Lies

We have been taught many things since our childhood. Sometimes it's school teacher giving lecture on text printed in books and sometimes it's our Parents teaching us the lesson of life. Most of time they taught us truth. But unwillingly and unknowingly, they had told us many lies too. Here are few of them:-

1. Hard Work Pays :- I completely disagree with this. There has been many incidence in my life where I have seen people doing the hard work and getting nothing in return. Just few months back, I was working on a project having a short deadline. I was sure that it will take a lot from us to finish this on time. Working late night and on weekends, we did succeed in doing so. My colleague who had done the most part didn't got the recognization. We were told to be awarded. It's been 3 months and nothing had happen. So next time when someone tells you this, you know what you have to do.
2. Everything Happens for a Reason :-  Oh come on, Since when losing things in life has been boon for anyone. Losing your mother or father in some accident had happened for something good? Oh yes, They have left their wealth for you to enjoy. Getting kicked out from job in recession is good? Why not, now you know that you were just a employee at your company. Your company is not your family. To much for just a realization, isn't it. There is a positive side to everything, but considering the same as good is not alright mate.
3. God is Watching :- Look at the population of this world dear. Do you really think GOD has time for everyone. Or has HE started recruiting others to keep a watch on us? :-) Got the point.
4. Be Happy With What You Have :- If we started to feel happy with whatever we have now, then there will be no progress. We will never go for excellence. We will live the same monotonous life. The motto of life is to achieve your heart's Desire and not to be happy with what you have.
5. Good And Evil :- Pick a single guy who has not heard stories of Heaven and Hell. What are they exactly. Hypothetically, Heaven is a place where you will land up after doing good things in your life. The place is full of good souls and Angels. Similarly, Hell is where you go after doing bad things in your life. A place to torture you even after death. Now If I ask you to define Good and Bad, what's gonna be your answer. Whatever you do is Good for someone and Bad for others. Who's keeping count of that. Keep doing what you think is good for you.
6. Life is Wonderful :- Since When? Life was wonderful when there was only Adam and Eve living in our Earth. Since then Life has been a continous journey of pain and sorrow with few light moments.
7. Society is Important :- We humans totally believe in living in OUR society. Why we need a society to live our life? What society gives you back? Nothing. We humans made this society according to our needs. Society needs us, We don't need society to live our own life. So, if you want to marry anyone outside your society, here the advice, Go ahead and do it. Cause even if you ll marry soomeone from your society, your so called Society is not going to pay your bills.
8. Patience Pays :- Time doesn't wait for anyone. Move with time or you will be left behind is the success mantra of today's generation. Impatience is the new buzz down the streets. What are you gonna do? Sit back and relax for the things to come out your way or to go for it full throttle. Over to you.

There may be more lies. It depends on one's prespective. My advice is "Believe in things which are good for you. All the rest are philosophical".


P.S. I agree that point 6 is debatable. Even I believe Life is wonderful and full of fun and joy.

It's Complicated

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.
