Issues

After many an attempt over the years...
Twisted career paths...
Stormy relationships...
I finally seem to have found the balance in my life...

But sometimes...
Anger arises from the misuse...
Of religion... of actions in the name of God...
Ignoring the real issues that matter...

Have the protestors against the recent marriage of a Sindhi girl to a Muslim boy in Bhopal, or the Richard Gere/Shilpa Shetty event have no other work? Where do these idiots come from? They seem to pop out of the woodwork, turning an issue of personal choice into a media circus and a non-issue into a seemingly burning national issue!

I assume that these protesting idiots don't need to earn a living...

I assume these protesting idiots have never gone shopping for provisions, fruits and vegetables...

I assume these protesting idiots are unaware that ordinary apples are now 120-140 rupees a kilo... the same with all other food items.... which are going out of reach and becoming unaffordable for the average Indian...

I assume these protesting idiots think that issues like the Richard Gere/Shilpa Shetty kiss or a Hindu-Muslim marriage are more important and need to be dealt with on priority instead of real issues like inflation, poverty, joblessness, corruption, etc.!

And to think that these protesting idiots are being supported directly or indirectly by national parties like the BJP, Muslim League and other religious parties... who only survive on such non-issues and creating issues out of non-issues...

Disappearing Waters

the lake lies placid,
little knowing,
the pollution seeping,
builders encroaching,
are killing it.
