scary .. TSUNAMI has given the TRAFFICKERS a perfect opportunity .. already false vows have started and many people have been kidnapped .. INDONESIA has woken up , so did SRI LANKA, to stop trafficking of ppl......what about INDIA though ?? no answers yet ?? sad to say that INDIA actually encourages such ANTI-SOCIAL ELEMENTS to happen .. everything for money .. no UNITY ...200 years back BRITONS invaded us , taking advantage of our GREED FOR MONEY AND LACK OF UNITY .. even today child abuse/ pedophilia/ trafficking/ still exisst in this country only because of the people and politicians .. so many people are illiterate or lack common sense .. this became obvious when in a popular show called INDIAN IDOL , ( Indian version of American Idol) people started voting for a part. candidate without much thought process ...They give more importance to regional, caste and religious feelings, rather than taking the side of truth and honesty.....For the rest who are literate and have white collar jobs, they are blinded by money, power, sex among other things. Corruption is at its highest. For no reason this era has been called 'KALI-YUG' in the hindu sacred books....
LACK OF UNITY/ ILLITERACY /CORRUPTION/ POLITICAL WHIMS/ POVERTY / GREED/CASTE SYSTEM/ QUOTA SYSTEM ..are few of the reasons for our fate even today ...
so people .. let us all join hands today ( n i really mean it ).. let us all be united .. and then try to remove the anti-social elements from our country.. selflessness .. is required... Be the one to make the decisions and take the first step, instead of throwing the lead to others.... let us make our country a better place to live in .. HOW DARE THE BRITONS CALL OUR PLACE ONE OF THE WORST PLACES TO RESIDE IN?? let us prove them wrong .. The whole fact that we are still one of the leaders in world in may areas, despite being ruled and exploited totally by the Brtions, years back is an achievement in itself, which talks a lot about the character of the Indians. Let us make it a better place, let us make India, the best place it was before anything ever happpend to this land of angels and gods....
P.S: I wrote this blog with lots of emotion.. It was not written to offend anyone's views. Please overlook that, if you feel so. hope u understand my grudges.....
Let us start doing something good for our country.. MAKE IT A WORTHY PLACE TO LIVE IN ...we r no less than any of the SUPER POWERS .. TAKE A CUE FROM COUNTRIES LIKE AUSTRALIA N AMERICA .. they are also as big nations as us ,, but still they are super powers ..Why?.. We can whine all we want.. I gave few of the reasons why this is happening, but talking about them is one thing and actually doing something to change it, is another thing...So let us start doing something...... let us stay UNITED ..
UNITED WE STAND , DIVIDED WE FALL...
Remember WE ARE INDIANS and Let's FEEL PROUD ABOUT that
Cheers and Peace
