You can never defy two things: Nature and death. Absolute truth!
Isn’t it? Rather you should be
better prepared and equipped to tackle these calamities. After more than a week
people are still stranded at the sight. Isn’t it blow to NDMA? Why to make a
body if their job is just to give speeches? We wake up only when the damage has
already been done? Shouldn’t rescuing people be their top priority and they can
do the post mortem (politics) later? And like always finally we have to ask
army and they never ever disappoint us, they are the REAL heroes. Whether it is
Mumbai attack or this, they are the ones who never show the back!
Also this incident tells a
thing or two about us. I heard that locals were selling a bottle of water at rs
250 and a packet of glucose biscuit at rs 400. This tells that we Indians never
let any opportunity go away even in hardest times! Politicians also come from
the same society. Now you can very well understand what I intend to say here.
One more thing I would like
to say about journalists. While I respect their coverage (at times because of
them things/operation get expedited) but shouldn’t they be little sensible in
reporting? We do empathize with the bereaved family but there is no need to be
sensational all the time and talking with people who are in grief. This is not
the time to score points but to shave people that are still stranded at the
sight. You can also do your bit apart from reporting.
With little bit of interest
in politics I have understood that ki “Har cheej ke do pahlu hote: Congress
pahul and BJP pahlu”.
If tragedy happens in Chhatisgarh
Congress and BJP will have different view point and if it happens in
Uttaranachal, BJP and Congress will have different point of views! Let’s keep this
for some other time.
I really pray and hope that
those stuck in there are rescued and no more lives is taken.
