Hypocrisy

    Salman Rushdie's book is a reaction, an angry reaction, to Muslims' hypocrisy the world over. Muslims suffer from a superiority complex. They claim their religion is best and flawless.  They take pride in their religion as if  it was created by their grand-fathers. They don't  realise that the scripture itself says it is for entire mankind and not for Muslims alone.
   When it comes to deeds, actions and behaviour Muslims are no better than other people.Then why superiority complex and boasting about your religion. Muslims would be better off if they are less boastful of their faith and good practitioners of it.

Governments on sale

   News stories abound about corporations donating money to Governments. It is said it is perfectly legal. Anything can be made legal when corporations and governments merge. Their merger is always behind the doors. It is never reported. But understanding it, is not very difficult.
   What now. Governments collect taxes from everybody , even from poor. And give tax holidays to corporations and tax benefits to rich people, under the garb of  employment creation and economic growth.

Shameful Deeds

    Consumption, of the excessive variety, is at the root of most problems mankind faces today. It makes us poorer. It can make us debt-ridden. It may also force descent women into prostitution.
    Consumption forces us to over-exploit  natural resources. People say we have money, we can buy anything. Wrong. Natural resources are priceless. Perhaps we are eating into the livelihood of our children and grand-children. Shame on us.

Dangerous People

    Observe the contradiction, telephone companies say, ' please accept bills in electronic form, paper comes from trees, trees are priceless, let the trees stand tall.'
    Then, there are other companies, making greeting cards,made of paper, in millions, discarded within minutes after being read. These people are dangerous for planet earth.

Parents are problem

    Top cop says instances of rape are rising because girls are not wearing proper clothes. Does he mean that girls not wearing proper clothes are bound to be raped?  Is he asking boys to pounce on girls who are not wearing proper clothes?  What are proper clothes?
    Parents have become like animals. They only give birth to the children and then, it seems, almost throw them out. Poor youngsters struggle to decide what to wear and how to behave. Outsiders and media take advantage of these youngsters and make them consumers of their products.

Fooling the people

Third-rate people are talking about the economy, growth, and wealth creation. But where is this wealth going? This stupendous growth has given us only 3% of the fire stations we need, only 4% of necessary personnel, 19% of  fire fighting vehicles

  Fire breaks out in a five-star hospital in Calcutta. Safety measures are nowhere to be seen. 60 persons have to die.
Hospital owners tell us what they do and what they don't do. " We are here to mint money, spending on safety measures is none of our business"
  

Interesting Days
