learning and growing

It does not really surprise me now when I think that some older folks just hate our generation. It is hard to accept that things have really degraded. Most people of my age like chaos and they happily create it. They find it easy and normal to drag a street child shamelessly. They don't care for the child getting hurt. They drag them because they say that they want to educate them on streets. Educate- huh? Where is your education when you use force? Where is your education when you show no manners? Where is your education and what is it that stops you from realizing or seeing that you hurt a child, while you drag him? I hate to be a part of a generation who thinks it to be cliché to show respect to elders. Who is asking you to be humble and polite always? But surely nothing can stop you from showing elders politely, how and where they are wrong.And one evening was enough for me to not regret a decision that I made some four years ago. I am happy that I did not choose you Scottish C...

One of my friends that I know, goes on nagging about how girls should not be married at an early age. According to her things have changed, and marrying at an early age does not work towards empowering women. A very vague concept for one who claims to be a feminist. I too believe personally that marriage of girls can be avoided at an early age, but I have reasons very different from my friend. To this friend I would say, that marrying at an early age does not always mean bondage. If someone wishes to and is pretty confident and adamant about getting married at 21 or 22, then why stop that woman? How can someone claim oneself to be a feminist and do exactly what Patriarchy does to the women population. Have I not discussed this before? By burdening someone with your opinions and what what you think is right make you what you don't want to be. A woman can be an excellent housewife and that does not always mean that she is less ambitious. Her decision to marry at an early age, does no...

So what's new in my life? One is, meeting the almost same morons with different faces. Morons who give me the opportunity to be criticized, who help me become more confident. Morons who are elder to me, yet never think twice before passing a comment or making a statement. Wait, I don't think they even know the difference between a comment and a statement. Morons they are with their silly jokes and irritating habits. Morons they shall always be and help me contribute more to my blog. Two is, the realization that all is temporary strikes me again and I end up placing myself neither in the past,nor in the present or the future. Three is, it amazes me to see that how people self interpret a given situation incorrectly, and then dumbly give reasons to justify that they are in a better place and unwelcomingly complicate matters. Some are stupid to the point of behaving like lovers I have betrayed, when they meant nothing more than friends. How boring and lonely it mus...

When a street child tells me that he has found happiness in the hardships, my mind retrospects. Back when I was in class ten( or twelve), I remember writing an essay entitled 'Cage' and there I wrote that, ' Let a child of nature, be and remain a child of nature. Let him know no bounds, let him be free and not caged...' Strangely I still remember the line, and strangely I feel happy today. Strangely the line reverberates in me. Strangely the world looks a better place to live in.
