White Blood

In this undaunting and relentless era of cat and mouse race - corruption, dishonesty and deceitfulness are here to stay. From a tiny department to a large enterprise, fraudulence has affected and seeped easily into human minds.  So is this justified? Is treachery the only way out – the only way which has left an indelible mark on the character of millions?

Is it that whistleblowers and revolutionary thinkers have been long forgotten and worn-out under the heavy burden of deception? Testimonial voices are being curbed, evidences are being manipulated and fear is creeping inside slowly. Why has the blood turned ‘white’? Isn’t this a country where we have received hard fought freedom through many daring acts of bravery and valour? Why doesn’t our blood boil-up to awaken us to put forward a step towards stopping dishonesty and subterfuge?

Some things get glaringly clear pretty early. And we put mud on them and try to make the picture hazy. Where has the courage vanished? It seems we all have become habitual in our small little selfish worlds of petty desires. The hearts which earlier used to beat together in cognizance and unity have been rusted and marred with egocentric and inconsiderate motives.

Fear breeds unhappiness and sorrow. When you can’t stand up for the right thing at the right time and raise your voice against the wrong, you live in an environment of mistrust and deceit. You seem to have flown along with the tide and lack the nerve for opposing it, even if you stand alone. You seem to think of your own vested interests and not of the whole community. It is not unknown that no revolution can start without a single igniting spark. And that spark has to come from within, like a surge of high tide waves – backed up by ‘red’ heart-pumping blood in full flow.

Hopefully, and surely with time, we shall have a gush of human race full of daring people who believe in themselves and the power of truth – the ultimate resort – and who have the persistence to take up even-handedness in their stride. The ‘White’ blood shall surely turn ‘Red’ again with such a Red Revolution!
