Cool dudes and not so cool things they do...

Thursday Jun 16, 2005

Couple of days ago, one of the cool dudes of Bangalore, a fashion guru, was detained in Dubai airport for carrying 2 grams of 'grass'. While the news itslef may not be a surprise in these days, some of the reactions to the event, are truly disturbing. For example, his wife is quoted as saying, among other things, "Every one smokes pot in their life, some time. [so this is not a big deal]". His close friends have said that they would like to see him out early. No one seems to be really concerned about the morality or the lack there of, of the situation. Is anyone concerned about the ill reputation this incident has brought to the country?

I have nothing personal against any of these folks, but am wondering what kind of a society we are in, if such activities are taken this lightly.

I have grown up learning that Virtue comes before everything else. I have grown up reading stories about kings and queens who sacrificed everything to uphold their virtue. This is a land of great people. And it pains when I see that, on this same land, we have celebs who act as if getting caught for carrying narcotics was not a big deal.

Am I the only one who has lost it, I wonder!

Hope our children grow up to be wiser than us!
