The Potholed Highway To Delirium

                                                Well I'm back ! Against all my reasoning, i cant seem to hold it in any more. Although i recognise the futility of my following rant, having written it here will give me some semblance of gratification ( hopefully). Now, any and all patriotic Indians may leave ( or read and then post abusive comments ) because what follows is my version of a pinprick to the bubble of ignorance that we are cocooned inside.

                                Here we are, in the 21st century with empowerment and eradication slogans plastered on all walls. Those which are not covered with paan stains or illegal hoardings that is. Not much has changed since the British left though. Then, we were ruled by an iron fist, while our country was plundered by posh silver tongues. Now, we are deluded into freedom, blinded & manipulated, while we are plundered on a far massive scale, by paan spitting, hooch guzzling, illiterate rowdies for whom money and power are the absolute aphrodisiacs. Scams are unearthed more frequently than bodies in a German mass grave. The British may even be humiliated by the amount of money our own people ( Serious grinds my gears :@. What goddamn own people ?) have siphoned off in the last 50 years which they couldnt accomplish in 400.

                                      The judicial system, formed to function well in the 1950s era, has since been left unsupervised, and due to the overall decadence in society, has become a thriving mound of avarice.The policemen, once considered as the law keepers that keep society from spiralling into conflict, now exemplify lethargy and nepotism, and for good measure.

                                What was once considered indecent, is now sadly considered hip and supposedly denotes your social status. Humility and grace, once considered traits of a  lady, are now as common as a non corrupt government official. They have now been replaced by sassiness, vulgarity and egos.

                                 Men, once supposed to be confident, secure and family oriented, have gotten seriously.... screwed up (Trying to keep it PG-13 :P)  somewhere. To prove their dominance in our already oh-so-patriarchal testosterone fuelled redneck society, have resorted to physical and sexual violence towards the fairer sex. The Delhi Gang rape Case was supposed to be a eye opener but if anything, the number of women admitting being assaulted has only increased. So much so, that everyday, there is at least one incidence reported even today. Women, are no longer safe, from their husbands, even from their fathers ( Refer Mumbai Mirror Issue Dated 6 November 2013). So much for free will and "REAL MEN DON'T RAPE " slogans eh ?

                                 The people meant to govern us, and the country are nothing but hoity toity buffoons trying to restrain free will by proclaiming their supposed exploits all the while demeaning their rivals.The rivals reply in kind by stewing the same old stories of wars, conflicts, riots and debauchery over and over again. News is not reported, but created to suit a "benefactor". While this chaos ensues, the common man is left without representation on the global scale. The whole world progresses, while we remain in petty squabbles highlighting our materialistic mindsets and our streaks of misery and our immeasurable God-Complex . If through all this mayhem, a person does leave the country ( only to have a decent life and to quench his ambitions ), they are branded as traitors and are patronized. Why, I ask, is it of any consequence to society what a person is or does ? In a true sense, secularity and democracy should allow people to be their own men ( or women. I do not endorse sexism, racism or any form of shallow mindedness ).

                        I quote Darwin" Survival of the fittest ".

Well, we already have dominated everything on the face of the Earth and beyond. Where, I ask, does it stop ? Before, or after its too late to stop the inferno of greed, apathy and lust consuming us inside out day in and day out.

P.S. Hope you enjoyed diwali, burst crackers furthur endangering the children in the factories and yet again I hope you ignored the plight of the less fortunate and didnt help them out as a gesture of goodwill because that would be blasphemous.

P.S 2 ( :| ) In case you find a stark contrast between this and my earlier posts, I stand by what i say. Please feel free to comment and tell me what you think.
