Yeh public hai, yeh sab jaanti hai??????

An 8 yr old girl, wields the microphone with anticipated confidence, and sings “salona sa sajan hai aur main hoon…”. A mellifluous flawless rendition. The studio audience and the judges, moved by the out of the world performance, give her a standing ovation. Magical, unreal! The little girl is chucked out brutally the next week. The harsh reality!

Public voting system, the masses, the masses!!!

The masses that made a mediocre Abhijeet sawant, the Indian Idol, not to forget his successor, Mr. Abysmal…oops Sandeep, the masses that made Ravinder Ravi, a pathetic singer, the strongest contender for the title.

The masses that made a repugnant Qazi and a non descript partner Rooprekha- the fame jodi.

The masses that have made George Bush, the most powerful man on earth.[rofl]

The masses that returns Laalo yadav to power in bihar, every general election.[ don’t argue! Raabri is a sitz-redacteur !]

The masses that die in stampedes, trying to get a glimpse of the Joan of arc incarnate Mrs. Gandhi or a demigod Chiranjeevi.

The masses that make Reshammiya’s indistinguishable songs, chartbusters. Congratulations Mr. Reshammiya, the masses still think zara jhoom jhoom , aare aare, aashiq banaya, aapka suroor, aapki kashish, aahista aahista are all individual “separate” songs!

The masses that give a fallacious testimony about a murder in broad daylight, just because the convict is a fat cat.

The masses that remain callous to a pontiff’s irrational barbaric arrest at midnight.

The masses that bring to power a party that promises a colour televison, booze and others reasons too ghory to mention.

The masses who applaud a Barkha dutt who palliates a naxal, interviews a bloody gay, drooling, reduces the Shankaraarcharya to mortality, irrationally puffs up the Khushboo controversy…

The masses whose logic is “we are numerous, hence we are godamn right!”

The masses that made the little girl cry!!!!
