I was travelling to Pune . On the way was going through "The Week" December edition , it left me in a state of logomachy - a meaningless battle of words. Front Cover mention -
INCREDIBLE INDIA !
- Pizza arrives in 30 minutes, the ambulance dosen't
- More mobile phones than toilets
- Car loans are cheaper thean education loan
- Foodgrain rots as people die of hunger
- Sex is everywhere except where it is supposed to be
- Rice is 40 rupees/kg where Sim cards are free.
- Family size has shrunk, but no of homes increase
- we worship goddesses and doom our daughters
- Indians need permits to visit Arunachal , the chinese allow Arunachalis without visas
- Individuals are hounded by loan recovery agents, defaulting firms are treated with kid gloves
- Obesity and malnutrition are both on rise
We all are familiar with these Indian Ironies , for majority Indians they hardly bother about trifling fact. A common statement which i noticed from people - "No one can change this country, we can't do anything we are common people". We abdicate the situation as we are expert in adjusting with the situations . Whatever happens we get adjusted to it as if "one is sugar to water". The crux of this is "adjusting" nature of ours. If Pizza arrives after 30 min one will be ready to talk about suing dominoes but if ambulance doesn't come on time then we would be ready to adjust . We worship goddess as we are greedy and somewhere is afraid of them , but do kill daughters in womb as we have got power to do so. Every one in family needs home for themselves, each member of family need a vehicle for their convenience. Mobiles phones are more than toilets as now a days everyone need the luxury accompanied with mobile , people are comfortable peeing on roads while talking to some stupid credit card vendors.
"Adjusting" nature is one of the main cause of above mentioned Ironies. But this aberrant behavior of ours dosen't stop India from being incredible.
"Its high time now, we need to change oneself". - this was the final thought came to my mind!
