Its been a long time since i wrote my last blog , I dont know why i am writing this blog too , but i think i have too many negative things in my mind which is just bugging me for past few weeks so thought let me put it out than they coming in my thoughts all the time and making me more negative.
Firstly , one day when vijaynagar main road was blocked , i just turned to see whats the reason , couldnt beleive my eyes ,there were so many dead tree trunks lying by the roadside, Reason to chop off ??
underpass construction!!!!
Involuntarily a tear dropped down my cheeks ,wonder what people might have thought but ,I have grown up with those tree i still remember one of them was a small sapling when i first started going to school and today its dead and people like hawks pouncing on it to snatch the trunk for firewood, But with all this are we really building on the infrastructure i dont think so , i still take 3 hours to reach home. I guess its more a mismanagement than infrastrucre problem.
Do they even realize that it is more important to have trees than build on infrastructure ????
If they cant bring that tree back to life they dont have any right to chop it.
Next, I watched madhur bhandarkars much talked about fashion , It was such a depressing movie !! made me feel so bad for a long long time , it was not those ramps , it was not kangana raunat who was always on drugs nor was it priyanaka who was crying all the time in solitude that touche me , It was the flow of the movie and the thought of that model who was found in delhi railway platform who was once a model n now a beggar away from family and also carol that depressed me,Why the hell these fools dont understand that its just a pyrric victory ???? why do so many people lose their worth character and integrity to get into that world.
god save those souls
As if all this was not enough , i bought The White tiger , by aravind adiga which won booker prize. I dunno what sadistic pleasure these authors get by blasting india ,It is we the people make this place, i agree that there are many negative things in india but isnt that the case anywhere on earth???
yes indian villages are still in darkeness but isnt it we who select our
politicians ???
And coming to ganga and 3600000 gods being criticized , Isnt hindu the only religion which gives freedom to worship any god and respects other religion equally ??? It is the sanatana dharma which emphasizes vasudeva kutumbakam! what right do they have to critize such a religion may be its too tolerant compared to others for such people, Which other religion has a female god ????
I think main problem in india is people are plagued by the disease of blaming others for anything and everything including me , and all the authors who know nothing but to pen their frustration.
May be a reader of this article will find this too arbit and senseless with no connection between them at all but i dunno how these 3 things were interwined and just adding to my negative thoughts.
ugh i feel better now

ReplyDeleteHi Mythri,
ReplyDeleteI tried picking the "positive" aspects of ur "negative" post.Here are some ....
1. It's actually great that the Karnataka gov. at least takes the initiative for such ambitious projects as underpasses to reduce commuter's plight.There are many states which are too indifferent to even the basic problems faced by their ppl.In fact the infrastructure has only improved here by leaps ad bounds compared to other cities.
2. Madhur bhadarkar has actually done the nation a service by exposing the hypocrisy behind the glamour world. This movie will serve as an eye opener to many disillusioned young ppl out there.
3. It is wrong to think that by highlighting the dark truths of india we r expressing our pessimism for our country.India like all other countries has it's share of the good and bad.It's no use hiding away the not so appealing aspects of our country.If everything was well and good maybe we would have started taking things for granted.
hi,
ReplyDeleteI never say everything's negative
coz i believe in good n bad hand in had , but some times it so happens that some negative engrosses you so much that you fail to realize it also has some good things.
and yes initiatives done are good but i dont really like the system, for ex mysore road flyover made 2 years back is already in bad condition, n i seriously dont know why it takes so long to cross richmond road.
Yes Madhur bhandarkars movie may be an eyeopener but it didnt need so many ramps to show case i guess :D it was like a conv in ftv which im personally not very fond of.
And about white tiger read my blog in http://bookreviewnlink.blogspot.com/
have highlighted the postive aspects of the book :)
Btw thanks a lot for the comments :)
