IS IT LIBERTY

-

It happened some summers back when I was having a get together or rather "PAY EQUALLY N EAT TOGEDR" with some of my friends...........
We started a discussion on whether all rules imposed on d students at school are ok or not...........

we were some of the idle minds on work as we all had been enjoying our holidays for long now..........

one of my friend said that having short hair for boys...cutting nails.....wearing sober and not stylish uniforms was something that shouldn’t be interfered into by d school......its solely a child's wish d way he wants to live n this for our info was his definition of liberty.................

we were 5 friends sitting there but I would say that it ended up to be a one on one talk between me and him

I on the contrary was of d view that this will lead to anarchy n that every place has got a code of conduct which every person associated with that place z supposed to follow...........

he gave me substantiating points like a person has full right to think n do as he/she likes so long it doesn’t interfere with other people...........

I had d same view but if we think n examine closely, we'll find that every such callous n callow attitude this in some way or d other interfere wd d functioning of the organization.........


though that time I had not many reasons to support I read something in d newspaper that would definitely stand for my point....

acc to ISAIAH BERLIN " LIBERTY IS OF TWO TYPES--POSITIVE N NEGATIVE. A positive liberty z something that ensures all d rights to a person without creating problems for others....................

what my friend talked of was nothing but negative liberty,...........if all are upto themselves y need parents , y need teachers, y need anything ..we can do all ourselves,..........


be wt acc to d place  r in..........

respect other’s liberty n enjoy your own...............



making fun of others may not harm dm but it definitely harms u .......such n a lot I can quote to support...can u still negate me?????????????

The new life and some takes..

So, its almost a week at IIM Indore, Mumbai Campus and since I haven’t written any thing for almost a month; I feel that it is my moral obligation to write and enlighten the world which had been so deprived of some food for thought. The weather here is as fickle as any chameleon can get, the sky changing colors every now and then and you getting drenched in the rains, all wet and then within ten minutes you have all dried up due to the pinching, dense sunshine. Assignments are pouring in and the freshers had been a blast. The past week had been so busy that these four days’ off seems absurd. In the midst of all these, I am actually enjoying what people call the “perks of being at a premier institute in India”.  I would thus share two most peculiar ones  with you and in italics will be my take on them. 1. Suddenly I realised that people have started believing in my talent. The question mark on my abilities is gone just because I happened to garner a ...

"GORI" Kahi ki

"She is very beautiful, look how fair she is", came the expert comment. I looked up and saw a girl fair enough but average looking. Might be the jealousy in me changed my views, or maybe I was just being a fair judge. Lets come to the point now, fair or white skinned or "gorapan"; somehow I do not understand the fuss surrounding it. So many fairness creams in the market and the figures show that the sales keep increasing. The dark skinned ones want to be fair, the fair ones want to be even more fair. The Television ad goes like, something something nikhaar in such a few days. And the fairness, my god; you will not need a bulb when lights go off. Oh c'mon do you think I'll believe that?? Well actually I do and I try it out and then psychologically I feel that yes it is working. But after a few days, am back to my normal self, not looking that fair the much I wanted to. And sometimes, I go to a party with so much makeup piled on that I look so artifici...

Importance of Being “A-theist”

-
S unday, usually is the day when I prefer spending the whole day reading; the first half reading the news paper and the second half, reading anything I lay my hands upon. Today, I read an article about an atheist who went about defying the customs emphasizing on the futility of the multiple hours people waste  worshiping  and performing rituals. I, have been for a part of my life an atheist, I was very much a devoted  worshipper  before that and presently I hang somewhere in between. I do not deny the existence of God, not because I know of it but because I do not consider it to be a topic to waste my time thinking about. If He is there, He can well be and do His work like I am doing mine. I respect Him because maybe I have been told to do so or maybe because I believe in Him. One thing for sure is that I respect Him. I do not prefer sitting in the rituals, I do not really follow the day based customs of cutting your nails or washing your hair and I do not...
