On the battlefield!!!

In the previous post Mr. AA told that five of us went on a 24 hr long hunger strike supporting the medical students who were already there for around 90 hrs.

Here are some snaps of our effort.








We know more than anyone else that this effort of ours was too small in comparison with what the medical students had been doing; but then it was far better than not giving a damn about it (what the majority of society has decided to about yet another important issue).

In front of us at least 5-6 people who were on strike from the beginning had fainted. We are too 'weak' to even get there! Anyway the media was present there throughout and got excited whenever a new group of supporters came in for the medical students. There were some celebrities that came in for encouraging the brave students. Good speeches, good thoughts, but finally all of them went back in their AC cars, satisfied with the free media attention they got!

I am not sure if a hunger strike is the right way of showing protest, but what else could one do if not this to show denial of what could be the stupidest decision of the cabinet. (Or is ot about to get more stupid?). One way could be to present an alternative plan for the cause that the government is superficially promising to fulfill, but even if some people capable of doing that actually get through it, I am not sure anyone would listen.

So what should we do? Wait for things to get so bad that only a Vendetta could sort them out using the only way which ascertains a solution!
