“Burning Tyres On Karnataka Highway In Cauvery Protests”, read one of the news headlines. And, I thought to myself, “How could one fight for something by disrespecting that same ‘thing’, at the same time?”. On one hand, people are trying to convince the government of the importance that every ‘cusec’ of water has in their lives, but on the other hand, the same set of people are totally oblivious to the fact that the items that they are burning so recklessly, and destroying voluntarily, had only existed after several gallons of water was exhausted in their production.
