Two days state mourning had been declared and an un-declared bandh as well. No schools, colleges, public/private companies will open. My office declared a holiday with compensation on the next Saturday. So, the sun rose at 11am for us. And as usual we hit the TV sets to find the latest news about the procession. To our dismay none of the channels other than Udaya and some NEWS channels were telecasted! A compulsory mourning had been enforced on all people without their consent. So, confined to these channels we saw what and how the proceedings of the funeral are going on. It was mob everywhere, angry fans beating the police and setting buses on fire, destroying ‘our’ property all the way. Why buses? The last time, where a bus was set on fire with people (girls) in Tamil Nadu, the whole of the state erupted! Pathetic work in the name of Fanatics. Shameful act.
“We want to know what really happened!”
Arrey! Watch the news and you’ll get to know what happened, he died of cardiac arrest!
Balls! No answers!
“Look what the govt. is doing. They are still keeping his body on the road.”
Sir! Look around, it is us who are blocking the procession. Side akkappa!
Finally I realized that once a public’s ‘favourite’ figure; you are at public’s disposal. Even at your death, the public decides what has to be done to you! “No family indulgence please!”
Yes, it is a great loss for the state. Legendary actor – priceless contribution for Karnataka and Kannada, but is this the way you all pay tribute and last respects?
Ennamo pongappa!
Politics shouldn't be played this way. Can the IITs pull it? Let's wait and watch!
