India Shining

"India is shining" the feel-good slogan by the BJP previously in the elections, claiming India's growth from a poor, illiterate country to a developing sophisticated nation , a peace loving country with booming IT sector. yeah we sure are shining. aren't we?
A train full of innocents burnt by unmindful, so-called "nationalists" surely shows India is shining bright, lit by the death of victims of communalism.
India sure was shining brighter than ever when a convicted terrorist called as afzal guru's death sentence was not carried out. reason : India is shining. don't we have to reflect in the polls coming up in Kashmir? we obviously need the Muslim brothers to realise that India was shining in their direction. didn't we? and "thinkers" like Arundhathi Roy defending these terrorists saying that they were 'trapped'. A Booker prize winner with so much of social responsibility! India is shining like the sun.
Then we have sophisticated terror bastards under the name of politicians, like Narendra Modi and LK Advani who support a "sadhvi" involved in a brutal terror plot under the name of hindutva. isn't India shining? all these days the nation only knew about Muslim terrorists. Welcome to the new India where we have Hindu terrorists under a new name : "sadhvi"!! backed by the shameless politicians.
India shines its glory when Indians are chased around in their own country by eunuchs like Raj Thackeray and group. That's because India was shining in the fire of regionalism. Who said we are a united country when we have organisations like MNS to light the fires of hate amongst ourselves?
And finally India shone like the brightest star in the universe when terror attacks razed Mumbai on 26/11. Where the Indian intelligence failed to give the smallest of indications about it. India shone in the pire of hundreds of innocents killed. India keeps shining when the sick politicians cannot unite even for a cause. All that our politicians can see in such heinous terror attacks is VOTES. The blame game has already begun. All that the congress wants to do is damage control and all that BJP wants to do is 'make hay while the sun shines'.

Not that everything is the fault of the politicians. citizens can probably take a blame or two. how many parents have told their kids to be politicians? heh. all of them want them to be engineers doctors, lawyers. any takers for politician? All that we know is to blame. I'd rather die in a software company working my head off rather than be there in the parliament. Right now our parliament is filled with retired actors,corrupt officials, business tycoons all who cant read a thing without their reading glasses. where is the fresh blood? where is that educated young Indian who is in politics with a urge to change the system? count me in. I am too going to be a shameless engineer who will only sit and blog. No wonder my heart swelled with pride when my 12 year old brother said he would love to die for India while watching the funeral of Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan.shame on us.
A few days after things will settle down and back to square one. India will be shining again. The powerless prime-minister, the yes-ma'am president, the pathetically armed army, the night blind Indian helicopters, less than 50% of police force that knows to handle ammunition, the corrupt or rather useless navy,the brave soldiers dying due to lack of protection and the least bothered government. India is shining.

Finally after writing down the lines i spent good 30 min over the lunch thinking what would be the title. well i did not have to go that far. i just stole a line from one of my favorite songs ever called blue night by MLTR. so i decided to call it you are the one i love. I am unable to attend my cousin's wedding tomorrow i.e 24th of nov thanks to damn internals!

A few words i really had to say. 'cause i mean them in the deepest sense.dedicating it to special and important people in my life.

BUT WHY ME?????

Sometimes in life we come across highly interesting situations in life. some situations in which all we say is "damn!!! why me??"
Well, i am usually a easiest bait of such situations. reason: i am a born perfect model of laziness. the Goddess of doing the simplest things in the wrong way. well in simple words, i am good in screwing things!!! :-/
When i am riding my bike to college in the morning class, i am late by a couple of minutes. Thankfully the traffic signals green. But just when i am about to happily wade the vehicle river dang!!! there goes the RED sign.. And to add to the misery, the cute guy on bike beside me crosses the signal while i am trapped back with a drunken auto-driver straining his vocal chords for some pathetically painful song and finally end up going late to college!! damn!! but why me?

I remember a instance when my friends asked me if i wanted to join them for a lunch in college canteen. i refused their offer too politely as the tasty pulav was waiting for me in my bag. I finish a tiresome lab session and sit down to gobble up the food only to realise that i have got it all messed.Mistakenly i had carried my brother's lunch box which invariably had plain curd-rice as he was not keeping well!So while my friends went out for a hog fest i was eating my curd rice cursing my ill-luck.
god damn!!! Why me?
Why aren't the first bench nerds ever late? ...why doesn't my mom forget to take her lunch box? why doesn't my bro throw his clothes all over the place and get shouted at?why why why? why is it always me ??
And to top it all, recently one of my neighbor (obviously a cute guy) happened to drop in to my place to return a book he had borrowed some time ago. And guess what! i was wearing a age-old pajama with a real old and completely faded barbie T-shirt(not even fit to be worn by 8yr old girls..a serious fashion blunder :-/) and even worse watching cartoon network picking the wax from my ears. i was soo engrossed in my act that i didn't even realise that this guy had been standing at the door for quite sometime staring at the loser lying on the couch in the comfort of pulling out the dirt from her ear without a even a tinge of shame or manners.. Duh!! goes without saying that he no more borrows any books from me.. damn..
why me? :(
