Cometh the hour, Cometh the media, Cometh the hour Cometh the Politician.

Another train accident, another tragic scenario, mass casualties, Screams of help, Loss of near ones, Shouts of sabotage, tearful political netas arriving to console, condemn & criticize. Headlines & Breaking news 24x7.

But then Come Sunday & all these channels & pages will cover the Smiling & finger flashing snapshots of the Mamatas, Buddhadebs & Pranabs. as they step out of their polling booths after voting in the municipal polls

Come Monday Its all Exit Polls .

Come Wednesday & the flurry of results & the euphoria of victories , mourn for the losses, facts, figures & percentage of votes lost or won are then talk of the town..

Come Friday, preparations are on for the swearing in ceremony & Victory marches across the state, BUT ,BUT , WAIT A MINUTE. Its been a week now that the train accident had happened, are the injured ones recovering ? have the wounds of the loss of near ones healed?

Err ….. Did you say a train accident ? when did this happen?
