Indian Of The Year...

In the morning, that is late sunday morning, i happened to read Shobhaa De's article in Times...which described the India-Pakistan relations in a lay man's language. Very sarcastically she has written how the "kuttas" of a neighbour are pooping in her flat while her own "kuttas" are fast asleep! And also how a common friend has also failed to solve this problem of hers of restricting her neighbour's dogs from crapping in her beloved home...the neighbour's dogs poop while her own and she herself are fast asleep in her apartment...how aptly this article summarises the pathetic condition of our homeland...just after this,on sunday afternoon i happened to watch "indian of the year" which was aired on CNN-IBN, and i saw how so many people who have made their motherland proud win accolades for their sacrifices...but the point is how many of these "indians of the years" do we have to host who have been badly scarred by the neighbour's "kuttas"? how many indians will we have to sacrifice for some dogs and why?..."indian of the year" also prompted me to think about the slumdogs...the slumdogs who are still slum people but the one who hacve enacted then have no doubt become millionaires..! how proudly we invite the 'goras',show them the 'real' india and they make films out of it...win oscars...become millionaires,a job well done!!
proud or ashamed...is the real question we ask ourselsevs...one dog gives us oscars..the other nominations for "indian of the year", but we fail to realise that by doing this, the dogs continue to poop while we sleep...
