వాగుడు

ఉన్నదొక్కటే  ప్రపంచం
నా ప్రపంచం నీ ప్రపంచం ఒకటి  కావు

జరిగిన వాస్తవం అద్వైతం
చరిత్ర పేరు తో ఎన్నో భాష్యాలు

పుట్టుక ఒకే విధం
చావు పరి పరి విధాలు

నేను మొత్తుకునేది ఒకటి
నువ్వు గ్రహించేదొకటి

Between the lines

In the midst of the Telangana Samaikyandhra turmoil,  very victim - common man from the village and small town is jettisoned out on whose name the battle is being fought by two sides.

It is termed "barbaric act" and gets media attention showing 1000 times a day shattered glass panes of a posh mall. The same section has remained wishfully oblivious to millions of broken lives and shattered households. We care more for a canceled show and broken glass at a cinema hall than people killing themselves in utter despair because they are into unfashionable profession of creating food.

Hyderabad losing its brand image is now causing concerns. Not a minuscule share of this concern has been noticed in all these years about the living conditions in the same city. Municipal drinking water had to be toxic enough to take lives to grab the eyeballs.

I see ferocious arguments on the news channel shows; on social networking sites, newspolls. Ironically one hardly hears the voice of the core majority who form the nucleus of all the discussion. We enjoy arguments, making statements, passing conclusions while steering away the topic of debate. The arguments and battles have become more important than issues for which the former were originally taken up.
