Brats of politics


Its sad to know that I live in a country where the safety of common man is ignored, but that every tom, dick and harry associated with Govt. of India is given prime importance. Yes, and with that I truly mean Tom, Dick and Harrys who are nothing but a mere distant contact of some bloody politician.

I was shocked to see this sick display of power yesterday that I felt ashamed of the leaders of this country. Me and G were going shopping and suddenly we were stopped by 3 policemen at a crossing. It so happened that traffic from all four sides was stopped by about 25-30 policemen and many PCR vans were shooting across the roads to ensure that no one barged in. Obviously we assumed that some damn politician must have come to the nearby mall and therefore the security. Ya, security of one person, at the risk of million others.

Anyways, it so happened that it wasn't a politician, but some kids of a politician in a beacon car for whom the luxury of clearing the roads was provided. I mean what the hell. They must be kids of some MP or whatever shit, but just for them a million people were held back at peak office hours...ridiculous. Also, why do they get the luxury of clear roads when the common man is struggling to get home at every second. They should also experience what is it to get stuck in an hour long jam. They should also feel how exhausting is it to wait in the long queue of cars. What makes them so special anyway to get away with all this. What have they done for us, that we have to wait for their motorcades to proceed without any hurdles. Its a shame that where thousands of children are homeless and do not even have bare necessities, the kids of politicians have luxuries that they don't even deserve.

Absolutely ridiculous!
