Post Apocalypse I went for Shopping and I couldn't believe...

What I am about to say, take it as a drop of water in the Ocean. Any resemblance of public figures, common man, religious believes, economy and politics are highly coincidental.

“You can’t buy happiness, but you can buy coffee and that’s a kind of the same thing”. “A cup of coffee makes everything better”. The billboard across the highway flaunts H & M’s eco-conscious label in flashy yellow and grey. PM Modi urged the citizens of India for the vaccination program. A hope down the horizon?

The secret to any successive government is not its followers, but a flock of manipulated society. From “Good days are ahead to save daughter Andolan” slogans. We are the eternal scapegoat of the wolf in sheep’s clothing. The Indian landscape is now a testing ground for the U.S – China Trade war. Not to mention Facebook’s promise in keeping our data safe.

The ambitious “5 Trillion” Hindutva economy always remained icing on the cake. Whilst, unemployment and suicide rates have soared above. Professor Gautam Saha’s Facebook posts is such a banger considering the number of intellectuals who come down to join the discussion on right doings and wrongdoings. A post shared saved a child from malnutrition.

No one knows other than Niftians that the textile industry is the 2nd most polluting industry in the world. Whilst, the remaining 99% agrees that it is okay to watch explicit websites and self pleasure oneself. Greenwashing is much similar to brainwashing except for the monopoly nature of the corporations claiming they are sustainable and eco-conscious.

Still, Swayamsidha’s relatives wants her to get married soon. She is ambitious. That brings me to another topic about the Role of Women in Indian society. The girl across the table flaunts her “F.E.M.I.N.I.S.T” t-shirt. Little knowledge she has on knowing the percentage of women in the garment manufacturing industry being exploited daily.

The value of 58Crore is far greater than 3000Crore because the faith the people of Kerala have in their government blessed the Maharashtra and Goan people with a critical supply of Oxygen cylinders against the rising number of Covid patients.

Post-apocalypse I went shopping. The coffee parlor weighed coffee over my happiness on a banner. But it is kind of the same thing. “A cup of coffee makes everything better”. H & M flaunts its eco-conscious label across the highway and then the T.V channel announced the citizens above the age of 18 to get vaccinated.

It is the faith that people have and the hope for a better tomorrow to triumph mankind over the evil and hard times. Little they know what lies ahead nor I couldn’t believe my coffee turned cold.
