After the recent tiff at the parliament, it gives me great relief as a citizen of this highly saleable country to know that it is only this easy to buy off the people who apparently have been granted with the power to take decisions not just for one person or a group but for a country!
For meagre amounts of money people don't mind switching their votes, indirectly giving away their loyalties and the saddest part is accepting the fact that our integrity sells for so little that it is in the range of being bought.
Movies like Rang De Basanti inspire people for an instant and in the next its all back to black. Books like 1984 and also one of my favourite movies 'V for Vendetta' talk about the power that one person has, trying to portray an example of what that one man is capable of.
What we can we can afford to conclude at this point is, that either our government is too inspired by our movies or vice versa. Either ways we get to watch an entertaining scenario take place and get affected to some extent. When we go watch a good movie, we walk out inspired, when we watch our politicians getting bought off with crores flying around the parliamentary dome, we feel angry or something on similar terms. Both the situations evoke very strong feelings in different spheres, but last only momentarily.
Now that we know that the scenario is actually as fake and made up as it was imagined to be and framed in 35mm, we are now to refuse to accept it and will now find a way to live with it at peace.
So the bottom line remains what it was in 1949(what ever that year was known for), we now know that we have no say in the political scenario of our country....
voting is a farse...politicians are indeed what they have always been imagined to be - corrupt to the core....we will remain concerned till the time NDTV flashes it in our faces, and the moment the TV set goes off and the news print fades away.... our own little lives will continue as if nothing happened, ignorant of the bigger picture, and will smear our priority lists replacing it with the ever lasting illusion of 'everything will after all be ok'..
P.S. - Is ok...indeed ok?
Questions remains unchanged, answer remains unchanged. Part 1 - Act I'nfinite. 'The bitter yet sweet symphony of our own little microscopic country.'

True yaar...
For me the word politician has became a synonyms for untrust...
Yep.. politicians are always going to remain the same.. and after the drama which jus took place.. do v really wnt a bunch of morons running our own country?
from watever has happened over a past week...the definition of a politician has changed for..n m sure these politicians themselves kw wat r they doin wid their respective parties..
Politicians are like diapers. They both need changing regularly and for the same reason.
Hey...However we discuss about it or write about it..nothing is gonna change. Only going to change is "we and our perception". And to change it we (the youngsters) need to jump into this dirty poltical field.
When has ok ever been 'ok'!
It better not be OK!
True the movie is one of the true inspiring experiences but sadly such people dont understand the value and importance of their place to rule otherwise we can make it much better at much faster pace as a country . .
