Baazigar – Week 12 : Dantewada
By the time most of us are done with our teenage years, we begin our irreversible march towards becoming chronic cynics. We choose our lovers, careers, friends and ambitions – all of it with cynicism at the core of it. We euphemize this with terms like being realistic, pragmatic, mature, etc and we get away with it because the people we are giving this justification to are also a part of this sham. We view election results, rape case proceedings, cricket matches, et al with that same practiced cynicism and hence fail to analyze, evaluate and act. We carry this cynicism to places where it should have no business – the workplace, the first date and, the most significant, the classroom.
