The Water Bottle

            Probably the most abominable character in a human being is the attitude of looking at nothing but the fault in another. And in most of us the attitude is so developed that it has evolved into a skill. By sharpening your focus on ‘him’ and ‘her’ one turns a blind eye to their own flaws. And if your senses are not so sharp, no worries; by having gained knowledge of the wrongdoings of every other soul in the society, you are fully justified in saying, “He does worse things. When compared to that, there is absolutely nothing wrong in what I am doing…”

            Probably this is what makes preachers take austere measures. “Do not resort to violence”, says him. “Then why does our country have an army? Then why do we have weapons?” Now what kind of answer do you have for such idiotic questions? Yes, questions of equivalent idiocy are being raised in the attempt of defending or covering up a crime. A crime - including anything from watching a pirated movie to littering the streets. Add on to that the shameless dialogue, “When is our country going to become like Singapore or UK? Any idea how neat thing are in the US”.

            Such is the irony that lies ahead of our nation. All of us are hell bent on demanding our rights and pointing fingers. Politicians are the front runners in the game as the incumbent party blames the opposition and vice-versa. But wait, there are scenes more hilarious than that. When you want to see it, just look at yourselves blaming the politicians for everything that is wrong in the nation! Look at yourselves blaming those in power for blaming each other and not doing their job. Look at yourselves making claims over the hard earned tax-payers’ money, as we go about doing just about anything to get our hands on first opportunity of a tax break. “NO! Never!” you say? So you will say a no if I offer a 50K worth mobile for 40K. The ones without a guarantee or a bill…

            Such is the idiocy that has infected the nation that even your humble blogger has taken so much time and effort in making a shamelessly hypocritical jibe at his fellow citizens. I feel embarrassed.

            I am guilty of pointing fingers. I am also guilty of committing every other crime as aforementioned. But this voice does not merely scream in an attempt to pass on the blame. This is the voice that represents the hope of those who want to change the nation. I am not talking about those few hundreds who are desperate to create a revolution, but I speak to that part of the heart of every youngster in this nation of a billion who aspires for a revolution!

First they ignore you

Then they laugh at you

Then they fight you

And then you win

            So if you ever intend to drive a message to the world, a blog like this will never suffice. Neither will a thousand speeches or sermons or prayers or any of that. Go on a fast for a week and then people take notice, that is, they no longer ignore you and start laughing at you. Go a step further and they might fight you. What must you do to win? I don’t know… the question is wide open. But as a first step, you can stop pointing fingers.

            Oh, and by the way, why such a title you ask me? My friend tossed a water bottle into the river. And when I chided him for that he was quick to respond, “You were the one who bought the plastic bottle in the first place. Buying it bad enough, I just disposed it. You are at fault!”

P.S. Many Many Birthday Wishes to the person who made me as I am today. To the person who made me, literally actually! And not to mention, the person behind the signature of each blog, I have been reserving it in this post for the right moment, and here it is. "Bloody Blundaleomite" - Happy Birthday DAD!!!

        And a thousand wishes to that person to whom a part of my heart has been given on permanent lease and the monthly rentals couldn't be more irregular. Anyways, don't ever tell me you didn't get a birthday gift, this one is exclusive! Birthday Wishes Machaane!

Love
