The Power of Power!!

Its been a few weeks!!! That means, I am more accustomed to this CoVid culture now & things are more normal!!!!

I have been watching or stalking on SSR turned to Bollywood case & the Hathras case. The drama was a very interesting watch. Much more interesting than the IPL where my most fav team is losing at all matches. My hero is not that fit!!

So, this brings me to this drama of what is going on in the Bollywood & the media “Circus” as they call it. I am no judge of how ppl live their life & definitely I am one among the people who does watch the “Gossips”. Unfortunately, people like me have given the media (this includes Bollywood) the right to exploit us. The right to make money out of us & the right to decide what is “Right” & “Wrong” for us.

Journalism was an auxiliary subject I had in college & the first thing that was taught to us was “A report is recording of facts without any emotion” A duty of a reporter was to state the fact & leave it that way. If a view is needed, an expert in that field is called in & they throw light on the details. Again, without emotions & without taking sides. It is very important to view facts without coloured glasses.

But now a days, each & everyone has become an expert. I think these journalists would call me in, as well, if I can ensure TRP rating for them. If I shout cuss words at Rajdeep or Arnab, I will definitely become an expert on any subject, for those channels. Like all these political ppl who have all become the close associates in Disha & SSR’s lives. Those people who fake emotions & do circus in just visiting a rape victim’s family. I seriously don’t understand the politics of visiting a gang raped victim’s family. Ideally, we should concentrate on the family of those ppl who did the rape & insult them so much that each & every family member of a guy takes it their responsibility to bring their son, brother, husband to treat another female the right way. Insult them in such a way that a man thinks, not just twice but a zillion times before looking at a girl in an inferior way. Focus on the family of those rapist until they disown that person. But these people focus on the victim, when they need time to draw the strength from themselves. Instead of giving them that time, these people pound at their doorstep to keep that memory very fresh. Give a break!!!!

I would say we are one of the reasons why the media is the way they are, the actors are taking drugs. Because, we are interested. Because we choose to make them our Idols. Because we are so interested in what they do every single minute of their life & try to copy that, that they need drugs to obliviate themselves from this world. And we are responsible as we have given them the Power to dictate things to us. We have given them the Power to say “Don’t watch us, if you are not interested!”.

Everything needs to be kept in their place. Just because we have a golden broom, we cannot use that to clean the toilet. When we respect each other as a human being & not treat anyone above or below us, we create a better place to live. So, this change should start from us. We all must take an oath to NEVER look Up on any person & NEVER look Down on any person. NEVER blindly believe someone. NEVER to blindly distrust someone. Never take sides. Never give the power of our life to others.

All of us are HUMANs, lets be them!! Use the Power we have the right way & show how powerful we are to this world & not the otherway!!
