The day looks quite sullen at work. My office people are mostly on leave because of New Year, Christmas and winter vacation. Their absence makes the office look like one of the deserted islands. Since morning, I have spent spades of time in the pantry…just sipping coffee, then soup and sometimes hot water.
They said the world will end in Dec 2012, nothing happened. I do not know whether to be happy about this or be sad. The year is definitely not ending at right time. It would have been okay if the world vanished and we never had to come across the heinous crimes committed by our own people. I thought so many times, there were so many arguments which raced in my heart and there is so much disgust for the mankind that is waiting to erupt from the volcano of my heart. This world is such a sickening place to be today…
The Indian brave heart passes away after going through so much pain and anguish. Her body suffered so many bruises, she survived so much abuse and yet she had the will to live. We, towards the end of every year, have so proudly been affirming and acknowledging the emancipation of women and the shoulder to shoulder growth of females. It seems this liberation has become the yoke around her neck.
I am not happy at the way I am seeing the dawn of 2013. I’m angry and disgusted, and in this rather restricted pallet it is impossible to instill hope. It usually takes one incident to galvanize people but now with the series of brutal acts – one more grisly than the other… I wonder how long it will take to gain sanity again. Probable never… maybe by now we have trained ourselves to shrug and take everything in our stride…
