I wish it were a world of Superheroes !!

As is clear by the title, I have been subjected to the torture of watching the latest “Superman” movies, the sloppy English version “The Superman Returns” and the sloppier still desi version “Krish”. It is not an exaggeration when I say it was torture. I thought when I saw “The Superman Returns”, I hit rock bottom, but “Krish” outdid the effect the “The Superman Returns” had on me. Well, I am neway not a very big fan of superheroes per se …. except for having enjoyed runs of Spiderman on TV as a kid, and I also enjoyed the movie “The Incredibles”. But as I think about it, the concept of a super hero, a savior being out there to fight all evil, injustice in the world probably brings a feeling of security.

After watching these movies, a couple of weeks later, the 7-11 incident in Mumbai was the matter of discussion. A lot of investigation and work has gone in, still is going in trying to find the culprit. Accusations were hurled in every direction, a lot of people were arrested, so many terrorist groups came into light, it was as if it was their day of limelight and publicity. People from almost every part of the world were accused, and speculations were made that probably they were responsible. I don’t think there is any terrorist outfit left, who has not been within the boundary of doubt.
Well, personally I was surprised to get to know of so many people who were willing to give up their lives to create terror, and unrest in the world. I was amazed by the amount of time and dedication that they put in their “pursuits” or “endeavors”. So much of planning had to be done, so as to evade being caught. I was amazed at how anybody could hatch out so much of evil. I am scared that there are so many such people out there, free, capable of many such masaccres. I am scared, that Indian government and security forces are still unable to trace the people responsible. I am scared so many other countries also have been unsuccessful in tracing them and have been victims of their terror. It suddenly doesn't seem a safe enough world.
I then got to thinking that there is so much of “evil” out there in this world. There is so much of “bad” and “injustice” that needs to be fought against. Shouldn’t there be an equal amount of “good” or “heroism” in the world to fight against it?

I wish there was a superhero out there who could foil all plans of these “bad” people. I wish there was a “Superman” or a “Krish” in reality who could bring peace and security to the people in this world.

And looking at the situation right now, I get to thinking, …. maybe only a superhero can save the day. Jaise Ravan ko maarne ke liye Ram ka janm hua tha, I hope and wish a “Krish” comes to start a crusade against the evil and rescue the world from the existing turmoil.
