The Grand Fall


While the rupee falls, values all around us have already fallen to unrecoverable lows. Atleast there is some hope for the economy to recover, if not now then sometime later. But will we recover, ever?
The holy men caught in unholy acts. In the name of who, I wonder! When caught in the act, these spiritually uplifted men have no qualms in victimizing the victim. In this world, when the traffic makes it so difficult to be on time, how can we expect God to find us on time?
Rape seems to be a favourite sport of the nation with no age limit. From the old to the young, it seems whoever is bored and wants some media glare, goes ahead and commits a gang-rape. Guess the Dark Ages where less dark for the fairer sex than this!
Relationships don’t last and we seem to move on too fast, faster than our city’s metro. The funniest thing, is those in a relationship are looking for opportunities to be free. And the singles are desperate to tie themselves down. What we fail to understand is that nothing comes for free. From the effort to pursue, to depreciating bank balance-first to impress, later to depress leaves most frequenting the counseling sessions.
Cuts in every form rules our days. Job-cuts, cost-cuts, budget-cuts, power-cuts, water-cuts, road-cuts…but what about the morality cuts? The feeling of deriving pleasure from the cuts of others and being oblivious to their pains, so much so that we drive away seeing the bleeding wounds of a fellow traveler just because our time is too precious than their survival time.
It is time we at least give a thought to the value-fall, maybe not as much as the rupee-fall but some thought to begin.
