Indeed a Pity....

We come across myriad happenings in our day-to-day lives. What effect they have on us or our mental status is imperative....We have different types of people thinking differently.......Also human nature can b categorised as:
1. People who want to do, but can't.
2. People who can do, but don't want to.
3. People who can't.
4. People who think they can do and go for it diligently.
5. People who believe in themselves and accomplish their tasks.


Now,to which category one belongs, is the real issue.Every coin has two sides. If we consider it right from the grass-root level then it'll really help figure out the mistake. The topic in which I'm interested to discuss, is very subtle, but in the present scenario ,necessarily needed.

Every single deed we carry out daily, or be it any joyful moment, any sad news, any act of criticism, any noble deed - there's always one thing which brightens the view(for a certain group of people..)- RELIGION. To which religion one belongs decides the person's whole being (ridiculous!!!...). This has become the common(frankly speaking,CRASS...) attitude of people from every background - impecunious,affluent,bourgeois......The question to be asked is - WHY??.....and the answer lies in our teachings. I don't remember any moment other than the 1947 struggle when people from different regions became ONE,fought together and freed our nation. And the ultimate end was - Tears of immense joy......This is what, feeling of oneness all about. And see the scenario today. We are proud to be a part of a nation having diverse cultures, but why is this diversity resulting in revenge and malice towards our fellow countrymen?? Why can't people think with their own brains?? Why is their an influential effect when it comes to moral convictions??WHY???


We have our respected politicians (the so-called leaders) who(not all) are best at fooling people, and we people, easily fall prey to their utterings.
How can one forget the Godhra riots? The major thing which spread like a wildfire was - HINDUS Vs MUSLIMS. We also have the example of destruction of houses in Orissa due to the HINDU-CHRISTIAN outrage. The list is endless............



Now, the matter of concern is - National Integrity. How can we save our nation from outside threats when we have disputes within?? Let's have a look at some instances :
- A small quarrel taking the form of a major fight at a railway station and spectators enjoying it just because the people involved in fighting are no one to us.

- Two kids enjoying their freedom and playing joyfully are suddenly seen apart just because their parents are not feeling the needed compatibility.

- Two souls loving each other are left to face the annoyance of the world, reason being - they do not belong to the same caste or creed.


Aren't these paradigms thought provoking? We all take them mildly but the effects which they have are affecting our lives some or the other way. I would like to remind all 'honorable' people that the basic teaching of moral science, which we learn during primary education, is - " All men are equal." The Almighty has created us equal then who are we to discriminate? Even then, educated people are the torch-bearers. The real meaning of democracy gets camouflaged under the illusions of negativity.


To tackle with these problems, the necessity is - thinking practically,really. The actual motive of every soul should be to give his/her best till he/she survives on this earth. And to accomplish this , the thing which is needed is : self-belief. The right thing, done at the right time, with the right attitude always returns the rightful. People come and go but what lives forever is their doings. Birds of sorrow hover around us, but it's upto us whether we allow them to build nests above our heads or not.

"As u sow, so shall u reap".It's now or never. Let's think of the time 20-25 years from now. What the GenNext should follow is to spread love and affection among their countrymen rather than looking at others with hatred. For this, it is essential to open our minds(not brains coz it knows calculations..;-)) to think what is right & just . People who are busy in making plans of converting INDIA of INDIANS into INDIA of HINDUS should have a look at the golden pages of history which scream out the power of BROTHERHOOD. Agreed that there are some who are never to be forgiven but that doesn't mean that the entire pool is of no use. So, wise people will definitely try to strengthen 'The unity in Diversity' and for the others - do consider the benevolence of man and contribute in making our country a better place to live in......

It's indeed a pity currently but every cloud has a silver lining !!!

The changing nature of CHANGE

Change is for good……?!?!......nah!……not always……it’s d reflection of your being. Considering everything with both the angles is what life-cycle all about. I’ve seen many people changing their state of minds ,often. The reason being –nothing special, just for fun or jeopardy. Choice is individualistic. If it’s for the benevolent side of man, always just ; but if the other way round, beware!!


Well, I think the problem is not going for a change, the problem is the way to go for it. If it’s giving u cheers, continue with it. But if it’s affecting your true-self, no use going ahead.


Analysis holds the key. I remember Meredith’s dictum-“We are betrayed by what is false within”. Knowing the true-self will definitely help ameliorate the real YOU.


Many attributes contribute to this change. The philistine attitude is going to lure, at some point of time, for sure. And this is the real test. It’s upto us- to be agnostic or compromise. I totally agree with the idea of taking chance(with every door opened cautiously..). Give it a try. Things are coming your way that means change is for good. The story is showing a different picture that means change is not for good. Live life to its fullest. Enjoy the sweetness, keep sourness at bay.


Afterall, a NO with conviction is better than a flattered YES.
