The "meaningless" lyrics by Beatles

Hey people, have you listen to the "I am the Walrus" by Beatles. If not, you better do and kindly pay attention to its lyrics.
John Lennon, who wrote this song, stated that he threw together nonsense lyrics to mess with the heads of scholars trying to dissect "The Beatles" songs. In fact, Lennon got the idea for the oblique lyrics when he received a letter from a student who explained that his English teacher was having the class analyze Beatles songs. Lennon answered the letter; his reply was sold as memorabilia at a 1992 auction.
Here's the song.

It's time to be the leader.

In my earlier post, I have blamed the politicians, or better say the "system" for all the mis-happenings. But look at the bigger picture and I realize that we have also contributed to this. Aren't we part of this system? Aren't we responsible for making the state of the system, it is in today.

Are we truly citizens of India and believe in its well-being. I think, we need to give it a thought. Can we call ourselves the residents of a secular nation, when we make demand for a separate nation, or for that matter speak in regional language. Are we still honest, even when we are not paying our taxes. After every blasts or attacks, we pay homage to those who lost their lives. We participate in big rallies. But after a while, we forget everything.

Here's my take on the situation -

Other blasts, other attacks,
we Indians are quick to act,
we make such a hue and cry,
and make allegations that are not right.

Other blasts, other attacks,
we Indians blame the bureaucrats,
and we make big protests,
that fail to make ever-lasting impact.

Other blasts, other attacks,
we Indians don't realize our mistakes,
aren't we corrupt and dishonest,
so why blame others for attacks.

What I would say is that we have shirked our responsibilities in a big way. So, its a humble request to all my fellow citizens to come forward and make some genuine contribution for the peace process. I think we can make a difference. As someone has rightly put it : "It's not the time to look up to the leaders, it's time to be a leader".

Whom to blame?

While the 3 day high tension drama was being unfolded, people were glued to their television sets. For a few, it was a war but for the majority, it was a sheer act of barbarism. Yes, it was indeed a shameless act and people behind it should not be forgiven. But, now the real question is as to who is responsible for the terror attacks?Is Pakistan to blame? Or is it Al-Qaeda? Or we should point our fingers to US, which promoted these organizations at the first place?

Ask a common man, and he doesn’t hesitate to blame the politician. A politician in the opposition, blames the party in power. The central government blames the state government, and a leader of the state government maintains that “such small activities should not be given due importance in a big nation as ours”.

Agreed, politicians are the major culprits and they should even understand their responsibility and accept it. There was a very nice carton in TOI, some days back. It depicted Shivraj Patil as saying “Why should I resign, this time? This is not the first time, the country is struck with terror attacks.” Ha, ha, ha….

With recent reports coming up that, intelligence agencies were already apprized of the terror attacks, the government should have done something to avert the attacks. Even the task of beefing up security was left to five star hotel owners. In fact, it’s not with the Mumbai attacks. Every time the terrorist strike, reports came up that state government had already been warned of the attacks. Then, why didn’t they take enough measures to prevent them? Look at US. There had been a single attack over there, after 9/11 or for that matter in London after 7/7.

God help India ...
