If cricket was the opium of the masses, in bygone days; then can one safely say, these days, that the following are the virtual opium of the classes/the ever increasing elitist-masses?!! :
a). The Net! (the name says it all! it is a trap! bachke rehna re baba! can't say we weren't warned! it was there in the name itself, right from day-1! the internet exterminates the inner consciousness, if one is not satark, or lets oneself go down the virtual spiral staircase!).
b). Social networking! (which is full on anti-social fellows!).
c). Parties!
d). Fashion events, which are silly at the best and downright obscene, at the worst.
e). Twenty20 cricket matches!
f). Following the debauched life of so-called stars/celebrities! the uninhibited icons, who have it all, flaunt it all, and go to dust, early, burying their intellectual powers, sans any sense of proportion or discretion!!
g). The media flash news!! just get trapped in this chain, and waste a lot of time?! think, think, prani..
h). Advertisements who have stopped going for the jugular, instead head straight for the temporary homes of distressed brains, these days, the crotch!
i). Entertainment! euphemism for anything goes!
j). Gadget ownership/frequent updation!
k). Mobile connectivity / inner disconnectivity and discord!
m). The increasingly seriously silly concept of being a global citizen, and losing one's sense of identity/astitva; and slowly stop being patriotic or true to one's own roots, out of a mistaken sense of getting ahead/modernising/keeping up with the roses and bushes!
n). Debunking parents and all elders; they are always wrong!
o). Mental cruelty to those who are powerless.
p). Hating those who don't belong/dare to be different/dismissing every sensible criticism with the strident cry of moral-policing! (btw, what does that make them? immoral thieves?!!).
q). Objectification of the genders! the mind, soul and the spirit are no longer important?!
r). HEDONISM, complete and full-blown in this increasingly materialistic world!
