i report !!

I’ve been thinking of starting a little blog well I have one and the best part of is it that there is complete freedom expression and I don’t need to answer to anyone. Read it, critique it and more important laugh and then ponder over it….
It’s called ireport... I’m hoping this doesn’t ever come under the Apple scanner and i get sued my pants off in my case it’s my demure salwar..This is just a reflection of the times from my eyes; call it cynicism, jaded or maybe one of the times just plain ol’ innocence and before I forget my jat pigheadedness.
What brought this one on was the passing of World Environment Day and the day before that the sad demise of Dilnaaz Kaur. We all viewed it on Ptc, made the proper noises of regret and then lambasted the poor mother; that she didn’t take care of her. I mean, get real folks which mother would willingly throw her daughter down a bore-well? Do we in our air-conditioned rooms with backup generators ever realize how the poor commoner ever lives? They still play in the open and wander over to every nook and corner not worried about the temperature and the beating sun. The retort to this one would be she should have been careful or taken care, yes but accidents happen but when the media makes a mockery of emotions and also tried to hike its TRP ‘s by sensationalizing the news , that’s when we lose ourselves. Politicians flock and try to give their condolences and compensation is given but how does one value a 2and half yr old? Is it calculated according to the years she lived or scared over the disparity which was shown over the train accident/air crash victims?? That by the way, was last week’s news….and we had voting over it. It’s a sad reflection of our times when we start valuing people in lieu of votes.
The second one which made me think was world environment day; it visited Punjab government’s calendars earmarked by the special date. The proper noises were made, conservation was lauded and loads of programs were launched where we are going to save the water, have specialcancer trains, have more Ro systems , and also have more vigilant teams to monitor sowing of paddy. Ironically we have a news item where paddy is being sown before the due date in Khidhikiyan wala because the landlord is close to the ruling party!! And, mind you water conservation projects have all been initiated there. I wonder why rest of Punjab is in slumber, must be due to the heat or the euphoria that ki farak painda hian!! No thought has been given to forest conservation. I wish we would learn from Tamil Nadu where they have risen from .3% to a close 50% and that also when a spiritual leader called Sathguru initiated planting trees and Project Green Hands. The reason being…how is one going to meditate if there is no tree to sit under?!!!!!
I genuinely laughed over that one. And as he says it’s a collective effort, involve everyone emotionally ( that’s our weakness) emotional aatyachar always works, I say.
