Rich are always right
I am not at all religious, but even I was flabbergasted seeing the distorted mentality of people. The other day I was coming back home from Dhanmondi when I saw a bus sporting a nice advertisement on its back. The advertisement informed consumers about the chance to get a free butcher for the upcoming Eid if they answered a very clever question.
My point is, have we completely lost our mind that marketers would think a gimmick like this based on a holy day would work? I mean, is it not bad enough that we try to enhance our social position by buying cows worth thousands? Eid is no longer the sacred occasion it once used to be. We go to the mosque in the morning, but do we really pray?
I hate the way the people are silent on the total mockery made at every step of our social ladder.
