I am a the Common Man. I’m too busy with the mundane affairs of my life (job, bills, weekends et al) to be able to spare my time or energy to fast for the cause of a Jan Lokpal Bill. I try to find the time to update myself with the nuances of the schemes wrought within the Parliament and without. I admit, I am sometimes unable to do even so much. I have expressed my support for the Bill by discussing and/or arguing it over with my friends and acquaintances. I have signed/promoted/forwarded petitions demanding the same. I have blogged and tweeted and updated my Facebook status.
I believe I’ve made my stand on this issue fairly obvious to the world around by now, which to the best of my knowledge includes my government, its elected leaders & lawmakers and media. And yet if these incompetent fools, interpret my absence from the MMRDA grounds and other such places all over the nation as a proof of my being in favor of the sheer shamelessness being played out within the houses of Parliament, I wonder if blowing the whole damned building down – and the lot within it – is what it would take to make myself heard… a little clearly this time.
