On my recent doodle on Uttarakhand Tragedy and its subsequent politicization,one of my regular visitor Vijay Ji (owner of COMBOUPDATES blog ),made a comment which was so appropriate on the tragedy and the subsequent political developments due to that. I would like to highlight his comment here-“Mysay the vultures are always in hunt for the carcass.“, as his statement is the sole inspiration to this yet another toon on the continued tragedy of the stranded pilgrims are facing,after the floods.Water and Food is being sold to them for unbelievably high prices and sustenance till the rescue team reaches them is becoming difficult. Inhuman behavior from politicians was not a shocker but how about the locals ?
Mysay just one word Awesome. To create such beautiful gem from a comment takes your creative skills to a new high. My salute to you. BTW I noticed that the two vultures look a bit familiar 🙂
thank you Vijay ji but not all comments inspire to this level .. so we should share the credit amongst us 🙂
thank you for the constant support and motivation !
oh yes ! vultures are all alike .. they are like our politicians .. but if you find them similar to someone else as well, i would request you to share 🙂
Haha you got my point. I did feel they look familiar to some of the (you know who) 🙂
😀 now I got your point precisely Vijay Ji !
Waise, Mysay you and I have entered the Alexa graph and are neck and neck, healthy rivalry or poetic justice 😉
is it ? No competition bhai with you !! You win I win !! 🙂 How much is our ranking individually ?
🙂
Ghoda agar Ghas se dosti kare to khayega kya ..
aur cartoonist agar apne visitor se competition kare..chalega kahan ? hehe 🙂 aap ki jeet mei humari jeet hai Vijay Ji .. humare liye to aapke appreciations hi awards hain 🙂
Nope you win pants down 🙂
I provide tech and other information I think people should know you make ppl laugh.
Big difference, laughing increasing life and learning decreases it. Take your pick
both are equally important I believe only laughing may be healthy but not going to keep us well informed 😀
Like the dark lord who cant me named, In this case my lips are sealed 🙂
haha!! Better keep secrets close to hearts Vijay ji 😀 😉
How inhuman of locals to fleece tourists in this manner. Great sketch, you have good speed in bringing out your posts.
thanks Indrani .. at times it takes days for one thought and at times … there are dozens knocking the door of the brains and forcing to come out on paper 🙂
Amazing details highlighting the plight of the victims and how each “stakeholder” wasnts a piece of it!!
Great job!!
thanks brother.. i feel everyone has replaced the vultures out there .. the locals the politicians .. its a sorry state of affairs
Very well depicted
thanks a ton Ma’m !! 🙂
Wonder if they could be a bit more inhuman! Sigh!
As usual…nicely presented!!
oh yes ! who knows what the true picture is ..
Thanks poetess for sharing your views
Humanity has gone for a toss…Sometimes I feel we Indians have completely lost it…On one hand we go miles on pilgrimages ( I have no clue why?) and keep fasts ( Again a bogus practice according to me) but have nothing humane within us… Horrible! Even after such a tragedy all we seem to care about is scoring points and money!!
Again a very poignant post from you!
facts is we are hypocrites of a class.. In the name of religion make us travel 100s of miles and ask us to sell our houses or stay starving for days .. and then we are the same bunch who would go about monetizing people’s sorrow and crises 🙁
Feels sad ! Why blaming the politicians alone .. look at the commoners 🙁
times are bad , we just need to be little bit more human to cope all this , god bless us
yes bhai what is extincting from earth is humanity .. at a fast pace !
I was just thinking about the politics and war of words between various politicians and your post came… Do not know will they ever come out of these kind of hypocrisy? I doubt.
Nice post and as usual… perfectly captured the sentiments.
thanks AJ …
I feel fearful about the way humanity is heading towards hell 🙁
They remind me of an old saying: ‘Nero was fiddling while Rome was burning’
.
Rightfully put sir 🙂
You have exceptional talent of expressing the hard facts in unique way!!!
thanks Debo !!
Out of the Topic – I have query for you – Are you and Suhas co-bloggers for Kenfolios ???
u have portrayed it so well…hats off to u 🙂
thanks dear !! 🙂
Money money money! That is the funda.
indeed thats the only funda and at the cost of whatever 🙁
Very sad…..
indeed it is bhai !!
That’s really sad to hear…
indeed its sad and inhuman Meghana
I guess every body wants make a hay when Sun shines. Probablys, the locals know this is the only chance to make some money, since there won’t be any visitors in coming 2-3 years.
true that Doc and inhuman as well !! for a safe tomorrow if a politician or a businessman loots us .. we wont call it fare .. and same is with the locals who are looting the pilgrims in crises
This is soo tragic ..humanity has lost it virtue .. in the time of need and such catastrophe .. people still are not ashamed to earn quick bucks .. what a shame ……. Well portrayed Mysay .. admire you uniqueness …
Aazi .. we need to learn being human before its a lost game .. someone’s crises ..others’ opportunity .. alas .. this should discontinue … 🙁
Thanks for the admiration brother.
Wonderful post here. Mysay your work is appreciated here. I salute you
thanks a ton Jitendra .. your words are motivating .. for continuing to have my say on issues that matter .. on behalf of lives who have been going through the pain !!
Thanks again !
Amazing sketch ! You have incorporated humor and portrayed the pathetic condition of this country… Bravo !!
thanks Pritam .. i am glad…you liked my work 🙂 thanks for dropping by 🙂
I am not surprised by the looting…coz even when there are no calamities the shop keepers ,rickshaw wallahs loot the common man…everybody wants to make a quick buck …but among these few nuisances there are people like the army and the Sikh community who have come forward and saved the day!!
Truely Rahel, its not all bad world .. I have heard army Jawans and Art Of Living people and many NGOs going out of the way to help victims out of the mess ..
Thanks for dropping by and sharing your thoughts !! Appreciate it 🙂
Beautifully depicted! a man shows his true colours only at times of need and this tragedy is a great example of the same! While the victims suffer, the world takes advantage!
indeed its cruel and inhuman ..shameful act !
So true!! Humans are the most inhuman creature…
Writing on the go
🙁 alas we are !!
Really very, very sad.
indeed it is very sad and sorry state of affair Roshini!! Thanks for dropping by and expressing your mind on it
Appreciate it !
The politicians the carcass chasers..Well Said M Say
Wish it was restricted to politics only Sonia .. the locals also exploited the victims in crises as the media claims!
Have we lost humanity deep within? Chalta hai .. Hota hai .. mentality of Indians has brought the country to this level.
Pilgrim spots at such high-altitudes and during rainy seasons should have had some backing to meet up such crises situation !!
Bombs blast.. floods devastate … droughts kill.. but India is always prepared for all this and never ready with a back-up plan to counter or stop such incidents -man made or natural !!
The people have to suffer when the prove to be avaricious. Even when caught in the woes of a disaster, they have not forgotten to move in for the kill. A unique theme that has otherwise made us heavy with sorrow.
I just pray the 6500 still left be rescued .. of all odds ..
the politics around it and the blood-suckers haunting victims
Excellent!
thanks for the motivating compliment,Sir !
