Mistakes

Many apologies as I am not in a very pleasant mood today, situations which have occurred yesterday are still heavy on my mind. Sometimes people make stupid mistakes and the consequences of those mistakes shall remain with them throughout their lives, not only them but every other person who is with them gets affected.

However, sometimes we get really lucky and with the Grace of God and with His Divine intervention, miraculously, everything gets settled in the most peaceful manner.

Fortunately I haven’t made any silly mistake but I have recently seen the side-effects of ridiculous actions of others.

My uncle once told me that there are two kinds of people, one who learn from their own mistakes and others who learn from the mistakes made by others. The latter ones are the wisest.

There are many discussions on several forums about having friendly relations with our neighbouring country India. We are so enthusiastic in this friendship that our channels have started to freely air Indian soaps/ TV plays, our advertisements with their actors and so much more.

There was a time not too long ago when in our movies we used to secretly record songs by Indian artists with a local name because we had a strict policy. We now have Katrina and Shah Rukh Khan flaunting in a soap ad, yet only couple of years earlier this brand had a clear policy to make ads with local film actresses.  Now due to our loose policies international corporations do not even care who and what they are showing us, it saves them money effortlessly. I have no idea what has compelled us to go from there to here.

I am hundred percent in favour of peace and having good relationship with India, however, I believe this relationship should be on the basis of equality and with utmost dignity. What we see is an unnecessary eagerness on our part and quite cold attitude from our neighbour.

It is frustrating to see that our people are quickly loosing their place in the show business and Indian actors have almost taken over.

We as a country have lost quite a lot- our pride, our dignity. We need to wake up and realize that if do not take immediate action we might, God Forbid, loose our presence in the world.

With my best regards…
