Yes, strange things surprise us. But when strange things happen commonly, either one gets used to them or grow in curiosity!
As there have been some strange experiences of late, I have grown in curiosity, to enquire and find coherence and meaning.
When I returned to the sight half an hour later, the wasps had disappeared. The strange things might have a meaning.
Today the farmers in New Delhi took a tractor procession, which turned violent and ugly. It is almost sixty days since they have been protesting and staying in the open under freezing climate.
How is that the government could think that they can be tolerant and patient after such an enduring wait to get a response to their representation!
How is that the farmer leaders could take procession on the Republic Day and expect it to be peaceful when thousands are involved! They are exhausted people, who according to normal human psyche cannot be rational or behave mindful of the inconvenience they cause to the rest of the civil life!
The government and the farmers, to me behaved strangely leading to the distressing events of today! It happened on the Republic Day! A republic is a civil society 'of the people, by the people and for the people'. I wish that the government and the farmers would see each other as partners in civil freedom and accountability.
I wish soberness would dawn on both parties soon!
