Food, Clothing & Shelter

While rapes and molestation were happening day in and day out, across the nation, it took a brutal and inhuman rape of Nirbhaya in the national capital to awaken the nation from its slumber and take notice of an evil that we as a civilized nation had been living with for decades. Hope the tragic suicide of Gajendra Singh,  a hitherto unknown farmer from Dausa Rajasthan, in the midst of a political rally in the national capital has the same effect and loss of his precious life does not go in vain. Hope that we as a nation realize that more than those in the Forbes list who provide us with expressways, sprawling malls or upmarket townships, its the unknown, unsung and weathered down peasant who provides us with our daily nourishment, is more vital for our existence. Let us realize that without food, the other two basic necessities namely clothing and shelter carry no meaning whatsoever. Let us feel the pain of this nondescript peasant who ensures the food on our plate day after day. Let us stand up for his survival so that we as a nation survive. Let us understand our priorities and not allow Clothing & Shelter to overwhelm and eclipse Food.

Maine kuch nahi kiya.

Salman says that neither he was drunk nor was he driving and that he is being falsely implicated. Wonder why should he be falsely implicated inspite of his good Samaritan image and inspite of him Being Human. Or is it the case that an inbuilt sense of guilt of having mowed down fellow human beings in an inebriated state had triggered the streak of philanthropy? Same may have been the reason for the father and son duo having gone out of their way to keep NaMo in good humour since April 2014.
Whatever may be the outcome of this protracted high profile case, the universal truth is that - Salman ho ya chindi chor, pakde jaane par har insaan wahi bolta hain joh bachpan mein seekha tha - Maine kuch nahi kiya.
