Satyameva Jayate: A good report as it deserves from different me

I myself used to troll around Amir’s Satyameva jayate just to prove my Humor’s greatness all these days since it was aired for the first time. I used to fight with friends on networking sites despite knowing I’m saying all shit. It was because of pure ego and basically I’m hallmark Indian, who is reluctant to embrace change fast(Incidentally one of my friend even pointed out this). After all still there is bit of good many inside me with emotions and unprogrammed. I my self thought about that function at times(Majority of time my mind flirts with these kinda stuff) and what Amir trying to say(let the matter of whether he is fit or unfit to host Satyameva Jayate be aside). How many fit people tried something like that?  Angelina Jolie is a UN goodwill ambassador today and have adopted kids from almost all races. wasn’t she a Seductive playgirl of Hollywood(just like Lindsay Lohan) a few yrs back??? People do change(of course with exceptions like me).

Every time the new Aamir Khan TV show comes on, it divides people on twitter into two bitter groups. Although, that is not saying much. People on twitter are usually waiting for an opportunity to chastise each other, with each trending topic being just a small, disposable cog in the wheel. Every issue is just another way to prove that you are right, and those people opposing you, those straw men and women with their stupid arguments, are nothing but the scum of the earth. On twitter as in real life, everything is defensible, even the ‘band’ Creed, which all sane people agree is worse than a hundred Hitlers. (For those not familiar with this unit of measurement, a hundred Hitlers are equal to one Akshay Kumar movie).

One group wants to mock everybody for their naiveté (I belong to this group) and the other one(like my friends, who happens to be fans of Aamir Khan) wants everybody to shut up, leave their cynicism for once, and give the man a chance to heal the world and make it a better place for you and for me and the entire human race. On one hand there are people who think that this is another publicity hound doing things to make himself feel better while hogging the limelight; on the other we have people who think he is finally highlighting issues we refuse to talk about and that he should be applauded for doing this instead of hosting yet another Bollywood circle jerk.

One of the chief criticisms of the show is that the host takes a large amount of money to perform his duties. A lot of people seem to believe that a person with good intentions would do good things for free. However, anyone who has ever worked on even a small welfare project will tell you that volunteers who work for free are the most erratic.Image

 

Meanwhile, Aamir Khan has been turned into yet another savior we were waiting for. The old ‘at least he is doing something!’  symptom of overcompensation for ignoring our problems. And that something instead of being a placeholder becomes a substitute for doing anything. You don’t actually have to do things anymore; the mere fact that something is being done is good enough.

You can’t order “good leaders” on the internet. You have to make them(As my good friend said). We have to use the cynical a**holes who currently lord over us and get away with bloody murder (because they can!). We have to hold their feet to the fire. These people have no core and will go anywhere the blowing wind takes them. If we want better governance, if we want better law & order, if we want better management of our national resources, then we need to make our so called leaders do that. There are no free lunches. You don’t get things because you are entitled to them. You get them only if you fight for them.

Sorry Aamir at times i have found fault in you to prove myself a point in front of others.

God bless……!!!
