Cant adjust anymore....

“Adjustment”… This particular word has been a part of my life since childhood. Being a part of the megacity called mumbai and a member of a middle class family adjustment is taught since childhood.
But when we talk of adjustment for life and security it is surely not acceptable.
From child hood we have adjusted to bad roads, over increasing population, lack of basic facilities like water supply , lack of personal space to live and perhaps many more such things. It was still adjustable to live with these inhuman conditions of lifestyle till date but when we are imposed to adjust for our lives it is purely a matter of sheer disgrace. Security and safety is what each one of us pays to the government for, ministers who roam around in mega securities and spend crores of rupess on just securing their brains seem to be the most helpless and useless people in such a situation.
The so called to be decision makers are not elected to just merely give interviews to press about their oppositions mistakes or what their opposition did some x number of years. We elect leaders to make decisions on behalf of us, to take responsibility of us and provide us with minimum basics of safety and protection. If you are unable to protect us then why have civilized socities, give each one of us our ammunition and we will protect ourselves.
What seems to be a real mockery of reality is that we all see that our politicians are corrupt we all know publically that each one of them has walked their way up to get focus of attention and earn the maximum money of his life, but still we all have to live in a democracy and live by it, still we have to elect one leader even if all of them are equally corrupted.
I remember the last time I went out to vote, I had the question in mind we know all of them are corrupt and we know none of them is genuinely interested in a change, but then what we as helpless citizens of the nation do is judge each one of these corrupt brandnames to see who is the lesser corrupt at that particular instance. We adjust according to our most important of our rights, the right to vote. Do we have an option then?
As a mumbaite it was not just shocking for me to see another terrorist attack on mumbai, no I wasn’t shocked becoz its not new we have been living in such conditions since a long time. However what shocked me was the way few people with ammunitions can take the city at hostage within minutes, and all we can do is sit and watch on television screens. Have we become that blunt to our emotions that we will just be letting things be handled in same manner until they blow up one of our own relatives or even us in future? People say that mumbai is a city where people don’t have emotions, people are mechanically emotionless and highly rigid, but isnt it obvious to see a transformation in a whole generation due to repetitive shocks given to each one of us. The truth is not that people forget easily, the truth is that “we choose to forget” becoz if I do continue remembering it how good is it going to help me? I wil be disturbed, my life will be disturbed and among the great lake of adjustment I may not be surviving in the end. What then is the solution to such happenings?
I remember one of my college teachers saying that IIT papers are not repeated and they have a new paper style every year. And I asked him at that time how do we score then? The answer was simple think what they may think becoz if you can then you can solve the problems at that instance more easily since u will be prepared for the unknown problems. I ask the question to our ministers, our intelligence and all those responsible for eating my tax money for free. CANT WE BE PREPARED? If we know that a theif keeps eye on our house and plans to rob it we see to it that we plan things in advance. Why can’t we then be prepared to handle such situations and be aware about it before hand?
As a Mumbaikar, Indian and a basic human being living on this earth all I can say is “I CANNOT ADJUST OVER ME AND MY LOVED ONES’ SECURITY ANYMORE, I CHOOSE TO LIVE NOT DIE ANONYMOUSLY AT THE MERCY OF A FANATIC TERRORIST JUST BECOZ HE THINKS AHEAD OF MY GOVERNMENT. IF YOU CANT PROTECT US. F*#K OFF!!! AND LET THE ARMY TAKE CONTROL. I PREFER LIVING IN A NON DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY THEN DIE AS A NUMBER OF CASAULTY.”
