Is it all normal?

The last Saturday was a great day in my life. Ask why? Let me tell -------- For few hours I had to go around in busy dusty roads and knew lot about life. I was standing in middle of the road surrounded by traffic all around, this is common in Bangalore. But, contrarily to the big metal body vehicles, here it is all people, pushing carts, tempos, etc….. There was just utter chaos all the way. I was surprised for being the only one seeing it as chaos, everyone was going on as if all’s normal around. Is it all normal? Yes it is … is the answer everyone here gives. Dust all over, narrow roads, ill maintained drainage system, ear bursting noise of sellers selling and buyers making the best bargain, no place for one to walk through but let go speeding bikes, business men aged from 13 so on and on goes the list. This is life, their life, which thought me a lot.

By the way, didn’t say why I was there – was there to buy some T-shirts to be distributed to children of the orphanage our NGO is supporting on the official launching event of it's website.

I was afraid to go home!!!!

Last Thursday was the day which would be in my memories forever, It was so hurting. I was leaving to my home, Hyderabad and for the first time I was afraid to go. All this statehood fever has gone too much now. I got more than a 100 calls, from my near and dear, that day time to time updating me of the situation. I flip-flopped my decision to go or not a 1000 times, which finally ended with a result to go.

Was I going to a war hit area?

No, but that's what I felt for few movements. It's pathetic that all the people there are taken for granted to bear the burden of this hatred induced by few corrupt and selfish politicians carving for power, money.... Is this all meaningful, the representatives we elected spending thousands of crores of our money, playing resign and resign game. I don't know what's the solution for this statehood problem, but one thing I knew today is "Its not loving others which is tough, but hating is".
