Pseudo-Kings on our mother land

It was about twelve midnight, middle class biker was over the bridge coming from job, all of a sudden a car possessing  government number plate giving emergency horn appeared behind. The biker slowly took a aside indicating with indicators and thinking that there would be ambulance or police mobile because of their specific horn. But it was not like he thought. The boy in the car seemed a son of a well influenced person: MNA, MPA, from military or any well designated government position, yelled on the biker with a very harsh and abusive word complaining that why biker had not taken a side rapidly.

He abused that bike rider and tried to mess up with him because he knew that bikers had no references and resources to defend, so it proved to be a piece of cake to abuse the biker and went ahead.

I watched out all happening and I heard an old man say,

"Don't mess with him, he seems the son of a well-to-do and influenced person maybe".

I thought to ask that abuser but he had rushed. He was about early twenties but just like a rebellious and oblivious of the mankind. And he appeared to be a pseudo king on the land.

I just kept standing at the signal and thinking how people in our beloved country are divided into different classes: lower, middle, upper and elite classes. Why mankind and humanity seems to be vanished and unfamiliar in our surroundings. The unruly wealthy youngsters look down upon the responsible and mature middle class ones. Ignorance, injustice and influence of power are at the peak now.

The elders of the family keep no eyes upon their younger ones’ deeds and activities; where they are going, sitting, hanging out and what they are doing. Oblivion is spread everywhere here.

The matter of fact but shame is their elders justify their offspring’s' evil deeds and they say in justification,

"Let them live their lives, this is their age to enjoy. Whatever we could not do in our lives, they should do on account of us."

Let it be asked if this is their time to do whatever they desire to or keen on, can the scuffles, quarrels, arrogance and moreover abuses be defended anyhow? The answer is obviously "no". And if it is asked to them can they tolerate the same deprivations and injustice from their surroundings? Yet again the answer is straightforward "no".

This blog is for those who are consciously or unconsciously hurting, bullying, mistreating and manhandling the less powerful or less class people than them as they think.

Think of it for a while having kept your eyes closed the answer will be their plights who are innocent ones like you but not bloody vultures.

Treat, handle, deal and consider every piece of every class equally. Accept the mistakes and try to get over your cruel attitude and get rid of your arrogance because final destination is only 2.5 yard grave. Because every pseudo kings will also be buried in the same size of dug land.

If we have a glimpse at our society, we see there are several similar incidents happen and the less powerful people unwillingly keep quiet knowing that they will have to face the music if they voice loud against the tyranny of the society and its pseudo kings.

This tyranny takes birth on the lap of these well influenced, powerful and wealthy people whose world is not like other ones'. But fact is final destination is not even a little different to anyone's.

If They Did Not Exist, How Would Our Lives Be?

Life seems so much more convenient because of their existence, presence and availability. Were they not there, how much would we have to suffer and how we would have survived?

Imagine for a second, if you had to have your shoes mended and there was no cobbler; You would definitely be forced to buy a new pair of shoes. Picture this if there were no puncture shop and you would have to buy a new car tire tube every now and then. Your expenditures would be sky rocket and perhaps meeting ends would be difficult. If domestic helps such as sweepers and maids were not there then how would we enjoy eating out, shopping or watching dramas like couch potatoes? Of course  we would be doing all the house chores ourselves.

If there were no greengrocers, dry cleaners or the beloved chai-wala’s how different would our lives be? I think we would not be the Kings and Queens that we consider ourselves. At least we would have to seek for these services from dawn to dusk. But despite of all these comforts we have little regard for those who belong to these so called blue collared professions. We as a society collectively do not value their contributions and rather than showing our gratitude we often mistreat them.

Most of us never try to empathize with them nor do we ever put ourselves in their shoes. Many of us consider them beneath us but the fact of the matter is they are far more better than us. At least they do not consider themselves holier than us. They deserve our utmost respect because they are not judgmental. While they may not be considered rich monetarily  but they are generous at heart.

Our lives seem convenient because of their sweat and blood.

Our thoughts are touching the sky. While we are living in our own cocoon, in the hangover of our pride, ego or status or so-called high professions we have become oblivious to the existence of these gems.

Have some self-reflection, look around your surroundings, many people are busy helping us working very hard to give us the comfort which is a privilege not our right.The purpose of this blog is not only to help us be emphatic to their plight but also to highlight their importance.

So just ponder over it, if they did not exist how lives of ours would be?
