As i went past a bus shelter

As i went past a bus shelter that summed the essence of trees  " Plant a tree this monsoon", the logical extension would have been plant a tree this monsoon, forget all the row over cartoons. The row that has emanated over cartoons and their appearance in textbooks that came in cartons would subside over a period of time not before each constituent has had his say. Cartoons first made their grand entry into papers which during that time were read by students and those who had gone past student days. Now the row is over their appearance in textbooks as these are not just read by students even by those adults who at one stage had been students with a different sentiment and sense. Row is particularly over adults and their proximity to textbooks which for a better part stays with them than students. Because adults and those waiting to join the group with an adult frame of mind truly believe their enlightenment lies in these textbooks as papers have long ceased to have authentic looks. As for the students their claim to fame is that textbooks alone can't be sole preserve of them ; the adults in their family and those in the neighbourhood should get an equal opportunity to read and rehearse them.

The grouse of the adults is the papers don't carry the inspiration material and time and again they have to refer to school textbooks to energise and sensitise themselves with the surroundings. AS cartoons would be deleted in due course, with many believing there is nothing offensive about them, it is the sheer number of tv debates that has given the entire wavering row the sizeable sum. As one moves from this row to the front row of those willing to quit and willing to lit, it has often been suggested that an offer to quit is made by those holding office or those pretending to offer some services.  There is a contrast between those quitting and those willing to quit. One who quits smoking, morning walk or morning wail essentially does so by placing an insertion in a local newspaper read by near and dear ones. Charges are not exorbitant and the insertion explains the clinical methodology employed by the quitter to quit from a particular range of activity. Against this tribe of quitters, there is another tribe that believes in unleashing reign of terror and their ability to quit and shiver is made possible  by forces of nature which don't succumb to such creatures. Different set of nation states have played host to such creatures who by virtue of having the expertise of turning black to white have the uncommon confidence to stage a fight. Their will in the initial period may look strong but in the far end they would have to give in to the rules of nature that says staging a street mayhem for long   would get them entirely wrong. Even the platform of annihilation set by them can't be used by others to make it a fashion.

Times we live in and the occasional thunder we grapple with there are occasional provocateurs who prod others to create mayhem. THe mayhem of this magnitude doesn't have the aura of a flute; it is out and out crude. The paper may give you the confidence to spread your charisma, where is the need to procrastinate the unfolding situation through a platform that a black to white entity presented as an offering. The paper cruise can coast you to some distance but eventually if cessation in provoking others is not called for you can be deprived of substance.

THe black to white may have sensed the tide and believed that creating mayhem was his birthright. Even in his wildest dreams the black to white would not have realised that all money that he showered on others failed to get him the necessary gears. As this episode comes to an end hope there are no more sessions where a commoner has to bend. On occasions one can bend for tv debates which are therapeutic in value and no waste. But this therapy can truly be awakening and keep all happy if tv debates are broadcast between 5 to 8 in the morning when most of us are busy changing our nappy.
