StuBB tHE bUTt.......................................

I could here the sound of traffic clearly but i was confident dat no one was watchin me. So confidently i started , but there was a conscience within me sayin that wat i was doin was wrong but i never cared to listen to it. And all of a sudden there was a pang of gulit that engulfed me and i was thinkin am i doing the right thing?????? Not only guilt but also fear wat if anyone watches and complains???? If i am handed over to the police den wat???? The lump in my throat was jus refusin to go down and sweat started but i never ceased as i said to my self one more time.. But this was different it has been almost 900 days since i started but today was somethin different, i was never so conscious about doin it.... hmmm i thought am i goin to change for ever thought...? this was the first time ever i was so fearful of SMOKING.......
"With a cigg in my hand i feel like a MAN " this quote is followed by almost 120 million people in this country and i don't differentiate myself from them.
OCT 2 2008 this day holds some significance in my life . Wat that significance is will be known in time to come . Well it had to do with the very much publicized ban on public smoking.
hmm i had jitters down ma spine for few days before the date arrived it gave me goosebumps and also some nightmares on how to react to the ban. I am very honest here in sayin dat i would have done atleast 30 SWOT analysis of the ban,the rules and the loopholes in it so that i could reduce the effect of the ban on myself.
The day arrived and i was very conscious about smoking that day and finally my resistance broke and i had a butt fr the heck of it and i felt relived , proud guilty, pity and also amazed all at the same time when i finished it ... the reasons being different for each one of dem but still it was somethin that made me think again ........
hmmm the government here has been acting very smart i tell you reagrdin this whole issue. If you cant stop anything then ban it very simple and effective...there are rules to prevent minors from smoking and here the govt. has been acting very foolish to enforce a ban on public smokin in order to motivate people to quit smoking . Well here i put my first point forward how many time shad the government organised workshops or healthcamps in order to help smokers and counsel them to quit smokin and nowadays i dnt find any antimsokin ads by the govt. in any channel except the doordarshan.so here there is basic fault with the govt.which has taken a very aggressive move in banning smoking in public places. Well if i do agree that this point does not validate as a very strong argument then why has there been no proposal or thought to ban the manufacture and sale of ciggs altogether i know that is not possible and the govt. has issued a statement that it will done so in a phased out manner so that the tobbacco farmers are given other modes of employement . Well that is bull shit for matter of fact any guess the revenue of ciggerette industry is today well for very conservative estimates it is 50000 crores a year and that s the revenue govt. will loose out if they do .. Do ban manufacture and i will happily quit smoking this is a promise for sure (C'mon i wont have any other option).
Ok now for my second point of argument . Well before making this point i am very happy and glad that the govt. has sucessfully done away with all the terrorists and their oraganizations and henceforth we will not be having any more attacks... If this is not the case well can anyone please justify why the police are out catching smokers and not after these guys??? ok if they do there are 122 policemen for every 1lac people in india and very basic math tells u that there is one policeman for everry hundred smokers. now the inference from the above axiom is that if there is any one who is goin to be benifitted by this ban then it has to be the policeman and no one else and this is not a vague statement .. 3 days since the ban and every one in my grp knws that if ur caught smoking then the fine is 200 or else it is chai pani wrth 100 cmon here is another superb masterclass stroke by the govt. to reward the policemen so that they donot strike like the army peoply over the paycommission and now the cops are a very happy lot no need to satnd in hot sun for hours since the butt is more lucrative den the helmet.......... to hell with these policemen every one knows it and there had been no serious enforcement of the law or rather no enforcers must say....
Now for the next one . Rather then go for new rules and sanctifying people the govt. must first put its house in place . There are so many issues that have warranted attention for long and are still goin strong even though there has been a "BAN" on them.. prostitution and drugs the facts of these two are so unnerving and disturbing that makes you think twice whenever you meet a stranger and analyse him almost 1 outta evry 7 has been very heavily addicted to atleast one of these and seriously to this point accrdng to me there has been no headway made in to these except that the addicts keep growin by the day. So instead of concentrating on completing the current to duties to the desired level why does it care about doing other thins and creatin more ruckus for nothing ??? If there was a concentrated effort by govt. in controlling any of the above two given cases and there have been desired results put forward by them and people really get shivvers while doin any of them . Then i am sure the new rule swould have been followed with utmost respect but that is not the case to be and so is the rules effect........
Now comes the last one and easily the boon in disguise. The defintion of "PUBLIC PLACE" . To be very frank i have never ever heard a more abnoxious defn of the word elsewhere. seriously the definition given itself is so hazy and lacks any intent that it seldom completely stops a person from smoking in any place because for very place mentioned the rule itself carries so many "RIDERS" along with it that it makes it perfectly legal and illegal at the same time at that very place t be smokin and well what the police say and what u say might be different but the point i make here is if there was serious intent on the govt's. part then after such a long discussion and analysis why does it fail to deliver something so that the results of the ban can had in some materialistic and fruitful manner . But the answer is a sad "no" because forces behind anything to be made a rule in this country are beyond the comprehension of the average mind so the rules are convieninetly moulded for your convininece,..... Then comes one more explanation saying that passive smoking is harmful hence this rule has been formed .. I mean what the fcuk what u say is stop smoking in open areas and smoke in your homes so that ur family members can be happily be "cancered". even common ettiquitte says that when the person besdie you has some propblem with you smoking then politely move away or stop doin so and as fas as i know this has been generally followed but what the govt. has come up with will very clearly increase the number of "passive smokers" cmon there are smokers in every alternate family and forcing them to smoke at home will only make the matters worse and not help the cause (ask me)................
72 hours since the ban has been enforced every single person knows where to break and where not to break and the only complain every one have is why the fcuk do you make a new rule so that it fills the pockets of the cops again ....... i think there are many rules already provided by the constitution for the same motive and y get a new one and that too before elections and make the people even more frustruated.........
