'Sarcasm Society', a new way to understand the world...

Now I'm very 'used to' listen that 'I write only Serious! Serious! Serious!’ What they think is true but what to do if my mind can think up to this extent only. Even some expect me to write on comic elements as well, which is either a 'head-banging' task for me. Moving ahead now this 'serious & silly' person is up with the most 'common' thing which people face in day to day life, but still throwing some light over it is required but I suppose for some it'll be 'uncommon'.

In this 'techy' world, all are well-versed with gadgets and other mind-blowing stuffs which puts you up on the 'web' of 'Online Societies' I must say...which includes all your social sites,etc. But surprisingly even in this 'easy-to-access' world, no one knows what's going all around their country or abroad except who accepted/rejected their friend requests or who shared/liked/commented on their pics. The only way which comes across is that obliviousness to have a drop-off. It's usual that on news channels or other sources like YouTube, etc., certain 'sarcastic' remarks are made over well or evil deeds all around by politicians or well-known ones, by the use of cartoons and animations. And even it's a truth that we rather enjoy those funny remarks which indirectly puts an up a 'crystal-clear' reflection of the original conditions.

Young mind is a 'puzzle' basically which remains 'unsolved'. By the term 'Sarcasm Society', I completely focus on 'knocking’ the ‘doors’ of ‘locked’ senses which entirely affect you in an indirect manner, but makes you more cognizant in a fun way. Human nature says that if you open an option of merriment and serious way, that individual will surely select merriment and that's what the term's hidden significance is. It's damn true that no one likes to go through an in-depth serious analysis of events moving-by, so we all expect a quick move over for which sarcasm is the best source. It's not that being sarcastic is as easy as rolling off a log, logical efforts at its utmost level has to be made. It's not that banging around will bring up a solution...they need to think in such a way that others bang their head in thinking about the same.

Here if we talk about efforts so I even want to mention that hunter approach needs to be pushed up. A limit in the language to be set is necessary, which I find at times is crossed by those who are active at social sites....but most importantly it's required that things should not seem to be aggressive or dumb even. At present if we talk about, then there are only some who tend to be so. In general, there's nothing like sarcasm society but it's my instinct which says and not only mine but of other thinker's that it's a 'thought balloon', which needs a lot to be 'filled in' and an open 'air' to 'float' but mind that a small 'pinch' will make it 'burst'. And I'm totally sure that it will be a 'milestone' of achieve in the society wide with which boredom in social issues of society will be removed, willingness to be aware will increase and last but not the least things will strike more to your mind and not to your mood...and also will keep you updated except of Facebook, whatsapp..... :-P

#Respect for money => #Respect for Life....!!!!

It's 'Money'...the thing for which today a man is ready to take risk, it's 'Money' for which a man is ready to cheat anyone and also it's 'Money' for which a man sacrifices his valuable time which he is supposed to spend with his loved ones......This is the thing which can either be a part of an individual's hard work or someone's dishonesty. That's even very much true that money can't have a particular definition, but in simple it's a medium which enables a person is able to have his bread and butter.

If we talk about the olden times, even with large family’s people used to live happily on a low salary because the whole matter revolves around the requirements, which I must say have evolved till this period. Many of us often listen through teachers and parents that 'money isn't much important'.....but this sentiment clearly fails today and becomes 'money is much important'. In the time where just for an extra ticket you need to pay hundreds of rupees in a bus....then what about your education or standard of living, it's obvious that it will get affected. This is the reason that these Other Backward Classes, poverty and such other terms came into existence. But the thing to be noticed is that no one has any respect for money today. See that when a student of 6th or 7th standard demands for his/her personal phone, that too crosses even 10-15 thousands, so what you expect that will there be any sense of respect in anyone's mind. Then even you can think what all demands their parents need to fulfill afterwards...

I belong to middle class family, I've seen the hard work around me, I know what sacrifices are to be made, what all needs to be suffered and for what purpose?? Just to make us prosperous. Even my father says that money is the thing which will come and go, but it's your way of your thinking, which will once come and will never go. Now, just for purpose of job he lives separately and there are many who see the same atmosphere and believe me....those who come out of such atmosphere are the one who are well-versed with ethical and moral values of 'needs' and know proper utilization of money as well. I don't criticize anyone here but talking about the higher society, they don't try to understand that what hard work is needed to earn your living, but want they want is that their demands to fulfilled anyhow. But even the question which raises here is that without understanding the worth...is it justified to earn it??

I agree that even my needs have changed now, which is natural that here I find a need of gadgets, a modern lifestyle which is just to bring an augment in living standard....but that too isn't a burden over someone because that too is a part of need. Now getting apart from urban conditions...let’s move to rural ones. They are the one who have so much potential to prove them but platform isn't provided. In turn, at times I must say, a 'game' starts with some of the lives...a 'horror' game actually. Such people are forced to work at circuses to entertain people with acts of fire, etc., even performing stunts at shows, movies where some of them lose their precious lives. Sometimes it makes them be a part of thefts and robberies or even betting, etc. And some due to frustration commit suicides.

This example projects a clear image for all of us that what all can be done to earn money or what limits they are forced to crossed for backward ones. So, prevention is better than cure always, and then preventing such conditions can take place when you yourself are concerned about it. It's not that you run before money, but somewhere down the line it's important to understand the worth of it. It's even true that money doesn't grow over trees, there's someone's hard work behind it. So need of the hour is that have respect for money, which will definitely make your life as well as other's life prosperous, paving a way for world to be a better place.

Self-Dependency.....creates a barrier between children and parents???

We live in a time where there is a 'cut-head' competition for all the things around, whether it be for exams, gadgets and not only here but in the international markets where top-level companies, who excel in inflating economy, fight among themselves for becoming the superior one.

But one important aspect which plays a key role in climbing on the 'ladder' of life is becoming self-dependent. It's not possible that every time there will be someone to support you, it's better to come up of this 'liability' and prove what you are....or what potential do you have in yourself. When an individual uplifts him/herself out of this dependency, then they try to cooperate with the conditions on their own. Means in simple words, parent's burdens are taken away. You may often find students saying that 'I want to walk on path created by my own', that's one of the examples of the thinking among all of us. But, there are still some of the parents who think that their child is getting away from them or they aren't feeling the importance of them. Same condition is with me as well, I don't bother my parents much for anything. Even at times I try to hide my tensions or feelings, which I usually do till now, but it had an adverse effect over my parents as they thought that I am trying to be as independent as I can but they most of the time they try to understand even.  But the need of the hour is that things need to be made clear to them.

It's not that we as the young generation tries to become 'self-dependent' at our own will, but it's the 'need' which made us do so and which even I feel is correct. We all envisage that we'll become well-enough to be able to everything that others do. What my point of view over it is that if we tackle more and more circumstances or even 'suffer' from it, then it makes us bold enough to face it off. But I don't deny that in some 'exceptions', the younger generation tries to take benefit of what freedom they've got and maybe that's the reason parents at times think 'weird' about it. I believe we should become self-dependent, but it a balanced 'ratio' that it doesn't tries to overcome the relations between you and your loved ones. It's only the strength from your loved ones which makes you feel confidant and take your stand in front.

Even I think that word 'self-dependent' doesn't suit to the ones of my age because it's only applicable, as per my view, when you become something in your life, when you don't need to think several times to fulfill your wishes but when you are well-off to support others as well. We all are here with different perspectives and that's what we call today's young life, we try to compete with our elder ones, no matter what it be but still they try be in the race, in 'each' and 'every' point of life but the exception here is the hard work which we don't want to do.......we want to 'shine' but don't want to work for getting the 'charm' first. So I think, still we need to gain up more potential to touch the heights, so better strengthen up the base and be the one who you are......

My experiments....whose solutions just need logical thinking...no science needed...

Experiments.....a very 'usual' part in a person's life, which can either be in the form of experiments with apparels, style of living or blah blah. But the thing which I did was something really ‘weird’, it might have blown somebody's head due to my continuous emphasis over one single thing. Hope so that nobody took it in a negative manner but still, I found it important so that's why I did the same. So here's all that 'unusual' stuff!!!!!!!

Now talking about my very first experiment which I did... i.e. asking my female friends on Facebook regarding their phone number for the purpose of whatsapp. I felt a little bit 'uncomfortable' in doing so because I never ever tried to tease anyone. Seriously this trap worked, where some even tried to anticipate that. Not mentioning the name actually, but there were many who just gave their contact numbers without asking the purpose. Might be the reason was that they knew me....but still I don't regard it as a correct step. I appreciate those who tried to prevent it. Whether anyone understands it or not, but the thing which I want to reflect is that the experiment which I did here can even be did with evil intention, at that point of time what will they do?? They then get prank calls, disturbing messages and even threats!!! Today, it's such a time where there is no importance of trust, i.e. don’t blindly trust anyone, it's for all of us to take care about. Even I say that there are only some who are trustworthy.....so select those only whom you find caring towards you. I confidently say because there are many who have faith over me. :-P

Now moving towards another one, for which most of my friends criticized me, it was all about making fun of others or in other sense being nuisance. You may find it ridiculous, but my intention was just to test out an individual's limit. Maybe I am wrong in some sense but, who can stop me then :-P. Here, there were some who took it lightly and just got through the flow but as you all know exceptions are always present. These 'exceptions' get totally irritated but never try to understand the thing as much you'll get irritated, more the person will get chance to tease you. Same happened in this case, but the most interesting part of it was that even some of my teachers became a part of it.

My focus is to put up some sense in them that it's not that you'll always find the atmosphere suitable for them. So it's a starting for those who believe in it and keeping aside their like or dislikes here. Now onwards I'll stop all these work as it even causes difficulties to others, but will now try to think over new traps....so my fellows be ready for it... :-P

Being shy somewhere reserved or loyal....is it acceptable according to today's time???

After just reading the title itself.....I want to clarify that this blog is related to those who are also like me, but still feel that there's a need to open up. Most of the time people regard me as rude or full of attitude, just because I don't involve much and that too with some 'exceptions'. Even I accept that due to my nervousness at times I act weird or according to others 'over react'. Fortunately or unfortunately, no one can just escape this society, i.e. we have to be here only and nowhere else.

Many a times I get these comments that this shyness of mine is the only factor which spoils my personality....otherwise everything's fine :-P. Even my teacher’s say that a being knowledgeable is ok but today's time is mostly for those who know how to express their selves. One of my teacher escorts during the Surat trip also realized that there is a need to change my attitude towards public speaking and she was the only one who made me speak for the first time in front of teachers and parents. It's true that no one waits for you and everybody thinks of him/herself, it's for us how we create our importance in a gathering or community. Only those get preferences the most that are good at expressing their selves, mix up with others and keeping aside attitude of theirs.

Even I noticed that this thing is common in those who are keen in studies, where they are only centered over it and not on other activities. While talking about those who don't have interest in studies i.e. Careless prefer to have more fun and that's the reason that they even excel in outdoor activities or even Music, Arts and Dance. I don't criticize anyone and I say that both of them are correct at their stands but I personally believe that we all need to have a combination of both, where mostly support of teachers is needed because it depends over them that what image they put up of any student in their mind or whether they try to encourage them for it, and I suppose yes.

Being loyal is one of the best quality for which a person is regarded. But today I find people taking benefit of it. No one tries to be thankful for it, but think that he/she will always be towards the positive side of all where there is a need to understand the original aspect of the person or what’s his motive behind it. Even I suffered from it at times and I believe that be helpful but not too much that a person tries to overcome you. Still there's a time for us to improve and let's not be scared of what people will think about you.....just try to live your life in the utmost manner you can!!!!! Carry on...... :-)

What an incident...!!!! But I suppose I predicted it before.....

Making new friends and being frank with them is accepted by almost all of us in today's age. But it can't be neglected if anyone tries to cross his/her limits, which are regarded as anti-social elements, prevailing in the society today. One such incident was witnessed by me and being a blogger, writing becomes my only weapon, which will cause a diverse effect on individuals.

As I mentioned in my previous blog that few days back I was in Surat for Indian International Model United Nations. I became frank with most of my school fellows, who were mostly senior than me. The incident is quite weird but as caring and understanding for the person concerned, I find it important to share also for more and more awareness.

It took place on the very first day of the conference with one of my seniors, that while the proceedings of the committee were going on, she received a piece of paper with a "proposal" for her...now that I don't need to explain. After knowing about it I was little bit shocked by the way but creating no obstacles for someone, I tried to remain quite. Same day in hotel at night, I was busy researching out where again something uncertain took place. I found a bunch of students, seniors actually, passing comments on her. It was the time I wasn't able to resist myself where tried to sort out this.

The very next day, a boy totally ran out of his limits and in front of all he tried to propose her, at last which was rejected but an embarrassing moment for her, which I as a blogger understand. I regard her or rather praise her that by not keeping this thing to her, shared with our teacher escorts and with us. It's true that no such action would have been taken at time but an example was set by her. Even in this condition, parents support is must, which I found was there which can double or triple the confidence to stand in such circumstances.

Still she took it lightly and moved on which itself is a great thing. One thing which revolves around my mind is that today's generation is not that which keep its feelings only to them, but they try socializing themselves and breaking the stereotypes as well. Where I also think that they bear the strength to put up their voice. It depends on an individual whether how frank they are, how attractive they look and how systematic and diplomatic at times they are or are they understanding that how to remain unaffected or to get rid of such people. These are some of the key factors without which's balance it's difficult to remain dominant in society. All kind of people are there in our society, some are caring....some are just careless; some try to remove anti-social elements and some try to spread this "Virus" among us.....for which some "Anti-viruses" are required which can't be prepared in labs but by us itself. If suppose the person concerned, about whom I'm talking about reads it......it's my salute to her and will appreciate her for not taking it seriously, sharing it with all of us but making this incident fly away in air, which I want to be taken into consideration by all.......for a better living culture in urban as well as rural cultures.......!!!! :-)

Young minds on 'Fire'.....

Generally, people don't believe me that even I can write such blogs and some of them with deep thoughts. That's the thing about which even I worry.....sometimes my fellow mates doubt on me regarding it and I understand that students of my age won't have any interest in such things which is major issue. Okay Okay.....now let's move on the topic which is my priority as well.

Recently I was one of the students who were selected for Model United Nations, a simulation of the original United Nations conference. Researching and researching whole day long became habit those days and along with school chores on the head. Here one thing I always wanted to say but my shy nature comes between the path as most of my friends know that......I wanted to thank my 'extra-ordinary' teachers who had faith on me that I'll be able to have a face-off with such situation due to my immense hard work. For this I'll always be grateful to them but still I think I disappointed them a bit but don't know the reason why, for which I apologize.

During our committee sessions, we were there at Surat, Gujarat, for which I along with 27 others had a long journey which will remain in my instinct for life, just because of fun moments, new learning and how to cooperate with each other. Even it was an opportunity to know people personally rather than their diplomatic phase at school where I seniors were the one with who I was and even they were comfortable with me, hope so:-P but still believes. The sessions were just like a parliament.....but of foreign manner I.e. Calm and silent and not like the Indian one. We, as delegates of different countries tried to keep our views how to grow up the economy, where at times we opposed some of the delegates for their views. All the things were systematic by the way, just opposite of my own way of working.

It was obvious that 'politics' will be played at such events and it happened too. Taking sides of each other according to the 'deals' done to get votes in hand among them became common, where they did actually not know the negative or positive aspects behind it. Huh!!!! Disgusting it was but it depends on us that how we keep ourselves away from such incidents. Some of my fellow delegates, or either say from my school were a little ambitious, who at times lost faith over their self and gave up but thanks to our extremely frank and such understanding teacher escorts who taught them and even us to have believe in ourselves and never to give up.

Minds were seriously on 'fire' where limits of our conversation skills, understanding and at last knowledge were tested. Now it became our responsibility to make school's youngsters aware of it and even to attract them so that more and more participation can be seen. It's good that today's school and most importantly teachers have awakened now, where trying to enhance our interaction with world is found a crucial task which is either true. But it's time for me to make myself prepared for it.......till then be tuned!!!!!

Seniors know everything!!!!!!

Today we are living in such a surrounding where distractions are much more than inspirations. Its resultant is lack of concentration everywhere. Not only I believe but even our 'seniors' support this sentiment.

An incident took place a day before.....where one of our school's ex-head boy made a visit to my class. We thought that he'll just have some hi-hello and leave but who knew that he was all aware about us and a new chapter would be added up to our mind i.e. 'The improvements needed in us'. He just started off with some questions so that we can be frank with him but after this he moved to the original topic.....a sudden decrease in the results.

Here he targeted the distractions that most of the students suffer with, like social media, relationships and all which even he understands but also mentioned that all things have a right time. Also he emphasized over time management that adequate time an individual has but depends over how he/she uses it. But I also want to mention that nowadays the because of homework itself the whole schedule gets disturbed so nothing can be done here.

Discussions over the examination can't be left over......the nervousness; blank minds after seeing the paper were focused the most. Here attitude and over confidence was criticized at the foremost level. In my age group such things doesn’t matter much to them…ignorance can be seen but still thanks to that person who m gave a start to it. These things reflected his concern regarding us and confirmed my thinking that seniors are not that ignorant and we should regard the knowledge given to us by them. There were some who took his wordings just for granted but it strengthened my believe that if followed the path which he depicted for all.....surely a good outcome will come as resultant.

A really 'Silly' thing

People don't generally have blind faith over others except some of them. The most exceptions can be seen in the case of predictions made by priests and sages regarding any of the things, whether it is for future or present. Here I have an interesting topic to talk about.

Last month......a man named Shobhan Sarkar predicted that 1000 kg. Gold will be discovered from Unnao, a place in Uttar Pradesh. Here the 'craziest' thing was that even government took it an event of concern and Archaeological Survey of India was given the instructions to dig out at that specific place but the result which came out was just old utensils and other belongings.........and no sign of any gold, creating nuisance out there with the wastage of money, time and resources and even loss of faith over him.

It represents the 'Incredible' India. Where government just in the influence of a normal man starts digging out.....on the other hand it never ever listens to citizen's voice but after listening after this gold.........such incident took place. Ignorance of government towards people is common, but I never expected such stupidity from them. It also teaches us that these predictions and superstitions are just for sake of mind of some extremely crazy minds and a way of making money. Maybe....it was a just to gain attention of others. But one thing it proved that government can listen to people if tried in any such way....till then think of something like this :-P.......

Moving ahead on Gandhian Principle's....possible today??

First of all it has been a long time I haven't been in contact with this blog and it will take some time to regain the viewing rate again. It doesn't matter how much time it takes but the thing is that do people have a faith over my blogs. Now let's move on towards the topic.

 

Few days back.....Mahatma Gandhi's partner during his independence struggle i.e. His Charkha was put into an auction and was sold in around Rs. 1 crore. It sounds weird that our country's heritages are being sold on auctions. But this event brought a deep thought in my mind. Mahatma's belongings were the one which made us realize his motives & values that he wanted to be kept in mind by people. Now as his things are being auctioned....will our future generations be able to remember his values and the main thing which lies behind all this is that now even we aren't interested to follow him.

What even students of my age think is that it's just a joke to follow his morals because they find it 'silly'. And it's even difficult to move over with his principles as we don't have that strength to co-op up with it. Many people during some events like hunger strikes held at Delhi....compared social personalities like Anna Hazare to Gandhi but the truth is that no one can even get back to such a level. I even put up a question that is Mahatma Gandhi just left to be compared with all??? Nothing can be much disgraceful than it. People at Congress always talk about Gandhi's, Nehru's dreams but these all goes floating. 

He had such a tough life throughout, but yes he was at times criticized for his deeds but today, at present the condition what I see is that all are worried about their own future and they find social service an odd job.Today even they are scared of taking risks and putting them in such an act, which is somewhere due to the narrow thinking spreading nowadays....so it's a difficult one to encourage people to follow his principles and also it relies on the people....

I would like to add that if not followed such motives, still country will move on with no doubt. But the dissatisfaction I find is that no one is eager to even know Gandhi's background so which states that whether someone praises him or not but still there will be many who will criticize him forever but a sense of respect to be maintained then.

The moments I never ever thought of......

In my last blog I mentioned about the reason why I was there in Dehradun. We all felt bad when my grandfather left us with no 'hope'. It was for the first time that I saw all the rituals during a funeral and being a grandson I was also a part of it. I don't want to recall all that because some things you can't share. After all this sequence.....not being diplomatic, first time in my life I felt that one of the important part of my life has gone away. I respected him a lot but always being away from my native place always created a barrier that I wasn't that much attached.

But during these 13 days....lots of sequences took place, some were good and some were bad. But the most awaited thing was that my whole family was there for the same. So it's obvious that we had fun too. There I got a chance to know about my ancestors that where they belonged to; what all they did and many more, which is not normally possible. We all learned to co-operate with such atmosphere and recalled about our as well as their childhood. Overall I must say that here we all gained knowledge where not just by knowing about my family but also the brighter and darker side of the people which we get to know when we actually need them.

Here I also got a chance to have a look over our long old rituals which till now we follow. My grandpa's elder brother too confessed that we even follow rituals about which we don't have any knowledge and just continuing over with it. Quite strange but what can I do in that stage but seriously I think that we are bounded by such rituals and superstitions which will never let us upgrade our thinking. To come up from such stage....we should be judgmental that whether these superstitions are limiting us or not and if yes then try to prevent it.

Now it was the time to leave....the time where we managed to live in such conditions but made it suitable for us to live. Here we were also in hurry that our studies should not suffer but seriously this sequence taught me the importance of a family as I've never been in such conditions before which also made it much harder for me to escape it. We all got to know about each other's views....way of thinking, living and also its fun being together. When we get out of an atmosphere full of hustle-bustle, you'll try to find the same thing again when you get back and frankly speaking here I'm also going through the same stage. And really I would like to have such gathering again but this time for better cause. I'll be missing all my relatives I met and thanks to them for making me aware about good and bad happenings which can take place and can always have possibilities.

Overall this time period can referred as a ‘Bucket’ full of knowledge which all of us should have in our life because some things can’t be taught, just experiencing it can help you. Self-dependency and knowing the family values can make a person grow higher in life. Though this, I got to know about rituals our family is following from a long time, superstitions which needs to be removed which I along with my cousins and others found useless. And also try to know your family because one more problem I faced was that I was unable to recognize the members who belonged to my family. At last, I’m now back to my home, busy in my chores but still happy to remember those moments and trying to relive them again.

Making a mountain out of a mole hill.....

See we guys have developed a lot of interest in things going all around whether it is a verbal war between friends or just be a silly episode full of fussy things. But mind that such type of 'silly' episode can transform into a sudden clash between that members.  For one such incident, I was the spectator and I'm sure you'll really learn something from it but not violence actually.

In Dehradun, I was there for 13 days according to the rituals as recently my grandfather died due to pneumonia in lungs.....which either was shocking. It was the time to distribute invitations for the final prayers regarding the peace of his soul. So I went to one of my friend's home nearby for the same but even after requesting him he told me not to leave now and have a meet with all my relatives. Then for sake of his mind I agreed and started off with a course of conversation with them. And suddenly a small incident took place.

One of his aunts reached there, a horrible personality actually and was the eldest of my uncle's family. There without bothering about anything she ran towards kitchen as she was extremely hungry which showed her least bothering side  But there my friend's mother asked her whether she ate anything there or not without knowing that she was hungry as it was almost 4 pm. And huh!!!!! This turned to be the starting of a Great Verbal War where her aunt misunderstood the sentiment and started criticizing her family and her way of hospitality. There she was stopped by uncle and she went inside. Still a part is left. That angry aunt went inside and threw some her wet clothes on her sister-in-law to just keep it in sun for drying which was sort of humiliation where again a great fuss took place but it was very much embarrassing for my friend who was eager for an introduction with all of them.

You'll find this incident little bit weird but if you try to get into the depth of it you'll find that there was a difference in opinions and expectations where her aunt was wanting that she should be treated well as she was elder but both her deeds were totally wrong that she should understand that it's very much difficult to manage whole family where guests are also present and there in front of all she was treating them like anything. Also they both were not denying doing that certain work. Then being elder she should have some patience and think about her guest as she herself was a guest there.

Later being a part of discussion over solving this issue....I found that if you're dissatisfied with someone's behavior, try to have some distance which will not really affect that person's mind because we all have certain expectation as she wanted all things to be done according to her. These all are a part of family issues which gives us a sense of tackling the condition but it doesn't means that totally stop conversation so for that we can have some gatherings to create a neutral atmosphere.

So to prove the relevance of title.....here you may have got an idea of today's normal family where such sort of disputes is almost common. It depends on us whether what sort of impression we are creating over other members.

Killing the desires of our young generations.....only grades matters??

Today...we can consider this period as the "Terrorized Rule 0f Grades" where even capabilities are not being taken into consideration. Now anyone listening to this sentiment will surely try to deny it but believe me, without grades even god can't help you. Will this race lead a better tomorrow?? It can but after a long and long chase of grades through a great war between the young mighty minds. But I think not really......

Everywhere grades have specifically became an important aspect of life. Other than talking about sports, fashion, games....they go through a great discussion over the grades they got but here it seems to be quite weird that no one talks about what they gained from it. You may even find students afraid not for their performance but for the marks, sometimes even me. I also think that somewhere humiliation of students takes place in class as well, this rank and grades are responsible. It's correct that teachers have courtesy for them but especially pointing out someone can even create a wrong impression.

So in today's time....it becomes more important to flourish your abilities just because of increasing competition. These marks just reflect what you prepared...what you thought but not your views. A platform is always the need of the hour that is created but is insufficient due to lack of seats. What I'm trying to say is that Medical, Engineering are not the only fields left....try to extend the scope you have but the main thing is just do your best and never mind what marks you get because somewhere your abilities can become your future, it can be quite beneficial as well so try polish that skills....!!!!!! :-)

Mid-day meal.....the worst way a child can be served ???

The headlines for everyday news are "children being admitted in hospital...due to 'mid-day meal' " or "insects found in 'mid-day meal' ". It was started just to attract villagers to send their wards to school but today the condition is that they think ten times before sending them or be afraid of that will they be meeting their children in proper health. It just shrieks the instinct like hell.

Recently in Chapra district of Bihar, 23 children died and more than 40 admitted in critical condition when they had a meal in which a large amount of chemical fertilizers were found. Before moving forward towards other criticism. Let’s know what is mid-day meal. This programme was first started in Tamil Nadu to attract students towards schools and to serve them with some nutritious food that further came under National Rural Health Mission. Because of its success, it extended its boundaries to rest of India.

But afterwards a sudden carelessness was noticed in taking care of the grains, vegetables. Even adulterated items were then used in preparation just to decrease the cost of preparing food that has an adverse effect on children. A perfect example which shows the carelessness of authorities or NGOs which took place recently in Uttar Pradesh where a died frog was found in the vegetable to be served to children which was fortunately pointed out children. Another example we take is of Kishangarh, Rajasthan where houseflies and other insects were found in the meal. But in becomes a bit controversial as the food was served by a NGO that is run by Esher Judge Ahluwalia, wife of Montek Singh Ahluwalia (Vice-Chairman of Planning Commission).  

What thinking it creates is that providing food to children is just a 'joke' for them. What all arrangements these ministers make when they plan for a party or gathering.....best of the hotels, caterers with a large variety of cuisine made available to them but what these children want is just a meal to fulfill their body needs, but unfortunately passive citizens will always remain the same. Now if they want to add the corrupt aspects in it...so what can be done? So shall our country move over or put a stop to Mid-day meal???

Modern education system: A boon or bane....!!!!!!

We all are aware about how certain changes have occurred in last one decade. Classes well equipped with modern teaching techniques, trained and experienced teachers provided with extracurricular activities. At an extent it seems to be the best any student can get but taking you to the other side of it, is it distracting students from studies.

Today it's very common that you see students not at all bothered about their studies, just busy in having fun. In olden days students were having too much of burden for studies which was not good but was enough to keep students busy in studies. As exams related stress is being reduced, home works have been reduced and at the place of half yearly exams, we have Cycle tests. It made our studies easy but some are taking it in wrong sense....becoming ignorant towards it. System was made easy for our betterment so that we can take interest in it but what's happening is just opposite.

Nowadays we also get projects like preparing files, presentations, charts which not only makes us proficient in it but also gives us chance to get some bonus marks in it but there are some those who don't want such golden chance and in turn show carelessness that somewhere they will get marks through evaluations. So isn't it creating carelessness in students.....some will agree but most will not. It's our pleasure that we're getting such an environment to study but are we taking advantage of it?? Ultimately it will lead to misuse. Sports and all is not everything, it just helps us in keeping ourselves fit, mentally as well as physically but students are just rushing towards it. It's good for them those who want to make future in it but what about those who are not giving attention neither towards studies nor on sports...god knows. So which system you support???? 

Ufff...Even god is not safe of terrorism; isn't it terrible!!!

Topics have no limit around us....it can be anything- from a small room to whole world but it depends on you whether what's your point of view. Most of my friends questioned me that can't you think beyond serious issues?? It made me spell bound totally. That I want you all to examine my thinking skills (if you want you can comment). Recently there took place serial blasts at Bodhgaya in Bihar. Fortunately no casualty took place. But the thing doesn't stops here because that's not for the first time it happened.

Most of us are aware about how sacred places are targeted all the time, not only in India but in all religious-centered countries where just religion is everything. Terrorists just need a chance to show their anger and to spread their terror all around. There are several incidents such as Ajmer Dargah blasts, Akshardham Temple blasts and many others which shook the hearts of pilgrims. But the similarity in both the cases was that both took place at the time when lots and lots of people were together gathered to take the blessings but blessings are of use till the life exists.

I don't even disagree with the sentiment that the recent attack can even be a political conspiracy as it was seen in the Chhattisgarh naxalists attack took place in the month of May. But I'm talking about attacks that totally made security agencies a deaf and dumb personality. It's great that 2 more bombs were diffused within the remaining time, but the question which arises is that is the security control that weak that anyone can enter the premises without checking. See, through mistakes people get to know their negative aspects and try to learn as we can see the security condition of Ajmer Dargah and Akshardham today, total coverage of security along with regular checking. So we can expect some changes in Bodhgaya from now but does it need another chance for it...depends on them. It even reflects the cruel mentality terrorists have, they believe in Jihad and want others to follow it but that's also India.....whether terrorist’s attacks or natural calamities take place. But people have too much faith in god that they won't leave him till they die. But whatever it is....try to be as safer as you can because the fact is that life is much more precious than all other elements.

Is it easy to maintain a balance between your personal problems and studies.....?

 

While writing this blog I was in Dehradun. After a long time I met my family ones, relatives and neighbors as well. As usual I felt bad when I was going back going back to Gandhidham and that's human nature that whenever you're fond of something you can't get away from it. Then just think what will be your condition when one of your loved ones gets in a severe problem and needs your helps???.....surely you'll give your best but when we talk about making balance between your work or studies and condition like I mentioned??

I as a student will talk about condition of studies. At Dehradun I met one of my aunts nearby but on the other side very much frank with them. So we were talking about the same topic then only she told me about the problem her children faced. In year 2003, her husband faced a tragic accident so it became her daughter's responsibility to take care of him but also her 12th standard exams, so what she did was that after her father felt sleepy or busy watching TV, she went in other room at hospital and studied for it but scored well. Now let me tell you about the situation what my aunt's son.

He was in 8th standard that time and also took care of his father. But during 9th standard, he passed through a deep depression as he got to know that his father's leg will be amputated which even affected his 10th's board exams result, failed in that and after 11th standard he decided not to carry on with his studies as what he thought was that now his only work is to help his father at shop, loading unloading the medicines and only thought of making money.....and left studies behind.

This story you'll find little bit boring but what I intended to say is that how some can even manage to complete their goals in tough conditions whereas some just try to get away from it.....giving excuses out of their problems but that's not the solution. Such type of condition is sometimes common. Thing which can help them to get rid of it is moral support; you may find it weird but it's true. In conditions like this it is important to have support from family members but also there should be a communication between them. These are some small aspects which can help us even in major or minor problems. So here I'll also try to sort out some problems which we all face in our life but till then make sure don't get diverted from your goals..... :-)

This year's journey of Kedarnath-Badrinath.....a journey of salvation or hell (Part 2)

Even the natives are in such a condition that they are struggling a lot for their own survival, with no house to live; no tourism will lead to no earnings for them which will directly affect them. So will the government take any decision regarding the re-establishment of their homes?? Let’s see.

What I think is that now the areas which are highly affected through floods should not be taken into consideration as a perfect place for residential purpose so it’s a chance for them that they can even shift these people to other place in lower regions of Uttarakhand. I also think that nature has given us a lesson that if we don't respect nature....nature will never ever respect us.

The continuous landslides at Devprayag, Pauri, Srinagar and Rudraprayag just reflect that what wrong exercises have been performed, continuous cutting of mountains for dams, highways. Even other reason for it is that Himalayan Mountains are actually made of sediments which restrict us from having large projects over it.

Here I would like to specially mention the efforts made by our Indian army, the personnel’s of ITBP, CRPF and Indian Air Force who are working continuously, day and night to save the victims, better than our ministers who just come to show their faces. Now taking you towards the political point of view. Right now you might be aware that how Uttarakhand Government has refused to take any help from state government just because of Mr. Narendra Modi as they don't want him to be famous among people showing their jealousy towards him.....as he's considered to be a powerful candidate for next year's election. But what I think is that it's the time when every state government should come forward with a helping hand and they should happily accept it as it will show the unity. (My own view)

In each and every incident taking place, politics is directly or indirectly related to it. That's natural that two opposite parties will always try to find out each other's negativity just to publicize but when comes on severe issues, so politics should be kept aside which creates obstacles for others. I don't know whether how much time it will take to make the conditions normal, but that's sure that it will be a challenge for government that how it tackles up the heavy destruction taking place.

This year's journey of Kedarnath-Badrinath.....a journey of salvation or hell......

It's so much fun when we decide to have a trip to a place which gives you a peace of mind and also a relief from everyday life. Sometimes it becomes someone's dream to visit a certain place once in his lifespan, especially sacred places. They take leave from work, pack their bags and with full enthusiasm get on towards their destination. But who knew that such a journey can also become someone's last journey.

Most of us are aware about what happened at Uttarakhand in last few days. Such a tragic turn it took....Since last 15 days of vacation I was in Dehradun, my native place where we met some conditions due to which we didn't had much fun there....but during our last days we met such conditions that I haven't seen in my life yet. It rained continuously for four days, breaking a record of 88 years. So you can easily imagine what kind of situation it would be- landslides, falling of trees but also an invitation to water-borne diseases but what about those who took so much risk to travel through the dangerous valleys of Badrinath-Kedarnath just to find salvation.

It was a sudden shock for those who were already there at Kedarnath, Rudraprayag and Gaurikund and near Gauchar, Uttarkashi where a continuous flow of traffic was going upwards and was not an easy to put a stop over it. At the night of 15th June, a sudden flow of water through Himalayas washed of everything which came in its way. People, just to save their life got into the Kedarnath temple premises but who knew that even this sacred place was not safe from this natural disaster and which took away several lives. 

From the very next day, disastrous news about these floods and landslides. Here I would like to appreciate the efforts made by the media, whether it is for increasing TV ratings....but then also that reporters are taking an initiative to know the condition of people there, connecting them with their loved ones keep their lives in risk. But now getting on to the topic...I was totally shocked that even such things can happen, people grieving for their lost ones, starving for food and water with all their belongings shattered off.

Then even the other state governments stepped forward for helping the tourists by sending helicopters, providing food, announcing donations for them....even our president Mr. Pranab Mukherjee gave his salary. And this sequence is still in motion; CRPF personnel’s donated their one day salary. You'll find all these things as a sign that they have a sense of care for them but what was actually happening during this tragic incident.

There took place a shameful event, while the time the premises of Kedarnath were cleared.....the people who belonged to nearby village just looted the donations from the temple. Not only this....money & jewelry from dead bodies were taken away by the villagers as well....revealed by some of the victims. Also its the time when all things should be made available to the victims at a low price but the thing went in opposite side, things are sold at much higher costs which made them more helpless.

To be continued.............

Is Mt. Everest just meant for making records....Is anyone really worried about it????

Today we all aware about young mountain climbers like Raghav Juneja...who are creating wonders and what I think is that when a 15 years old boy can climb it...so there will be a time when there will be no limit of age for people to go on Mt. Everest. But I'm not here to tell you about record makers or breakers just want to make you aware about the other side of it.

 Year 1953, when Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary created wonder by challenging the tough terrains of Everest. Till that time no one was in a position to face it, but today it's made easy through trainings. As it is obvious that climbing this enormous mountain is not at all a simple job, so several equipments are needed along with food and other accessories. So throughout the way they're continuously using those things but do they take care that whether that trash is dumped properly or not or the atmospheric conditions are suitable or not??? Not at all.

Recently an interview was done with a Mt. Everest climber who told the condition of garbage which is increasing day by day but no one is bothered about it. It was told that objects like oxygen cylinders, food wrappers, poly bags are left behind by climbers near their camps and along their way, also the level of CO2 is increasing there due to increase in the climbers in last 10 years. Last year there was a day when 230 climbers were on their way at the same time. Now just think that if such type of chaos will be created, so what will happen....will natural beauty remain the same?? 

It's good that people are trying to challenge and getting against the toughest conditions of nature but when it comes on preserving that same so reactions are different. The thing is not only to achieve that but also to have a sense of respect for it because one day that nature can spoil human civilization. Till now many have tried to climb this beautiful but risky peak....some succeeded, some not and some lost their life. Now it is proved that human has customized itself to face such condition, so is it still required to take risk and face the tough situations of Mt. Everest....the enormous, what do you think???

Are Modern trades taking over General trades????

In today's fast moving world....modernity has made everything easily accessible. One simple example is of malls and super markets which can easily be seen around us. But what about the local markets then??? Will it also affect the middle class???

If we talk about a middle class family....it has to take care of its budget a lot, thinks about saving money at times because we know that even a single penny counts......but then their budget allows them to buy things from a local market. Now the condition is that everywhere these malls and super markets are making their place. Many times it attracts people but when it comes on prices so some of people try to make a distance from it.

Few days back I was in Ajmer and went to a local market with some of my relatives. It was fun having look at other people moving from shop to shop, chatting with each other, selecting things of their choice and bargaining over it...so I found them comfortable with that atmosphere. At the same time we planned to have a visit to a mall nearby.....malls are always fantastic, loaded with modern features, new showrooms, restaurant and blah, blah...

The condition is applicable not only in Ajmer but each and every city which is developing at a fast rate and being a part if cosmopolitan culture. Here the difference which I saw was the sort of crowd we had, the difference of the class of people there and also the difference in the cost of the goods. As malls are day by day increasing...local markets are losing their profits and importance. So just think about it that what will happen to the middle-class or lower class??? Will it be able to survive then???

In cities like Gurgaon, Noida people are ought to buy goods from super markets only because they don't have any other option. So here again comes a role of government, the great. Even in malls the things are sold on much higher costs than the local ones and the reason is the implementation of taxes over goods by government. And also Foreign Direct Investment is coming into action which will even create more exposure for super markets like Wal Mart and many more.

It's very much understood that each and every person can't afford such type of luxury. But then markets should not be neglected as it's a source of income and livelihood for thousands of people, providing people their daily needs, fashion accessories. Remember that these markets were the one who first made things easily accessible to us. So what I think is that malls are making it easier for people to shop for goods of their needs but a limit should be made for goods so that markets don't face lose in their trades and so there will be an equal flow of shoppers in both the sides and will be in favor of all types of classes, breaking the distinctions between all... 

Hey...!!! Can we think over it ones....

 

Before I started over with my work of blog writing, it was important for me to have knowledge about what are the major things which are affecting people a lot and I had interest in it from last 5-6 years. So many topics I found regarding social violence, protests and all but the major one of them, which I feel is still prevailing all around the world is that how youngsters have changed their requirements and attitude towards others.

If we look back in 20th century, from which even our parents & grandparents belong, you'll find that they had very less requirements and lived happily in whatever condition they had. They were not a part of any social media, didn't had habit of watching television and mobile services were not present even. Even if today our parents are on social sites, just because of official requirements or if they want to be social.

But what all needs youths have on Facebook, whatsapp is just to chat with friends whether we know them or not, share pictures and etc. Also sites like YouTube are used to spread abusive, sexual content. So these are the things which affect our life socially.

But let's have a look on the other side of requirements youth has developed. On news channels, many of us may have noticed how nowadays crime level is increasing and In that we can find some youngsters as well who are just involved in it to fulfill their needs for money. Sometimes they steal money from house, force someone or may harm their parents if they didn't satisfy their needs. And all these evil deeds to fulfill their addictions of liquor, drugs and even for gambling. So it also puts a question mark over the guidance and teachings they're getting from their parents.  

It's also proved that we get attracted more towards negative aspect than positive ones. So most of the times what happens that parents only don't want to have a look over what their child is doing and be in their own world of work but have they ever thought that just their one step like this can spoil their child's life. Such situation occurs with parents living in metro cities nowadays that they don't have time for their them and this is because of the modernity they have accepted. That's you may find students from small cities have more interest towards studies and activities whereas in metro cities or urban ones no one is there to stop these children from getting behind negative things.

Here I just intended to reflect the requirements which today's youngster has developed. If you look at olden times....you may find that people that time were far more hard-working, not addicted to bad activities and lived in a peaceful manner. But today whole situation is different. According to me we should have a habit of living in normal way because as your demands will be fulfilled, you will then ask for more and more, which can even lead to addiction of it so parents should not be forced for it because it's over to you that whether you use things in an appropriate way or not........ So are you getting on a right way??

Voting is our right...why we're not using it??

 India....being one of the world's biggest democracy has an also inspired many other countries as well to follow the path of democracy. First of all....in a democracy, people have equal right to vote and elect their representatives but are we using our power in an appropriate way???

Voting was considered in our constitution from the very first years of its implementation. Then late Mr. Rajiv Gandhi (Ex. Prime Minister) implemented Universal Adult Franchise through every citizen above age of 18 got the right to vote. Even after so much of rights, people pay no attention towards voting. Why is it so???

The reason is that some consider voting as wastage of time because they find standing in long queue a silly thing. Another one is that they try to express their anger through not giving vote as they are dissatisfied with their representative and sometimes people are not aware of their rights, which mostly happens in rural regions. What government should do to overcome such condition???

Now here people should think in a matured way and remove this sort of thinking that standing in queues is silly as that's the way to maintain people. Not giving vote is a wrong way of showing dissatisfaction as we can improve that mistake by giving vote to another candidate. Government should be active in organizing workshops in rural regions to make them aware not only about voting, but also about the rights they have to save themselves from exploitation. It's also our responsibility not only for adults but for teenagers to be aware of our rights, never consider voting just as granted because it affects you for next five years. So elect your candidate smartly....please give vote and be a respectable citizen.

Vulgarity in movies & songs, why it is not regarded as wrong step??

Nowadays entertainment is regarded as one of the important part of a youngster's life and around which they revolve. That's the thing which is reaching people much faster than government policies. Almost everybody is now habitual of listening music. Some people don't even start their work without having some music around them. But everything has its own drawback and today's music is getting towards vulgarity....can it be regarded as a correct step???

If we turn back to our golden times of music.....which had our legendary singers like Kishore Kumar, Mohammad Rafi and many more which were even influenced by our country's culture. But here we can also say that even our taste changed time to time. Till 1970s, we had a mixed session of romantic and as well as sad music. But when we reached in 1980s, singers like Asha Bhonsle, Bappi Lehri came with an idea to sing on theme of disco, firstly inspired by western culture. But nobody knew that it was a welcome to vulgarity in Bollywood music.  

During 1990s, singers thought of getting more influenced by western culture but still we had singers like Alka Yagnik, Kumar Sanu and more which created a platform for existence of full-fledged music regarding Indian Culture. But during this period we got a new term for singers called rappers which gave a new look to songs making it a little more westernized. 

As a drawback, during starting of this period most singers from the 1980-90s lost their existence which gave singers of modern era a chance to give people a new sort of choice which also brought to us a new concept of creating re mixes. It was also a time where people were more eager to accept the western culture. As a result, American bands like Green day, Linkin Park also gained popularity in India and now the condition is that most youngsters are attracted to towards singers and bands of western oriented countries. But these are the one who made vulgarity a part of music.

Today, Bollywood music is getting vulgar and vulgar, not because of writers and singers but due to the negative aspects which has taken place in our society. Latest singers like Honey Singh say that they are only reflecting the type of thinking our society has but isn't it's their responsibility to create or bring a change in negative aspect our society has. Now movies and songs even contain sexual, abusive content which is attracting youngsters. Don't they think what impact it will leave on youngsters.....Will it create a better thinking in them??? Not at all so why don't they put a stop over it??

It's also our fault that we've created interest in it. Things run over our interest; if we start boycotting it, naturally it will be stopped by its own. So it’s better to maintain a sense of respect and interest for songs of our golden period. Also it’s important for youngsters not to get attracted towards songs, movies with vulgarity which affects their thinking, making them a part negative aspect. I personally believe that if we remove these bits of negative aspects.....so that life will be much prosperous as well as safer.......
