Wormhole Of Needles

 Hello Readers

 

Hope you all are doing well.

 

Blog number 253 let us begin.

 

It was half-past eight in the evening a regular day in the city of Bengaluru, one of the posh areas of the city in a central park, children were playing sports, youths were running in the track, a joyful sporty environment.

 

But suddenly, the whole environment turned into a gloomy one, a police jeep from nowhere parked in front of the park. Out came the officer and started scampered towards some people, who were surrounded by other police officials who were in citizen clothes, the officer handcuffed them and took them away.

 

The next day in the papers we saw to our astonishment, what had happened yesterday was a drug ring bust! And that was incredibly surprising.

 

Well, the above was a fictional episode which was to bring the substance of this passage.

 

But nevertheless, there are actual incidents such as these which has happened.

 

Well recently there is a lot of news coming out on drug rings operating in Bengaluru, and some celebrities have been taken into custody.

 

I would not like to write this is a report and show facts on this drug peddling and trafficking but want to take this in a different direction, because this is not a problem only in Bengaluru it is a global issue.

 

Let us try to understand why these incidents keep happening, we have an Act called "Narcotic drugs and psychotropic act of 1985" commonly referred to as the NDPS Act.

 

It is an Act of the Parliament of India that prohibits a person the production/manufacturing/cultivation, possession, sale, purchasing, transport, storage, and/or consumption of any narcotic drug or psychotropic substance.

 

But still, the vice gets ground towns cities and states.

 

The main reason behind this is there is a nexus which goes on between specific class of people in our society it is a nexus of activities tightly knitted. It is backed by some so fake politicians, celebrities’ people from all fields including defectors in the law enforcing departments which is sad!

 

To improve this situation, the roots of this issue should be looked at.

 

It starts from good education, value education to children and a huge responsibility for parents to look after their kids, especially on what they watch. The overwhelming environment of the OTT apps and other media tools which are so-called "self-regulated" I do not see any regulation being enforced and the most sold shows are of genres of crime, drugs, and violence! (based on Nielsen Statistics 2019).

 

We are talking about IoT (Internet of things), but have we thought about connecting offline with our children and guiding them in life, do we have the time?

 

Me being a 90s kid used to see some children smoking cigarettes while coming back from school used to feel wrong about them, as I was of similar age as them and they were not attending school.

 

We were educated with ill effects of smoking in school, I thought what is the use of all that studying,I when I could not make these kids understand, felt very bookish!

 

This is a worldwide problem, lousy influence, people choosing the wrong businesses and trying to become rich! And another group of people the weak-minded, who want to forget this world for some time by injecting chemicals! And each victim has his or her sad reason why they chose it.

 

Who is at stake, folks who are innocent fall into the wormhole of needles! And finally perish, who profits? The Peddler, cultivators, smugglers basically the whole drug ring.

 

Globally, Quasi organizations like the International Narcotics Control Board (INCB) the anti-Narcotics force, In India the (NCB) Narcotics Control Bureau have tough times trying to control these lucifers' who try to put this world in a trans with their drugs!

 

We as responsible citizens, parents, brothers, sisters, friends should always be aware and alert and fight against the spread of needles and try to make this world filled with people living out of trans.

 

Worth to be mentioned movies like udata Punjab (2016), Hare ram Hare Krishna (1971), fashion (2008) the panic in needle park (1971) human traffic(1999), candy(2001) are eye-openers to us.

 I also condemn some so-called "self-regulated" TV shows which are aired showing how some Narco kings ruled this world and people getting this feeling aww… and getting inspired by them! Well, that is becoming a hero in the wrong way, seriously not a way to sell your show! Maybe I am wrong, old school.

 

Try to build values in kids, exceptionally if we show them the right direction, I am pretty sure they will end up as good citizens and not engaging in such psychic fantasies.

 

Lastly, I bow to all the rehabilitation centers in the world who try to bring people out of drug problems.

 

Arise! Awake and stop not until the goal is reached.

-Swami Vivekananda’s message to the youth.

 

I leave you with these thoughts today, let us all be alert and take care of our gen Y and stop this inbreeding of needles, which is a business for some and an end road for the consumer.

 

Thanks for your time, have a lovely week ahead.
