Love is in the air. But in our present times, love has a restricted entry only on a particular day. The market is buzzing with greeting cards, gifts, chocolates, flowers and even personalized items to get soaked in this fever of love. And whenever we think of love, heartaches are complimentary.
Relationships have gone complicated but it still hurts:
• When you see the rich going on a shopping carnival at the cost of depriving the ones who work for them. Ditto a famous industrialist who recently rolled out a whooping amount to shop a Cricketer for an upcoming cricketing tournament. While his employees are running from pillar to post to make him pay their wages.
• When you read a new born baby of few days dumped on a garbage bin or in public transport by a family member just because it is a “girl”.
• When a toddler is raped by no stranger but someone she knows and depends upon. She is too young to even realize her pain but the perpetrator is well-prepared and planned.
• When a tribal woman is punished for falling in love to an extent that suddenly the entire village men gets the license to enjoy her. Sadly, they are her own people and the torture is carried to such greater lengths that she has lost all account of how many times they violated her.
• When a young life was wasted just because he belonged to the North-East and looked different from the region he migrated to gain education. And mind you, it wasn’t even a different country.
• When political parties are busy washing their dirty linens in public, accusing each other and giving us no reason to hope for better.
• When a veteran artist awarded with Padma Vibhusan has to plea for years, without any success, to find a home where she can spend the rest of her life.
• When a brave soldier gives the ultimate sacrifice and his family has to do the rounds with the influencers to keep their lamps burning.
• When the talented have to leave the country to make a mark in the world. We have the best brains but still face the problem of brain-drains.
• When a life is lost and nobody even gets to know until nature’s law starts spreading the decomposed smell. Sometimes, even the neighbour’s have nothing to divulge, not even a name at times.
• When many precious lives are lost on roads failing timely assistance by the passers-by due to fear of law enforcer’s harassment resulting in delayed medical attention.
