BOTH WERE IN NEWS…

Recently, I had one of those normal crappy days @ work… few defects here and there… a little bit of gyan sucking from the senior junta here and there… I made my way back home… as always I again never got to see the sunset… I have forgotten the evening sun completely… Ok! That’s another story all together… With nothing to do… I switched on TV…!! Still in that mental shock of seeing those defects… I could hardly hear anything properly forget keeping my eyes open!

But I could hear somethings here and there…

Major shot dead

Cremated full honors

I must have fallen asleep… coz the next words I hear are…

He is like an elder brother to me… , Big B family

Sister Priya Dutt says – we all can sleep well tonight… it’s a great relief

Salman Khan saying – We always knew he was innocent

I manage to open my eyes… and see the news flashing – “Sirf Munna not bhai – All TADA charges against him withdrawn.” And I wake up with a WHAT THE HELL reaction on my face…

Welcome to India… Ladies and Gentlemen…

This is a country of the biggest ironies…

On the same day I hear the most strikingly opposite news…

The judiciary in India is SO heavily influenced by the politics…

BBC flashed – "Hisbul Mujahidin's Most wanted terrorist 'Sohel Faisal' killed in anantnag, India. Indian Major leading the operation lost his life in the process. Four others are injured.” even as the body of Major Manish Pitambare, was being cremated with full military honours at Thane. Major Manish H Pitambare got the information from his sources about the terrorists' whereabouts. Wasting no time he attacked the camp killed the Hisbul mujahidin's suprimo and in the process lost his life..... To the bullets fired from an AK47.... He has a wife and a daughter , age .....18 months! Major Manish never said 'I have a daughter' ...before he took the decision to attack the terrorist hide out in the darkest of nights? He never thought about having a family and he being the bread earner.

Hardly any news about him was flashed on the TV because they all were busy APPLAUDING the release of a former drug addict, an actor in real and reel life, a suspect who's linked to bomb blasts which killed hundreds. Their aim was to show how he defied the TADA charges and they were so successful that his conviction in possession of armory had no meaning. They also concluded that his parents in heaven must be happy and proud of him..... Parents of Major Pitambare are still on this earth and they have to live rest of their lives without their beloved son. His daughter won't ever see her papa again.

Both had Ak-47s…

One had them to kill the countries enemies and the other to support them

Both were involved in deaths directly / indirectly…

One to kill the country’s enemy and the other indirectly involved in killing innocent civilians

Both were involved with terrorists…

One killing them… one supporting them

Both were sole earning members of there families…

One earning few thousands in a govt job and the other in crores

Both had young daughters…

One who was 18 months old and the other studying in USA

Both were heroes…

One was a real life hero and the other was a REEL life hero

&

BOTH WERE IN NEWS…

AND YET THE COUNTRY CELEBRATED Sanju’s RELEASE and DIDNT MOURN Major Sir Manish Pitambare’s death!

Welcome to India… Ladies and Gentlemen!

My reply to the mail:-

well ******, thanks for the mail...

but then all i can say is u are jumpin the gun here, by assuming that the judiciary is not capable of deciding whether the person standing before them is cuplable/guilty or not....

it is possible that he was involved in aiding the bomb-blast suspects, and also possible that he might not be involved...

tho it is very true tht we as Indians have been fed, and to this i hold the media largely responsible, on glamour and not realism... a reel life actor will be a role model for many more ppl/children than a real life hero wud be... and this is very saddening....
