who should be ashamed???
exactly two days back we were all glued our television sets waiting for the verdict on the nuclear deal and whether the UPA would survive the trust vote."the trust vote." little did we know about the sad images we were going to see..those images will probably go down to be remebered forever..three BJP members all of a sudden show these big bundles of notes alledging that they were bribed by the congress and by amar singh of the SP to vote in favour of the government and what a big favour they have done by bringing this money and "exposing" this. within seconds we had all the news channels broadcasting this "breaking news."they said stuff like what a shame and how this has affected the parliaments image and all.. as if the indian parliament was some pure and holy place which had never been dirtied in this fashion.the whole parliament is filled with people who are well criminals and people who are facing various false charges aginst them. i was more curious to know what happened to all that money after they showed it and what on earth happened to the security system where such large amount of money is generally not allowed..
then after about half an hour the prime minister had to give his speech. the opposition did not allow him to speak at all. like they knew about what the nuclear deal was exactly about and how it affects our country..
then after sometime finally the trust vote was carried out and out of the total 504 MPs only 487 managed to vote!! i mean what happened to the rest of them?? apparently they did not know how to use the voting machine!! i mean india with a population of 1 billion votes with only electronic machines and these people who are suppoesed to be the voice of the nation were not able to do such a simple task and then their votes had to be counted by using the old fashioned way of writing in slips and passing it around!! well after all this drama the manmohan singh government won the trust vote by a small but descisive margin.immediately the news channels said stuff like "singh is king!!" talk about being creative..
well we all saw this and some of did even bother to think about it for sometime.well did any of us even try to get to know what this whole deal is?? i mean we are supposed to be the "youth"..but sadly no one is interested.. for they have lost hope.. an then they sit there and blame the government.. an how the government should be ashamed of its acts blah blah..well all of us are good at this arent we?? but who is it that needs to be ashamed? think about it?? some of us may say that we dont care about the deal.. it really does not affect us directly does it?? whatever be it.. we all forget the common man.. yaeah many books and soaps are based on the lives of the aam aadmi or the common man but hold on what has it done for the commmon man??? we all know the answer.. nothing.. let us all hope that someday things will change.. and we should be a part of the change.. if we do not do anything about it now then we have right to blame other people.. let us atleast start by tryingto figure out what the deal is anyway.. i no its too late but atleast make an attempt and then probably try to figure out who to vote for in the general elections next year may 2009.. i hope by then we all will vote for a change or atleast get our voter i.ds..and for god sake lets vote whether the person standing is bad or worse.. atleast lets make start by choosing the bad over the worse..

    Hey Uzma, I'm really lost when it comes to politics. And I'd love for you to continue because I'm trying to read about it.
    Anyway, i think you should just read and revise as we discussed in class the other day.I think you should write more.
