DEMOCRACY - Demo(n)Crazy

It has been long since I posted my views on any topic. Frankly, there was nothing interesting to comment upon. Reading about Arundhati Roy and her speech on Kashmir which made news led me to think about people who love to talk in support of some issue (so they say).with half baked information. It is interesting how in a democracy, people are allowed to say what they want, do what they want and also get away the way they want !

People speak their mind without much thinking, bothering to get facts right or really understanding the situation. You will see a tennis match of words being thrown around in our political arena with each one wanting to say something about their opponent. If we could pause their conversation for a minute and playback to each individual what they said, I am sure most of them will not believe they made those childish or ridiculous comments !

The other interesting news was on CWG where crores of public money was syphoned by organisers of the game. People who are crying foul is making noise for 2 reasons - one to build up a scoring point for next elections against present government and second, dis-belief at their ill=luck at missing Golden opportunity to make quick money. Their crying had nothing to do with seeking justice for common man or for corruption.
