Empty hope?

Questions….Questions….Questions in the mind!!... All through the way I took to Gateway of India on December 3, 6pm. You must have heard or seen about the rally?

Where is this all leading to? Why this madness of some anti progressive elements to kill and rejoice? What is their mental make up? Why are the commoners always vulnerable? Was it only an attention seeking lunacy? Why are we careless? Why are our territories’ rulers selfish and corrupt? Why can’t we have a common goal of social progress than self progress? Why do I have to go all the way to join a protest? Why can’t the system makers be responsible and do their duties? How good is this rally? Where are we heading? What is the direction we need to take? Will a leader come out of this 50000 people? Will he also get sucked in the corrupt system? It is tough to manage a 4 member family at home…Isn’t it extremely difficult to manage a country like ours with so many different people? There are so many silly ego clashes between bureaucrats, leaders, rulers…how can that be removed? Why there are so many parties ruling our country…why is every individual a political party?

There is a group calling out “Pakistan Murdabad”. A lady from another group cries out “Don’t say that, Say Politicians, Terrorists Murdabad”…..So many different people…so many different thoughts? What is the common goal? To which group do I belong to?

The cops standing helplessly….is it only their job and duty? Do they hate us? Will they be able to protect this sea of people if something happens? Are the TV channels there only for TRP? Will this fire fizzle out in a few days? Will I come back for more protests? Will I be able to sacrifice my regular job timings for the sake of the nation? What can I do something effective for a quick change? We say enough is enough but for the greedy…is “enough” enough? There is huge news of the rally….are we happy about it because we were a part of it? Have the law manipulators heard? Are they shaken? Will everybody follow rules from now on?

If this is a long fight for justice, how long? Who would lead? Can we see a bright and safe future?

I went there to participate in something that gave me a chance to voice my concern to change the system.

I have hopes but I don’t know if it is only a usual empty hope? Does anybody have answers?
