Anger is only one letter short of ‘D’anger

You cannot ignore people, small or big ,under any circumstances ......

Any person who sacrifices, all down the ages, has to suffer. It has been proved that men and women of great power and personality who have triumphantly helped a group of people, indirectly have also ignited jealousy and hatred among another group, may it be your blood relation or otherwise. Meaning thereby if you want to show your benevolence, you have to continue to do it 100% till you last on this earth. For e.g. In a joint family if one brother does take care of the family and takes charge of all for 11 months 15 days in a year, the family members will take it as routine. But if he does not for 15 days, they will point out as well as describe vividly of his 15 days inaction. On the other hand if one brother does not do anything for same 11 months 15 days, even if he does a little here and there for last 15 days, that will be glorified by the family members and recognized in the society. In a broader spectrum, Jesus Christ, Joan of Arc, Mahatma Gandhi and likes have been targeted by the society to have a painful death even if they have given the best of their lives in the interest of the society It is a group of people whose interest is affected by the inaction of the person at the command, who react negatively to the situation. Thus perhaps the celebrities ,rich and famous are not only responsible for their actions that they take, but also are accountable for the inaction and the indifference that they manifest unconsciously or subconsciously to their near and dear ones.

Now take the case of Mahajans, one has to see if he has been accountable for the inaction that he did either consciously or subconsciously for which he has paid the price.He reportedly muttered after the shot.. ."what sin I have committed?" While Praveen says that he regrets but does not repent, he can only explain this riddle. Perhaps the learning point for all of us is you can not ignore people, small or big ,under any circumstances. Prabhavati Mahajan their mother, stayed inside crying for the eldest son, who left home never to return, and the youngest who never showed up.

The Mahajans were simple, Venkatesh and Prabhavati, their three sons and two daughters. Venkatesh Mahajan (Father a school master) died of a heart attack in 1972. Soon after Pramod took his graduation degree, he began teaching at the local village school to make ends meet. Being the eldest of the siblings, it is said that "He brought up his brothers and sisters like his own children,"He began his political career as a pracharak in the Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh in the early 70s and went to jail in the emergency years. After that, there was no looking back. Pravin was barely nine, said family members, when Pramod Mahajan had to assume the role of father figure.As for property — a factor that is said to have been a bone of contention — the Mahajans owned 10 to 12 acres of agricultural land in Osmanabad and a plot of land in their hometown Ambejogai. Both properties were later donated to an educational institution.It is said, that, Pravin Mahajan’s relationship with his famous elder brother Pramod, who brought him up after their father Venkatesh Mahajan’s death, was strained in recent times. Pravin wife Sarangi, two children, Kapil and Vrushali the twins, students of Standard XII , were living unobtrusively in Jhanja Apartments at Damani estate in Thane for a decade. The couple's friends said Pravin had taken his family out for dinner on Friday. He left home before dawn on Saturday without informing his wife.He left Thane, some 35 kms away, around six in the morning. He reached worli almost half past seven, and then the fatal incident of him shooting three bullet on his own brother……The news papers said, Praveen told the police, he shot his brother as he was ‘boiling with anger’, for the past several days, as the BJP leader was ignoring him, and in prison, on hearing the news of Pramods death, he just smiled.In this Kaliyug as have read….its truly happening….brother killing brother….hope there would be peace everywhere…..Hope such incidents don’t happen again….. Pramod Mahajan was called the Laxman of BJP…

Most happening politicians, or national leaders, either meet with an accident or is assassinated?? Mahatma Gandhi, Indira Gandhi, Rajeev Gandhi….Let that be….Then there are accidents….too which are unforgettable are that of Madhavrao Scindia , and Rajesh Pilot…Untimely ones… Live this alone..this day politics…Take the case of Sree Krishna or Rama or Laxmana…Remember how Laxmana died??


Thought for the day: The extreme case of infatuation which turns to be hatred in an unusual condition, the human mind works at the highest level of energy, either positive or negative. Anger is only one letter short of ‘D’anger….. You can not ignore people, small or big ,under any circumstances.

Just the next day, there was an article by T.J.S. George, Indian Express, 7th May 2006, which came as an answer to the above question which was:

IT was the finality of event, more than the horror of its circumstance that made each departure a turning point in the nations history. Each death was a reminder of the powerful hold of individuals on our country. Surely history is not a distillation of rumours but a play of personalities. Now another player is suddenly gone….How death changes the course of history! Sanjay Gandhi’s death instantly altered the fortunes of the Indira Gandhi family and, with that, the dynastic destiny of India. If Madhav Rao Scindia and Rajesh Pilot had not died in their prime, would the Congress party be what it is today? If Indira and Rajiv Gandhi had not been killed?

Thought for the day: Death is common to all, and nothing lasts for ever…….Just the way differs......Everything is planned.......To quote Shakespear, the world is a stage, and all men and women mere players.....
