Oh yes that is so true. We are all so united and so bonded that it is becoming creepy. And one would be thinking what in the world is this person saying. All we hear around is that we NEED to be united and be together and yet there is a shout aloud that we are ONE Nation so united…
Its true my friends its true. We are One United Nation. Ok let me be more explicit. Have you commuted through bike, or car today to come to office or drop you kid to school… YES.. hmmmm.?????? had a Sweet cup of tea or coffee in the morning for you breakfast ..YES.. hmmm. See that’s what I meant we are one nation … The Government is increasing the prices of Petrol and we are not going to quit using it. Not a single person saying that we will travel on anything not using petrol. That my way of protest. Simple quite polite , yet a marking statement… but no this is actually not happening so I guess we are supporting the Government and we are UNITED ad one true follower of the LEADER..
The sugar price is Rs. 100per kg and will still have sweet tea, milk, Mithai, bakery, u name it anything sweet… bring it on… why quit sugar and tell the Government we are against this non realistic up rise of prices.. no way.. I might think of going out on the roads, breaking some personal and/or government property burning few of them either but not quit using the products like sugar or patrol. This would be so silent protest who would notice… n then who cares. All my budget is upset, my grocery shopping will increase but will I actually look into the bill and see what’s the price of sugar bag or other sugar containing products. I guess not. I might go up to my boss and complain about being under paid and over worked. Come home and be grouchy that now I have to buy this and not that.. and that’s about it.
Yesterday in quite a high profile meeting with few of my office colleagues, a very senior (in grade) person said if one politician had said I quite using petrol after this recent price hike, by God I would have seconded his decision and go out on street and protest…. But I kept on thinking would that really happen. May be not. As the person is still using his office maintained car and probably forgotten what he had said yesterday. Isn’t that what we all do? We do realize that what is happening is not fair. But we keep on absorbing and adjusting ourselves with things. Let it be increase in patrol price, 2% increase in electricity tariff, sugar price or Rs. 100 per kg of any behcari vegetable… so aren’t we truly and absolutely ONE Nation, bonded together in bond. One side is pressing so hard as to get the max out of it. And the other side getting pressed so hard to give the max and also live with it.
Dead or alive we are one nation…
