A Tryst with Nature

The sky was gloomy. There was smoke. The burning Telengana Issue and Rathore in the public gene smoking for sixteen years over Ruchika’s grave. Ranbir’s expectation on how his voice would romp ‘Anjaan a Anjaani’ or Chetan Bhagat’s disappointment over Raju Hirani’s decision are individual trailers all right in their place. Molecular version The Dhoom Dhamaaka of the Cal itcoming year will see more of what is happening now. We know. Yet we wait to see the right thing happening at the right time. If Lok Sabha Channel concentrated on Gender, Security and Food crisis Issues, it’s expected that Barkha Dut would focus more on Rahul Gandhi, Shashi Tharoor or Mamta Banerjee’s status. Controversies and political spam would once again find voice in the sensex issues and a cup of tea would do more than just discuss about Indo-South Korean Trade Pact. Barrack Obama must by now close chapters or rather attempt to with Vladimir Putin and global warming will rack scientist’s concerns over man’s inclination towards the usage of CNG gas or buying an E65 model or a Chevrolet Cruze. The market has hit high the householder’s daily margins and still there is hope to survive. Pelf and position still lies as the edifice for the 21st century crimes. Would that the signs of nature the reference column to the impending disasters en masse, swime flu could as well continued to kill. Here lies man’s ability to control! Where then is the brain? Less than 90% of the population is intrigued by the way a party works. Of course politicians will cry foul over civil disobedience or lack of support. But the darker side of politicians still continue and one marvels at the fiasco- tolerance when a Taj Hotel or an airport is under siege. Or when a strike strikes or a train gets derailed. A Kasab or Abu Salem is caught, the right wing of Al –Qaida is ripped off, yet there is no sign of peaceful negotiations. But India rocks! Even amidst such pandemonium India manages to set up a Solar Steam System in Shirdi, finalises India-Us three Hi-Tech Agreements, spent fuel reprocessing, constructing roads worth Rs 15,560 crores and many more. Managing bigger plans and implementing the right method has been the hallmark of some of the superbrains working in the cabinet but the right practice of implementing is left to the discretion of the labourer. Then the trail of malpractices in the go-between items find shape and real-estate owners or social activists drink to their satisfaction at having to see themselves in page 3. The journalists are a better lot. They see it all and they make it public, their life’s at stake. When impossible seem probable. Call it a farce, but an office-goer or a small time businessman will only give it a thought and munch his breakfast. Barring a few, one sees doctors and lawyers thriving in their on fields in their own ways and somehow acknowledging their life syndrome as the basis of all that would go to the publishers. A few godmen or health freaks will do more than just wait and watch. They see, they feel and then they do. But what if 40% of the mass gives in to the plastic ways of high-ranked officials and galore a their own individual existence, no matter how they may be? Impossible to connect the natural trust with disdained beliefs; but All is Well. People trust and get betrayed and justice goes with the mighty. ‘Compromise’ and ‘let go’ are current slogans raking the minds of the youth. They see and they find it difficult to figure out hat is what. The barrier within The media-hungry and media-crazy couch-potatoes are a different uncherished lot. They see poetry in a humming bird or a dew drop or the red blots in the canvas of an artist or their mind but they think that they think differently.They feel, they are done with whatever they can do. At least a model or a struggling actor is better for they rely on their strengths. A job seeker would forego hunger and thirst and read about ‘Great Indian Dream’ but the popular ‘MAD’ would never making the couch potato stand on his feet. It is impossible to resist inertia but it is. Nature is the witness The INS Arihant lunch was a success but why the necessity? An email threat would more than bring a smile in a sad heart just by triggering fear. Fake alerts would disturb the police department or the IB for a change. Racial Discrimination amidst ‘Universal Hug Contest’ would drain away a chap’s commitment to the society. But we are product of nature and it is natural for us to endure. Is it natural then to buy whatever is given even if it amounts to adding toxins in the body, mind and soul? Nature has seen it all and has sent signs. Time and again we’ve been warned to watch our words thoughts and actions. Better take a chance now, for a time may come when even our zodiac signs will cry foul.
