Terrible noise..... all the time - day and night, the 17th reminder....

Well, it's another weekend and there's a racket going on at MWA Hall, I think of the wedding kind. Why isn't officialdom doing anything about this pollution?

In fact, this is the case all over the country, not just regarding noisy weddings in our midst at all sorts of hours of the day and night, but, anybody who wants to 'promote' something, does this at the most ear-splitting decibels.

Even banks have got into this noisy act! Then, our two mobile telephone companies, are notorious for this, too. Why? It seems to have become a kind of 'culture' to do everything in the noisiest possible manner. The louder the better, one gets the impression.

Ironically, among some of our numerous 'cultures', death is a very noisy event, i.e. the funeral 'services'/arrangements. Instead of giving the departed soul a dignified farewell, as one would have thought, it is one crazy, drinking, eating and fighting (due to the drinking, I think), orgy. Why? And all this in the name of 'culture'. Does anybody think of the family of the recently departed and what they might be going through? And again ironically, this bereaved family is the one who is supposed to foot the expenses of the many 'guests' who show up to give their condolences.

It seems that starting from our births into this noisy country, till we depart, we are being forced to endure unbearable noise. Our various religions, that we purport to follow, are also into adding to this din.

Is it any wonder that we have a severe shortage of scholars and principled, ethical and moral people in this country. Most of us are too busy making noise and most of it is so loud that it interferes with our thinking processes! And is that one of the reasons that our so-called 'officialdom', is doing nothing about this unending racket?

What a country full of thick heads....
