The unfortunate Indian!

Now this is not the name of a new book that I have read or a new movie I have seen. It simply says how unfortunate it is to be a citizen of this country these days! The no confidence motion is finally done with and the UPA has won the motion; losing the trust of the common man in the whole bargain. What else can one say considering the kind of horse trade, allegations, counter allegations and all those extremely repulsive stuff that happened at the Lok Sabha? Any self respecting citizen of the country would feel ashamed at the manner in which the ruling machinery functions within India!

As if all that was not enough, now we have the serial bomb blasts in Bangalore and Ahmedabad! With bombs being identified and diffused in Surat and parts of Rajasthan, things are getting worse day after day. Instead of bringing the culprit to book, the various political parties are still engaged in mud slinging each other, all of them equally shouting from roof tops saying this is the brain work of the opposing party to divert the attention of the media and the people from more pressing issues like inflation and price rise.

Whatever that be, there is only thing whose demand and price is deteriorating day by day and that is of the Indian Citizen. No matter what happens, it is finally the people of this country who have to suffer. There is no point in bringing this to the attention of anyone who matters- the only time they are concerned about people is when the elections are announced. All we can do is to pray sincerely to the almighty and live on in the hope that things may change as we progress!
