Spreading Terror Among Our Children..!
“…My daughter wanted to know whether we’d have to leave Mumbai..” Shah Rukh Khan.
Shah Rukh Khan spent crores building his bungalow in Mumbai, making it spectacular, showy and also safe for family and himself, yet all the Shiv-Sena leader had to do was threaten the film star and make his little daughter tremble!
Is that what our politicians are doing? Do they spread hate and make children afraid.
“My child look at this wonderful bungalow I have built for you, it’s got a view of the sea, a swimming pool, and look at those guards outside to protect you!”
“Daddy I’m scared!”
“Scared?”
“An old man said boo!”
As I read the statement made by Shah Rukh, I thought of the thousands, nay millions of children who live round the world, and who live in fear: Fear of bomb blasts, fear of riots, fear their dad’s may be killed, mother’s molested, fear of bullets hitting them, of stones being flung at them, oh what is it that today’s kids aren’t afraid off?
“Hey politician, don’t you have children of your own?”
“Yes I do!”
“Don’t they live in fear?”
“No they don’t, they have 24 hours security, black cats, policemen and gun welding guards. Our homes have got bandobasts and barricades and nobody can come within a stone throw of my family!”
“So you frighten other little kids do you?”
“Ha! Ha! Ha!”
I gift a nightmare of terror to these hate mongers.
“I hope your own child gets terrified!”
“Terrified?”
“That you will walk into their bedroom and hear them screaming, daddy, mummy help, help! And you will cry! What is it my child?”
“I am afraid!”
“There is nothing to be afraid off, your daddy has looked after everything! What is there to fear?”
“Look daddy look, see those figures at the window, screaming, squealing, wailing, waving their fists at me, can’t you see them daddy?”
“No!”
“They are the lumps of fear, shivers of terror, trembling of dread you have put into other children’s minds; they have come here to haunt and torment me. They are coming to get me! Help daddy help!”
Such nightmare do I gift the children of those who spread terror among our own..!

its not good to wish terror into the minds and hearts of little kids who shd not be held responsible for their parents mistakes.
