Change Thyself for the change you want to see in the world...

Who wants to bring the change????
Everyone!!!

Who wants to change???
No one!!

A very peculiar situation which is seen in the modern society from time to time. People in the country or the world at large always seem to crib for one or the other thing. They want the system to change. They want that everything should be in place, be disciplined and be as per the rules. They want no crowd anywhere. They want the police to come on time. They want the traffic to be reduced. People want the antisocial elements to be eradicated. They want drugs to be eliminated. They want everything in a picture perfect way. They want corruption to end. They want black money to be brought back…

But anyone of the general public, if asked, what they are doing for it, will reply, “Why should I do something for an issue? There are specialized departments, NGO’s, ministers etc for the same? What effect will I be producing even if I start a change?” the answer, “IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE BIGGER CHANGES IN SOCIETY, WE NEED TO ACCOMMODATE SMALL CHANGES IN OUR OWN LIFESTYLE.”

Take the example of “Swachh Bharat” Campaign. When this campaign was launched, people seemed to be so enthusiastic about it. A million of pics were uploaded over social media with broom in hand and people sweeping the localities. But for once, think, about the use of sweeping the street if someone from the family or friend circle throw garbage at the street every morning or late at night.

People want change no doubt. But how many of us have tried something for that change. Are we not the ones, who try to bribe the traffic police who challans us for over speeding or not wearing a helmet, or are we not the ones, who try to lure the government employee by additional benefits to move up our pending file. Or do we not try to bribe people in our general lives to do our work. The point is, these small evils find itself hidden in the bigger darkness which prevail on the mind of the modern man. Many of propagate and support freedom of speech, but when someone in the country speaks something which might be opposed to our view on the same issue, a debate is born on who is right and who is wrong.
One thing must be understood very clearly, that in order to change, we must interact, and that interaction must be at personal level, at the lowest level, the level of a single individual. Before passing any remark on any human we should be sensible enough to know that it is not the socially acceptable to comment on someone based on any pre conceived notion. To debate something is sensible, but to criticize someone without knowing his point is absurd.

To change, it is essential to discuss and interact….

But before interacting everyone should be sensible enough to accommodate other’s viewpoint in a healthy way….

If someone wants to convey his viewpoint in any form, the society should think 1000% times before being harsh to him/her. If one wants change, one must be liberal and modern, not only in outfit but also in views and mentality…

On a path to glory

I have been lost before. in a pool of confusions, that delve inside my head. I have been lost before, in a tide of self-doubt, that crept inside my heart.. I have been lost before, in the guilt of underperforming I have been lost before, at nights with unstoppable mourning Through the years I learned, it does not matter If I am lost, I will surely be found And if no one finds me, I myself will one day walk past this maze To do something worthwhile and to amaze All those who laughed at the time when I was lost All those who created a sense of self-doubt, who made me face this ghost I have learned that the fears are just inside All we have is a beautiful world with opportunities, that is real and is outside So, I rise again from this pool of confusion, Yes I rise again from this guilt and emotion, I know am hard at heart when it comes to the topic of self-achievement But what is an achievement, without a little attitude All I want you is to kno...

How corporate professionalism helped me in learning the art of self-appreciation?

It’s been a long while that I wrote something for myself. Though being a full-time content writer, busy in playing with words all day long, who people think of as a word-wizard- never short of something to write, I have, of late, fell short of words to define what I feel about my passion. I started off as a content writer & still, I am that- it’s not that my passion has faded, it is still strong and growing every day, still I sometimes feel I am not doing much for myself. Writing every day for brands and companies- fuelling their aspirations to grow more and more through advertisements, e-mailers, marketing collaterals, etc., I have somehow felt guilty of not helping myself much with my growth journey. But is it my fault… or is it just situational? I am not the type who shifts the blame to professional or personal condition, so I take it upon myself for my mistake. I have not been much serious about my journey, passion and efforts. But through my realization, I came up wit...

Loneliness is a rewarding evil

The path, the journey and the destination The wind was cold enough to make my soul shrink somewhere deep in my personality. It had been days since I saw the signs of a human habitation close to me. I do not know if I did it right or wrong to go forth with this journey, but was amazed to possess a strange feeling of calmness inside, the kinds of which was never felt by me, when I was living my dream life. It was just another day in my fast pace life, when I realized my real purpose in life, was not to excel financially or in terms of success, but to find a path that enrich my soul. The matter has been talked in numerous ways and millions of times everywhere across the web. But I will make sure to add a footnote to this never ending debate. A dream gives us a purpose to live. And my dream was to stand strong with pride. I wanted my father to be proud of me when I achieve the stature of a highly paid professional in the management industry. He had set high standard...
