Colors of Life

There are floods in Bihar. There was communal violence in Orissa recently. There were protest and agitations in West Bengal and J&K, some of which still continue. A secret letter in US made our media go humdrum. A guy (read Mr nanda) gets a jail term for a crime he commmitted almost 9 years ago. Media said its justice - "bhagwaan ke ghar mein andher nahin hai der hai.." bulshit it is not bhagwaan but our brilliant kingsize-lifestyle Judges and red tape. Please dont bring bhagwaan into all this. Oh! there was a sect of budhijeevi talking on the same lines.....
This is just a side of umpteen faces of life. And this is all Black.
Life is green and purple too. See the movies. See Big Boss. See Cricket. Go to facebook/orkut.

There is a big emotional color too and has a quick affect on human. Especially humans residing in India. Bihar floods is a great and latest example. Offices are donating salaries, NGOs have come up to help those who want a share sympathy (kind/materialistic) with the affected populations. Sadly our politicians still prefer aerial route to visit the areas. I still wonder how it possess a security threat and that how many times national leaders have gone to see a national disaster. Anyways you can not deny emotions in this country. A foreginer becomes emotional here and speaks out heart (read Gary Kirsten). Indians then prevent him from being so emotional.

I take pride in being little agnostic (dont want to be a atheist and a anatheist). Also it sounds zara hatke so.... But I wonder who manages all these colors in life and around. You are happy, you are sad, sometimes you want to cry becuase you are sad, and at times you cry because you are happy hmm.

Why I am writing all this? I just had a long day and I am all colorful, more on the darker side, more stressed and exhausted. The red is missing. I miss red.
