So what, I spent one more day in office and did nothing special compared to a normal day. How does it matter? or does it?? Was I supposed to do something special or for that say, different from other day, today? Yes, I was, thats what record chain of mails in my mail box probably says or the statistical data of a survey reflects - 'Indians are Asia's second-most romantic lot with 68.5 per cent of them showing affection for their partners on this day - Valentines day'?? And, if the too 'numerical' people consider its because of population in India, then please, China is not the no. 1.
Wow, its an achievement, isn't it?? India again on picture. Shouldn't be the same thrilling feeling again, when our country, has demonstrated Asia's fastest supercomputer bypassing China and Japan?
..............Yes, what you are feeling is true, I am too sarcastic and hard. And, I don't find any reason, why I shouldn't be. It doesn't mean that I am unemotional or not romantic or I live with certain dogmatic principles to accept or reject things, but its sort of accumalation of emotions due to unpleasant truths, which always cover my romanticism. I live in an independent country where I have to stay in the room with fear because I may become a victim of certain special 'regional' countrymen. I live in a country where a woman gives birth to a child in a dirty toilet of train due to fear of getting killed for being a north-indian(http://in.news.yahoo.com/indiaabroad/20080214/r_t_ians_nl_general/tnl-train-from-mumbai-our-only-crime-is-b9e311f.html).
How am I supposed to suppress my emotions, rather give a U-turn to my emotions to be romantic just a day after the incidents happened? OK, I try to forget it. Whatever happened was a sort of misfortune or mishappenings. But again, how can I sleep with certaintity that it'll not happen again? How can I consider myself safe and start walking on the most expansive street with my girlfriend to celebrate the romantic evening of this V-day? Or, who'll guarantee this safety?
Ok, I try to become a bit neutral, try to do an analysis and come to the root cause why it happened, so that one can get a solution or atleast get a preventive measure. Forget about the political drama or media irresponsibilty and come to the real and natural public emotion or more specifically outburst. I feel it's not that people suddenly came out on the road and started beating a certain class without any reason(If I am not wrong) on one's call(Man is not a wild animal by instinct). There must be something lying in their mind from a long time that they are not getting enough employment opportunities or resources due to intrusion of other class.
Ok, get inside again, the other class which referred here is Biharis and UP-residents and they are mainly low-wages workers.So, why they've migrated leaving their own family or city? It'll be too blasphemous to say that they less intelligent than the rest of the Indians, then why? It is also being heard quite commanly that they are not honest or not ethically strong. What make them dishonest?? Get more in, start looking at their home, their family, their burdens. They are perhaps the most neglected class in political history of last 40-50 years. They are intelligent but not educated. They are performers but they don't have stage. They want to live but they don't have home. But, still they want to survive for their family, for their children. And, for that if they migrate, they become a criminal, they become a thief, they twitch others job, is it a sin???
I know writing a blog here will not solve any purpose, nor I expect by reading this mail, people will drop celebrating Valentines day. That is not at all my purpose. I also don't intent by writing this to increase the outrage, of a particular community for that sake, against any government or an individual as I feel that any particular policy will not be helpful without awakening the people who forgot to live. My sole purpose to write this mail is that I know the people who read it, if read, will be in a position of being privileged ones than them, and if they wish they can change a few lives, they can lessen few crimes, they can avoid a few misfortunes which is going to happen in near future due to regionalism or whatever, by distributing their knowledge, helping the unpriviledged ones and awakening the mass to stand at their feet with self-respect.
The country cannot be called progressive if the number of cars of few bureaucrats increases, it'll called progressive if a comman man of India start walking on road with self-dignity and self-pride without any fear.
Finally, I conclude with few lines of famous poet and shayar Sahir Ludhiyanvi -
Zindagi sirf mohabbat hi nahi kuchh aur bhi hai,
Zulf-o-rukhsar ki jannat hi nahi kuchh aur bhi hai,
Bhookh aur pyaas se bhari is duniya mein,
Ishq hi ek haqiqat nahi kuch aur bhi hai??
I feel this mail will not go to the "So what.........?" list of intellectuals.
