Stop TALKING and act NOW!!!

As much as i believe in staying calm
As much as i believe in giving time
As much as i believe things will change
As much as i believe in giving a chance to individuals
As much as i believe everyone takes pride in their country
As much as i believe one wants to do things for change

I always believe your actions will speak louder than words
If you cant act then stop your nonsensical blabber
Time to see your Faff turned into some action
Until then your words are worthless and pointless
I give a damn about it

Time all our politicians acted on their wonderful speeches they give :(
You have the power, its time you used it productively
WE all have to contribute but they have to lead by example
The TIME is NOW

Systems: Good or Bad?

Over the years almost everything has transformed into a system. There is a sense of over reliance on them. I just don't mean the IT systems here. Everyone may argue that it brings in a sense of functioning and brings order to the surroundings. The truth is things are this way and i personally believe everything requires a system.

Some personal observation as the reliance on such systems are increasing i feel that individuals are losing one of their most important facets "Common Sense". They become dysfunctional and i wonder what would happen when there is a day when some of the systems fail us. Would there be the ability to maintain the order that is being maintained at the current level? I really doubt it.

Is there an alternative that you can think of? Is there more one can do?

HIDE n SEEK

I feel like I'm the one blindfolded now
This darkness introducing me to new things in the search
But still the time hasn't come to unfold

The game gets even more interesting
I really ain't sure what is it that will show me light
Play on, I'm enjoying every bit of it - being the seeker

??

Sometimes you tread the path like a soldier
Braving the shots thrown at you
At times you tread the path of a doctor
Your strength overpowering your emotions

The sight of the strongest bridge falling like a stack of cards
May lead you to find new ways
The climb may seem steep
Your vision must lead you to the top

Don't lose sight of the ground when you head to the top and take as many as you can for the betterment of our surroundings.

RACISM?

Quite often the grass seems to be greener in the US for the common man in India. The belief that there are more opportunities, the probability of earning more money or the notion of living a better life seems stronger among the mass population. This probably is true to a large extent.

The idea of anyone heading to the UK is quite often looked down upon and people generally tend to raise the question of why don't you go to the US? The most common fear that makes them take a step back to come here is probably experiencing racist slurs and tend to brand the nation on that basis. The history definitely has been bitter but "I" as an individual wish the past is put behind for a better future.

Personally i believe we have to look within before we tend to make such comments about others. Indians are as much guilty being racists as probably others you may find around the world.

- The strong caste sentiments isn't that being racist?
- In times of arranged marriages the skin color of individuals that families tend to look for isn't that being racist?
- Branding individuals to a particular TYPE in different nations isn't that being racist?

We are racists and we all are definitely guilty of it. Before we wish to comment on others, i think we should change. I refer to 'we' as all Indians here but as much as i wish for this change this is gonna take many decades for it to blow by.

Time we lived as "global" citizens rather than just "national" citizens.
