Take a break !!

2008 was quite an eventful year... Both in good ways and bad ways. But certain events towards the end of the year have completely overshadowed what happened throughout the year. Obviously, we are all very angry and disgusted with the terrorist attacks and there has been no quarter in the world which has not condemned or commented on them. And the painful memories just refuse to go -- or should i say that they are not allowed to go!!!

The endless politician bashing, blame games, condemnations just refuse to end. I totally agree with the critics that there were loopholes, problems and what not. And strong will and action is needed. But this statement has been repeated endless times. Raj Thackeray did not carry on his propaganda during the attacks and all such stuff has become a cliche....Why I am saying this is because these days I read the same news everyday, even the same editorials and coulmns in the newspapers. And mind you some of them are prominent writers. Come on man, take a break. I doubt there would be any one in this country, infact the world who would not be aware of the events that happened. What is the point in printing the same thing everyday just to sensationalize the issue or fill pages. I have tried very hard to find something new in these columns which was not written in the previous posts but i failed.

Everyplace is filled with problems including our country. Nothing will change overnight. Steps are being taken and they need time to bear fruit. So instead of instigating people, give them something good to read, something to cheer about. Pain is best forgotten. The administrators need our support. One of my friends used to say "If you can't speak good, shut your mouth". I think that's a good advice to start with.
