Day to day life.... this is my opinion and is nothing to do with anyone or hurt anyone.
At times I think I am a moron doing what? I have a job but I am not satisfied with my work, worried about my future. Struggling to go ahead and in fact it’s the same story… here and there everywhere I see people struggling to live and go ahead of everyone possible. Is this life? Do i want to live such a life, I don’t know….at times i feel if I get an opportunity to go in politics I should join any party and start my own politics .... just kidding i know i wont survive there for long.. at least with this job i will survive.
Same thing is going on in everyone’s life. Why do we need to get in to politics? (I am not saying don’t get into politics) It is in everyone’s blood, the instinct to survive. Everywhere you will see something or other happening. Whether its home or office. Everyone is involved in some or other situation where we use our mind to sort things out either by working towards it, in a defined standard manner or by manipulating trying not to hurt anyone and in case anyone gets hurt not to worry too much and move on. Why do we blame politicians for everything? Arvind Kejriwal is into politics as he felt only Anshan and dharna will not resolve the issues he is fighting for. Down the line it will fade so to get the work done he himself got into politics and is surviving.
People travelling in local train on daily basis also struggle to get into train, struggle to get a seat for themselves. Some of them come early and take an earlier train from the earlier station; for me they are like people with strong planning and strong desire to get the window seat or at least a third seat. They board the train from earlier station and get the seat, people who are not able to come early, they become a part of a group, this is also planning, they form a group, which is like a privilege services. Even if they come in late they will be offered a place to seat, these are privileged customers of Indian Railways, here I am not trying to criticize any one, in fact just observing the human behaviour, and everyone wants everything. Lastly people who do not fit into any of these categories are people with strong will who are ready to sacrifice even their life for that 9.01 train, they are even ready to board the train when there is no place to stand on the footboard, to achieve their goal (reaching their desired destination). People climb and sit on the roof top to be awarded with gallantry award as they die fighting the ultimate battle of life.
Above is the day to day activity for all us staying in Mumbai… nothing different , exceptions -people residing in south Mumbai and higher class this is applicable only to middle class people like us. I am not saying they don’t have issues they must be having larger issues than us.
Yesterday I was watching this interview of Rahul Gandhi v/s Arnab Goswami. Questions put forward by Arnab and the answers given by Rahul …… I don’t know what to say …. Here, also no straight forward answers .You can say diplomatic answers rather Googly and for everyone babaji ka thulu. My personal opinion is Rahul did his best of what he is meant to do. He tried his best to put forth his party and build image for himself which I believe didn’t go well and it was a flop show. I just can’t imagine the answers given by Rahul most of them were irrelevant to the questions asked. I sometime feel do these guys really care about such thing. Is Arnab really worried about the answers given by Rahul? Or Is Rahul going to go back and watch that video once again to analyze what is was blabbering. Ultimate truth according to me no one is bothered about what happened last night, you and I are not even in position to question Arnab and Rahul what did they get from the interview. Is this interview going to make difference in thinking of the people? At the most it will make some effect on our thinking.. let me remind you only METRO, LITTERATE people will think before they cast vote. This is my feeling.
What about the people who are staying in slums, near the railway tracks, who are surviving on daily wages, who don’t have their own house to stay, no place to sleep, no proper food, no basic facility, they are not bothered what is said on the T.V … they will decide when their needs are fulfilled by the local politician or local corporator belonging to a particular political party. They are not going to vote depending upon the debate or the interview. They will vote, only to the party who is able to fulfill their basic needs.
I am not saying that the interview was a total waste of time; it rather gave us some material to think before casting our valuable vote.
Coming back to our normal life again, everything, as of now for me, is dizzy as I am feeling sleepy and can’t think much. I hope I am able to pin down my thoughts for today.
Will continue writing… when I feel like.
