In the days of yore when honesty and integrity still had their place in society, treachery and disloyalty, and acts of betrayal were done surreptitiously, away from the public glare. But as I saw the thirteen Karnataka MLAs moving out of their Mumbai hotel, on their way to Goa, after having decided to switch floors, now smiling and waving at the crowd, not hiding their heads in shame, ashamed with having betrayed their constituents but actually grinning and in full view of the people outside, I realized that such acts of deception had become an accepted norm in the eyes of the world, at least in our country, if not elsewhere!
They were elected by a people, for the party which had fielded them. They were elected by a people against another party the people were against. They were the representatives of the voice of the people, how then could they have ever thought of acting otherwise?
But even as my TV screen showed their grinning faces and wildly gesticulating hands, I realized that these expressions of glee were directed to an admiring and receptive public outside. Very frankly, you wouldn’t show expressions which the audience did not want. You would not walk out of a court jumping with glee and waving to a crowd after being convicted of murder, because the crowd outside, baying for your blood would lynch you right then and there, even before the custodians of law and order could have done anything otherwise.
But here, thirteen men who had betrayed their people, waved to the crowd, who I am sure waved back at them, or at least were receptive to their triumphant expressions.
Like I said, once upon a time, such deeds were done scrumptiously because people were ashamed.
“Yes, we gave in to our carnal selves, but we are sorry!” showed the expression on the face of the convicted rapist as he was led off to jail.
“I wish I had not killed him!” whispered the killer silently as he looked at the gallows that also silently beckoned him to his punishment.
But there was no remorse in the eyes of these thirteen men. Worse, they looked out of the bus onto our own eyes, and waved because what they saw was a country encouraging and uplifting them for their dastardly act.
What stage have we reached, when betrayal is accepted as a normal?
Lies endorsed as a way of life?
Fake news forwarded even without finding out if it is true or false?
A society that accepts with approval and appreciation, what once was done with shame.
Do remember; we waved back..!

When Trump plans to visit Pakistan, his advisors tell him, “Mr President, Imran has said okay, but you know from whom we need the final okay?”
“Ah yes, their army! Get in touch with the generals and ask if I can come!”
“Mr President, and what about India?”
“Well, the Prime Minister and I share a good rapport!”
“Sir, it is no more in the Prime Minister’s hands whether you can land in Delhi or not!”
“Ye gads, then whose hands is it in?”
“The mob! We’ll have to get in touch with cow vigilant leaders, anti-romeo squads, religious slogan shouting bosses, rapists and journalist shooting hitmen to ask permission sir!”
Sounds ludicrous right?But as slowly and steadily mob rule spreads in the country, it will soon move from lynching of minorities, thrashing of policemen, like what happened to a woman constable yesterday, to, when the voice of the mob will even overrule the will of the government.
Yesterday columnist Shobha De wrote of her driver thrashed unconscious in Mumbai, because his car was in the way of motorcyclists riding in the wrong direction!This, not in some distant suburb but in the city!
Police do move in, sometimes mobsters are arrested, but walk out quickly,garlanded by followers outside.
Mob violence is increasing like fury in our land. We are shocked by stonepelters in Kashmir but cases of lynch mobs and other violent incidents are taken with a pinch of salt since we paint them with communal colours!But mobs have no colours, and like the terrorist, use cowardly tactics to target the innocents, the weak and the vulnerable.
That’s you!
Who has empowered the mob? Why, politicians themselves. They have realized that to get elected they need to get maximum votes fromvote banks, who ask only one thing, “Leave us alone, while we break the law, while we get illegal water connections, while we steal electricity, build double and triple storied hutments, disastrous fire hazards, legally under some act, specially passed for them.
The mobs are from vote banks formed by politicians. But now they are out of control!
How do we, the educated, salaried, tax paying minority counter this? By fighting, shouting till you become hoarse for hundreds and thousands of judicial courts to be set up. Now. Because today if you and I have justice delivered immediately, we will be able to fight mob rule. Tomorrow is too late, and we may actually see Trump or other world leaders getting off their aircraft, greeted first by mob lords and thendown the line by a prime minister or president.
If you don’t want this to happen and if the mob isn’t already at your doorstep, act now..!

No beauty shines better than a good HEART.
Beauty is Power and makeup is something that really enhances that and how to enhance this beauty here are few tips for you.
The result of any makeup product truly depends on the applicator. Try to use a fluffy brush to apply powder it gives a good result.
Always remember that your primer and your foundation should always compliment each other. Both primer and foundation should be of the same base else they will repel each other.
People ask me why do I use my fingers while applying foundation?
The answer is : while applying foundation if you want sheer coverage, you can use fingers and then to give full coverage, use brush and blend it with stippling brush.
Important: Never blend your foundation in an upward direction because most of us have a thin layer of hair on our face and that may look shabby and the hair strands stands out.
It is important to know that loose powder is used to set the makeup in place and make it long lasting.
Incase you have large pores or pimples on your face, it is advised not to use any shimmery blushes, it will make the pores or pimples more prominent.
