I am hesitating to write these days, something that has never happened till date, and its shocking because no matter the number of restrictions put on me writing has always been something I could do. I'm hoping this self-imposed gag will come to an end in the near future...others might be wondering..why did this silly nerd stop writing stuff..who reads it anyway? the thing is ..its practice for the near future where even us average iqed people may have to stop not just writing but thinking and having opinions as well in this country.
the events of the last few weeks have made it clear that most Indians are inevitable players in some sort of sick (BDSM/hunger games)with no safe words.
we are handcuffed by our own culture and religions, the key lost somewhere in our back pockets. Blinded and deafened by media, gagged on a rotting value system and half-clothed in some social media filter trending this month, tied to the post of rabid nationalism. All nice and ready to be whipped.
Is it too much of a visual..well we deserve it. Its the cost of having politicians who think they are gods but are not, its the cost of having leadership that is equivalent to a fish having wings or viagra in a corpse (completely useless and the second is very creepy). Its the cost of belonging to a country where people are brought up to be just as miserable as their parents.
It's a rude reminder to wake up, to shrug off that casual attitude towards the total lack of freedom of expression, to burst that bubble we put ourselves in and face the harsh truths that while we may tout ourselves to belong to a great nation, its as far apart from the truth as the distance between earth and Pluto.
Even jokes on the pathetic state of our nation are intolerable both literally as well as figuratively.
I end the rant wondering if the bottom of the barrel that we live in has even more false bottoms that are yet to be descended into? The song in my Shazam is perfect for this mood....its Everybody Knows by Sigrid..for non-nerds it's from the movie Justice League.
Ironic that a song from a comic fantasy movie describes reality better than reality itself....
With that, i take my leave..feel better and worse now. Next update will be lighter and funnier i hope...Au Revoir and Alvida (so that andh desh bhakts dont get triggered)
