Will you please shut up ??????

The last few weeks of 2012 had been a nightmare. The new year is no better, at least as yet. While we continue to have discussions on the Delhi rape case, every day more and more sordid cases of rape and molestation crop up in the news. It is really a nightmare, to say the least. Nowhere and at no other time did we feel less secure, more helpless and more agitated. The governmental machinery seem to be in a state of constant paralysis.

As if this was not enough, we have our great netas shooting off the mouth with surprising regularity. Sometimes it is some fellow asking for overcoats to school to another character talking about Bharat and India and some such gibberish and then someone talks about Park Street case – it is endless. And very next day it is the foot in the mouth disease that afflicts them. And as if this was not enough, now we have half witted godmen also giving opinions about calling rapists brothers. What next tie them a Rakhi ? And then we have Khaps....Oh my God give us a break !

Time these people realized that before making a statement they need some grey matter in their upper storey. As there was a joke, it is better to keep the mouth shut and risk people calling you a fool rather than opening the mouth and removing all doubt.

Our great netas and godmen and semi-literate Khap spokesmen and such characters better understand that.

I feel like carrying a placard and start shouting from every rooftop “Will you please shut up !!!!”
