SOMETHING TO THINK OVER.


This is not my usual day to day story.Through this text I want to ascertain that if there has to be change,if we are too worried by the current state then the change can be caused by oneself alone.On account of that,I think an individual is way too important in the scheme of things than I used to think.

EXAMPLE IS BETTER THAN PRECEPT.

All these days I thought over and over,turned over a few books and accumulated a lot of information regarding this but for what?The answer is imminent.I turn on the TV and find almost everyone preaching.Each one of us is busy teaching things to others.Do it this way,do it that way,it should not be so and so...I guess people don't have any other business.

It is not that I am immune to these temptations.I too,do not miss to preach whenever I find an opportunity but the difference between me and them?Well,I found out the futility of it way before they could and hence gone are the days,I used to be that way.I won't ever preach or enforce myself on anyone.

There is almost a lifetime left for us to explore,discover and rule this world and I don't want to limit myself by any ideas what so ever.There is an utter need for some of us to lead the way out of this chaos we are engulfed in.I don't think chaos is a good word rather I should say confusion.Look around us,there is definitely a void,I don't know whether others appreciate it or not but I can definitely see the void in front of me.

The ancient ideas which somehow managed to live until the earlier generation are certain to die in the coming days and the resistance to new ideas too seems enormous.It means there is a certain confusion regarding the thought system which we have to follow and hence I feel,we need some leaders.People who can guide without uttering a word,people who don't bother whether we follow them,people with a vision to change.If we look at the leaders around us do we find anything worth respecting?Each one of us including the so called “learnt ones” are being run by the same fuel of greed,lust and hatred.Don't we get bored by the state today?I don't know what it will lead me to but just sitting over and following the herd or standing out and wondering about it what is better?I prefer the latter.

Finishing the studies,just out of college and then running pillar to post for a petty job and after getting it,just get enslaved by the bank of your choice.After all owning a home,a vehicle and insurance is “necessary”!We have since ages progressed on account of our superior brains itself,where is it now?How can we think something necessary just because our neighbour thinks so.

Diversity in thinking is needed at every level.It provides a platform for all kinds of human ideas to flourish and hence I feel,it is slavery and even catastrophic if 100s of million people think the same ideas,have the same worldview and in general have the same approach to life.If the situation continues like this then it is slavery at its best and will have consequences even more brutal than the physical one that we are aware of.Physical slavery leaves your mind free to think,but this kind of slavery being smarter in nature engulfs your brain itself resulting in the total slavery of the human.We can't work independent of our brains can we?

I am way down the ladder to produce my views to others on a significant scale but I am amazed how the so called intellectuals of the world sit over it and there has not been significant thinking in this direction.I don't know whether people high up the ladder feel the same way we do,whether the live on the same planet as we do or they take the same food as we do.

We as a society have created mess around us and if we have to come out of it,well as I propose the world needs dedicated leaders.People who can restore faith in ourselves.We as humans run this planet and if something has to change it can only be done by us.No one from the outer space is coming,why'd he bother?You live,you die you loot your own home why'd someone else care?

The human ego sometimes as vast as the oceans,will have to give way to universal acceptance of ideas,people and eventually everything.But the problem is how to convey this idea to someone who is already drunk,with power or lust?And I think it is precisely the ego combined with lust that has created the mess in which we are today.

All through the mind puzzling over,there have been innumerable times when I used to think don't bother.Just convince yourself somehow and get into your own cosy little life and through that shell just watch it!Like we do it on TV.I won't do it,never.I have to climb up the ladder and the change I've envisioned will have to take place,else what is the purpose of life itself.I find brothers bleeding,and it is disturbing.How can I sit so comfortably if people don't have food to eat?I don't think anyone can explain that to me.

    The only thing that pulls me down,is that I do not have any significant contribution to mention till date but I do not lose hope.I know in my mind I've been thinking and if provided an opportunity I will definitely make my ideas flourish.But it is not that I'm living for some credit or so.I know it is not that significant,the change is.

NAGALAND: FIRST IMPRESSIONS

Not too many people have Nagaland in their bucket list. Uncomfortable roads, poor transport system and a lot of corruption are a few factors which contribute to it. Added to it the stories of still active insurgency, Nagaland although an extremely beautiful hill state doesn’t manage to have a lot of tourism going on except for the Hornbill festival in December every year. But, my case is slightly different. Affinity towards the culture of the entire North east, plus a desire to visit not to tourist frequented places made Nagaland a definite must go. So, when I got time and saved some money, I immediately planned a trip to the beautiful hilly state with my girlfriend. The Nagaland express Since, th is was my second trip towards the hills of the North east, I was more confident and familiar with the sytem than the previous time. We booked a filght to Guwahati and from there we took a train to Dimapur aptly named : The ”Nagaland Express”. This

FIRST TRIP TO THE NORTH EAST-MIZORAM

Around 7 years ago during the final year of my school, I read a book about the various tribes of the north East India. Already fascinated by a place so serene, yet unexplored and heard stories of the people inhabiting those lands, the book generated in me a desire to visit the places as soon as possible. The author of that book visited the entire North East as a part of his assignment for All India Radio (AIR) during the 1970s and the way he described those tribes and the places, a strong desire arose inside of me to visit these places and see for myself how beautiful that land is, how well mannered those people are! It is aptly called the 'unexplored paradise' as I discovered. But the idea materialized only in March, when financially empowered by a scholarship from ISRO, and constantly motivated by my best friend (who could not resist travel, and hence accompanied me!), I planned to visit Mizoram. Why Mizoram? There is a particular thing about the mizos, and if asked com

TRIP TO HARIDWAR AND RISHIKESH

A trip to places like Haridwar and Rishikesh is always a source of peace,joy and spirituality and when we went to these places this month, it was no different.We had some free time and I along with my two other friends decided to visit Haridwar as well as Rishikesh for a short 4 day trip.As I had spent my childhood in a nearby town,naturally these places were well travelled by me . Day-1:Bus to Haridwar We got up early in the morning,at around 0445,hurriedly got dressed up,called each other and ran off to the ISBT at kashmiri gate to catch an early bus to Haridwar.I was extremely careful to catch the bus as early as possible because of the traffic at the border growing up a few hours later.We expected to catch the bus at around 0700,but as it always happens,we were delayed by around 30 minutes and managed to board the bus as 0730.It was a smooth journey,early in the morning a lot of fresh air poured in,later as it was not too hot,we enjoyed riding the bus in the bri
