On the edge

I am back! I know there are not many people who felt my absence in bloggers world, but still, I cannot not stop myself from exclaiming my return. There is a state of turmoil in the world. There are bomb blasts, communal violence, back-off on industrial projects, economic slowdown. low salary increments and monstrous inflation. Looks like we returning to some sort of dark age. I have not returned to make dark predictions about a world which is going to be doomed but last few months are giving the feeling that everything is just slipping out of hands.

Who is responsible for this ? We humans always curse a figure named god(or it is just a illusion) for our all woes. Everyone preach that his god is epitome of good and benevolence. Then suddenly, a sort of competition starts and people commit every known sin known in this world to prove(or force) that their god is the biggest(or more importantly, bigger than other gods ?) statue of goodness. It is a irony that despite all this, we human beings consider ourselves as most brainy children of mother nature. Well, some people plant bombs in cities and send mails to newspaper bragging about how they hold a whole country at ransom. It is a pity most of these guys belongs to a banned organization that has word student in its name. Alas! what education has done to these guys. Education has made them realize that they and their god is disrespected in this country and they are licenced by their god to punish the offenders. Some other guys are involved in mob terrorism because they feel that they have every right to kill someone who is trying to implement 'switching over to new god'. hmmmmmm...........I don't know how come these guys have time for all this bullshit.

If this all is not enough, there is economic slowdown world over. This is just an indication why today world is considered a small village. Falling of stocks in Wall street is creation great ripples in India. every news article with news of large layoffs and cost cutting is adding to blood pressure of IT and MBA professionals in India. Well, what is most noticeable here is ruthlessness of big corporates to defend themselves. These guys at top management level take faulty decisions. The guys at lowest level just implement those policies. But still, these managers generally get their dues. Even they plan their future in other corporates and keep their employees in dark about what is going to hit them. Always employees at the lowest level have to pay. They are first ones to be booted out as burden and useless. The freshers who join their first venture with high hopes and a burning desire to prove themselves overnight turns into bitter and heart-broken individuals. The anger is quite easy to be channeled as hatred and mistrust for whole soceity to turn them into sociopath. In India, it is common phenomena. Every mass recruiter here has incompetent managers who do not have full knowledge about existing process in the organization, leave aside new ideas. These irresponsible organizations allow these irresponsible people to handle affairs irresponsibly to ruin the career of new entrants in corporate world who can win the world, if given a chance.


So, is there any ray of hope ? It is very necessary to find solutions. Being from typical Indian middle class family, I am not going to put forward a solution. I will just selfishly and cowardily try to ignore the problem until it start to hit me without realising that every denial is pushing me towards a wall. There are two options. Either educated middle-class of India come out of it comfort zone of shopping malls and multiplexes and defying all fears and hesitations. take the rein of country in its hand or allow someone like Hitler to rise and capitalise on mass discontent prevailing among large section of our society. Like me, we all have choice. Act in time or wait in silence for inevitable to happen.
