Its all about the will ..

As soon as the cauvery verdict was announced the memories of Rajkumar's death the events that unfolded after that got instantly refreshed - what I called the fear psychosis was replayed , the honest hardworking citizen got transformed into a squirrel desperately trying to get into his or her borough. What happened last year was inexplicable a person whose normal death brought about such irrational expressions of mindless violence and there were all the elements of it getting repeated after all the pride of karnataka was at stake and how can our astute politicians miss the chance of grabbing the opportunity of misleading the gullible citizenary of how the whole country was against the state.

Alas that was not to be and except some benign skirmishes nothing major untoward happened - probably every of the banaglore's citizen reached home on time ( even for a change ) , the bosses did not have an excuse to ask the folks to stay back , all the customers deadlines was dumped in the dustbin and en mass we all headed home. Ostensibly our beloved CM decided that there was much at stake - The aero India show was happening in Bangalore - with a lot of senior folks from the global aviation industry present suddenly the image of the state was at stake and as sense prevailed all the immature and malignant forms of agitation was probably forgotten ( I hope ).

This clearly shows if our politicians want they can definitely make a difference to our lives - the problem is that they have to pander to the community which actuals votes them to power - the poor and the illiterate who probably cant make the out the difference between brass and gold but still decide who is worthy of their franchise. In this case the agitating people may even not know what this verdict actually means but you still find them in hordes blocking roads , resorting to ransom ET all.

If there is a will - our country could be a much better place to live and probably regain the lost glory of our heritage.
