Going to sleep after a long
traffic jam and watching some not so good news - highest rise in petrol prices.
And like me every aam aadmi is in a
bit of awe, how come Rs 7.5 rupee hike! (aise
kaise). But the story isn’t about that.
Just read yesterday’s
newspaper – one of the headlines mentioned "25th anniversary of the Siachen operations passed in silence"
(read full article here). Awesome article, a bit senti though. But how many of us
are bothered about it.
I read the story, I liked it. Thought
why not share it. Googled ‘Siachen’ and bang! appeared a new article saying ‘Army pilot killed in Siachen glacier crash’
(story appeared May 23, read here). A bit shocked.
No mainstream 24*7 news channel
highlighted the fact about 25th anniversary or the pilot’s death.
Everybody was interested in the petrol price hike. Which brings me to the
point, can’t we take even 5 sec to share the news (even in our day to day life,
we share the news when anybody passes away). I feel sad about the pilot’s well-wishers
and relatives for the loss of his life. It
is a loss for all of us! But sadly it seems, petrol is a bit more
important.
R.I.P pilot
