~ Reflections ~

You and me... we talk.. discuss...  pen down our philosophies.. the challenges we face.... We are the Surplus educated.. And this is what the concern of (what he himself calls), a little educated man can result in... Kudos !!!

A man is free to use the streets as his toilet, and flick out their p**** not bothering who all they are showing it off to.... And the slightest sign of a cleavage is sufficient to say that women don't dress up properly... they provoke the "man"kind... And then we talk about Gender Equality !!!!

Midnight MG Road, Gurgaon Inside a Car Waiting No street lights Long queue of trucks Truck drivers You enter the Car And I weep . . . . . . . . . Finally relieved that I am not all alone PS:  What amazes me is our vulnerability in such a situation... no one can understand unless they experience it..

Few know what we deserve... and even fewer get what we deserve... Because in our view, we always have a justification to give.. an answer worthy of the situation... It is for the other to decide... to react as per their senses... Because there ought to be a greater cause... a bigger picture... a balance... that makes it all worthwhile... Because sometimes... the truth isn't good enough... Sometimes people deserve more. Sometimes people deserve to have their faith rewarded.... ~ Dark Knight

Life comes a full circle.. as much as we try and take shortcuts, detours...  What we give is what we get... Needless to say, we came into the world holding someone's hand, learning from what we saw... and we'll leave it, holding someone's hand, seeing the world, and wondering why they haven't learnt !

Contradictions do not exist. Whenever you think you are facing a contradiction, check your premises. You will find that one of them is wrong. ~ Ayn Rand

I am a patriot.  I am proud of what our country has achieved so far, and think we have great things going for us.  But if the biggest factor going for us is people... the biggest factor going against is also the people of the nation. If we have the likes of Ratan Tata & Dr Anji Reddy, Kiran Mazumdar Shaw & Verghese Kurien, to name a few, who have showcased the ability of what an Indian is capable of... we also have a flip-side.  Whether it is corruption, illiteracy, female infanticide or crime, India figures among the few countries on top.  We never seem to think twice before strutting with pride on the mention of Tata or Kurien at any international forum. Then why does it take us so long to accept that we are the ones responsible for the worst as well. That WE need to take the initiative to move things towards the better...  That WE take it on ourselves to stop paying bribes, to educate everyone in our circle of influence, to be brave enough to identify crime and have t

Family to me is not about blood, or just love... Family is about time spent, moments shared, issues discussed....  Participating & contributing in each others lives... Where you are allowed to make fun... but are never ridiculed... Where you might not have the last word on everything, but every word said counts...

Power attracts different reactions from different people... Some people get attracted to people with power... some prefer avoiding such people.... and there are the minority whose reaction doesn't change with the power a person has...

Anyway, what is power ? pow·er   [ pou -er ]  noun 1.   ability   to   do   or   act;   capability   of   doing   or   accomplishing   something. 2.  political   or   national   strength:   the   balance   of   power   in   Europe. 3.  great   or   marked   ability   to   do   or   act;   strength;   might;   force . 4.  the   possession   of   control   or   command   over   others;   authority;   ascendancy:   power   over   men's   minds. 5.  political   ascendancy   or   control   in   the   government   of   a   country,   state,   etc.:   They   attained   power   by   overthrowing   the   legal   government. I believe it's all relative... Who might seem powerful to me,

We walk around life, like we have the entire world's burden on our shoulders.. as if we are facing the biggest problems & the toughest challenges... As a result, we talk too much, think a little lesser... and seldom smile... Even if our day isn't going well, it doesn't harm to make someone else's day more special :) Credit: www.pravsworld.com
