My mind is in a whirl as we, in the sub-continent, head steadily towards mass insanity. At a micro level, the BMC has chosen to dig up 350 arterial roads simultaneously in our city. And while we should rage against this disorganised institution, we turn angrily on each other out of sheer frustration. Santa Claus’s festival is approaching and as usual our Parliament has more directionless reindeers in there than the participants of Bigg Boss. Plus they have the cheek to criticise the reality TV show for its content. At least the contestants of the programme aren’t formulating policy for the country. As we speak, the education ministry, instead of attending to illiteracy, are devising mindless circulars for kids to attend school on Christmas under the guise of observing Good Governance Day. While on the subject, one Rajeshwar Singh of the Dharm Jagran Manch of the Aligarh Christmas Conversion programme fame wants to root out Christianity from India by 2021.
