Don’t blame Aishwarya

What’s the hoopla about mediocrity when the entire nation is run by mediocre or below mediocre politicians whose only measure of success is being in the limelight? Do we see any genius with a lion’s heart among the present crop of politicians either? So, why blame only Aishwarya?

If they are getting so much of media hype are we not to be equally blamed for choosing them in the first place?

After all, it is our taste that is dictating the market! If we don’t watch their movies or listen to ‘something’ that they call music that come in glossy skins or nasal voice or simply base voice, then no one will come running after us!

We are the people who go gaga over histrionics of Mr. Lalu Prasad Yadav more than his role as a politician and his ‘contribution’ as the ex-Chief minister of Bihar. We are the people who keep silent when a singer like Mr. Reshamia openly bad mouths such a magnificent singer like Ashaji, ridicule the talent of late Kishore kumarji, in a similar talent hunt program! Where are we living?

So, can we really cry foul when we don’t do our part of the bargain responsibly? It is us: as viewers, it is us: as electorates, who choose our half-baked leaders and our pseudo-public figures, cheer them, follow them, give them more attention than they deserve and grovel at their feet. So, it is no wonder that we have to bear the brunt of our wrong choices.

If we are really concerned, then the foremost thing to do is change ourselves, our thinking, our way of reacting and then making wrong choices, and finally make a real honest attempt to raise ourselves from the same mediocrity that we are blaming others are having- that’s the only way we can exonerate ourselves from our mistakes and see the world around us changing.What’s your take?
