Just read Rashmi's blog on the accident that took place in Mumbai early this week.The accident which left 7 dead & the same one in which the driver may as well walk off scott free.Reminds me of something similar which took place couple of days back on my way back home but not as ghastly as the one which happened in Mumbai.The driver of the car who hit the guy in bike never bothered to even look back but was apparently brought back by the mob after a tough hopeless chase.But after all this hungama our man walks off with nothing - reason being that he stuffed some amount in the injured person's hand.
And what really got me thinking is the fact that the party who got injured is fine with it as the other person has given him money.And sad part is; that he was taken to a hospital nearby by a couple who were passing by in their four wheeler & not by the person who hit him.Wat a stark contrast to the way the guy who met with the accident & the guy who hit him behaved.Made me understand that there are some good souls who actually come forward & help inspite of whatever be their personal reactions to the case maybe.One more incident & one more guy walking free.Don't we see a pattern setting in here.No amount of media publicity is going to help because inspite of everything single citizen fighting against such things we see the prime accused off the loop.I don't blame these folks who don't speak up or take it any further action.Where's the courage to stand up against people who have everything for them & can have every single witness turn hostile.
Phew..back to where i started,it's all about core values & moral ethics you have been brought up with.And in most such cases we see the accused being from a very affluent family.That makes me wonder...

It is a very sad state. Dont know maybe over-population has made people forget the value of LIFE. We tend to value machines and technology more than humans.
Its just the other way around here... there aint many people and hence more value for LIFE.
But then its not just that...at the end of the day..its about what poople are from INSIDE.
But we are MUCH better than the MULLAH INFESTED countries...ramaa.
i agree with u that in today's world no one has the time to think about others and if some one does commit an accident he knows that he has a fair chance of being acquitted after the pat history of high profile accidents in our country where accused is always let free,so no one bothers to speak up against them because of the harassment they might face during the trial but there are people who do stand up and let's applaud there efforts than worry about who do not speak p ,may be they will learn from them
Hi. I read Rashmi's article too and tailed you from there.Ofcourse the moral value differs.What is sounding right to you might not sound right to aomeone else.They might say it is just and accident,people must not be there in the footpath at the first place. They will blame the system,the system will blame the moral values of young-it is an infinite loop.And the sad part is that none of us have the guts to stand up and break the loop and put things right.
