Mr.Prime Minister,
Everyone in the country respects you, especially the youth have always adored you. It was a really a moment of happiness for us when a great academician and economist was made India's PM. You enjoy the immense popularity tag in country today.
But we,the youth really had great expectations from you. When the Reservations of OBC's in higher educational institutes were announced we knew you would say something. Then there was hunger stike at AIIMS.To follow was the lathi charge and water canons on protesting students. We again looked at you to hear our voice. We did not expect anything from any of the other politicians. We know corruption runs like blood in their veins. We believed in you.
But sadly you disappoint us sir. How can you witness this injustice being done to the students. Nothin needs to be told or explained to someone of your capabilities and achievements. But don't you think the limits have been crossed now. We spend our years of life studying and sacrificing many cheering moments of life just to get into a institute like AIIMS or IIT. Our parents sacrifice their lives for us. But in the end we can't get through because the seats have been reserved for SC's and OBC's. Whats the use of studying when an OBC gets through to a college with less marks than us?
Please sir doesn't it hurt to be a puppet? Doesn't it hurt to see this injustice happening when you are the leader of the country? We know it does!
Please break the chains and come up. There's no use of being a leader when you can't do what you want to do!
Listen to your heart!
!Indian Youth!
Smarter People - Easiest way to improve!
I know most of you will agree with this statement: “The easiest way to improve myself is by surrounding myself with smarter people.” So do I. They are the living walking reservoirs of the knowledge and experience. A book may tell you all but only the experience would tell you how to go about it and what mistakes one tends to make.
The smart guy can observe you and point out everything in you. He can become your source of knowledge and a role model.
But what if there aren’t any smart people around. No don’t try telling me that it means that you are the smartest guy around, so you must enjoy the fact. Nor do I want to hear you telling that you let the lesser people improve. I know where I stand in the world and that is – nowhere. Another argument I have thought of this that every person you meet is superior to you in some way and you ought to learn from him. But I can’t wait to find out in what sense he is superior to me and I want a smarter person. Smarter than me in a broad sense. Superior to me, but not in one way but many ways.
So what’s the solution to this? I create smarter people? No that sounds absurd. If could create smart people that me than that would still mean that I am smarter than them. The simple and acceptable fact is that there must be smarter people around me. I mean there have to be. But right now I haven’t been able to find any.
Now only way left is the conventional way: learning from books, people’s advice, my own experiences and others. But these all are not easy and they do take in a lot of time!
In the meantime I should try to find out smarter people….stay with them and hence , improve myself easily!

The Realization!!
~So how does it feel when you know that there isn’t a worth while thing you are doing in your life? You are at a place you never wanted to be, living up a life style you never thought you would be….! When you realize that once you had clear vision of all your dreams and how sure you were to make them true. When you see that you are going no where near them, your whole vision is getting blurred? Not that you have lost any faith in yourself and your abilities but that you are getting rusty. Realizing that you are wasting your life and you are getting rotten up with every minute that is passing by. You are losing the control over your life, your confidence is not shaken but there is something even worse than that. You are moving away from the things for which you always had that confidence. Glass was always half full for you, it still is, but people around you are making you feel that the other half is empty too. You are running away from it, you always have….But the walls are closing down on you. How long would you run, not forever? Then you realize the biggest and sadly the worst of all realizations, that it is all indeed true….You aren’t seeing a bad dream ,you won’t wake up to find that everything is normal although you have always thought you would wake up to find this.
It is bad, but it is getting worse. It is eating you up from inside but you are not feeling the pain. You wouldn’t feel it because there won’t be anything at all to feel at one point…..
Time has come to face the truth, to wake up and tell yourself that it isn’t a bad dream. No matter how ugly it gets, how hard it gets, no matter how hard they test you, you would come up as the winner. You have the ability, don’t let yourself drown. The current may be against you, swim hard and the tide would come to take you to the shore. What is the use of the realization when you don’t realize that it is the time to act now, other wise there wouldn’t be anything left to realize at all…………!!!!!!!!

Whose life is it Anyway..?
We all have been given a life and it is up to us how we choose to live it. A few of us would choose to live it to the fullest on their own terms, some would accept it as it comes and some would choose it the way the others choose it for them. The latter seems to be the strangest class of people to me and yet strangely these people are in a very great number.
Let us discuss about this class of people today. Ask them why they are studying in engineering college. Answer wouldn’t be that because they want to be great engineers or anything else but because their parents wanted them to or their brother/sister is also an engineer. Wow that’s one swell of an answer. They are studying irrelevant subjects just to make their parents happy. This according to them is the only way to pay back what their parents have done for them. I absolutely agree with the point the sacrifices are made by parents for their children so that they become a successful person in their life. But everyone’s heart has some dreams, some secret ambition they have held up in their hearts and which would always remain held up in their hearts only. The desires, the ambitions, the passions and the dreams are suppressed just because those are not in accordance with the will of the parents and the society. This hypocrisy and pretendance has killed innumerous dreams, the wonderful artists, the writers, scientists, players that the world would have witnessed.
I once read somewhere that there are billions of human beings on this earth at the moment, but no two of them are same. A very few of us realize this fact that if the God himself wanted each and every single one us to be different then why don’t we become ourselves? If our heart says something why don’t we listen to it? The life has been given to us by the Almighty which is unique and wonderful. We have been given a unique brain and thinking and yet we choose to ignore it and listen to others. Please do not do something just because you have been told to. Do listen to your heart and your mind…….God wanted you to choose the way to live your life in your own way, so do it.
And yes! By all the ways it’s your life..!

WaKing uP LatE!
Morning is a beautiful gift of God to all the creatures of this world. Beginning of a brand new day, rising of sun, blooming flowers and the chirping birds, it is all so charming. But sadly for many of you I am one of the late risers. Not that I do not appreciate this wonderful gift of God but the sleep dominates my mind more than any other thing. One would always hear the benefits of rising early and consequently the bad effects of rising late. But I as a member of the late risers community I would like our voice to be heard by all too. Rising late has its own benefits that most people do not realize or simply choose to ignore it. Starting from the point I just made that morning is such a lovely gift of the Almighty. It’s in human nature that it stops appreciating things that become routine for him. Now morning comes each day and every day following it. So we start taking it for granted and stop realizing its importance and beauty. But a late riser appreciates its value more than anyone ever can. Its same as the importance of food is known by one who has been hungry for long time, importance of water is known best by a traveler in the desert and the sheer beauty of a wonderful morning is truly appreciated only by a late riser. He is the one who gets to witness a rising sun once in a blue moon and feels the heavenly experience. A regular early riser would never be able to feel this!
The other point is that the most beautiful and the peaceful sleep comes to you in morning only. It is the sleep one gets by opening eyes early and again forcing himself to sleep. The mind goes in to total relaxed and standby state. It goes free of all the tensions and anxieties and becomes ready to face a new ahead. As a result you wake up with a refreshed and much clearer mind even though it’s a bit late. But you would be able to do same amount of work as the early riser and that too with much greater efficiency.
The late riser doesn’t have to rush for anything, not for getting dressed up or breakfast or getting to work as he is already late so a few more minutes are not going to make much of a difference. So he does everything calmly and without any haste.
There are many other such benefits. These were just a few to name. By now I guess I had made my and my communities point. So all the early risers please do not feel proud of this fact anymore because we have woken up now, though late, but that’s what we are – Late Risers………….!
