I have been doing some re-visiting of my old thoughts.... you know like a pensieve! Why am I visitng old thoughts, pretty simple, I seem to be suffering from a recurring malady - mental fatigue. No no... I have not taken a medical opinion:). This is my own immense wisdom!
Cause & Effect - I perceive my brain is unable to sustain the same thought for more than five minutes. It keeps wandering off at a tangent from what I am supposed to be thinking! Effect - a small concept note I was supposed to prepare has taken me 5 days and it is yet to see the light of the day. I know what I want to say, but have not yet gotten around to saying it. Every time I open that particular document, I am supposed to be working on, my brain switches gear. Phew! I perceive a very unhappy session chair at the end of the day!
I can't go back to the session chair complaining mental fatigue... so here I am revisiting old-thought and typing out my current thoughts before I forget it! slightly modified Ghajini ishtyle - on my blog!

Coming to terms with
Bhopal: I wrote before - I write again... estimated 20000 died, still many suffer but strangely - our justice system calls it criminal negligence - that is it!
Forget justice for dead it doesn't matter. Ok we don't need to care or worry about the ones who are going to be born with defects - afterall the political entity has decreed that there is no proof that the leakage of Methyl isocynate on the fateful night of 2 December 1984 casue the birth defects. And without the political will the scientific community will not be able to prove it either. Strange science!
And the thousands who are still living with the after effects of the exposure - a strongly motivated medical community can point out old age and other addictions as the cause. After all it is just collateral damage - imagine the amount of investments that international corporations are planning in India, imaging thenumber of new jobs created, the better lifestyle we willbe able to afford - the international entity in question has even set up shop in Chennai. I wonder which part of the locality this international corporation will set up its industrial facility. I need to ensure that my near and dear ones are not living anywhere close to it.
Ofcourse, in the era of forget it - old story, brush it under the carpet of dead, rotting bodies of the victims. Lets ignore the past, let us forget all lessons we were supposed to learn, let us forge new and better relationship with such entities and ofcourse get our comeuppance.
Lets come to terms with criminal negligence!

Ambition
Ambition is a strange word -it means so many different things for so many people.My neighbours are off to the "Land where dreams come true." A lifetime's dream come true - all harwork pays and ambition comes true.
I was thinking how disappointed I would feel if my child decides to go and settle abroad in particular in the "Land where dreams come true." Apart from it being the far far away land I would feel somehow belittled if he couldn't make his dreams come true here in his birth place... and ofcourse it is also goes against my natural insticts to have someone I care about in that country I write about.
:)
But that apart if he still wanted to go abroad or make his life in the "Land where dreams come true" then that will be his choice !!!
