Part Time Job

My younger cousin sarcastically said that Puttaparti Sai Baba never proclaimed himself as god, so why question his identity when that old man is struggling for his life. My intention was never to make fun of an old man on his death bed, but my only wish was that before he dies, let him see a new world.
May be an utopia.
I want him to see the rest of us, this one billion Indians who can have a home, health, internet, food, 3G mobile, clothing, cable television, car, income tax returns, movie tickets and positively peace. I wish none of us will have to see an another old man suddenly fasting for the country.
The reason why people all over the world suffer from injustice is because they just don't understand. This lack of understanding causes confusion. Even I don't understand many things.
I respect Anna Hazare for waking up our community from the coma of corruption. The whole nation feasted on his fasting, except for the real hungry and the starving...
I also liked when India won the cricket world cup. If you question me which lingers more in my mind, then you already know my answer. I clearly understand the world cup victory more than the movement on anti-corruption or the identity of a god-man.
I am neither a full time activist fighting for those one billion needy nor a diplomat to protect the rest of the greedy. I am just a part time sympathizer of my society.
The greatest tragedy for a society is to have sympathy.
When a legitimate advocate should very well know what is justice, why will he or she dispute with his colleague in the court of law, knowing which is the truth, who is correct? and what is right?
Every politician proclaims sincerity, promises reliability for the society and protection for the public. Then why do they have to contest with each other in elections? They should very well be knowing who is right & eligible for such a powerful position.
With great power, comes great responsibility.
We also live in the era of media where ethics take the back seat, sensationalism is the turning point of every incident and everything is a breaking news including the anti-corruption movement.
Recently The People's Republic of China has banned time travel. They think time travel 'casually make up myths, have monstrous and weird plots, use absurd tactics, and even promote feudalism, superstition, fatalism and reincarnation.' People of China and people of rest of the World will come to know about this communist decision at the same time. Communication has revolutionized the Internet, Telephone and Television along with the thought process of human beings. The response time of our emotions is as quick as we change the channel... and, as long as...
May be we are actually time traveling.
I am encircled by people who lie, cheat, bribe, gamble, drink & drive, break every possible law as per their convenience and also raise their voice for anti-corruption & anti government.
I am in a profession which supports black market and encourages black money, practice piracy, fake, unfaithful, manipulative, non punctual, unprofessional and in-disciplined.
I am a part of this everything for most of the above and/or a mere spectator for some of the above. Just like many of us, I am hanging in between...
Honestly... I live under the magic spell of dishonesty.
May be time travel is the only option left available to reach utopia.
