Give it a thought.....

There are tough times we face. I go through a lot of shit almost everyday, mostly related to friends. The typical problem never seem to end, right from gossip about some one asking out someone else to the eventually breakups, and the petty fights over crap never ends. But do people really need a reason?
Every other day I am either witness to or come to know second hand about problems or opinions or misconceptions a particular fellow teenager has, I guess everybody goes through this. But certain events happen that might want to make you get rid of whatever is going on in your life and think outside the box. Recently, say yesterday
I was watching this amazing movie called PRAHAR starring the man NANA PATEKAR
Himself. The movie is worth watching again and again. It is a feast for those who like violence also for those who prefer to take their movie in a more intelligent way. Probably Nana’s best performance till date. Enough about the movie, I was basically tired of a lot of things going on in my private as well as my social life, I just wanted a break. So at almost the end of the movie, there came a crucial scene, probably the most important one of the movie. Nana is shown in the court where he is getting court-martialed
For killing some hooligans who had earlier murdered a soldier and were also a menace to the society. In his defense Nana says (translated)”-we soldiers are sent at the border to protect the civilians from external threats, but the real threat which is far greater than we have ever faced is the one which is internal, and that threat is feasting on our society like termites-”. This although seems like a very well written dialogue but after thinking about it seems it’s as true as it can get. Nana in his speech refers to the hooligans and the related mafias as the threat, now try and relate it to the current scenario India is facing. Isn’t the dialogue too apt, too suitable for the India now? Everyday on the television or through any form of press we see the politicians making a fool out of the common man with every sugarcoated words or theirs, now the political influence has reached such heights that people supporting different political parties are made to fight against each other. This is where it doesn’t remain a contest, it simply crosses the line. Earlier the politicians were discriminating on the grounds of religion, now it has taken an uglier turn, territorial typecasting, courtesy Raj Thackrey and co. But it will be really unfair to just blame him, recently after 26/11(which brought tears to all of our eyes), we all were left under this dark cloud of despair hoping for a ray of light or a silver lining, but fear had struck Mumbai. Terrorists coming in your house and your held hostile or brutally murdered. Was that ever thought of even by the intelligence or the CBI or whoever concerned?
Every one was sad and afraid. The situation was silent but at the same time as intense as it can get. When everything finally got over and the army-men triumphed over the terror, there were instant news flashes and tickers on the screen about chief ministers of different states have issued cash donations for people belonging to their state and were victims of the attack.
Why wasn’t this responsibility or rehabilitating people who have suffered at the hands of terror taken centrally? There were SMSs talking about what did Raj Thackrey do when the terrorists attacked and how his SENA was incompetent of dealing with real problems. Whether true or false , the question I wished to ask was, was it the right time to do politics? There is civilian security at stake and politicians are still hungry for that seat?
The conclusion is really weird, interesting for some , maybe, but all I say is try to think out of the box ,living just within a virtual circle comprising of just your “friends” may seem like the better option, but the lesser the participation in facing the real problem, the bigger the problem becomes. Do it as a society. You will realize the problems you face in day to day life are not even close to what we should be working towards to solve.
