Every other day, you listen to politicians giving off statements (they think we elected them for want of people who give away rubbish talk left, right and centre) and one particular sentence is what irks me the most. Every time there are terror strikes, this is ALL we hear from every politician... ".... these strikes are clearly the acts of cowardice by anti-national extremist elements and I strongly condemn these acts of atrocities...."
ACTS OF COWARDICE???!!!!??? wtf! How can something which was so bold and well planned and which was executed with such efficiency ( that perfection should actually put our successive govt's to shame...they never implemented a single useful law with such finesse) be termed an act of cowardice? Wake up, dear leaders! It is indeed the result of your vote-bank politics...your vile dog-whistle-kind of politics ( just like how dogs make a high pitched sound to intended audience, you use a peculiar language of your own to achieve your ends)...if anything, yours are acts of cowardice: you can't stand up on any one issue strongly. Not on reservation, not on education, not on atrocities against women and children, not on child labor, not on animal protection....the list would go on and on! The real anti-national extremist elements are you dear leaders! You with your flawed assumptions about power and the people who give you that. You are actually perpetuating a more henious crime than those people who are venting their ire by these so called "terror strikes". You are actually following the "divide and rule" policy..won't say it din't work..it did, but with disastrous results as was proved in 1947. You want to please all the communities , men and women at the same time...or atleast you work under that guise...what you have acheived by being smarmily dupicitous on the outside, meanwhile jabbing hard at people's asses is India as it is in front of your eyes. Goverment blaming the people and vice-versa. Everybody says they have a solution, while the problem still persists. You want to project India as a democracy...while everywhere we (people) see, it is actually a clique whcih rules us; it is a democracy as long as we agree with it's policies. It is precisely the insecurities of this clique as a whole which forces it to resort to such unabashed policies. This makes you more cowards than those people who resort to terror strikes.
I do not mean to support these attacks or say that they echo the sentiments of people; rather I mean to say the problem lies both in the whistle and the people whom it is not meant for.
P.S: I have a right to hold my own judgement.

Optimism is just an other word for pretense. Only, this time around, you pretend to be a fool ; but that doesn't mean you come out feeling any more wiser than you would be if you were dr.skeptismo in the first place.You then realize you are a lot more foolish than when you allowed yourself to be optimistic and got lost in the myriad possibilities it offers.Optimism works on the central premise that reality is negotiable when instant gratification is far more appealing than accepting the reality. When you stop pretending, you can't accept yourself anymore.

what more can you ask for?
Hail the season of movie extravaganza! It's a battle for honor among equals. You've got Drona, Kidnap and Karzzzz (with all dose extra zzzzzz's...it totally getzzzzzz u). Suit yourself-u've got a brooder, a chocolate boy sayin "hell is here, ain't it" (or somehting like that) and a guy who has got a hair transplant and is reborn--just to entertain you! ( [:(] ) While each is busy givin' off press statements that his movie is the "best", "an epic" , all we have to do is to pray for another sting operation on one of our politicians or another pre-polls bonanza or a mysterious murder to hit the headlines and give bollywood a respite from limelight (for dishing out such great movies). Gudluck and have fun.
