Colors of India

Is there a better color than red to describe love and the feeling of love?

India is one country where love has had a very colorful history, past and present. It is something that has always existed under the watchful eyes of the community do-gooders. It seems that these kinds of people do not have any other work to do. They feel that they are the eternal good Samaritans and have to shoulder the responsibility to set the youngsters on the right track.

Sometimes I feel if we were not born with any rights? Why do we need to consult a thousand people before I get married? Why is it difficult for people to accept that we are grown individuals and we have the ability to entrust our lives with someone?

India is one country which is full of mystic and charm. However, there are a lot of undercover things which do everything to try one's patience.

Everyone is wondering why the talk of reservations has not hit blogtown. I think they must be there but maybe obsolete.

It’s easy to wonder why Indians wake up when the storm has hit and is raging havoc. I salute the doctors who have retaliated on this in an amazing manner. Kudos to them!

And now let’s talk about these damned reservations. I can only say that I am appalled. It’s shameful enough to claim that we will live in a democracy. A democracy where our views, our opinions do not matter.

So much happened: endless strikes, demonstrations, lathi charges...But then what?? The Government just wants to ensure its vote bank and wants it to stay in place.

Who is elected? It does not matter to the rich; they have enough monetary resources to fund their every need. It matters to the poor? No. I don’t think so. They just constitute the largest vote bank for politicians. What about the middle class? Somehow, I feel that we comprise the most neglected lot. Why? Because we don’t care to vote.

I am sure most of u might have read/seen Mr. Arjun Singh's interview on Devil's Advocate. Now, Mr. Thapar is by far the most enigmatic journalists.

And Mr. Arjun Singh! He did not have any answers except blaming it on the parliament or the jurisdiction of the parliament. And Mr. Singh, I thought that you were educated.

Next thing in line, Da Vinci Code. Every religion has its stories, some of them are good, some of them are bad, and some of them are hidden. Dan Brown clearly mentions his work as fiction but why did Indians receive it in this manner? I fail to understand. Why can’t we accept things and move on? It is only a book, so what if it stabs the religion? Can we not face that?

I don't know where this country is headed. Why can't we focus on issues which are more pertinent? Do something about improving education, do something about poverty, and do something about sexual harassment.

In India, you just need to know a cop to get away with murder, rape, felony, homicide…just about anything.

Talk about the big-wigs. Rahul Mahajan snorted cocaine in a Rs. 500 note. It is a substantial amount for me but of course, he has money to work for him and the middle class like us needs to work for money. But at least at the end of the day, we are satisfied with our lives.
