Lately, Mr.Sanjay Dutt and Mr.Salman Khan have been making headlines, years and years of trauma, a never-ending sword hanging over their heads.. don't know who really benefits here..
Just looking back on Mr.Sanjay Dutt's life one can't help feeling 'humility' and 'respect' all at once.. who can suffer like this, with one tragedy after another, and still retain the 'goodness' in his heart.. still make people laugh, when he just might have stopped seeing the 'laughter' in life himself..
so is it with Mr.Salman Khan.. with reviews hounding him like two sides of a coin.. on one side a great human being and on the other a proud angry man flouting authority.. don't know if that really is the 'essence' of any human being.. a singular pointer to anything..
and their crimes.. and their sentences.. don't know if they have already paid enough.. more than any normal human being.. with the kind of 'public eye' they are in every moment.. can any of us survive that kind of censure or ridicule? at every given step..
what are these prison sentences meant to solve.. these sentences that are delayed so long that you end up living the punishment every waking moment.. that make life itself a living nightmare.. what would these sentences really solve.. are we so completely ruled by are own laws that they in turn rule US.. and we are unable to change them at a given point.. we who made them in the first place..
when time is changing every moment.. we are evolving.. progressing.. why are laws still always supposed to be the same.. people like Mr.Sanjay Dutt and Mr.Salman Khan who already do so much for 'humanity' as a whole, maybe their 'punishment' would serve a better purpose with their talents 'released' rather than 'imprisoned'.. whatever the number of years of imprisonment.. should instead be changed to 'entertainment'.. live shows fixed for the returns going to charity.. personal performances at orphanages.. old people's homes etc.. lighting up myriad smiles in myriad hearts.. seeing their favourite stars.. right beside them..
a 'light' that would heal each heart.. even their own.. whatever crimes we might want to discredit them with.. no heart can remain untouched, in such close proximity to innocent and pure souls..

Zahir,
Thank you for this post. It really means a lot that you point out the positive character traits. There are many days when I have trouble convincing myself of my virtue. So I can't tell you how much this post meant to me.
Thank You

we are all protesting every moment, at some mishap in our lives.. whether big or small.. petulant.. pompous.. like the world owes us something.. not ourselves.. but to go through life trying to come to terms with one trauma after another.. with all it's ups and downs.. to somehow rise above it.. to face yourself.. to live with yourself.. and laugh for everyone around.. when life itself becomes one big 'protest' making you the alchemist.. and the element.. all at once.. it's a feat most can't ever imagine.. and pray to God don't have to undergo.. can feel the pain of a tortured soul.. it's a shame to humanity.. that we can't recognize 'gold' when we see it.. and look for the midas touch..
