#Electionnight

So this is my morning starts with a panic attack maybe. As after month and days spent while watching the sudden shift in world where anything you can say as a Probable US president while campaigning your way to the white house.
And till today morning I was absolutely sure that the results will be absolutely clear after the drama that whole world witnessed. But even then, here I am, a someone holding her breath and feeling as if this is something like a black death or a meteor hitting the earths surface while Trump takes lead.
I was looking for the newspaper to find something in it, while the news of 500 and 1000 rs note being disqualified from our economy in search of black money flashes on first page while I dive into the page 8-9 where news of American election might be. And my mother says the news is on first page while I leave the newspaper laughing at our situation when something happening across the worlds end seems more important to me than what has happened in our own country. But isnt everyone(who were aware of the fact of Trump's so called "great big beautiful" presidency) feeling this?
Many the times people need this kind of moment shift maybe, so they can actually feel like living. and then some phrases start to pour themselves as "WWIII, racism, ignorance, disrespect of women,  use of neuclear weapons , a big big great beautiful freaking wall, and what not' I see  the destruction needs only fewer and fewer steps to win.

And it did change, the moment when I was standing among group of people who were absolutely unaware of the fact of consequences of something happening far beyond.
Maybe it is true that there is Happiness in Ignorance. Perhaps I would have been one of those people leading their lives unaware of anything at all.

Maybe I did witness the "World change here today" moment, but I really didn't want to. Or maybe I dont want to be in the world where change meant witnessing something horrific as this. Or maybe I should rather focus on page no. 1 in our news paper rather than digging for 8 or 9 who knows.

So while I helplessly watch someone setting an example of being conservative is a good thing, assaulting women is a good thing, not helping the people who needs help is a good thing, being a racist and insulting war time heros is a good thing, not paying taxes is a good thing, being unaware to listen to the cries our planet sends every day is a good thing, saying lies in front of thousands watching and then denying it in front of the same people is a good thing and ... also this all makes a country great, and despite of all that you can and will still win in this up-sided down world I think to myself that what sort of world we might be leading on.

But of course a but is always there isnt it. I guess I am gonna have to keep hell of work into myself while adjusting to the new situations and tackling such more shocks after this. And more than that I guess I will have to be hell of a mother to set an example before my future off spring that this wasnt what we were. It was just so out of control and we were a victim of it, just born at the wrong time to witness a tragedy.
