expressing myself...

Recently I came across a very critical article by Santosh Desai in Times of India. I really cant deny that I have become a fanatic fan of his writing.

The topics he choose to write are very general yet very subtle. Very few of writers dare to write such truth about our social and political system.

Concentrating on the article, I fully agreed about the views he gave in that article about how we, the people, get distracted from our main issues and daily problems that we face and instead of discussing how to eradicate them we are busy in discussing some really irrelevant stuffs.

As if this is not enough of irony, we even enjoy participating in these discussions making them breaking or most popular news of the year.

Quoting his sentences, after all Sania is just a tennis player, Cricket is just a game, Amitabh Bachchan is just an actor, My name is Khan is just a movie, Valentine's day is just a day and Marathi is just a language.

Why do we bother about them ?

These issues are just virtually created and hyped by as people like mirch and masala in news. But these issues never cater to our demands of basic necessities.

In public forum, people talk about these issues and waste their precious energy in discussing something that is irrelevant in their day to day life.

Why not media talk about naxalites, about the conditions that compelled them to handle guns and ammunitions. Why they only talk in against of them. Because thats what majority wants to listen.

Nowadays media has become demand-sensitive. What you demand will be supplied to you.

There are very few channels left who really provide right and true news. Others are just making us titillate for a moment.

I got to know about the atrocities done by big steel companies in Dantewada, Orissa and Chhatisgarg areas on the tribal residents from an article by Arundhati Roy, a forerunner activist for the lands of tribal people in these areas that has been taken by some big honchos for there material profits.
Reading that article made me realise why there innocent tribals followed the route of terror.

And to a great surprize, what our government is doing. Declaring war on them.
They actually dont want to solve the problem, they want to curb them.

But we, we are still least bothered about the real things and happily living in our cocoon where everything is virtually formed, fake, unreal.

Most of the criminal cases against big terrorists are pending and one more is going to be remain pended from today but we least care. We love to see saas bahu soaps with lots of freaking breaking news in some selfish pathetic news channels but....

LEAST BOTHERED.
