The followers..!!!

I would like to believe in an innocent world . A world where things are fair, where dogs are cute, where people are generally nice and well meaning ...where workers are self motivated and capitalists are philanthropists. I would love to believe in a world which believes in love , where people fall in love and stay in love , where emotions are pure and clean...!! I would love to believe ..provided its real.

The fact is that this is not true. The world with all its jagged edges is not fair. Everyone realises it . But the most disgusting fact is that some people refuse to acknowledge it and continue to advertise and sell their concept of a pink pink strawberry world to the gullible lot who really dont mind getting mentally spoonfed. What makes the offer even more smelly is that these sales guy/girls are themselves a product of the real world and practice exact opposite of what they preach.

But the most dangerous people are not these salesmen..the most dangerous are the idiots who buy these ideas. They are the ones who make the world a jittery place. Since their conviction is based on borrowed ideas they stand stubborn in their claim to the originality of the idea. The will fight and die like insects for these on-rent ideas. Thats not so much for their conviction as much as it is for the recognition of their mundane lives.Assiociation with big ideas gives them a chance to be a part of a bigger chaos and grab their corner of limelight which would have never otherwise come their way. Its more of a psychological manifestation of severe underconfidance.

These are the people who form the lines of Indian Idol, of MTV Splitsvilla, of Shiv Sena, Raj Thakeray and Al qaeda...These are the devouts infront of shirdi sai baba, and these are the wannabes who roll their "R's" in anticipation of the american dream, these are the ones who wear their patriotism on their sleeves ....These are the PETA guys who never ever face a mad dog on the streets, these are the Narmada bachao party who never face the crunch of lack of development...These are people who perpetrate the exact disease they seek to cure.

These are the termites one should be aware and beware of...!!!
