THE WHITE TIGER

One fine morning i opened my eyes.I was thinking again as usual .Last night i was going through the last few pages of the "MAN BOOKER" of 2008 ...THE WHITE TIGER.You know what a "WHITE TIGER " means in the literary sense .......it stands for a outstanding character.While i went to bed i was still thinking about the antagonist cum protgonist.Whether he was right in killing Mr. Ashok or was he a hardcore criminal .Have you been following the DELHI edition of THE INDIAN EXPRESS ..."New Delhi: Cop goes missing "..."10 YEAR OLD RAPED BY HER FATHER"...."CANNIBALS SENTENCED TO DEATH "...."AARUSHI SHARMA MYSTERY DEEPENS"..blah blah blah .
I just wandered deep into my thoughts as i waited my roomate to finish her turn ,so that i could go in to take my bath.
I think and think again ......and keep thinking and i reach a conclusion ..i dont know how sanity approves it .....BALRAM HALWAI did it right .The murder was well -devised and appropriate.He murdered his so-called suave boss ....barely thinking about what would happen to his family ........I know what you would say now ...that he should have stuck to him bare minimum salary ....sent half of it home and lived like another dirty worm in the drain who lived and died for nothing .
But ....he lived ...he lived for himself .....a lonely life though(Anyway he was lonely .......) ...and absolutely MADE IT ...whatever it was to him ....getting the best blonde or making 7 times the money he had eloped with .I feel that was his right ..he never got what he deserved .....He was pushed out of the school .....he had to clean the "ARSES" of his so-called masters,he had to live like a shodden animal just metres apart from the palatial chambers where his masters lived like kings .

And why ..i would like to quote "SOME MEN ARE BORN GREAT AND SOME BORN TO BE THEIR SLAVES ".Isnt it .
Every morning as you open your eyes ,every morning that you head to your workplace ,and every evening you come and see the faces of your loved ones everyone expects you to flash a smile on your face ,a big one , a confirmation that everything is safe and secure ..and if by chance some thing looks out of place ........no one even cares for a while before they come heavily on you .WHY AM I NOT HUMAN ?????? Is my life supposed to be perfect like the blonde travelling in a PORCHE flashing her tiara and her sunglasses .Oh no i forgot ..i wasn't born great ....Just that my father was not corrupt enough to hoodwink people and today i face the disaster ....just because he couldnt steal .
And those who did ...sorry no offences meant ....their beautiful lady florence like daughters ,travelling in those beautiful cars ,not even a speck of sunlight touching their golden colored skin ....look at them .Today i bear the dire consequences of my father's honesty .........And i am in no mood to do the same .
The crux of the matter is ..all of us ..we have reached a point ..where we dont respect anything..where love doesnt matter ,diligence doesnt matter ,honesty doesnt matter ....all that matters is what appeals to your flesh ..........
So what if BALRAM HALWAI muredered his boss .His act expurgated the "SINS" ....i.e honesty ...of his father .He absolved all his generations of ......pain ,humilition and oppression .....once and for all .
Yes for once and for all ...I am not a murderer ...you are not as well ...but at the end of the day who cares ..........if my a** gets kicked everyday ..should i hesiatate to do the same ...if i do ..i am undoubtedly GOD ..if i dont i BET i am the finest of all humans ......No offences meant
