What If Salman Becomes A Frog?

Colleagues were discussing Salman Khan Hit-and-run case over afternoon tea in the office. Everyone was unanimous in saying that nothing bad will happen to Salman and he will be saved despite being guilty. Then I remarked that may be he would get punishment after he goes to meet God - may be he will become a frog in next life as a punishment. This is the way I understand it. Then one colleague gave a revolutionary answer which shattered my theory.

She said, "Even if Salman is reborn as a frog - he won't remember that he became a frog because of his bad work in last life. So he will once again enjoy life. In fact being a frog is good because he does not have to worry and take tensions like us."

This is very logical. A frog won't know if it got 'demoted' or 'promoted' by becoming a frog. Although even if this is true, I won't risk it fir myself. But I think being a 'bad guy' is always advantageous rather than being a 'good guy'. You won't have to play by the rules and your conscience does not trouble you so often. But what stops so many of us from becoming bad? Is it only 'inertia'; or do we really take a call in full awareness? 

What do you think?

Return Strong and Honest from Jail, Dear Salman!

Despite being a Salman Khan fan, I am happy that he would get punishment for his crime. So that his sins won't haunt him till his next births. I am also disappointed because I expected him to speak the truth in the court of law. But he tried to save himself, even throwing his driver to the gallows - which was like attempting another murder in full consciousness - when he knew that his driver Ashok Singh did not do the crime. Salman proved himself as just another rich celebrity trying to manipulate the system for personal gains.

This case has once again proved how corrupt and dishonest the members of the film industry are (a generalization). In fact this realization has been dawning upon me for some time and I don't feel proud anymore in promoting and being a proud fan of any actor (over reaction). It seems easy money, power and fame can make any good man into evil (philosophizing).

With Salman Khan going to jail, I also wonder how bad-days would come for so many models and pretty faces whom he regularly tries to rehabilitate into the film industry (sarcasm). When actresses do MBAs from good universities but then settle down to doing item-songs in Bollywood, it does not look right (selective higher-standards).

In the jail, Salman would meet the bad characters he sometimes played in his movies, and then he would see the true and complete meaning of "being human". Repent, dear Salman, repent; be good, remain strong and add more to your life apart from playing puppets on the screen for money.

I wish Salman Khan good health and calm during his upcoming stay in the jail. May you come back soon to tell us some good stories. May you live an honest life, happily ever after.
