That day I was at my Hometown Morigaon.. We had some invitations and so me, papa and one uncle were going to receive Maa from her school... Papa was driving the car, uncle was occupying the front seat and I was on the rear.. Maa was waiting at a place near the main road on the right side of our way. As soon as papa stopped the car at the left side of the road, I absent mindedly opened the right side rear door for maa.. But papa was too prompt to warn me,
"Bacha, why have you opened the wrong door? Never do this again... I don't want to be the part of a so called BREAKING NEWS !!!"
I immediately obliged... Actually after the accident that happened 2 years back, in which our parked car was hit by a Tata Magic when maa was still inside, papa has become somewhat more conscious in this regard.. Our car was damaged very badly, but thankfully maa didn't suffer much physical injuries... And in this case papa was right. Okay, there maa was crossing the road, and it was not that much busy at that moment.. But you know, accidents do happen... You can't just predict... And if in case any unfortunate happens, we would surely become the part of a breaking news, at least in the Assamese medias...
In this context I think it would be relevant to quote some points from my Assamese article "DHIKKAR AAMAR MANASIKOTAK !!!" (SHAME ON OUR MENTALITY !!!) which was already published in our GMCH college magazine's latest edition...
"Today I am here with you... I am expressing my views... You are going through my writings... Some of you would agree to my points, some won't and some would be just indifferent to what I am up to... But if somehow tomorrow I just disappear from this world, suppose victimized by some violent activities, then what will happen ? For most of the media houses I will become a news item... There will be condolence meeting of one minute in my institute Gauhati Medical College & Hospital... There will be demand for justice by various organizations... And after some days, leaving aside some faint memories, most probably most of you will just forget me... Those that will suffer the most will be my family and my close friends... Nobody else... Forget about justice, there is every chance that the culprits will roam free of any convictions... It might also happen that some of my friends might knowingly or unknowingly felicitate my murderers !!! "
This is it... We all are too busy (including me)... Until and unless something happens to our own, we don't have time even to think about the consequences... Leave it... This will just go on.. No point of trying to find the four corners of our own planet Earth while it's actually a globe !!!!
