I go to office at 11, bug my team and take them for this cute movie Janne Tu (from the little that me saw), I am enjoying every scene of the movie (as my friend does the translation). I am loving this Aditi character for two reasons, firstly, She is more stupid, silly and sensitive than I am and secondly, She does all that I do, proving Mom's statement, "There is none like You" wrong. When She uses that statement as the last weapon against me during our fights, I can now say, " There are people worse than me" :). The very thought of this, gives me immense joy. I am too engrossed into the movie that I don't realise that I am getting calls. At some point, there are too many dialogues in Hindi, and since I am not able to understand, my concentration drifts and I realise that someone wants to talk to me on my mobile. One of my friends calls me to find out if I am safe. I can sense the care and concern in his voice. I feel too proud to tell him that I am out for a movie on a weekday, without realizing the seriousness of the situation, till I see all my friends out of the hall with mobile on their hands and worry abouts their loved ones on their faces.I immediately want to check the whereabouts of the people whom I care for and I call this stupid friend of mine at first, only to get a reply which sounded very much like a Robot. I then talk to couple of my friends. Knowing that they are safe, I walk into the hall again. When the actual story is about to start couple of my team mates with a sigh of relief enter the hall and suggest we leave the theatre and get back to office immediately.I am to reluctant to leave the cute looking Genelia and smart looking Imran on the screen and go back to work. I decide not to whine like a kid and be quiet on the way back. The devil starts working on mind (which usually happens when I don't talk). This is what the devil made m think.
Series of bomb blasts that rocked the city has led to much fear and panic although the blast wasn't intense. Revenge and retaliation has made life of common man miserable. Babri Masjid was demolished in 1992, as a retaliatory measure the Islamic terrorist blew Mumbai in 1993 leaving a thousand innocent dead. Ever since there has been no stopping. Communal riots have become the order of the day and the ones affected are common man unnecessarily.In fact I recollect a Hindu - Muslim clash couple of weeks back in North Bangalore, which led to nothing other than chaos. The killers go scot free or are awarded some years in jail with a minimal penalty. The government spends millions on feeding them and eventually releases them after the completion of their term. Their gang beckons them to continue similar tasks again, making it their lifestyle. But, it is not these people who are to be blamed, They are just slaves, the puppets, whose strings are pulled by none other than the politicians.
They represent the dreams and aspirations of a billion plus population and are responsible for the welfare of the nation.They sit in the hallowed enclosure of the parliament and make big promises most of which are broken mercilessly. They instill faith in the public and crush them when their purpose is served.Hardly anything is done in the name of development and growth, yet the common man is forced to pay tax and comply with the rules and regulations.The entire world witnessed the horse-trading of the ministers that happened in our country last week, through the so called trust vote where the government managed to win the trust of the ministers, in the worst way possible, but lost the trust of people. Prime minister, must be ecstatic after winning the trust vote. Congress must be elated to retain power and it is party time for those ministers who made money. But for once I expect congress to expect Manmohan Singh to act like a leader. The only good deal that could come out of this ugly deal is the nuclear deal. It sounds funny to me when I think that my kids will read from their civics books that ," There was Manmohan Singh, the prime minister of India who is the Father of the great legacy - nuclear deal".So, it is as always people who are made the fool. My office cafeteria was crowded to watch the drama live. (I have seen it this crowded only on 20- 20 finals before). Such is the state of the people. Why do politicians do this?. Why are invariably all politicians greedy? Why nobody to serve the people? Why do they work for their betterment and not the betterment of the entire nation?. I seriously can't think of an answer for such questions. My friend says, there can be a solution only if youth enters politics. But, what happened to Lok Parithran, a party started by IITians. It is not a party of youth anymore. The politicians are all faceless freaks, with a fire in the belly to grab power, who will stoop to any levels for the chair and have the unscrupulous ambition to retain it. In their chronic quest for power, they have become unethical and set a bad identification for the nation.

The common man will be happy if the basic needs are met.The government must try to impart a new impetus to growth and investment by removing the existing obstacles.Security is the biggest concern and must be addressed immediately.
Finally, I say to myself, " Hope the situation will change. India will make it big!".
