About things which should have happened, but didn’t, and a few which did, but shouldn’t have!

Annie, from Chennai lists down the things which did and shouldn’t but didn’t and should have, with one of the longest title in Culture Curry history!

We all keep pondering about things that happened in the past and most of us do wish that life had a rewind button so that we could go back and erase certain things that did happen or to re-live the moments again. But fortunately or unfortunately life does not have a rewind option, but that’s not going to stop us from talking about things which should have happened, but didn’t, and a few which did, but shouldn’t have. For example, there are certain movies we wish were never made, like Chandni Chowk to China, Kambakht Ishq and London Dreams; rather what should have happened is that the money invested to make these movies should have been donated to charity, that way some good would have come out of it. Talking about Bollywood let’s not forget the Karan Johar – Raj Thackeray fiasco. Karan Johar apologizing to Raj Thackeray should not have happened, what should have happened is that Karan ought to have told Thackeray to look into matters of state importance rather than pointing out activities done by cricketers and film makers forever. Moving to sports, one thing that we keep longing for year after year is India winning more matches! But whether they win or lose they will be worshipped for years to come.

Now, moving on to things that did happen but should not have. One major event was the swine flu epidemic and the constant rise in prices of gold and petrol. Not to forget, Karunanidhi winning the elections! It’s officially become a typical ‘buy-one-get-the-whole-family-free’ offer. You elect one person and the next minute the sons (of 2+ wives) and grandsons are running the State!

Well, this can go on and on - the list is endless. Right now majority of us are wishing that that the splitting of States does not happen; the Prime Minister like Christ says “Ask and it shall be given” and everyone asks for a State and if this happens, very soon India will go from 28 states to 56 states and similar to The United States of America and The United Kingdom, we will not be far from re-naming our nation - ‘The Divided States of India’.

Well the list is NEVER-ENDING, but practically nothing can change the past. The only thing we can do is hope that things will change for the better; Until then, let's work hard for it and don’t forget to party harder. Cheerz!
