No this is not about the movie titled 'It's Complicated' starring Alec Bladwin, Meryl Streep and Steve Martin. It's about the way I am feeling from last 2 days. The most complicated thing human race has ever come across is brain. The way you feel is controlled by your brain. Almost all of us have read about human brain in school. Let's cut it short.
From last 2 days, my mind is playing tricks with me. I don't have reason to celebrate anything, neither have reason for crying over anything. I usually have lots of things to do. My mind is always occupied with one thing or other. But since last 2 days, I am not able to concentrate on anything. Most of the time I feel like there is nothing happening in my brain. No thoughts, no dreams, no feelings not a single thing. Moreover, I am not getting answer to this question and why it's happening. And this is what making it more complicated. I don't know what to do and get over this feeling. I have started neglecting everything. I don't feel like talking while in someone's company. I feel good to be alone doing nothing. Something is wrong deep inside of me. I have to get over it ASAP. It's complicated for me to explain what exactly I am going through.
P.S. To all my friends out there, don't worry. I will get over it. I can't be sad or worry for long. :)

Should Caste System Prevail in India...........
Yesterday, when it was raining in Bangalore, I called my Dad to tell him how good the weather is here. He was doing his duty as police officer, standing between thousands of people, gathered to see and hear the speech by Chief Minister of Chhattishgarh. He was there to give a speech on Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedakar, the mastermind behind the constitution of India and a great personality our country ever had. It was his birthday.
To all who doesn't have ever read about Indian History this must be sounding strange and unrelated to the title. But it's not true. Caste System and Dr.Bhim Rao Ambedkar are related to each other more than you can think. It was him who introduced caste system in our consitution. When he introduced this concept for the first time, it was supposed to be in effect for 10 years. Being from a low caste, (poor choice of word) he wanted to change the prespective of higher caste people. His wish was to see his people rise and walk hand in hand with higher caste people. His vision was justified, considering how inhuman higher caste was to lower caste of society. Lower caste people were treated as dogs and pigs. To change this attitude, he introduced the caste system and reservation for low caste people in every field. It was implemented with a constraint that it will be withdrawn after 10 years if the condition of low caste people improved in those 10 years. If not, continue the same for 5 more years and then revise the system.
It's been more than 60 years of Independance, and still we have caste system and reservation for low caste people. Does this reflect that higher caste still dominate the lower caste? The answer is a definite 'no'. Time and again, Low caste people have proved their worth. Today they are sitting at top positions of Indian Government. They are rich and they dominate in many competetive exams cause of reservation. A low caste student needs only 30/120 to crack IIT-JEE where a general student has to score more than 90 to be eligible for top education in engineering. Same is applicable everywhere in India. Today, the scenario is totally opposite to what it was before Independance. Today, a high caste student suffers more than a low caste student cause of reservation system. Our ministers have exploited the clause for their benefit and vote bank.
As far, I am concerned, the caste system is pushing our country back and is hindering the growth. We should support the talent and not the caste. We, the young generation don't differentiate between low caste and high caste. We don't care whether our friend belong to low caste or high caste. It's high time that government should coinsider scraping the reservation system and stop dividing the country on terms of caste and religion.
P.S:- when I say low caste, that include minority groups also.

Men's Day........
Well well well...........Never heard of it I guess.
Everyone in his/her life has heard about Women's Day and Mother's Day, but how many of you have heard about Father's Day and Men's Day. I guess no one.
Even I had not heard about it till yesterday. I was sitting at office and was reading some random articles. I saw an article on Women's Day. Lots of celebrities comments and nice words for the womanhood. And in the midst of all this I started thinking why we celebrate Women's Day and Mother's Day and not Father's Day and Men's Day. I googled Men's Day and Father's Day.
19th of November is considered as International Men's Day and third sunday of June is celebrated as Father's Day in many countries.
But the question is why most of us are unaware of this fact. Or is it that our very own society is partial? To raise a child father contributes as much as mother. Then why father should not be credited for it?
Since childhood, I was taught that all gender are equal and have same rights in our constitutuion. Then why we have Woman's Quota in bus, rail, colleges and now in parliament also. Why there is no quota for men? Many will argue that women are weak and for their upliftment we need this reservations and quota. But ask any women whether they feel inferior to the any male and the answer will be "We are equal to men in every field and we are not inferior to them". Funny isn't it...........
I am not against Women's Day and Mother's Day and I do feel that women can do almost all the things a man can do. I just wanted to express my views about the Father's Day and Men's Day. We should celebrate these too. And as the world respect Women and Mother, we males should also be respected.
