Who am I....

"Astitva kya hain mera, kis baat ka hain mujhe Maan,
Lakhon ki bheed me yaha, kho gayi meri Pehchan,
Tammana hain yeh meri, kuch aisa kar jao,
Ki marne se pehle log jaane mera kaam"
(What worth is my existence; what is it that I am proud of. Of the millions of people out there, I have lost the identity of my own. There is only one wish now that I want to fulfill, that before I die people know my work.)
I am now part of the race for survival. This is the time to work and earn hard and smart, apply all what you have learnt uptill date to earn big bugs for living and keep the learning process going so that you still are smarter than the dumbs. Right now if you'll ask me who I am and what am I proud of I would say "I am an Indian" and "Proud of being one"- you may term me a jingoist for saying so but thats the way I am and may be thats my only saving grace at the moment. I hate being helpless at times, when the corrupt system creeps on what you think are your rights, though I know that I am not the only one who is incapacitated and hapless, but I want to change the things for myself. I have seen people dreaming big but few sacrifice for realiazation of the dream; I have failed twice in a row now and I believe that failure is for those who make half-hearted attempts for success, so it makes two half-hearted attempts of mine, however that has not stopped me from dreaming. Being a piscean, I ponder a lot in dreams; a daydreamer is what they call me. Soon I want to materialize the dreams of mine. I don't fear the obstacles in my way but I am still vary of the unknowns and how they may hamper my dreams. I am in a search of recognition, the search of my own identity and the day I would get that, the question WHO AM I be answered by the World.

Shrinking gadgets...To...Shrinking minds

Years ago we used to have big B&W television sets,heavy noise making vehicles, bulky telephones with entangled wires but with time we progressed to LCD screens, Nano cars and wireless cellular phones. It's not just the gadgets that shrinked but also the "altruism"(unselfish concern for others: for those who need to search the meaning in a dictionary or who are now not able to recollect it at the moment).
We are now habituated of living in the narrowness of our own mind and beyond this we find the beauty of the nature, the world which surrounds us bleak. How often we see a debilitated body around us longing for food and we keep enjoying the flavour of the icecreams in our hand, oh!! and then we never forget to mention it.. Destiny. We do maintain our houses free from even the minutest particles of dust or waste but how easy is it for us to throw and spit outside our windows and doors because that is where our hygiene ends. We think of being a Bradd Pitt, a Sachin Tendulkar, a Shahrukh Khan,a Aishwariya Rai, a Mukesh Ambani.... but how many of us or do any of us think of being the Gandhi, Florence Nightingale, Mother Teresa, good to read stuffs please don't ask me to follow.
Change is constant and yes we have changed but this change is not an amelioration but a pejoration of out ethical and moral values. It is not that every mind is a victim of this new age phenomenon but we have surrendered to situation around us.
A new revolution seems to be the only remedy for breaking free from this mind web but that.....
