Denial is always exciting

 Let Someone Say 'no' to you, chances are that you would hanker after whatever is denied to you. That is the way an average mind works, it seems.

Oh, yes, denial always appears exciting. Look at the drug saga unfurling on the multi Channel t.v. There are many a wise magi out there who believe that if drugs were legalised, they would lose their dangerous allure, though, of course, more than half of the Punjabi Youth would be a trágic counter proof to this stupid  assertion.

In fact, as an expert was saying it on one of the many channels chewing the weed of the sexily jazzed up scandal, the way the lawyers of the Star Putra argued, more than sixty thousand young Punjabis languishing in  prisons for the same crime, a fact assertively corroborated even by the ex-chief-minister of the state, must also be granted both, bail and general amnesty from a 'defaming', as the lawyer mafia working for the oh-so-innocent twenty three old Star 'kid' maintain, trial and/or punishment. Better send three fourths of Punjab to the rehabilitation camp. At least, prisons will be empty! 

See the assertive power of negation? Actually, just a few days ago, the Star Papa had gone viral in which he casually said that his son should smoke, do weed and worse drugs, and so on. So suddenly why this breast beating that has drawn government institutions to  politics to religion in to a cesspool of ugly shamelessness and p(r)etty piddly posing?

Honestly, I lost all my respect for a famous lyricist, who laughing knowingly,  smirked that politics is happening, and how, in this country, while completely ignoring the tens of thousands of unhappy, and not so well connected, parents whose children are falling prey to the glamourised drug cartels/ syndicate. What an unhappy, brazen hypocrisy! If such are the public intellectuals, so callous, so casual about sensitive issues, so thoughtless in third rate politicking  and posing, then, indeed, cry, my beloved country! A sensitive, intelligent Person would have used that truly coarse, crude hangama to weed out "weed", alcohol, denied substances, ruining relationships, families, individuals, worse than even a war!

It is such shallow thinkers (phew!) who create films in which a nay-saying girl is shown to be actually hankering after the hero's(!) 'yes'! No wonder, in our irresponsible societal space, denial is ever sexed up!

Pratima@ idiot talks/full of sound and fury/signifying nothing!
