A not-so-Happy Republic Day To You!

Today's an important day. The Republic Day Of India - the day when our India was declared a Socialist, Secular and Democratic Republic. Once again we're reminded of the leaders who framed our constitution, martyrs who laid their lives for this country and all those known and unknown people because of whom we breathe in a free nation.


But, was it worth it?


They dreamed of an India in which people will live united as INDIANS- not in which a person's caste will come before his character.

They thought they're gifting the future generation our nation for them to beautify and enrich it - not for them to exploit it for selfish gains.

They hoped that India will grow to be the most beautiful, hospitable and, yes, most developed country in the world - not that India will be named a third world country.

I'm not writing this to list all the social and economic problems of India. Nearly every mature Indian knows them by heart. And I am certainly not suggesting that nobody hasn't done anything yet. But, the thing is, have we done enough?

The answer is NO. We haven't done enough. What India lacks today is PATRIOTISM. I know many people would disagree with me. Nearly every Indian loves his country. Aren't they patriotic..!!!

Again, the answer is no. Patriotism isn't just about standing stiff during the national anthem or singing patriotic songs. Nor is it about watching a handful of "DESHBHAKTI" flicks and sobbing at the climax. Now Honestly tell me, how many of you have kept politics as a career option. I'm not sure if many of you can say yes. That's the problem with today's youth, including me. We know all about India's prevailing problems but instead of trying to solve it, we're running away from it. Tell me, if a part of your body's diseased - will you try to cure it or just ignore it? So why isn't our attitude same when it comes to our country!!! OK, agreed that everyone can't go into politics. But there's a lot one can do no matter in which position he is. Because all of us share one common position - that of an Indian. Serving your country doesn't only mean joining the army and sacrificing your life for this country. Be honest in your work. Place your country's welfare before yours. Condemn corruption. Eradicate illiteracy. There are endless things you can do. This country has to be freed from the clutches of power hungry men. This country has got to change. Take the responsibility to change it...

Fallacies and Prejudice..

Why do people make assumptions about a person when they don't even know him or her. I mean just because you have seen a girl and a boy together means they're a couple. And that if a girl hangs out with guys means she's a slut. What on earth do you have to do with it? For heaven's sake GO MIND YOUR OWN DAMN BUSINESS!!!!!!


These things which people say dont just ruin a person's reputation, it puts a BIG question mark on his character. Which goes with him throughout his life. So why do people ruin something so precious. Today, even if a person's heart's clear, and he bears absolutely no wrong intentions in his mind, he's labeled with a thousand kinda names and labels concerning his character, his appearence, his company, his hairstyle and what not!! I mean, GET A GRIP YOU LOSERS!!!


The problem is, people do not think before they pass a comment on someone. They dont think that how'd they feel if the same kinda comment was passed on their brother or sister or for the heck of it - themselves!! Its really easy to pass judgement about a person by just looking at him but it takes guts to go and get to know that person. So next time, before you say anything about the person you dont know well enough, just think twice how would you feel if someone passed the same judgement on you.







Till next time,

Take care...

The "Egoistic" Love?

Has it ever happened to you when your so called "EGO" has come between you and the person you really adore - your parents, friends, boyfriend or girlfriend?? At one point or another, there comes a time in a relationship where there are ego clashes between two persons. And I am not talking bout any relationship but bout those who really matter..

Now i give you something to ponder upon. If you know that you really love a person, then from where the hell this "EGO" thing crops up in between?? I mean, that certainly ain't right, is it? According to me, Ego is an essential quality which a person must have. But when it comes to relationships, ego can be devastating... It can ruin them forever!!

You know, when you look back at the times when your ego has taken over love, you'll realise that it was a mistake after all. Dignity is one thing, which should not be lost at any cost. But its sometimes okay if you put your ego aside, especially for the ones you love. And, after all, love is the most beautiful thing that a person can do...


Till next time,

Lessons Learnt:
1. Ego kills love
2. Dignity should not be confused with ego
3. Love's the greatest gift a person can give

Hello...

Well.. to start with, this happens to be my first blog and am starting this because I find it easier to pen (in this case - type) down any stuff rather than to speak it out. But don't get a wrong impression, I am too talkative.. You'll find out eventually if you keep reading my blogs!

Why does it happen that when others make the same mistake we once did, it seems much BIGGER? I mean, hello? Get A Life!! You did the same thing!! And when the "other" is us, it does hurt a lot. I'm not sure if you understand what I am saying but my point is, isn't it better that that we forgive a person? We're humans after all!! I mean EVERYONE makes mistakes! Then why does it happen that we forgive some and not others. An that too for the same mistake and such a tiny one..!!! Don't you think so??

Anyway, time to take a leave..
Don't forget to post a comment..!!
Till next time,
Sayonara!
