Life of common people follow certain patterns... Mostly everyone falls into that pattern... These are driven by the events around them and the degree of the influence of these events...
Just check out one of these evenings....
Preeti: “This is ridiculous. How can they do this to us? How doesn’t the govt do something about it…”
Ganesh: “This is how it is… What can you and me do?”
Preeti: “Come on!! We vote.. you pay such a huge amount of taxes and don’t you think these guys should do something about it?”
Ganesh: “Ha Ha Ha… Yes I do. But…”
Preeti: “Think about it.. Today its mumbai tomorrow it might be
Harish from inside the kitchen: “Till that time… Drink Beer and have fun…Fun until Gun!!! Bad bad… ha ha ha”
Ganesh: “ Exactly..”
Preeti: “You guys are impossible.. Kuch bhi… How can you say that!”
Vaman: “This govt is napumsak man…They just cant do anything”
Ganesh unusually angry: “So what do we attack
Harish: “Food in another 15 min”
Ganesh: “The point is we don’t want to get out of our comfort zone… That’s the whole problem… Everyone thinks about himself…”
Harish: “Another glass? See..that is not bad… It is natural instinct…”
Ganesh: “No Enough yaar... I agree..”
Harish: “Come on.. People like us, the tax payers are also required as much as anyone else in the society.. The ones in the ‘comfort zone’!!”
Preeti almost in tears: “Something has to be done.. We have to do something”
Harish: “Abe.. Change the channel man… She us getting psyched up. Abhi ganga jamuna chalu ho jayega…”
Ganesh: “Ha Ha Ha… Abe channel change kar be…”
On some news channel on TV….
“Breaking News.. Three more bombs found….
One reporter…’This is a --- channel exclusive…Lets talk to a person who was holed up in Taj…Aapko kaisa lag raha hai….” Bla blab bla…
Harish: “Assholes… Change it dude”.
On some other channel an Ad is going on
“agar aap election ke din vote nahe kar rahe ho to aap so rahe ho”
Preeti: “We vote and this is what we get.. We have to do something about it..”
Harish walking back to kitchen: “Abe yaar.. Phir se chalu..”
Ganesh: “Thik hai.. we will do something… Why don’t you suggest what can be done…”
Preeti: “Something can be done na? Somebody must start.”
Ganesh: “ok.. Why don’t you take the initiative… Why don’t you do something haan…It is as I said easier said than done…”
Harish: “Food Ready..”
Vaman: “First good thing I have heard today!”
Preeti: “Anna data sukhi bhawa”
Ganesh: “Lets eat!!!”
Well, this is how it happens I guess. The life’s mundane things are much more important than all the chaos until you are caught in that. Can something be really done? I have stopped thinking.. I guess the best thing is do your bit… Vote? Well I am still in 2 minds about that… My little bit would be, whenever I see some slack in security in and around the places that I go, try to raise my voice and hope something is done.
"Hope" that might will keep us alive until we are killed....

well.. acc to me we should not think ki "yeh kya ho raha hai"... "what can we do".. "..I hate politicians" ets etc....instead think..."what can be the solution".. "what do i know that i can provide a solution"... forcing to think - both u and ppl arnd you- on the solutions part rather than the problem part can help in progressing....that is what i believe... 1 example we just witnessed over our chat... my 1 idea merged and gelled so well with 1 from your side... if we cant do something in this age of social networking then when can we??
You are very right when you say that... Thats the whole point of this blog... The way we talk about things is like this... If we can change that... then ya maybe things will be different...
