Sea of Hypocrisy


Hypocrites… I guess are one of the most abundant natural resources found in India. Virus and bacteria are probably the only ones above it in the list. Hypocrisy is omnipresent…Oh God !! you have big competition. Where do I look and not find hypocrites?? Nowhere… Well does that include you and me??? Well yeah maybe yes..maybe no…. I’m not being cynical about it but that’s how it is.

It’s only that the level of adulteration differs from one person to another…and so who would you call ‘good’ are the ones who are ‘better’ than the rest. Professional or personal front hypocrisy is pervading everywhere, everything. Educational institutes talk about building the future of students and what do they do? Kill it yeah…brutally murder it..well at least make a good attempt to murder it. If you are strong enough then survive on your own.

A professor of mine had rightly said that these educational institutes are the reflection of the society..if you are an irresponsible student then you are going to become an irresponsible employee and citizen. I guess this funda is not just applicable to students..its applies well to the management as well. The management plays with the future of students in a similar way as the government plays with the future of the citizens of the country. Wow!! What a playful lot of people, except for one tiny difference..the things they are playing are not non living but the dreams, aspirations and hopes of humans..but wait a minute…these things do not exist for such people.

At office…huge HR concepts are applied  to encourage employees but how many times do you come across a boss who is not ready to take credit of a junior’s work?? Not many times.. anyways backstabbing and all again is seen everywhere..please do whatever but don’t forget to keep a smile on your face…coz we are one happy family. (ohh gimme a break!!)

We see people around saying we so care for you darling..muah..muah…(this much sweetness…save the calories please!!) but what do they actually do?? Just give them one reason for your happiness and their sole purpose in life is to find ways to counter that..(wonder where did all that saccharine go??)

I don’t think I’m good enough to talk volumes about the political system and bureaucracy in the country. Naah baba I’m not that qualified!!! They have redefined the word hypocrisy!!! I guess I’m too amateur to write about the topic itself. It’s far too vast for me..mind boggling I tell you.. so here I am, I accept my incompetence to define or analyse this topic… I just say that this sea of hypocrisy is too vast and I see no piece of land amidst it.
