Happy Republic Day - 2012

The time I am writing this is the time when India is gearing up for celebration its 63rd Republic Day and completion of the Country to be the Sovereign Socialist Secular Democratic Republic of India.  I wish all my fellow Citizens a Happy Republic Day and wish you all would gear towards ensuring that the Country remains Sovereign, Socialist, Secular and Democratic till eternity.

The reason I say that you all would be geared towards ensuring that the four basic principles of the existence of our country remain intact because of the following reasons -

1. The Country is Sovereign from any external power, but we are still Slaves of Corruption.  Indeed we are the eternal slaves of Corruption.  Starting from a normal work at the Municipal Office to the Highest Levels of Governance, our country is a slave of Corruption.  We all complain about it, crib about it, but when the time comes for us to align to the practice of NOT paying Bribe, we simply look in other directions and pay the "under the table charges".  Shri Anna Hazare has started a movement, so we need to ensure that the Lamp of the Movement is always burning and the pressure on government is always there from the Citizens Charter to eradicate Corruption from the roots of our country.  Come Join me today to eradicate take a Vow to Never Bow in front of the Corruption.
2. The Country is very much Socialist, but there is a lot of pressure from the Private Organizations and there are certain quarters of the Industrial India that want India to be moving towards Capitalist form.  Let's ensure that the Socialist face of India is always maintained as it helps ensure that there is all round development of the country with equal employment opportunity.  We need to ensure that the Country stands tall to its basic values to ensure that the Weak and Poor sections of the country are taken care of.  But again at this juncture we also need to ensure that the Caste Based Reservation system is Eradicated as this is nothing but more of a Political Agenda. The time when the Reservations were introduced, it was for initial period of 20 years to help those sections progress, but over the period of last 40 years, it has been used as a Vote Bank tool.
3. The Country is certainly Secular "on papers", but deep in the mindset the Religious Fractions exist and they are pretty deep rooted in the Overall social existence of the Country.  The Politicians and the religious preachers all act in accordance to the "Divide and Rule" policy that the Britishers had introduced. Another point where we are still slaves and we need to ensure that the Country stands true to the Name Secular. On the Base ground we do not have issues with co-existence of the Religions and we celebrate all the festivals irrespective of the religious occasions.  We need to ensure that we maintain that mutual admiration, peace and harmony at all levels, irrespective of the situation and scenario.
4. We are Democratic, yes indeed, but only to the point our politicians and bureaucrats get a free hand to do as they wish and fill their coffers to the brim.  The Democracy comes to a stand still or rather turns to Anarchy as soon as one raises a voice against the fault line in the system and challenges the system.  We as the Country need to ensure that along with the Movement to eradicate Corruption, we also address the fault lines in the system that would align the work culture of government organizations and ensure that discipline is inculcated in the overall  working environment at all levels.

The Country today needs its Citizens to join the wave for a faster Development Process and stand tall on the World Stage.  On one had the world sees us as a role model of the growth we have showcased, but on the other Hand the World also sees us as one of the Most Corrupt Nation.  We need to work towards eradicating the second tag and become a Role Model for Economic Growth, Governance Structure and Strong Fundamental Values.

Come Join me today to take the Vow to work towards Betterment of our Country's Image on the World Scenario.....


Happy Republic Day Once again.....

Humans - Where are they disappearing?

When we look around ourselves, we find that we are surrounded with Humanoids.  Only a few of them are humans whom you can trust and over the years it is increasingly becoming tough to distinguish between the Humans and Humanoids.  But, Yes the Humans do exist in this crowd of Humanoids.

You might be wondering why am I using the word Humanoids because they are rogue, they are vague and they are someone who you might think to know, but in actuality you don't know them.  They are someone who would use you, just for their entertainment and would just think of you as a means or a medium or a commodity to make their ends meet.  Are you thinking I would rather use the word Pest, then NO, I don't want to use words that mean more than what I want to convey. The reason of Humanoids as my choice here is for the reason that such people around you show their Love, Compassion and their Interest in you and what you do and who you are, they try to please you and then at the end when their ends are met, they would just throw you out of their life as they throw the waste from their body.

There actually are many varieties of Humanoids, some use you for Emotional support, some for Financial, some for Physical and  well then the Hybrid Humanoids. Here the most complex is the ones that use you for Emotional Support but are of Hybrid kinds. When you get comforted in their company and start trusting them, somewhere from their Background Comes the sound of a big thud and you realize - Holy Cow, what am I doing, whom was I trusting and what all I blurted out.  At that moment you feel totally miserable because by that time you would definitely have had entered into a sort of relationship with such at the least One person with whom you would have entered a platonic relationship and would have had physical relations.  Well it might happen and that's life of us the Human Beings. In such cases, the way out is really difficult as Such a Humanoid may actually become a PEST. (hope you would not understand why I didn't want to use the word pest earlier :) )

Sometimes it happens that a Humanoid around you catches you on your weak point, gets up and close with you emotionally and physically, looks to get your support and then there when you start sharing your feelings with such a Humanoid, you get to hear from certain quarters that the Humanoid has really been complaining around of your "Double Standards".  Interesting?? huh!!! Well yeah telling you and telling the people around that though the Humanoid Loves you, you love someone else and when Humanoid wants to share time with you, you share stories of your Love with Humanoid.  Well, yeah that happens.  This is where I, in the second part of the previous paragraph said - "At that point you feel totally miserable".... Yes this is the point I was referring to there. 

So, what should one do in case of getting stuck with a Humanoid?  I would suggest Play along, with Caution of Not to Blurt out your secrets.  This does not mean that you should let the other person use you whether Emotionally or Physically.  I understand it is very difficult to identify between Human and Humanoid, so I wouldn't call it your fault to fall in the trap.  What you should do in case you fall pray to such a Humanoid, is not to fight to come out of the web of the Humanoid, because it is like a spider web or say quick sand, more you try to come out of it more you get entangled in it>  It is advisable here to make cautious moves to slowly and steadily distance yourself from the Humanoid.  Please be Extra Cautious in case of the Emotional Humanoids as they may claim distress, depression and mental trauma because of your act and blame you for their misery.

Few things to take care of when playing along with the Humanoids - 

1. Don't Trust them on what they say as they say something and mean something
2. Don't counter them right out, instead your gestures and expressions should be supportive and understanding
3. Try to make them believe that you are with them and you would go all out to do anything for them. You need not do anything not even pick up a pebble. You can always highlight one or other genuine reason for your incapacitation.
4. Gradually distance yourself from them with decreased communication and decreased communication channels with them
5. Never in life discuss your personal matters with them post you identify them as Humanoid, else they may go extra-mile to exploit you and your situation
