Mass frenzy grips the nation. It does not mean a mass of people being in frenzy en masse .Nor does it merit frenzied mobs going berserk .
I mean the mass of frenzied mindsets who seem to both hate others as well as love themselves -all at once .Both the acts of humanity seem contradictory but being self-obsessed, there seems to be no contraindication of the vacuum which fills their mass called the brain itself.
Neither the legislators nor the business-folk;not the peasant nor a countryside farmer; not a casual laborer nor the self-employed, the ones who really seem to be the only employed are the ones who are termed ‘middle class’: these constitute the likes of all those who can neither stoop to the level of kowtowing to the rowdy across the street who is a self-styled leader who distributes pattas [titles of land]or one who would throw around wads of notes to pay the ‘black’-money component too of the exorbitant cost of lands.These are the mass who keep alive the notion of there being in existence a higher force of nature called GOD and the many who keep any religion alive .
Mass frenzy is the order of the day . Be it adorning the mainroads with huge statues or be it garlanding a not diminutive sized woman-leader with huge garlands of currency-notes repeatedly in full public view .Same would be the situation when the living house of the main opposition leader in a state was razed to the ground .Likewise is the situation when magical sounding phrases like IPL or SRK are bandied about to invent thousands of crores of rupees worth of a parallel economy .And an even greater number of idlers and sycophants across the nation.
Are we a frenzied nation .Or am I working up a frenzy about this mass of do-nothing-but-seem-gooders?
Whatever it is all much ado about nothing .Them all, I mean .Not the realists.
