Abundant Enough

India's police force is short of cops. Whatever number of cops there are, are short of sophisticated weapons. The Indian defence forces are short of officers. Young graduates are short of jobs even as companies cry hoarse over manpower crunch. And what's the reason for this yawning gap between jobs and young grads? Career experts say it's the shortage of talent.

Taps are short of water. Power and oil are in short supply. The season monsoon is getting shorter by the year. Distances are reducing, between cities that is to say. I'm not too sure about the distances between hearts though which seem to be getting wider.

Then the more dangerous of all shortages known yet, our tempers are getting shorter by the moment. Happiness is evaporating faster than acetone from the surface of this earth. And ofcourse we are all always running short of time. So, we live a short life so full of shortages.

Anyway, I still see some hope and lots of abundance too. To begin with, we just saw shortage itself is so much in abundance. We, the human beings, are becoming abundant as a force at a speed faster than that of any meteorite. The number of religions are growing. And ofcourse Gods have always been in abundance. If you can't please one God, you turn to another. Besides, we are getting more Godmen these days. If one can't please you, get pleased by another.

Human beings growing in abundance
Pollution is in abundance. Frowns are all over in loads. Crimes come in lots. Frequency of earthquakes, tornadoes and hurricanes that have recently rocked the world has increased. Number of divorces are on a rise. Broken hearts are strewn all over. Wars are in huge numbers and counting.

Abundant pollution
Ok moving away from this grim scenario, the economy is on an all time high. The swelling queues at cash counters in malls and outside eateries are evident of this growing prosperity. 

And as if all this abundance couldn't match the amount of shortages, the number of people pouring shit on their heads is growing rapidly. Kangana Ranaut did it just yesterday. I wonder if she drew some inspiration from Malinga. Anyway, even this wasn't abundant enough, it seems, that along came Bipasha with her implants. And we are told like Mukesh Ambani, Bips isn't shy of flaunting her abundance. Well with this latest open show of abundance, I bet many shortages must have been forgotten. I would suggest enjoy this abundance while it lasts.

On another note, if you've been expecting the government will do something to bring abundance to your equity returns and salary packages, simply forget it for now. They are busy cracking the growing abundance of bombs and the bombers. Just when they begin to believe that they have abundant intelligence and evidences about the previous blasts, the hi-tech miscreants strike back very abundantly each time.

Besides, the glittering abundance at Padmanabhaswamy and the limelight abundance at Tihar is also keeping the government engaged. Well don't you think it's abundance galore? Quite a few stuff is in abundance including shortages. What say?

  2. Ofcourse Rama these are much better times...See the abundances I've mentioned. Everything in abundance see?
    Ah! on a more serious note. I wouldn't say these times are bad or not. It's just that like a true-blue journo I've only pointed out to what exists.

  3. with all the shortages and abundances India and the world is still a better place to live right now.most of the corruption and mis deeds were present earlier also, only that media coverage and peoples awareness was less.earlier it used to b wars and massacres in the name of kingdom. Divorces were less as women were born to suffer,did not knew how to demand for her rights and dignity,were more of slaves.i still feel that at any given time,if compared most women will say that they have a better life than their grandmas or even their Mom.i am right now hinting towards well being and facilities.System was never ideal,its only education,libertion,awareness and media which has helped people to know more about the wordly matters.
