The Strange Rise of Modern India


It was some 5PM and surya devta was at its best .. everybody was just glued to their TV sets, with their AC switched on to the minimum temperature .. the IPL fever is almost over, after a stupendous performance by last year;s "last rankers", the Deccan Chargers .. (Well, KKR would be too excited for IPL-3, 2010 .. thinking off that "last rankers" can really make it large in the subsequent editions .. jokes apart, KKR .. ask your players to compete with Jamshedpur's Jamoore (fiction !!) and, if you win .. then come for IPL tourney)

OMG!! everything has been messed up . . anyways, IPL fever is almost over .. many TV channels are trying to woo the audience by featuring new programs/reality shows/world premiers . . . but, hard luck they can't beat "our" all time favorites "news channels" .. yea, the same channels which are making us aware of "the minister's dog has been found" .. "AB ko thand lagi" .. "where are the cows, are they eaten up by aliens" and many more "breaking news" .. but, that day they showed something very peculiar .. ohh, wat happened ekdum se in Punjab .. was my reaction, when I saw people buring down the trains, buses to ashes .. Is another Godhra coming up .. ?? well, no Godhra, but still what happened? then I came to know to know that some baba ji has been shot in Vienna, Austria .. and this whole drama is taking place in Punjab .. well, If turning down the buses and trains to ashes is going to get their saint back to normal life .. I plead to didi (o wow !! yea Mamata) to order and get some hundereds of extra coaches manufactured .. so that, no body is going to hell (O I mean heaven !!)

breakk ...

Why am I talking about this . .?

I'm worried about the Strange Rise of Modern India .. Obviously, we are progressing but are we really progressing is what I'm worried about ..

Mayawati, sacking 100s of Civil Servants ..because she lost the elections ...

Ganda khel of Politics .. Ministers taking no time to blame each other ..

still, babu giri in sarkari offices ..

and, many more instances are there .. because of which, I'm worried of India's rise in 2020 ..
