It has already gaan to the daags....!

I wouldn't say that sitting here, close to 8000 miles from home, it's justified to comment on the latest happenings of the city or state. However, the miracle of the internet gives us such interesting news bits to feed on that it's almost impossible to resist having a strong opinion on things....

Especially when we have our carefully selected and appointed ministers of state and their compatriots in the opposition indulging in atrocities so atrocious, that all that comes out of the readers' mind is an inaudible guffaw. Like their recent drama of luncheons and siesta in the assembly, all done to try and 'ably' oppose the illegal mining in Bellary. Iron ore illegally being mined by people who funded the propelled the current CM to victory. By doing so, they not only assured that they could carry on with more vigour than ever their despicable illegal activities, but also gained immunity from legal action as long as... well, for eternity. Coz once Yeddy steps down, there is no dearth of other buffoons we would readily elect as the next CM.

And it is quite obvious that the opposition has opposed in such an 'honourable' manner out of sheer jealousy. Given a chance, they would turn a blind eye to all the illegal mining if they were the ruling party since it would obviously provide to them a seriously brilliant way of making enough money for 10 subsequent generations to live life king-size. Either ways, it isn't going to provide any respite for the locals of Bellary who will assuredly develop serious respiratory problems due to the enormous amounts of iron ore they are inhaling.

You know how we used to hear the elders earlier say, "The country is going to the daags**...". I think the time has come to not use a past tense in that statement any more. The country has already gone to the daags... No, really. There's photographic evidence, as can be seen and read on the following link... And while you're there, do click in the 'slideshow' link on the bottom right corner of the picture.

My first reaction to this was "Whaaaaaaaaaat.........?! Are you serious??" It's especially funny when the opposition leader is said to have denied eating inside the Assembly. The mutton biryani, which probably came from the Taj or some place like that was eaten in the lobby man! And where do you expect them to cool their empty heads off? On the lawn? Have a heart....! It's only justified that they sleep on the Assembly floor!

It's all such a bloody mess, isn't it... The kinda world we'll inroduce our kids to. We will teach lessons of honesty and then turn on the tv to hear of a stupid money scam that people will always, unfailingly invest in despite having heard of a million and more of such scams. We will teach lessons of integrity to children and then read about corruption. We will teach discipline and then show people breaking traffic signals and causing traffic mayhem. It's a life of contradictions....

** The word 'daags' was used instead of the word dogs to not offend the canine species. It's just unfair that we always use their name while talking of politicians. Save their grace people... The dogs' that is...
