So close yet so far...

So close yet so far,
through the door ajar...

A little light is seeping,
opportunities are peeping...

I try to grab them with both my hands,
they slip through my fingers like dry sand...

Every single day,
to my dismay...

I try to make ends meet,
In the end am left with just tired feet...

Count your blessings is what they say,
Easier said than done in life's ballet...

I spread my arms and keep on waiting,
looking on with weary eyes...

For some blessings not in disguise,
for sunny mornings and deep blue skies...
for golden sunsets and full moonrise,
Listening to the sayings wise...

I spread my arms and keep on waiting,
looking on with weary eyes...

So close yet so far,
through the door ajar...

A tiny little light is seeping...

Problems of this Life is what I think...

Problems of this Life is what I think...
Staring at the ceiling without a blink...
All the hard work has gone down the drain...
Those long hours & weekend have gone in vain...
Money has become this life's marrow...
This race has made us shallow...

Problems of this Life is what I think...
Staring at the ceiling without a blink...
"Blue screen of death" is what I want...
No Work to do and all fun around...
Why should I work for a funny ass clown...
Why should I keep my expectations down...

Problems of this Life is what I think...
Staring at the ceiling without a blink...
EQ doesn't matter, nor do feelings...
In the end this leaves you squealing...
Like a swine... in a closed cage...
Who has to take the inhuman shot.. despite all the rage...

Problems of this Life is what I think...
Staring at the ceiling without a blink...

INDIA AS A STATE IS FAILING

We have rapists & murderers ruling us, sitting in the parliament & watching MMS.

And also watching MMS being puppeted by Madam Ji(Rahul Mata who is seeing dreams of becoming Bharat Mata).

United Progressive Alliance or should I say United Congressive Alliance(as I don't see any progress) in last two tenures have raped this country so much that even the horrendous case of 16-Dec-2012 (I am very sorry about drawing this comparison but sadly this is true) is nothing in comparison to what they are doing to this country.

The years 2011 & 2012 have been marred with Scams and so many of them that every other day there would be new scam on the so called NEWS channels(which are more interested in showing that they found out skeleton of Ravan rather then focussing on the Socio-Political-Econonmical problems of the country).

The four pillars of Democracy in this country are corrupt

1. Legislature (Parliament & State Assemblies, etc) – As mentioned earlier about scams, and MMS, we have elected goons and the conditions are worse in some of the state assemblies.
2. Executive (Government and Officials) – Well 99.99% are corrupt, your file will not move an inch if you dont pay bribes. From chaprasi to the highest official are looking for under the table income (well they get salary for just sitting on their lazy butts, after all everybody needs an extra something to move their muscles). And just so that I dont cross the line of sanity I will not talk about the so called MORAL(non-govt approved) & ACTUAL(govt approved) POLICE OFFICIALS.
3. Judiciary (Supreme Court, High Court & Other Judicial centres) – Ohh the JUSTICES & the JUDGES, I love them so much that I dont have even words to describe them. They are so scared(believe me the highet authority in the country are scared) that they won't even declare their assets. Man I can't stop laughing.
4. Media – The 24*7 GOOD FOR NOTHING MEDIA is more interested in minting the NEWS either by blackmailing the corrupt and the culprits or by showing the NEWS as masala(where all the impact of the problem is lost).

So there!! I have talked about the four pillars of democracy. NOW, lets come to the most important 5th pillar of a DEMOCRACY (as they say AAF the PEOPLE, FAAR the PEOPLE, BHYEEE the PEOPLE). So PEOPLE lets talk about PEOPLE or rather I should say Lets talk about US.

PEOPLE(including me as well) in India are like Sheeps without any brains in their heads they are led into calamity after calamity by the corrupt but HELL we hae survived 60 years we can still survive another 60(by then hopefully the world would have come to an end – a topic for another day).

We prefer a BOY child over a GIRL child(before & after birth – truly a very sad state of affairs this
).

Lets take an example :

A boy comes home at 10 PM in a highly inebriated state;

Mother – Beta thaali lagaoon? Tu theek to hai na? Bhook to nahin lagi;

Father – Arey SHER ka bacha hai thodi pee lee to kya hua; Ja beta tu so jaa kal saath baith ke peg maarenge

Brother – Aa bhai I will take you to your room

A GIRL comes home at 10 PM SOBER;

Mother – Karamjali kahan mooh kaala karwa rahi thi? Koi laaj sharam hai ki nahin?

Father – Poori scoiety/samaj/jaat waalon etc etc ke saamne hamari to naak hee kati jaa rahi hai

Brother – Aainda itni late aayi to taangein tod doonga SAMJHI!
Brother 2 – Who is still in a inebriated state starts abusing KITNA SHOR HO RAHA HAI KOI IS GHAR MAIN CHAIN SE SONE BHI NAHIN DETA!

If girls wear short cloths they are called indecent then what should we call MEN who still pee in public.

We prefer a Rs.100/- bribe over Rs.500/- challan but what can we do we never keep our documents complete while driving so giving a bribe seems the easy way out(which in the end is going to hurt us only).

So you see WE.THE PEOPLE are equally responsible for the sad state of this country, if we cannot change our mindset and leave behind our prejudices I don't know how many more DAMINIs will have to suffer. I don't know how many more scams we will have to see in the coming 60 years.

I am very SORRY about brightening your NEW YEAR 2013 Day with such GOOD NEWS :)

INDIA AS A STATE IS FAILING
