Arm Chair Revolution

Just like millions who tonight would be remembering past 365 days this moment, would be summing the whole year into simple 3 words, hilarious, average or hoping next year to be best for them. For me I am still thinking in which category I should fit myself.

 Apart from how it went for me, I would like to say how it had impact on me. Being a social animal, (please take meaning of animal in lighter way, since it has been used in very strong anti notion) things going around have impacted me in one or other way. It is usually said, our nation is divided in 2 countries itself, a country with rich having everything at their disposal and still in greed to gather more and rest who struggle to gather, just for survival. Same time, this year I found 2 types of humanities, one who criticizes every single thing in nation right from time they are out of bathroom releasing their pressure to time their conscious minds sleeps leaving to blame nation in sub conscious level; and another group who actually contributes towards nation building in one or other form, may it be like taking on street to protest, to ask, to steal the rights they feel are fundamental and denied in whatever way. My due regards to later. This started last year when Bachelor Mr Anna Hazare decided to take on corruption. Atmosphere sensed patriotism, majority joined, since many felt, corruption is not good and not accepted. Mr Anna was termed as Gandhi 2.0, in world of technology what else we can accept? But good thing was, majority of people joined for cause. government somehow managed to buy time from, and eroded the much gathering across nation. At fag end of the year, we saw same sense again, this time not for corruption, but for dignity, modesty of women in nation. Unfortunate incident on girl and nation stood unite. In this 2 agitations I found 2 class of people. 1^st who went on street, braved the climate and lathis, from “supposed law makers” and others I term as “arm chair protester . I sensed tremendous rise in such arm chair protesters,  physical contribution near to zero, but in free idle time, sitting on comfortable chair with lappy and spreading what they see, but not what they sense.

Problem gets escalated, since our much educated class is illiterate in social issues, problems, they watch, conclude with  those print and electronic media to whom Retd Justice Katju if given fair chance would punish with iron hands. Resultant “”illiterate awakened citizens” is armed with half knowledge which is dangerous and is fatal. In democratic setup these are in masses and few people who are in class are beaten by these masses dragging them to their zenith which is actual a nadir.

These people don’t have will, capacity and wisdom to do anything other than “Like”, “Share”, “Retweet”  etc etc.  even I saw the form of prayer has been changed. Now people don’t need to go and bow in front of Almighty to offer prayer, on Facebook, 1 “Like” is equivalent to 1 prayer. This is, I can say pathetic and shameful. People just read and say, “I have prayed in form of “Like” on facebook..” and they feel much privileged for contributing towards society. Now it’s only Almighty who can come on earth and can preach that He is not using Facebook, so if you really wanna pray, pray from bottom of heart and not from bottom of fingers.

But this is how society has turned up. They make hue and cry of anything supported by Media and then when it comes to 31^st December Night their well functioned brain will search for nearest DJ night and free Alcohol. Though many have showed some sense of responsibility and have denied being part of any gathering as solidarity towards victim who has slept forever with a belief that we will be awaken forever!

On edge of the New Year I would like to say, be active, rather than passively criticizing the system. We all make a system. Just now while I am writing, the news popped, that a particular media channel has declared the name, identity and picture of delhi victim and her brother respectively. What we as citizen can do actively is, denounce such paper or channel permanently. Easy thing we can do. Let the media who have no regulation at all, understand “Janata” is biggest regulator. So behave with sense.  If we do support in such a way, we can make, not this year but decades ahead happy and safe.

Wishing you a New Year with utmost sense and sensitivity, and hope we all will be active participant in shaping our future.

Protest to please - SELF

Does this has brought any change, other than your profile picture for a day???

Yesterday one of friend forwarded me a message stating that wear a black on next i.e. today in protest of Gang rape which happened in Delhi recently. Also I saw many
people turning their profile/display picture into this black dot on white background.
After looking throughout these sentiments in form of Facebook and what’s app, I feel this was the simplest form of protest. Since many of, so called proud citizen of India didn’t had time and where more concerned about their routine or perhaps they can’t do anything else they use this method to post a picture with black dot in solidarity towards victim and hate against those who did heinous crime. I always wonder how much change such things would bring except self-satisfaction that I did something towards a cause which is burning out.
I am not criticizing the thing, I favour, atleast something is better than nothing, but at same if we really want change then such “self-convenient” simple methods won’t matter other than our self. When stats says that every half hour a girl is raped, today when people changed their profile picture, some who went out discussing things for Dabhang 2 someone somewhere would be molested, teased, harassed or even raped. Even in our day to day life we see how some people in working place do such nuisance with our female colleagues, what we do at that time? Tie a black band and roam in protest or we come forward to ask the person why he did so? Moving around in public transport we find things which are obscene but we only don’t react because concerned girl is not in your relation. Are we waiting for right time to act? I feel rather than wearing blue, black or any color or choosing any simple form of protest, if we show some courage to stop, a wrong happening in front of our eyes its more than enough. Newspaper says when girl and guy where thrown out of the bus they were nude, and girl was bleeding, as many 50 people were watching the plight of this 2 citizens and strange, not a single men, women standing or peeping out of sedans took a step to cover the already destroyed modesty of women and her friend. Only when police came they took table cover from nearby hotel to cover them and took them to hospital. These 50 people who guarded the couple represent many of us. Infact might be out of those 50 few would be one who posted such picture or would have joined Jantar Mantar or India gate, or Gate way for change in nation. I am thinking with such cowards how we can bring change?
Stop showing how much you love this nation and hate such crimes on Facebook and whats app in your free time. Rather than act, because if not today, we wont get tomorrow.

Wise Widsom

On 28 December, when Indian Industry sensed the lost of WISE WISDOM in form Mr. Ratan Tata, same day I also sensed the very same..loss of my own Wisdom in form of extra WISDOM TOOTH. Long planned, well executed task. hence forth i can say..i have one wisdom short than what Theoretically dentistry says..well the "inclined" wisdom was no more a worth and had to be removed..but since half of the face was under influence of Anesthesia and after surgery which lasted for 1.30 hrs i felt like most powerful man in India or atleast in Baramati...i felt like Mr Pawar..with restricted movements to muscle in half face I felt like the man himself and i started dreaming...but then within few hours, effect of anesthesia was reduced and character built in me, went off..leaving me just an Engineer.
Another thing which i noticed was..if you read too much of self help book, you can inspire others but when sit down on chair in clinic where white glows depict your blood group story is very different. All good adjectives used for you at that time by Dr; you know what they actually meant for.
Apart from pain, frustration and numerous questions to the mystical power in the world, I landed in conclusion, don't expect good from life even you have not committed any sins, life will punish you, its the same way that dont accept from tiger not to eat you since you are vegetarian. For no fault of mines, my wisdom tooth went inclined instead of growing straight in vertical way. Had heard somewhere that if you remain very clean and outstanding in your life, its natural that people will trouble you more, just like straight trees are chosen first to chop, but I proved this time wrong  to keep the straight good tooth, the inclined tooth was to be removed. well exceptions do take place.
Apart, I have strong chances to reduced weight, since no food no gain..just like no risk no gain..Also i learned importance of those all yog guru who shout and tell to do some pranayam, it helps in such surgery to keep calm and control heart beats..so from tomorrow i am sure to sit in front of Ramdev Baba, ONLY for YOGA and nothing else...
Well should stop here, no more Wisdom since i have lost it..
