There is life and, there is death too. Somewhere life is getting shape in and somewhere , the best friend of life i.e the death is getting out the life.Budha is smiling as usual.And we are laughing ,always. Life and death dont matter.Is this ture?
Last Sunday I watched rang de basanti . The movie’s cinematography was excellent. The direction was equally good.All characters were well knitted and, everyone played his/her role not below the expectation,of course Ms. khan with angrezi mam was damn good (in look ).(Oye dnt forget apna amir, DJ in movie..).Every thing is good for everyone ,i think ,except for someone like me.It (movie) had strained me beyond my tenacity .It took time to recuperate myself .It had drained me out emotionally.It seemed storyline in later half had lost in the long closed tunnel which engulfed its joy, colours, warmth and, ofcourse ,someone like me.
I was interrupetd ,at the end ,by thinking about the killing of four boys in kashmir, just happened 2-3 days before.Are we moving towards that democracy where state has become so giant that it is not able to see its building block i.e.citizen? Is it conquering moksha where it can survive without providing life to its unit cell ? Vow, then it needs not care about sundry things like we, the citizens, and it will survive without them (?). Ok ,it has got eternity at last.The vast machinery of state is so organised ,in the name of democracy,that if some one moves out a little bit he wll be eliminated. Yes , my dear, truth is no longer your defence here.Beware ,this is democracy which protects your rights by preserving them in a well versed holy book and protection of the book is more important than life and deeath of citizens.
Wish i were the state so that i couldnt care for cells.Basic instincts working here !, how can a member differs from organisation ?..something wrong within ourself..we need to think about it. we shoudnt have the attitude of "who cares? "
Well , like me , some human being but privileged ,the great proponent of democracy , the great (?) Mr bush from the land of Lincon is coming here , the land of budha and gandhi ji. we should welcome him.shouldn't we?

the comments i got on its earlier version of my blog
arcane:mittal ... dost.... gud that you posted this thought provoking blog over here....but i have become thoughtless after reading this....
saurabh:He hehehehemittal n chaitu wil perhaps bring the best aspect of any democracy to fore here in this forum....healthy criticism keep me posted
m8al:Your concerns are understandable and in my opinion not entirely justiciable. For one, I do not agree that the concept of statehood has achieved eternity. No control structure can last forever its just in the nature of things. Democracy in India, inspite of many current deficiencies, is improving. I am not saying it is any where close what it should be but yes it is moving closer with every passing day, since the emergency. I see it happening and if you care to see beyond the junk news that the media keeps throwing at us, may be you will too.Your pessimism is unfortunate and unhealthy but not unwarranted. I'd look at the machinery of the state, as an engine which needs lubrication, new parts or may be an overhaul, and not as one which needs to be replaced. Our society has repeatedly put its members under the knife in the name of communal violence and the armed forces are but an extension of our society why should one expect them to be any different from the barbaric sword wielding mobs that we are? Change begins at the unit level. If your cells are healthy so are you and yes one is expected to keep his organs/cells healthy. But how is that possible when most of the cells are rotten and sick. How can you function when you are bed ridden?? The analogy to a considerable extent is applicable to the State and its cells - individuals as well. The stomach can't expect to be treated to good food if it is housing an ulcer can it? Why should we?
saurabh:Well Mittal,What u have brought out is a very true (n disturbing) picture of things in our so called democratic set up. Today it seems to be "autocracy with a human face" specially if we look at the grassroots level in the country. Things must be changed.From the point of view of a self-aware individual democracy only keeps him protected from gross violations of his personal freedom. Democracy never was n will never be a replacement or even an appendage to the perosnal quest of such a woman to the frontiers far away from the cacophony of a democratic society (if it ever may become a "society")
