NOISE!!!???

Why is it that people are so obsessed with creation of noise these days??? Be it any of the smallest or biggest of functions...we have loud music blaring from those pillars of loud-speakers that are easily available to create nuisance!!!

Seriously..a few days back i heard the loudest music that i have EVER heard in my entire life!!!And even if that voice was very 'madhur' and even though it may have been the best singer in the world, at those decibel levels and at that pitch and at 1 a.m. in the night it was hardly melodious; and if i may say, it was rather a "heart-throbbing" (in the literal sense) or heart-thumping or heart-stopping or ..whatever nuisance to all those peacefully sleeping souls...

That day they managed with recorded noise, while this time cometh a bright idea - that of using the loudest and persistent cracker bursting noise!!! What's with these people??? "Aur ye sab raat ke us peher mein jab har seedhe insaan ko sukhad meethi nidraa aati hai". Perfect timing!!!

God knows when and how they will understand, that on religious occasions by playing the bhajans louder, it's not that the God's are going to hear it. The people who you respect and idolize(with due respect) are not gonna come back and bless you for playing loud songs in their praise! The happiness you feel on good things in your life is not going to double by blaring out noise from loud-speakers and getting drunk n dancing in front of the same speakers in a crazy manner. Do all this, if you have to, in your own home for heaven's sake and not on the roads!!! And by the way, no couple will have a happy married life just because the best and most noise-making, polluting and garbage-creating crackers were burst during the 'pheras'!!! Phew...! anyway... Jaago aur jagaao...but not-this way!!!

Alas... as of now...it seems it will only get louder by the day :( unless some strong action and good sense prevails...or some activists take charge of this for the common good rather than their hideous selfish political interests... Jaago aur jagaao...and yes-this way...
