AIDS Day With A Bang

I observed the AIDS day on its next day at Battisputali. The roads were blocked; the speakers honked the beats out of the neighbourhood. It was Robin who was appropriately singing with his twisted Nepali accent, the song, Bhoolma Bhulyo. I am not sure the people who gathered there had a clue what the concert was about. Not because it wasn’t being announced over the microphone but they all seemed drunk, drugged whatever and in excellent party mood. The very fact that WE don’t worry much about things that happen around us has been the root cause of our lack of mental and national development. We just don’t care as long as we are not being directly hit by a burning train. AIDS, corruption, litter disposal, general awareness etc all bear the same story. Just a handful of people die with AIDS every year. More people get killed by not washing their hands after wiping their bottoms.

Robin popped out funny practical jokes between the songs. After playing a few songs he was gasping and sweating. He takes off his jacket which the crowd follows with a loud cheer. He then addresses that with…… “I am gonna take all my clothes one by one.. even when I get totally naked you will (crowd) still see a condom on my thing… “..ha ha ha….

Each and every one jumped with laughter. They all seemed to understand what he was trying to say. May be this is how messages need to be imparted to the general public. May be they understand when it’s downright rude and crude. Because all the earlier announcements by the cute lady MC dodged peoples notice.

Jokes aside yapping about wisdom and genius ideas is not taking the situation anywhere. Every grumpy citizen of this country should write down their ethics on a piece of paper and stick it on their body spray can. A little fun here and their wont harm anybody or the economy of this country but lets start thinking about the greater good and future. And never forget to wear a condom before having sex with a third person. I have nothing to say about idiots who can’t afford a syringe of their own to get high. They don’t want to live anyway.
