The Best in BEST
India finally breathing a sigh of relief after the 3 day Bombay or Mumbai fiasco ended.....(or has it just begun)..but the anger is still there. The common man on the street & the super rich in their boardrooms cannot stop discussing the terror that struck our financial capital on 26th November & continued for almost 60 hours.
A lot of things have come out of it........you may think that i am being rude or disoriented...but the cellular companies & telecom connectors made a lot of moolah out of this........like many of you, i too was getting a lot of SMSes on the terror strikes, some being resigning in nature, some patriotic, some against a particular individual of shallow affluence who had Mumbai halted for a few days.....but it was the companies that went laughing all the way to the bank........
One such SMS hit me & it hit me very hard....bcoz it rallied around my own thoughts, my own anguish.........
"What a shame & disgrace for every citizen of India that the elite NSG force was transported into ordinary BEST buses, whereas our cricketers are transported in state of the art luxury buses. These jawans lay down their lives to protect every Indian and these cricketers get paid even if they lose a match. We worship these cricketers and forget the martyrdom of these brave jawans. These jawans should be paid the salaries of cricketers & the cricketers should be paid the salaries of jawans. Shame on our Govt."
Though this is just an SMS created by an observant fellow or by some company to rake in the moolah, but almost all the words said are true. It is not about the buses, but about the common frame of mind of the people of India, who hopefully have realised that they go overboard with their love, respect & worship of these god like figures. Maybe this SMS was created out of that shame.
I agree with the thing that BEST buses should not have been used, but i don't support usage of luxury buses. Our forces are used to hardship & cold shouldering during times of peace. Please don't spoil them by giving them luxury buses. The American government pays a lot to countries like India to acclimatize their marines & forces to harsh & humid conditions like Rajasthan or marshy & moist conditions like those present all across NE India, so that their troops can become battle worthy in places like Afghanistan & Iraq.
The usage of Army or Navy buses would have been better, because almost 80-90 % of NSG is army regulars.
JAI HIND!!!!!
