Being a perfect ZOMBIE - 822

                                ZOMBIE 

JUST THE OTHER DAY I WAS INTO A GAME OF SCRABBLE WITH MY GRANDSON . HE HAD THE LETTERS Z , B, E , B , M  , L  AND I  WITH HIM AS HIS SEVEN LETTERS .

THOSE WHO HAVE PLAYED A  GAME OF SCRABBLE , I AM SURE ARE AWARE AS TO HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO MAKE USE OF THE LETTER    " Z " .

HOWEVER GOOD ONES VOCABULARY MAY BE ,  MAKING USE OF Z WITH THE OTHER LETTERS IN HAND ON  THE BOARD IS ALWAYS A BIG  PROBLEM . THIS IS MORE SO AS  THERE ARE NOT TOO MANY WORDS WHICH  MAKE USE OF THE LETTER Z .

MAKING USE OF THE FREE LETTER " O " ON THE BOARD , MY GRANDSON HAD FORMED THE WORD    --        ZOMBIE .

IT IS ONLY FAIR TO ADMIT THAT I WAS RATHER SURPRISED AT MY GRANDSON FORMING THIS WORD  AND WAS NOT EVEN SURE IF THE WORD WAS THERE IN THE OXFORD ENGLISH  LANGUAGE DICTIONARY .

A QUICK GOOGLE CHECK GAVE ME THE ANSWER AND THE MEANING OF ZOMBIE :- 

1) A WILL- LESS AND SPEECHLESS HUMAN 

2 ) A PERSON RESEMBLING A LIVING DEAD 

3 ) A MIXED DRINK MADE OF SEVERAL KINDS OF RUM , LIQUOR OR FRUIT JUICE AND HERBS 

This set me thinking , we all seem to be leading a ZOMBIE type existence . The LIQUOR and DRUGS available have made us all into ZOMBIES . 

Nothing absolutely nothing seems to stir us any more .

So what if a student is Raped in a Premier Educational Institution and AN  all out efforts is made to hide the SIR involved .

So what if SHIT is mixed in Drinking water in a village . 

So what if there are mass deaths due to the consumption of Spurious Liquor.

So what if there is a deterioration in the Law and Order Situation 

So what if the Promises made in the  Manifesto are not met .

So what if Sand and Minerals are looted and thousands of Truckloads of the same are finding their way into other States .

So what if Medical Waste from Kerala are dumped into the neighbouring District of Tenkasi and Tirunelveli in  Tamilnadu .

So what if EB Readings are not taken every month as Promised 

So what if Property Taxes , EB Charges are increased Manifold .

So what if our School Education System is in dire straits .

So what if the Retirement benefits are not given to the Transport Staff .

So what if the Beliefs and everything that we hold as Sacred are Trampled upon .

SO WHAT IF ALL THE PROMISES MADE  DURING THE ELECTION CAMPAIGN WHICH COULD BENEFIT THE COMMON MAN FINANCIALLY IN A BIG WAY  ARE NOT MET 

So what if  no developmental projects of the Central Govt find the approval of the State .

So what if there are so MANY .  MANY  other things which we know are wrong .We are happy to keep our EYES AND EARS CLOSED AND BE THE PERFECT 

                               ZOMBIE                                          

WE SELL OUR VOTING RIGHTS FOR A PALTRY SUM OF MONEY AND ARE HAPPY TO REMAIN
