B-Log

The one survival tactic one needs to survive in a country like India is perfecting the art of ignoring anything and everything.

We all have learnt to ignore men fertilizing any plant they can find on the street and often mistaking walls for plants. They’ve learnt to ignore the thousands of people walking by.
We ignore people living on meagre income and struggling for survival. They’ve learnt to ignore the luxuries of the cars passing by while they sleep on the pavement.
Most women have learnt to ignore that man staring at them while you wait around the bus stop. People around have also learnt to ignore their helplessness.
We have learnt to skip through the pages where they report crime and instead skip to page 3. The page 3 janta have learnt to ignore the reality of life.
Eventually you learn to ignore that you’re a human being who possesses free will… the power to bring a change! You end up becoming just another zombie walking around with a billion more like yourself.

We’ve really misinterpretted the real message behind Gandhiji’s 3 wise monkeys!
