The Abyss

-
This time I would be coming straight to the point and no prologues. The abyss is an account of the over sensitive souls who empathize with every single person which has ever faced any “big” hardship.
I do not intend to mock you and I have sincere respect for your emotions but there is something about your view point that, to be very honest annoys me.
Seriously folks, how can you be such big time pessimists? When the almighty gave you an open opportunity to get inspired and do well, you actually saw the negative in that.
You may call me heartless but your views from my perspective are mindless.
Every one of us knows about Thomas Edison and we all must be knowing that he was nearly a dumb, unfit for school child who was home schooled. He was in no sense of this world a normal child.
Louis Braille, the blind man, unflinched by his handicap produced what many couldn’t. When others just went by pitying at him, he created a medium for many of his likes to read and be a part of the crowd.
Now, let us come to US, the “normal people”. We see someone in great pain and our reaction is pity. We see someone in even greater pain, our reaction is more pity and some tears and finally, we see someone battling his/her destiny, our reaction; well that goes many steps ahead.
We start blaming our lives, our struggles, our wishes and everything we ever wanted or worked for. We dive into that abyss of sorrow where honestly we needn't be.
If something bad happened to someone, why blame yourself for that when you are not in any way a reason for it.
Why not take it like, this could have happened to you too but it didn’t; which means that you have been sent to this world to accomplish things that others couldn’t; to do good for others and to touch lives as positively as possible.

The people whom you saw and turned gloomy are actually hidden inspiration for you.
Remember Baba Amte, he was moved by the despicable condition of the people and worked for their improvement.
If you are touched by someone’s miseries then don’t just sit and let tears roll down your eyes, because when tears come out, they wash away every single spark that could have ignited your soul.
If you are touched, then touch people’s lives through your works. Do not indulge in mindless display of emotions. Yes! Mindless I say because you never once though that when you were pitying people’s situations, you were unknowingly showing disrespect for their spirit which got them this far.
Respect them for what they are. None in this world deserves to be pitied at.
Admire them for their courage and if you really want to do something, then don’t just sit back; go ahead and work.
You are fortunate enough to be the better off. Make the most of this opportunity and do the best you can for you never know when it won’t be yours.

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...
