WHAT IS GOING ON?

We always desire for something more than we can actually take! May it be something small like a chocolate or something as big as the moon. I've also cried and whined and thrown tantrum for many things,things that i actually did not need! We cannot really blame anyone for desiring something......usually it is power and wealth and lastly comes love!

I moved to India almost three years ago. Even though I belonged to India I hardly visited. The only time I heard bout India was when my father would tell me his childhood stories and the only time I had seen India was when he would show me some of his old pictures. He would always boast about India saying "its a place where money is not what matters, its people's emotions".

Little did my Dada know that the India he is talking about is now hidden behind the selfish desires and never ending greed of the people in India today!

Whenever anyone has to talk about India they talk about the wide range of dialects and diverse culture and tradition that has originated in India. But where are these traditions and where is the culture today? Yes....it does exist but only in some parts of India  and very little effort is being made to protect or spread these dying tradition.

I may be ill-experienced to be saying all this, but a country's true culture lies in the way people of that particular  country behave. India used to be a place where people were warm and hospitable,but now when people talk to anyone its mainly for their own good!

"agar main usse baath karoonga tho mera kya fayda hoga?" this is the thing that runs in everyone's mind! Somewhere in all this greed and commotion is that old India, that everyone talks about, is waiting to be freed.

I am living in a country where the bank interest for Educational loan is more than that of the car loan. As per few statistics it seems that India is having more money in the Swiss banks than any other country which makes India the richest of the world. Who said India is not a developed country? India is a country which is developed in an improper way,With its mammoth population and the problems it is facing like poverty, corruption, rural awareness and the company of greedy politicians daunting any active socialist. 

My Hindi teacher told us a loootttt about this in class today....she kept telling us to fight for a cause and take a stand. But how do we do it is my question. Who is going to listen? will anyone care to support?

Poor Anna Hazare. He tried but we are 'Indians" after all.....its easy to stub our voices and shut us up. Many of us have tried but there is no one to listen to us,that's why most of us have given up. I do wanna make a difference but its frustrating when what you are doing is going for a waste!

Yes yes..........I know what you are thinking "why don't you go do something instead of talking soo much?"

I will ,I will do something when I know its going to make a difference!

DARK SECRETS

All of us have at least one secret which actually remains a secret for a very long time. Most of the times we tend to die with this little dark secret of ours.

In a world where we cannot live without depending on every other person whom we cross ways with,what is the need to hide things. is it the fear of being accepted? or is the fear of being the butt of all jokes?

or are we simply soo scared that we do not even want to try!

Most of the times once we have committed a mistake, we don't even try to make things better! We don't try to rectify our mistakes.....instead we tend to start a series of lies and deceive soo many people on the way that this becomes a whole new secret!!

For some reason when i woke up today i was determined to give my secret, that I've been hiding in this dark place in some corner of my mind and heart, out to the world. I was ready to face the consequences and was ready to take all the mocking and teasing. But...............ah! there always is a "but"..............just when I was going to give my secret out, I realized that if I were to tell this dark secret along with it I would actually have to start explaining my whole way of life! And that was something i wasn't ready to do! 

Sometimes we make decisions that we think is right and that might lead to us getting hurt or some one else getting hurt. In these circumstances it is best that we let these secrets remain a secret forever. 

For who knows.....maybe people pretend to listen only because they are curious and not because they care! or maybe your secret might result in the alteration of a person's life other than your's, in a whole new dimension that you havent even imagined! Now that i think of it............spiderman wouldn't be able to catch the bad guys if everyone knew his secret :-D 

Ah........how exiting it is to be human :p
