A kannada Actor or a War hero ?

Actor Vishnuvardhan passed away early this morning and his fans mourned anything but peacefully and coming to the point that got me blogging again was that the late actors' body was wrapped in the Tricolor , Our national flag . Who really gets to have the national flag draped on their coffin and who doesn't ?

Soldiers fighting at our remote borders, sometimes drinking their own urine for survival at temperatures which if i say here won't make much impact on people reading this blog, get killed for a reason more honorable than many a death . They die nameless, speechless and violent death . I read in the paper the other day that there isn't a joint war memorial for the 1971 indo-pak war .

A stark contrast is our local movie hero . A thespian no doubt, but why worship him ? Has he saved anybody from the clutches of doom ? let alone be a part of saving a whole country . And our Government headed by the ever so wise Yedyuryappa (no apoligies if i got that wrong) has sanctioned a humungous sum of 10 crore rupees to building his memorial . The depth of education in very urban areas of Bangalore is exposed by the way the fans mourn . A coupla buses, a few windows, a lot of inconvience . They really hurt brand Bangalore .

what can i say ? don't hurt me or break the windows for writing this ! I hope my body would be wrapped in the Indian Tricolor when i die, i hope i don't have to entertain people to get there .
