Where am I my leading my India!

I.. India.

It kinda scares me to see and know the current state of affairs in my India.
Why...?
I pick the paper up first thing every mornin and I wish n hope to see somethin good about my city and the nation that I am. Instead I see bomb blasts, political agenda which by the way has gone to dogs (no offense.. oh faithful friends of the human race), murder, rape, corruption, bank scam, stock market doom and most of all self-centered attitude of almost every I that this nation is.

I am not being cynical. No. I also see, guys like V Anand, Sania(s) Chawlas, 10dulkars, dhan dhana dhan dhonis, Dr. A P J Kalam..well theres no S with this personality as theres no other like him and ads like Teach India, Lead India and the buiz greats...the CEOs of our (IT mostly..makes me wonder why not other fields as well) crown jewels, founders, the indegenous NANO.. (I am not sure if it will aid the middle class or make thier lives on the city roads hell), creative and innovative college grads comin up with planet saving ideas and those lil yet significant articles by the news agencies pointing out the "we have not done our jobs well" things and "please do" requests which sometimes if not all get things done and of course a million other small things that make our lives better and make us feel proud and good about being the I - my India.

Having said that... it scares me coz sometimes I let myself wonder...what if all these blasts and scams are planned attacks serving the selfish the so called polititians. What if this whole thing is an elaborate scheme of a group of people in the assemblies and parliaments. We have all seen the movie Sarkar Raj..right? We have seen how innocent people have been made to play thier part as victims..sometimes paying with thier lives.. to achieve power. What if these attacks that have happened on my soil were only some of the strategic moves in a sinister plot of a political power motivated game.

I know I know..the first thing that comes to our minds is that our Security agencies...the police, CBI, Research and Analysis Wing, Intelligence Bureau, Military Intelligence and what not are all not doing what they are supposed to. But I also know that sometimes its unfair as only thier failures come to light and not thier achievements. We hear of only the blasts or killings that happen and we do not hear of the numerous others that might have been prevented by our protective forces. Yet again I hear of the corrupt military official who aided in malegoan blasts and the laxity of the intelligence agency that had a hint of the orissa blasts possibility resulting in the tragedy eventually. I also hear about the minister who wont let his son who is accused of a rape surrender before the police. He would have gladly surrendered him had he not been his own son and would have made a big political scene out of it that would have worked to his advantage. Blantant bending of the rules to save kin?!!
How am I to prevent myself from thinking that all these happennings are nt a part of a bigger criminal plan?!!
