Ramblings on my part......

The greatest battle which an individual encounters is only from within. (A very popular quote)…. Which I say holds true and could relate to each and every one of us…
All of us are fighters I mean we keep fighting our fears at one point or other in our lives. As children darkness could have been our greatest fear, why not many grown ups still harbor this fear. The foolishness of some of the fears is noteworthy but who am I to judge which is trivial and which is not. And whether we conquer the fear or learn to live with it is a matter of personal choice.
I would say it takes strength to own up and a person who accepts the fear will be closer to conquering it than any other who shows empty courage of having already conquered it…..
Hmm to say what I am doing right now only reflects the age old, 100% true saying: It is easier to preach than practice.
Our personal journey gives us, a lot of trials by fire. Each and every one of us have had points when we question our existence, the reason we are here, the deeper meaning, the real truth, why I need to fight and go on …… I mean call it whatever I would say we all seek a reason so that things have meaning to us… The reason validates our personal journey and helps us proceed and justify our actions. Hmm again I seem to wander with my thoughts but what I mean to say is that the reason we seek or choose is our inspiration … (Clearly I seem to be very mixed up with my thoughts!)
Ok to put it simply I would say that we need a reason to go on, the reason to do what we do…and the reason varies with the individual and no one can be a good judge to criticize the other…….
This is so unlike me but guess ramblings are a part of everybody’s system…….

THE DEBATE WHICH IS ON.....

I may receive much criticism for the posting that follows. I strictly base this writing on what I consider is my understanding of the subject; what I have witnessed from my briefest of contact with real rural India and which I have debated with myself a million times. 33% reservation for women!!!!!!!! This has been taken up as the call of the hour the need of our times……I say why not….. QUESTION: Women have always wanted EQUALITY in our society; so why now this 33% reservation………. THE REALITY: EQUALITY has for long been the passion of women’s movement worldwide; just like other how everyone who is socially conscious longs for peaceful, just, equal world. But is this so in the real context. What we long for needs time for achievement. But progressive aspects like “EQUALITY” happen only when De Jure and De Facto fall on similar planes ………… In reality women lack equal footing in many cases, this 33% would be a boost towards achieving a push forward. Also women Panchayat leaders are looki

Carnage

Untimely events shape the outcome of many circumstances. These events can alter the setting of any entity. The constant splatter of raindrops seemed as an intruder in the otherwise quite graveyard. The shower seemed to challenge the stillness of the graveyard with its thunder and lighting. These events however made no difference to the lone man standing by the freshly marked grave. The grave served as nothing more than a door unlocking the innocent dreams of the past.......... The shrieks of joy served to create an electrifying atmosphere in the playground. This joyous kingdom of innocence is probably the only place where celebration of life never ceased. Waqar trudged along the muddy path towards the playground. Following him Aaliya walked hurriedly to keep pace with him. On reaching the playground Waqar searched for his closest buddy, Padma. Padma on seeing them, rushed to join her buddies. The trio basically inseparable joined the other children in the game of hide and seek. A bolt

Mourning for our media

Rape, Murder, Molestations, Harassment's….have become a part of daily life but still we purposefully avoid the seriousness of issues. And this is well recognized and projected effectively by our loyal consumerism promoting Fourth Estate (who by the way follow point-blank guidelines set by the elite and socially powerful individuals) In fact they even go to an extent of justifying their media content by labeling themselves as “Infotainment Channels” and not merely the clear cut/ straightforward “News Channels”. You see “News Channels” need to have a political stand on issues, They have to be a responsible media, They have be mirrors of our society, They need focus to be the “change elements”……………. Unfortunately this is asking for too much from our celebrity crazed, advertisement dependent, TRP bound News …uhm.. Sorry Infotainment channels. The numerous problems of evictions, displacements and lopsided development projects do not find their place in today’s media: Instead celebrity w
