Thank you ! Thank you ! Thank you !
Your responses and their endorsement gives me strength and courage. Your concern for my safety, your advise on my conduct, your appreciation of my work, bring a spring in my feet every morning. They make me look forward to an exciting day. A day full of hard conditions, uncertain decisions and indifferent moments.
It is difficult to imagine or even assess the strength of one singular man. History is full and complete with endless examples. If I possess merely an infinitely minuscule portion of that strength, you must know that it comes from your affection and support.
So, Somya, Ibrar Hussain, Ali Ahmad, Raksha Naidoo, Pritam Dutta, Santosh, Alshaaaaaaaaa, Kuldip, Swati Pai, Madhu, Shameera and K., thank you for being there in my life. You I have randomly picked. There are millions of others on the blog that I cannot address now, but will. Your confirmation of my actions is cathartic for me.
There are some however, that do not totally agree, but express indignance at the fact that I pay attention to anamolies and criticism and negetivity and in particular to named media. They feel I give them a greater visibility than they deserve and that they, in doing what they are doing with me, are indeed doing with deliberate intent to increase their own profile.
Elisabeth, in particular, even though she is a foreigner, expresses similar sentiment.
I am fascinated by the belief that the media is that one entity that exhibits everything that is true and correct and worthy. I am fascinated by the thought that they live by the adage ‘ because the truth involves us all’. I am fascinated by the fact that there is one institution in this entire world that truly are our keepers and our conscience. I am fascinated by the fact that they continue to stand alone and tall and incorruptible. I am fascinated by their unbreakable code of conduct. I am fascinated that in this bias world, they remain steadfastly unbiased. I am fascinated that in a world full of personal agenda, they are without agenda. I am fascinated that their sense of equality is unrivaled. I am fascinated by their theory of placement, of headlining, of editorial by lining. I am fascinated that they are apolitical and never take sides. I am fascinated by their endless bank of ‘reliable sources’.
But most of all I am fascinated that they can achieve all this and still remain human !!
This is a rare community. They are the true idols and icons of the modern world. They need to be at the top of the power lists they so painstakingly compile. They, who are beyond questioning, beyond any repair. They are our modern Gods and Goddesses !
When all else fails and falls around us, turn to them. They shall have all the answers. They will guide us, advise us, correct us and put us on the path to salvation. They will teach and educate us, feed and dress us. Accommodate us and build us into better humans just like them.
God Media, we are on bended knee at your alter !!
Thunder and lightning ! The roll of the drums and clash of cymbals and the melodious voices of chapel choir, rising in divine crescendo up to the heavens !!
Happy every one !! Such eulogy !! Such devotion. So intense our submission and respect !!
Really now ??
I type this because I cannot speak,
My tongue being firmly in cheek.

Sorry I tried ! Tongue refused to leave cheek !
