I am updating this page after a long long time
I have suddenly felt the urge to express myself.The recent events which the media, as it is wont,, has blown out of proportion on the Lokpal or Jokepal call it what you may. I am not taking sides nor am I giving my take on these. To be honest I don't give two hoots.
One i.e. the government is set out to save its turf and all all its corrupt folk, the other set a la UPA - parallel government with folk who are not(e) corrupt. Actually there not much to choose from between the two except the anarchy they will unleash.
In this “ghor kaliyug”there is no such thing as right or wrong, truth and falsehood, god and Satan. There is only one thing “information”!!
Regular blitzkrieg of information from all sides, internet, television, print media and radio. Not to forget the self styled experts who are visible everywhere. Yesterday on TimesNow [or was it NDTV,it cant have been India TV coz they would’ve done a programme on doomsday and ramdev baba the saviour stuff] I saw six panellists who spoke about everything else but the issue at hand. It was for me not a panel discussion but a walk in the fish market – the sheer cacophony of their blabbering.
The information age is not about good or evil but all about how you lead or mislead people. There are media men and lawyers running this Lok-JokePal show from both sides. Both are master at using the power of the written-spoken word to hide facts and create confusion.
Everyone other person is speaking about the bill but does anyone really know WTF it is about!!
The corruption may be tackled and perhaps put to an end [no its not going anywhere, just hypothetical!] I have a question to both GOI and Hazare team, what about corrupting the mind with all this misinformation!! Who is responsible for this??
