It’s late. It’s obsolete July 1, 2009

The past two days have been momentous in terms of news.
Bandra – Worli sea link finally opened after over a decade of expectations and ofcourse, it’s cost a fortune.
Babri masjid report was finaly tabled. It took 17 years for a report. Just a few insignificant developments happened over this passage of time. The incumbent premier has moved on to his heavenly abode and the main protagonist is meandering listlessly in what seems the twilight of his life and career. And ofcourse, we have had quite a score of riots and carnage in the meanwhile.
These two events – one that held a promise of skyrocketing a city’s aspirations and the other, that had the questions an entire nation’s conscience had to come to terms with – have prolonged themselves to obscurity and insignificance.
Mumbai has changed. India has moved on. The sea link will become an opportunity that was lost to time. The report will become a political placard that will get lost with time.
Once again, we are late in time. And once again, we are celebrating it.
What’s with us? Till when will we defend our mediocrity. And revel in it too.
