hypocrisy nationalised!!

India, unfortunately, is hypocrisy nationalised. We are hypocrisy en masse, like it, or not.

Every thing is shrouded with hypocrisy. Politics!!! Congress claims itself to be a secular party, it is???? Why is nothing being done about the mass Christian cleansing (as they call it) in Orissa??? BJP, the Hindutva Party claims it has no ties with RSS or bajrang dal for that matter? looting, plundering, raping and killing all goes in the name of God? or interestingly, raping and killing and saying "bharat mata ki jai!!!!" Well, this is what is happening!!! Tell me if it means otherwise. How many gods are there by the way?? And how many care about defection of their devotees anyways!!!!

Leave politics. Lets take the society. You would like to believe that caste does not play much role in the Indian society these days. Every caste is subdivided into sub castes and sub sub castes and it all comes to fore at the time of marriages, social interations and who you may want to hang out with. I will give the example of Sikhism, I am a sikh by the way, no credit or discredit i deserve for it and so even the innocent girls and women being raped and burnt alive in Orissa right now or people killed in Gujarat genocide in 2002, they just happened to be born to a muslim family and they could not decide that!!!!!! By the way, Sikhs can be jats, ramgariye, khatris or the likes. I am not sure. Now Arora happens to be a major caste, which is subdivided into many more categories, this apparently means that you may be a gupta falling under the Arora umbrella!!!

Take sex. Oh!! its a taboo na. why, we are the second most populated country in the world and will leave China way behind in a decade or so. Where are these children coming from?? It is a taboo, how can you talk about it??? Parents cannot talk about it to their children, schools cannot talk about it to students, although principals can molest their students and every second girls are molested on the streets of the capital, every second!!! If nothing else, it is so easy to say, "hi sexy" and move on!!! Women get raped everyday and no one gives a damn, these news just become a matter of routine, don't they!!!

I will stop here, I can go on and on, it won't help anyone, not solve anything, I wish i could and I hope I will be.

Mera bharat mahan!!!

i read it somewhere, I dunno where...

I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school. They don't teach you how to love somebody. They don't teach you how to be famous. They don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. They don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. They don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. They don't teach you anything worth knowing!!!

being a Man!

‘If’ by Rudyard Kipling
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!

My values

These are the values I live by and they will hold true in any situation and circumstance Non negotiable.

My values:

Passion
today, I am adding passion to the top of my value list. My life from here on, will be driven by passion. How do I define passion? Passion is madness, a will to xcel, to work day and night, to lose yourself in the pursuit, passion is when what you do is equal to who you are.

i am passionate about health, growth, respect, honesty, integrity, love, excellence.

 Health- the 40 minutes that I commit to exercise are arguably the most important minutes of my day. They will not be sacrificed at any cost. I will eat food that nourishes my body. I will not smoke or drink. Energy is my name, vibrance is my word. Health and vitality, that of body and mind are my top priority
Growth- I want to grow every single day. In order to achieve that, I must do something differently or something I have never done before.
 Respect- Relationships are all that matter in this world and the one most important factor driving relationships is mutual respect. Respect has to be earned and not assumed for any reason. It stands true for me and for my people I interact with. If there is no mutual respect, there is no basis for a relationship
 Honesty- I will be honest and transparent in my dealings with my dealing with people. If something is right for me, it is right for anyone else as well, otherwise its hypocrisy and I abhor it.
 Integrity- I will do what I say I will do. I will under promise and over deliver. I will vote for the deserving candidate and I will not accept what I do not deserve.
 Love- I am genuinely interested in the welfare of all my fellow beings. I will love them and listen to them. My guiding reasons to decide the right courses of action would be things that I would love to do and will benefit a large amount of people. People are more important than things and what I love doing is more important than what can get me more money. This value means loving actions from my side. You go to a relationship to give love. Period.
 Excellence- I play to win. I hate mediocrity. I will not do things that I am not great at. I will play table tennis because I love to play it and I think that I can beat anyone on it given time and practice. Same applies to everything I do. I will do what I can be the best at.
