the boring unusual
today i would comment on something else and not the usual...
today i will talk about, boobs :D lol
okie okie, if you are a girl and if you feel like baying for my blood, then please wait for a moment. i really have something else on my mind, yes yes - other than b**bs
the farce that is going on all the news channels for last 2 days [major part of the weekend]. there is this 4-5 year old kid from some slum who are rescued from the bottom of this hole which was 55-60 feet deep after 50 hours with assistance from local laborers, villagers, the village panchayat, local police, army, all the 33 news channels [pardon me if i excluded some from this count], the cheif minister and his state cabinet plus his local political party activists and yes, not to forget 300 million indians who receive cable tv. when the boy was finally up in the arms of his folks, the honorable mr. cm too took the way out of his ordeal of sitting in the sun waiting for the penultimate success of the rescue mission waving to the cheering crowd for his invaluable contribution [of watching].
i just want to know why was everybody so interested in that kid when:-
* the village panchayat, or the villagers probably didn't know who the kid was and probably won't ever care in future until and unless national geographic post his pic on their cover [even then maybe it would be well 2 decades before anybody would re-discover him... to maybe let him be]
* local police, when they wouldn't give a damn if the cm's son would have run over half a dozen such slum dwelling kids
* the news channels, when they know there are hundred thousands, if not million such kids dying of hunger in some remote part in orissa
* cm [and the entourage], when they don't care a dime about millions such waiting in eternity for the roti that is very well safeguarded in his swiss accounts
maybe the army genuinely was...
but why am i wasting my blog space on this? maybe because it is free ;) but that is it, back to usual interesting news from next post onwards - the evergreen b**bs
:D:D

**i just want to know why was everybody so interested in that kid when:-
Thats human nature...when something as big as this media-attention-grabbing event happens, then that whole village gets the focus. It happens in any part of the world. Thats what happened with the 2 trapped miners in Aus few months ago. Not many have even heard of that town in Tasmania b4 that event. I guess thats how human curiosity and attention qualities work.
Just think abt it...why wud anyone b interested in that village if not for something like this? Thats just how the world works. Poverty-alleviation is a matter that the govt should handle in the long-term. It's not something that ppl wud be interested n day in n out or what the media will be focussing on on a daily basis.
I read abt this story on the news too. It's shocking and it's a great inspirational story we all can learn from too. I say such stories should be given more attention and media time than the war and bloodshed stories.

**"why wud anyone b interested"
yes why? the ordinary man has enough stress in his own life so why wud he have any interest in a village he never visited b4 or have roots in?
Burf it's the truth and the truth can be harsh. Were u interested in that village b4? Im sure u werent. Even if u were, we cant expect all the ppl to worry abt poverty all the time and we also cant expect ppl not to have a sudden interest in a village where such a tragedy happened.

fact is it was on the news and ppl did watch and feel for the child, detest the politicians, admire the army, curse the media for asking stupid ques...
...and keshi's quite clear in what she says and is right in what she says
...so are you! u may be sarci / cynical abt the whole thing but u do give sufficient reason to start a debate...diff ppl will have their own take on this...
as for me, I'm just happy for the lil boy...just wanted to see him out of that pit and with his family...

tnxx Ish! It's just that burfy cant take a difference of opinion..he just believes what he says is right and thats it. So what's the point in having a comment section then?
I give up.
