From the Bottom of My HEART: April 2015

I always wonder how money can make a person so insensitive that he/she acquire the power to exhaust all the bloody levels of antipathy.

Quite recently and unfortunately, an earthquake of magnitude 7.8 shook the earth of Nepal.

On one hand volunteers and army men from the various Countries including India are working day in day out to minimize the loss of life and property in Nepal, whereas on the other hand some business firms are shamelessly leveraging the situation.

According to Lenskart one can celebrate with "Shaking it off like this earthquake" offer by purchasing Vincent Chase sunglasses for Rs 500!!!

Meanwhile, American Swan comes up with an "Earth Shattering Offer".

As if this was not ENOUGH!

Troika Consulting moves a step ahead showing their apathy, rather antipathy by offering to hire people for their social media team if they had updated their status online, while evacuating the building during the quake.

How can someone be so misleading as to reward people for updating their status online instead of urging them to save their and others' lives first?

Though LensKart and American Swan apologised for earthquake related promotions after facing criticism, I am unaware of any such news from Troika.

Another recent act depicting the absolute lack of humanity is the case of, presumably the suicide of a farmer named Gajendra Singh.

I personally didn't expect our very own Aam Aadmi Party to scale such Anti-Aam Aadmi heights!
These people carry on with their rally for the so called "FARMERS' Right" absolutely unmoved by the sight of a dead, hanging farmer.
Meanwhile a few people were busy clicking pictures of "The beautiful sight" of a farmer hanging down the tree.

Absolutely Shameful

I never thought that the lust of Power and Money will win over Humanity in such a cruel way.
I never thought that people will not only turn a blind eye towards those in misery, but also try and leverage on their situation to earn profit and power.
I never thought the firms adding to our GDP and people leading our society will fall down to this level.

And I never thought but still I am witnessing, right before my eyes, two extreme faces of the same society.

Alas! this situation reminds me of these lines from a famous hindi song:

Dekh tere sansaar ki haalat kya ho gai bhagawaan kitana badal gaya inasaan, kitana badal gaya inasaan

sooraj na badala, chaand na badala, na badala re aasamaan kitana badal gaya inasaan, kitana badal gaya inasaan

dekh tere sansaar ki haalat kya ho gai bhagavaan kitana badal gaya inasaan, kitana badal gaya inasaan sooraj na badala, chaand na badala, na badala re aasamaan kitana badal gaya inasaan, kitana badal gaya inasaan

Hindi Lyrics @ LyricsMasti.Com

I urge you all (and of course myself) to be always the one lending a helping hand and Never-Ever even think about leveraging on someone's unfortunate situation. For the sake of basic humanity, at least.

Finally...

"Be the Change you want to see in the World."
