Whats Going On ???

Yeah, thats what people like me have been asking .I am talking about the hatch-patch going on in the world . For example, a Gandhian protesting against ‘Khadi Gramodyog Shops’ for selling sex realted products , Vatican calling Harry  a wrong kind of hero and a muslim worker in a retail shop  refusing to touch Bible. You need to think about  the first two instances , I agree. But what about the last one ? I mean whats wrong in touching a book of another religion. If you dont know about this instance , let me brief it to you . A costumer at Leadley high street retail shop , Marks Spencer , was humiliated ehile paying off for The First Bible Storiesfor her young grandson. She said the women behind the till refused to touch the book once she realised what it was and made a reference to a fellow worker about something being “unclean”.

- Now what do you think of this pig of attitude ?? Well , I say  childish. Idiotic. Why cant you touch a Bible even if you are a muslim?

- Now that was an individual and immature thinking . But what about an organisation saying something that even a child considers to be immature?According to Vatican , the fictitious ‘Harry Potter’ is a wrong kind of hero who poses a danger to children across the world . I agree to the point made by the reporter of PII. She says ” The boy is orphaned when he’s a year old. He grows up with people who hate him. A psychotic but powerful man is out to kill him . And yet the boy choses good over evil . Always. What else do they seek in a right sort of hero?”

- Another instance is  related Gandhian fundamentalism. Its not that Gandhian fundamentalism is criticised here , but the followers . There is this Khadi Gramodyog [ Khadi- a fabric, Gram-village, udyog- industry]shop selling a  herbal sex tonic. And there is this Gandhian who sat on a dharna because he thinks this is an insult of Mahatma.How childish one could get? Who said Mahata  Gandhi was againsta sex? He himself had children . He was against violence.He was against injustice. Whenever there is a news on violence taking place across the country, we see no Gandhian protesting and asking for justice. It seems that theyhave plenty of time to spare but do not want to employ to some reasonable cause. I once more agree to the writer of this article in a news paper, Mr Kay Rahgaed, who says ” In an age when poisons in form of cigarates , tobacco , liqour are selling in every corner of the street , a herbal sexual enhancer at Kadi shops shouldnt pinch Gandhians. Gandhi wouldnt have minded.” I agree. Do you??

 -I only have one thing to say,” Start using your brain instead of ears and eyes to follow others  . Ask questions , dont just listen to every dork . You are grown ups now.”
