B 3 How many martyrs do we need ?

 B3 How many martyrs do we need ?Before we make 'quality ' and 'safety' our virtues. 

 Case in point , Air India Express crash. What ever the reason may be but if the airstrip would not have  been a table top , we would have had much less casualties . 

This was not the first incident , sadly , may be not the last . Committies will be formed , recommendations will be given and......forgotten.

We have a culture of 'Bhagwan bharose' .(God will take care of it ) .Politics, red tape and bueaurocracy dominate over critical measures of quality and safety. 

Heroic act of the pilot. Captain was the best man in the profession , co pilot too. Precious lives lost . 

We see negligence in so many walks of life . Train accidents, building and bridge collapses, fires, stampede . Hapless citizens loose lives, soon we move on. 

Also, cant help but write about Sushant Singh Rajput. 

At the risk of sounding cynical , the only thought I have is , if a politician is involed , only the politician will win. 

Latest example, Vikas Dubey.  . In the criminal - cops- politician nexus , the politician won. Cops were killed , criminal was silenced .

  2. Very well expressed.But we need people to listen and take stringent measures to save valuable lives.And not to forget the corona warriors:the doctors; nurses ;residents of medical college;the police n sannitization workers who have been working tirelessly since March 2020 till date; several losing their lives but the safest past is our short lived memory.

  4. Very well expressed mona...One another example of the apathy shown by the civic authorities is the helpless condition of the so called maximum city Mumbai during monsoon...Here too so often precious lives lost, properties damaged ...As you rightly said in this country everything is really Ram bharose..
