Utopia 1

As I sit down to write this piece, there’s a mesmerizing scene outside – I’m witnessing a heavy downpour!! After a break of one whole week, again the mighty blow of monsoon. Feels great!! But it makes me think of the fact that it’s June end. There are myriad examples from our day-to-day lives which, I believe, are of utmost importance and need to be taken care of but unfortunately are left behind. We all imagine of a world which would get better as days pass, a world free from sins and atrocities. If you don’t imagine likewise, I appreciate you for being realistic but pity you for not being rational. So now, there are two things you can do: either skip reading further coz we’ll be going through a journey involving small things which make huge differences (not for REALS) or, go through it and decide for yourself.
Some instances of our lives follow which I really can’t understand why can’t they be the other way round…
1. We see many kids playing around our homes, in apartment lobbies, playgrounds etc. (especially outdoor activities considered). They enjoy playing & are engrossed in themselves. When they play on streets ,where there are more chances of hindrances, if by any way their playing gets disturbed, just lend an ear to their conversation. It’s a perfect blend of arrogance, disobedience, anger, attitude and vigilance. All we can do is – ignore!! (bachche hai..) I agree that not all fit into this bracket but what about those who fit in? This definitely is not a good behavior to carry f/w. Who’s to be blamed?? Dunno?!?!? Let there be peace…….
2. A pure & subtle relationship – between parents & children. No need to discuss about its purity but due to some wild reasons, has become messy. Peer pressure & mishandled children. Why can’t parents understand what their child needs & why can’t the children make their parents proud by enjoying the just?? Let there be peace……….
3. Well, this point of mine is not at all an objection but a wonderment at how some things and people can make one go crazy… I’m talking about the Bollywood actress – Katrina Kaif. She can’t read, write and speak Hindi still she is a superstar with her fan list increasing infinitely so also is her charge per movie ;-) Oh, come on!! It’s a big game misunderstood by many. Let there be peace…….
4. The least bothered but the most important part of our homes – the dustbin, is not made the right use of at many places. If u reside in a flat, it’s not a regular sight. But for those who have independent establishments would have come across a problem – garbage getting collected near the entrance gate. I can’t make out why people don’t think of the right ways! Morally, to keep the surroundings clean one should collect the garbage & put in the dustbin. Many people have the good habit of collecting the garbage from their area but the worst habit of dumping it at the boundary line of their neighbors!! Ridiculous!! I guess none of the 206 bones gets affected if the garbage is properly dumped in the respective dustbins. Let there be peace………
5. When a person does something wrong & anyone witnesses the wrong doing, the accused is in a state of guilt. The lone feeling of committing a sin is enough for the accused to confess. But some blatant creatures are there on this planet who are unbelievable! I’m talking about Ajmal Kasab. I wonder, at such an age how can a person unite all his energies to work against humanity! Circumstances make one lame but there’s always a way out. This also makes me think of all those who destroy mankind for other men. Absolute pity for the brains which can work wonders. Let there be peace………
6. Another small happening, least bothered – our street-lights working in the daylight & remaining blind during nights!! I was listening to a Radio Station at which the RJ was discussing the same problem & he was out with a suggestion. The Corporation authorities can provide switches at suitable places for the street-lights. We have so many old people coming out of their homes for morning &evening walks. Why can’t they be given the responsibility of operating the switches to avoid wastage of valuable energy? After all , they are the most reliable and responsible!! This implementation will take ages to digest. Lack of faith, I guess. Huh…….Let there be peace………..
7. Recent happenings in towns & cities found a place as my seventh point – Honour Killings! I feel ashamed of such people. What type of pleasure are they seeking for their families by killing those whom they loved their entire lives?!?!? Clueless about the mentality of gentlemen and ladies!! Truly….Let there be peace……….

There are a lot many situations in our living scenarios which make us think opposite. This is gonna become lengthier so I’ll put them in parts. When I’ll get another set of seven, it’ll be UTOPIA 2. An appeal – think of the right way, follow the just. Till then………..Let there be peace!!
