Any thing for………… Attention!!

This is the second instance in near past which has rattled me …. First one being a young nubile professing her Love for Charles shobhraj (also known as bikini killer) and eventually marries him…

But the second one really disgusts me…..

KASBAH IS CUTE……repeat ……..CUTE……

While driving to office today morning, I was listening to FM 91.1, amid the normal chit chat and friendly banter of the RJ’s, A lady called up to give her opinion on Kasbah ( the lone terrorist caught in Mumbai Massacre) and what she has to say………KASBAH IS CUTE……Yes ……..CUTE……I have seen his pictures and he is Cute.

I couldn’t believe my Ears and I am sure lots of people who would have listened to that would have felt the same….. Did that lady not read the articles which came along the picture telling how Frankenstein this guy was…. I believe meaning of Frankenstein needs to change ….. as ugliness has a new face….. KASABH

Sets me wondering…… what all we humans do for attention!!

A Man who saw Today........14 Years Back!!

Some time in 1994, a very dear friend of mine Alok, had written this poem, I can see the relevance today also.
Meaning of this is-- in today’s world which is modern , people have lost the meaning of life, earlier people used to stay in joint families and now they prefer nucleus families, They have broken the boundaries and made them smaller , just to conceal themselves.
We used to have gardens in front of houses, now we have cactus bonsais in our balconies.
Everyone is running to get some where, in doing so we are not bothered who lives or dies, its I, Me and myself syndrome,
We are building modern armaments which can wipe out humanity in one go...
have we progresses or gone back to stone ages...... has God created us for this Armageddon or peace......
I have tried to translate it in English, which is immediately below this one.

Thanks Alok....
प्रगति....!!!
मुर्दा शहर...
ढहते मकान...
गिरती चारदीवारियाँ...!

छोटे दरवाजे...
सिमटते आँगन...
कँटीली फुलवारियाँ...!!

यह वर्तमान की पसंद है
यह मनुज की प्रगति है
इधर न अब आना मनु
तुम्हारी थाती उधर पड़ी है

.....हाहाकार-चीत्कार !
.....क्रंदन-रूदन !!
.....प्रलाप-विलाप !!!
क्षमा करो सृष्टिकर्ता
ये उसी मनु की संतान हैं.

....ईर्ष्या-द्वेष !
....स्वत्व-निजत्व!!
....तृष्णा-वासना !!!
क्षमा करो कुलदेवता
ये उसी मनु की संतान हैं

....खींचतान-मारपीट!
....धर - पकड़ !!
.....ऊंच-नीच !!!
क्षमा करो आदिमनीषी
ये उसी मनु की संतान हैं

पतनोंन्मुख पथ....
विध्वंसात्मक परिवर्तन....
................त्रासद प्राप्तियां

मनु की ये कैसी विरुदावली!
मनु को ये कैसी श्रद्धांजलि!!
.........................
धन्य निष्प्राण मानव
धन्य मनु-संतान !

Progress….

Dead Cities….
Broken Houses….
Broken fences….

Smaller Doors…..
Contracting living areas…
Thorny gardens……

This is Today’s Liking
This is man’s development
So don’t come this side O'God
Your belongings are not here.

Violence and its aftermath…
Crying and living in pain…..
Forgive Us O' God
That we are your offspring

…Jealousy and Vindictiveness!
…Me and mine!!
…Unholy desires!!!
Forgive Us O' God
That we are your offspring

…Grabbing and Violence!
…Desire to succeed!!
…caste boundaries!!!
Forgive Us O' God
That we are your offspring

Roads leading to downfall….
Violent inducing changes…..
……..destructive results

Why is God Crying!
On his offspring’s Ode!!

……………..
………………

Long live The Dead humanity
Long Live the Gods Children!

Fight Back.... Right way

There has lot been happening lately in India and Mumbai In Particular.

The worst kind of attack on humanity by Humans with inhuman minds has resulted in around 200 official deaths and thousands of painfully slow deaths, where people will die everyday remembering their loved ones. Which will culminate over centuries to come.

I will not debate on what happened and who done it
I will not attend rallies and news shows to express my anger…..
I will not say who is inept and who is not.
…………. No………
I will keep this anger within my self and not let this feeling die.
I will speak when the time is right
I will show my strength in Ballot and help choose someone who is a protector
I will be a good citizen with my eyes and ears open.

I AM NOT HELPLESS.
