Quite prominent billionaires such as Jeff Bezos and Richard Branson recently completed their pioneering space journeys. Quite prominent billionaires such as Jeff Bezos and Richard Branson recently completed their pioneering space journeys. It was defined as, perhaps, setting the stage for future space tourism. Why do moneyed men find solace in another world? Though they make themselves richer in the earthly world, their immense wealth is being spent on Mars. Why not on this planet full of humans?
Their idea of space tourism does not even have attracted politicians as they appear more engrossed in giving boost to democratic moralities. How far they are being true to their commitment is clear from the viral videos of Rahul Gandhi and his accomplices at a hotel premises enjoying rich breakfast while a stop towards Lakhimpur Kheri. Some have reacted to the news and said this this is a battalion picnic. Others find more satire or sarcasm in particular words. They have expressed who would not like to enjoy such a treat before the dharna plan. It was worth watching.
A straight look at the video that has been connected with the politicians who were devouring various items shows how hungry they are. Their concern for dead people in the adjoining district is nowhere emerging on their respective faces. Here, Akbar Allahabadi’s lines come to mind:
“Qaum ke ġham meñ dinner khāte haiñ hukkām ke saath, rañj leader ko bahut hai magar ārām ke saath.”
It might be due to this double standard the billionaires are finding solace in the voyage to Mars.
