Today
I just happened to watch the news item on CNN-IBN
about a quack treating the sick and diseased
people with sword in almost a tribalistic
ritual. I was aghast at reading the almost
barbaric ritual in the name of treatment and was
asking myself, "Is it still possible in this age
of IT and what not"? How could people be still
so ignorant? It really bursts the bubble of
Indian development and progress. It also makes
me realise that there are probably still people
who are out there left alone far behind from
mainstream with no stake in the development.
Whose fault is this? Only God knows. I only can
hope it improves soon.
I also felt a little bit angry at IBN for
sensationalising the issue as usual and putting
as the front news. Even though they are just the
messenger, I wish they had exercised caution
without going overboard. But sadly this channel
is never going to improve. They always print the
infamy in bold letters but fail to even do some
reporting on a profile in courage, honesty and
simplicity of Late Manju Sinha whose death
touched almost all Biharis even though we hardly
knew her. As I am growing up, I am getting more
and more cynical about the realities of the
world. What a world!!
शक्ति जो चेतन थी,
अब जड़ हो गयी है।
बचपन में जो कुंजी मेरे पास थी,
उम्र बढ़ते बढ़ते
वह कहीं खो गयी है।
