I have stopped watching news but the Indian in me still
instigates me to scroll through news.google.com atleast once a day and that’s
how I keep myself aware of the current affairs though I am under no delusion
that I am enhancing my knowledge by reading this stuff as it is as shitty (if
not more) than Ekta Kapoor’s TV soaps. Anyway, the point is that I intentionally
or unintentionally get to know about some random stuff from these news feed,
things such as Aamir Khan’s statement, Kejriwal’s office raids, other
statements on intolerance and stuff. What I find most amusing is that people
just leave their own work and start defending / supporting the party they like,
which eventually leave them with titles such as AAPtards and Modi Bhakts.
And I wonder how these political parties are getting their
work done by us. Basically they just do something
and leave the remaining battle to be contested between people who have no
business whatsoever in this. I mean what will anyone gain by posting something
derogatory about Kejriwal or Modi or even Lalu Yadav. Chalo, even if you do a
great job of finding some facts about AK having said something in the past
which he is contradicting, how are you helping anyone or even yourself?
Media or should I say manhoosiyat,
looks like is the manager working for the political parties whose job is only
to pass on daily topics to us. Just compare it with an IT company, the senior
management decides on some project, managers are told to pass on directions to
the software engineers (SEs) and SEs then just work on that job. The only difference
here is that the SEs ARE NOT GETTING PAID FOR IT. Senior management is getting
their work done for free..!! and we Indians who pride themselves in being a
very intelligent race is being played openly.
This is a simple request to all my friends to please stop sharing;
posting anything about Kejriwal, Modi, and the likes (RaGa is and will always
be an exception). Even if you are proved right in the end, there are no prizes
for guessing the right answer here.
