Values, principles and our lives

Everyone wants to be different and that one thing makes us all the same.There is no value now a days, only trends.People are attracted to trends not values. we need a scrupulous society, run by men with principles, not by some trend or impulse. Trends are just popular tastes at a particular time which will not last much. On the other hand, values are forever. It defines a person, his character and who he is. Trends are more like romanticism, it portrays a person's(or society's) present emotion, what and how they are feeling right now.
Some says good and bad are relative concepts and i belong to that some. Since we are social beings there will always be a collective good, which means all those doings that bring good to the human society and collective evilness that is not good for the survival of society. It is the same for all social beings, whether it is lion, or wolves or us, but ofcourse there will be a profound diffrence in our case b'coz of our big brain, using which we interpret things.
Everyone have their own versions of good and bad, but if we are not cautioned our sense of right and wrong would clash and thats why we as humans set certain rules, that will result in a common good, as values and principles. If we need to sustain a peaceful social life we should have to sacrifice some of our freedom for the common good . Now a days people are ending up more and more lonelier even though thay are living in a society. Our present day life is more of an oxymoron, living in the crowd yet alone with their lives.

The bloodsucking Yakshi

When I was a kid, April and May fell in the list of my favourite months. Not because it's going to rain and there would be mud all around, but those are the months my cousins would be here at our family house, in our hometown in Kerala. Those are the memories I would cherish forever. My grand-mother has 5 offsprings, 4 boys and a girl. My father is the second eldest of five. Then, he was the only one staying in Kerala and everyone else was in different parts of India, a Pan-India Family one could say. We were all present, it's like Parliament, shouting, laughing, scolding children, people everywhere, busy doing their chores. An outsider entering the home can still go unnoticed. Life was less complicated then. We were just ........just ourselves. Everyone you valued dearly is with you. It's like, the world has shrunken to a square block of bricks and mortar. Now it's all feel like a fairy-tale, one of the best things about joint-family. We are all tired of day's...

Youth and Politics

Our political system is crippling and burdened with over aged hypocrites. I honestly believe our politics need a revamp. Don’t you think present is ruled and governed by the ghosts of past. There is big difference in past and present social values. Don’t get me wrong, when i colloquially put it as older people coz you might think i am some kind of Nazi. When i say older, i meant our over-the-hill politicians, you can say they have experience and all, but right now what we need most is not experienced minds but bold minds who can accept the change happening around and those who are willing to break free from the old traditional format. The average age of our Parliament is over 60 years. How many leaders are there in our parliament who are not from a well-off and don’t have a criminal background. Most of our politicians and executives for that matter are sycophants. Being rhetoric and sycophancy are the trademarks of most of our statesmen. This sycophantic behaviour de...

Legacy of Balasaheb Thackeray

I hope everyone has noticed the excitement created by the death of Bala Saheb Thackeray. Its just fine if you want to pay tribute to Mr.Thackeray and call him a great visionary and all. India is a democratic country you have every right to do as you please as long as it doesn't obstruct someone else's right. But when Maharashtra govt. arrested two girls charging them, of hurting religious feelings(Section 295 (a)) and IT Act for posting anti-Thackeray comments in facebook, any man in his/her right mind would agree, they have over-stepped their boundary. What religion are they talking about, he is a political leader,whose motto was to carry off non-Maharashtriyans from Maharashtra. Actually what the girls did was, one among them posted some comment on facebook wall and the other girl liked it. Those remarks showed their anger against the "bandh"(strike) on the day of Thackeray's death. If that wasn't enough shiv sainiks vandalised one of the girl's uncle...
