Random bickering about India

So the last week had been packed news.

Two olympic medals is enough to keep us happy for four more years. We spoke of how the girl child should not be killed; apparently because they will win you medals! No, no, not because they are humans.

And then we celebrated how Shewag made Piers Morgan looks ridiculously stupid! Oh ya, the joke is on the British Media man.  The same Britain Morgan represents, came second behind us, four years ago in the commonwealth, that had made so much progress and had even over taken the mighty chinese in this olympics.

Oh yes, we did celebrate by calling Pakistan hell; and by making sedition charges on the person who opposed equating Pakistan to hell! Most who celebrated don't believe that hell exists. But, who cares! And by the way, meeting the prime minister of Pakistan on a surprise visit is Nationalism. Comparing Pakistan to hell is sedition! Plain and simple.

Then there was news that the movie Kabali by Rajnikanth was a failure and all the distributors of the movie had to face loss! Oh Yes, we fought on how had it been a 'Non dalit' director the movie would have got better reviews, and hence would have made more money.

And we joyously celebrated how the 56' chested Prime minster masterfully brought in the issue of Balochistan on his independence day speech and put Pakistan on the backfoot! Sure, it was a great move by the PM; Just that Kashmir at that time was burning. Doesn't matter!

And the reality dawned. When this man had to carry his wife's dead body on his shoulder for twelve Kilometers, while his daughter walked beside him crying all the way. The Ambulance was denied because he could not pay. The people on the road watched him go! Till he was helped by the Journalist, not before he video taped it and sent it around.

The reality called India is painful! More so, when we pack news with things unreal and fake!
