Casual Thoughtfulness!

“The real India”, its quite agonizing a phrase for a true Indian to hear. What do people really intend to mean while using such a phrase? Are we living in an Unreal, Imaginative wonderland? Is it that we are fantasizing everything and the REAL India is in the slums? Most People across the world, including some of the (Non Returning Indians) actually enjoy pitying every bit of anything in India that has an ugly sight. Pity is such a condemnable expression, no human has any right to pity the state of another human. Its for those narcissist, pompous people who benefit publicity by using such a pitiable expression of “Pity”. “Real India” – its not the Taj Mahal, The Red Fort; its not even the Slum (dog millionaire); its not its democracy and politics.

What a perfect way to start the day, just pick up the daily newspaper supplement and you have it on your face, that sarcastic sheepish smile when you read, “Jesus doesn’t say you can’t show cleavage”- Rakhi Sawant. Next in line is a jerk posing nude for publicity and yet another so called guru teaching naked yoga in US. Then comes new reality TV show-buying people to sell their lives for a petty sum. “Ape the West”, we have been hearing this damn quote ever since we were kids. Has nothing really changed since then or are we really the “ape” to not understand the repercussions of aping? As it is relations are losing meaning in this so called country of “Sanskriti” and “Sabhayata”. I really surrender for failing to understand the message these reality TV shows on infidelity, being copied from those controversial serials of west, want to convey the countrymen. Is it to stop trusting your beloved, go berserk over petty issues, lose your patience and give up on the virtue of forgiving? ...
