मुफ्त की कीमत तो चुकानी ही पड़ेगी

जब कोई चीज मुफ्त मिल रही हो, तो समझ लेना कि आपको इसकी कोई बड़ी कीमत चुकानी पड़ेगी।

नोबेल विजेता डेसमंड टुटू ने एक बार कहा था कि ‘जब मिशनरी अफ्रीका आए, तो उनके पास बाईबल थी, और हमारे पास जमीन। उनहोंने कहा 'हम आपके लिए प्रार्थना करने आये हैं।’ हमने आखें बंद कर लीं...जब खोलीं तो हमारे हाथ में बाईबल थी, और उनके पास हमारी जमीन।’

इसी तरह जब सोशल नैटवर्क साइट्स आईं, तो उनके पास फेसबुक और व्हाट्सएप थे, और हमारे पास आजादी और निजता थी। उन्होंनें कहा 'ये मुफ्त है।’ हमने आखें बंद कर लीं, और जब खोलीं तो हमारे पास फेसबुक और व्हाट्सएप थे, और उनके पास हमारी आजादी और निजी जानकारियां।

जब भी कोई चीज मुफ्त होती है, तो उसकी कीमत हमें हमारी आजादी दे कर चुकानी पड़ती है।

Self Decorated Corona "Wary" iors: Inventing Self Goal OPPORTUNITY even in calamity

Covid 19, the current demon across the world has made mankind jittery. Almost all those in the region that's under its impact are in panic mode, living under constant threat, fear, suspicion and misery. In this alarming situation, there are many warriors who are selflessly working to control this evil umbothered, unconcerned whether they are

aknowledged or not.

Amongst such unsung hero's, there are few WARY- iors busy in inventing self goal opportunities amidst this calamity. This blog is dedicated to such "Wary" iors :

I admire the audacity of those who find and devise an opportunity even in such kind of pandemic calamity where without doing anything remote for or towards the cause or towards the society, they find out ways - means and patronizing organisations to decorate themselves as Corona Warriors!

Ironically even most of these award/reward bestowing organisations are never heard of before. It takes lots of guts, grit, networking skills, ambitions, self admiring admiration to devise, demand, collect & then display the decorations in social media for doing "ABSOLUTELY NOTHING" in the field for which (self) decorated ! And without any fear or apprehension as to how would they justify the decorations. What more, they find admirers too! Wonder what will such people resort to if they genuinely do 1% of what they claim😀.

All said and done, one thing is sure: Finding and Grabbing an opportunity for self glorification even when the entire humanity is passing through such tiring times and that too without any remotely constructive efforts requires multi talented qualifications that very few possess !

"Migrant" Workers ("प्रवासी" मजदूर)??

Most of the people working in IT companies in Bangalore are from other states, but they are not referred as migrant IT employees.

Most of the actors working in Mumbai-based Cinema are from different states but no one calls them migrant singers, migrant actors, migrant songwriters, etc.

Even the journalists of Delhi who give the status of migrant to laborers are mostly from other states but they do not call themselves migrant journalists.

States are distributed only for administrative convenience, but the country is one. To what extent it is appropriate to use the term migrant for people working in different states of their own country?

Worth Pondering...
