I woke up to my mom’s voice; she was shouting her lungs out
with my name and lecturing me about importance of time. Not heeding to her I
checked, the hour hand was already past 11. Accusing myself for this morning
‘pravachan’ ,I gathered myself up. It was
just another weekend of summer, the sun was passionately shining bright,
radiating happiness and illuminating people’s lives.
Shuffling through the newspapers, I came across the boldly
printed headlines about Subrata Roy. There was an adjacent report on former PM
Dr. Manmohan Singh. It seemed both of them were in hot water. Just then a gust
of wind blew my newspaper, trying to gimmick the outside atmosphere was getting
gloomy, the sky was slowly getting overcasted.
I sat down in a chair baffled and obscure about what was
going on. Now assembling the boogies of the train of my thoughts, I
contemplated for a while…
Now let’s see, Subrata Roy is a noble person, in my
perspective. But some people or investors to be precise won’t feel the same way
about him. It is said that he have allegedly failed to repay billions of
dollars to the investors after bonds Sahara sold to them turned out to be
illegal. Now who would have seen that coming? Especially the man who was
amongst the most powerful people in India. The founder and chairman of the
largest private sector employer in India with more than one million employees
and agents, with net worth of 680 billion rupees is struggling to repay the
debts.The tycoon who was often photographed in the company of world leaders,
Indian politicians and business moguls is spending time in solitude in Tihar
jail.
Let’s consider
Manmohan Singh. He is well known for the performance he delivered as ‘the muted
prime minister’. I would give the credits to the ‘puppet-master’ Sonia Gandhi
for his performance or rather say coercion! Recently CBI has summoned him in
court for coal scam.
Genuinely speaking Manmohan Singh is a very brilliant
person. He has got outstanding academic record for standing throughout first in
his class. He has won scholarship to go to Cambridge university and then
succeeded to get pHD from Oxford university.He devoted his time religiously for
the welfare of Indian society. Being most talented economist he was roped in by
scavengers like Congressmen, who wounded him with their ghastly jaws , making
him writhe in coal dust.
Now , I am a car enthusiast and have reverence for Jeremy
Clarkson, who is doing turns in international news for getting suspended by BBC
for fracas on the sets of Topgear. For those who are not aware of him much,
Jeremy is an English broadcaster, journalist and writer who specializes in
motoring especially for BBC. He is a recognized public personality, with 4.7
million followers on tweeter. Jeremy lures away his audience by his opionated
but humorous tongue in cheek writing and presenting style. What does he get
for making people happy and entertain them? A suspension letter of his career?
Well, scrutinizing all these three public figures they have
something in common, they all are amongst the most powerful and influential
people, who have served human society. For that now they have been over-casted
by dark clouds.
Just then a lightening flashed spookily, thunders were
already doing orchestra in the skies. The clouds bursted with bomb like water
droplets. The “things” , only sunny and bright some minutes ago, were now dark
and shadowed ; time takes toll on everything.
Now I comprehend why my mom was yelling to me about
importance of time… it has power to change or rather say destroy anything, ANYTHING!
