There's only good news!
I like to breathe news - good or bad! Journalism happened to me by design, but has been sustained by a series of accidents. This profession (read passion) gives an unmatched sense of satisfaction. More so when one looks at the multitudes waiting to have a say in the way the system runs and find it frustrating to be heard. The only constancy that life offers is in change. This is the only job that allows me to empower everyone - with informed choices - to cope with the ever changing environment. Writing is the most exciting tool that comes handy to tell a tale - its the only human technology that gets more and more exciting with more use! And I am just learning that! Cheers!
Its a personally frustrating situation for the most of the environmentally conscious individuals. Everyone who agrees that there is something wrong with our environment doesnt know exactly what can be done to undo the damage. We all know what is causing damage, but none of us are in a position to prevent it.
There is a reaction to every action – that’s what we all learnt in science text-books. The Mumbai terrorist attack can’t be an exception. The knee-jerk reaction was removal of the home minister and replacement of Maharashtra chief minister. But the long-term consequences appear scarier.
It’s a known fact that terrorism and such similar nefarious activities thrive only when there is a sufficient local base and a sentiment that justifies the local sentiment. While Pakistan’s role may be evident and action against the erring neighbour may appear logical, we need to run a fact check on the local reality.
