Do not be a northerner or a southerner, Be an INDIAN

                                     When I think of racism, the recent incident that I could possibly recollect is what had happened on one night of my college life. It was a Saturday night when I left our hostel during a weekend for the movie with my friends. It was during that course of time I encountered the most heart breaking moment, which I myself feel down when I look over it . We set our journey to KG Theatre and the bus driver pushed the accelerator ambitiously. At the very next stop, the most sympathetic guy boarded on ,  who was opposite in color, same in sex , differed in the geographical location, a person of lower esteem, not so popular profession, not so rude when compared to the conductor, if one of those were the reasons for the conductor’s unappreciable racist behavior. The North Indian guy asked for the ticket with a Ten rupee note, for the nine rupees ticket and the conductor scolded in harsh words, as he knew that our innocent guy would not be able to understand what comes out of his mouth , for not providing the exact change with him. The conductor could have requested or insisted him politely for that, but he was rude enough to draw attention of everyone in the bus as we all knew what those words meant and what he was up to. On having looked at the incident, I could only guess that he was not contented of his rudeness. The guy was asked to pay for the small bag he was carrying . Before the guy could speak something, or even resist, the conductor kept his hands over our guy’s shoulder and began pushing forcefully enough to humiliate him in front of public. The guy, however at last tried to take money from his pocket telling something, which conductor without even understanding  a word of it , asked the guy to get out of the bus. Then, we got out of the bus hurriedly as it was getting late for the movie leaving behind the thought of what was the result of the argument between an innocent Indian and the racist conductor.

                                

                                      I could not get better sleep that night. That incident left me with the following thoughts. Why are people so rude? Why was the conductor so rude? Was he rude just because the innocent guy  is  a North Indian or Was it because he had had arguments with his wife the previous night? Didn’t he like the silence of that guy? Was he resembling someone he had always hated? All these provided me , however with the clear thought and the solution. Whatever might the reasons be for his harsh behavior. Here, don’t think that I am being stereotypical either in supporting a North Indian guy or hating a South Indian guy , after all we all are Indians by birth. One’s self feelings should not be a cause for disturbing or distracting from performing his duty . One must be humble with everyone especially with the ones who are inferior to them.(Sorry, I got to mention atleast here). Keep your cool under all circumstances. Looking down on others is the root cause for aggression, which inturn is the root cause for unknowingly making arch enemies and resulting  in terrorism. So, the root is the superiority complex. Kindly do come out of it. Treat everyone as your own brothers and sisters. The phrase, All Indians are my brothers and sisters should not just be a saying but you all should be the living examples of those proud lines .

                                     

                                                I might not be the guy to advice others. But as an Indian , observing these kind of people, I cannot certainly resist myself from suggesting my dear Indians a good path 

PS- My kind apologies for the poor vocabulary , i hope my dear Indians would not mind that :)

The Inspiring Wing from India

                           

The wings , this  phrase has  quite different meanings which changes with individual’s perspective. For a bird, those are the ones which characterize them as birds ; for non- vegetarians , an image of chicken wings available in their favorite dine-in would appear  instantly. But for me, in fact for most of the Indians in general, the wings with which a small boy of dreams , from Rameswaram  flew so high , that everyone would envy upon , by igniting his dreams,  only  would come into thoughts. As a matter of fact, the null set could perfectly be defined by the number of haters, this legend has secured in his lifetime.

Everyone dreams! Of course, dreams differ from one anothers’. But those  dreams are ruined half way through, or even the ones are there which are given full stop, at the very beginning. What is the reason? The discouragement and the discouraging people around us! Here forgive me for blaming parents, teachers and friends including. Our surroundings has a special or extra ordinary impact over our dreams. When you dream of something when your teacher is taking his/her class, he /she would certainly scold you and call you a day-dreamer. Your parents, when you dream of becoming something towards which  their pride is seeming to cease, they would probably try to point you in the direction, which is zig-zag to your dreams. Your friends , on the other hand, not all but few with extravagant enviousness would be a discouraging factor.

Being these, the cases or the causes behind the deprival of your dreams, the man, who is completely a stranger to you and everyone, strives hard to empower youth. And I am sorry he is no more , so you may try to rectify  my verbs for being in present form , but I firmly believe he is still around me and us. He believes in youth. The youth of the nation, are according to him, the pillars of India. What must youth do?

Youth  -  Not just a word to derive a synonym for, but a collection of  activeness, brilliance , burning fire of determination, inner potential, great dreams, India’s pride to be defined about! 

All youths are capable, but they must be capable of exhibiting their in-born talents. His life is an example to everyone who is trying  , trying and trying hard to achieve big in their lives. He is an eminent scientist by profession, a hard worker, a writer, an influential speaker, People’s President and above all a humble human being!He , not only just empowered youth of India, but he himself lived the way an Indian should be living! When great minds of our country are progressively being trained to work for  other countries, this simple human being expected not money, but only the empowered youths and a developed India as a result!

“Dreams are not what you see when you sleep, are which do not let you sleep” 

 And now that he is leaving us or has left us, all that I could recollect is seeing him giving us a speech at our college premises , which made my lips move maximum distance from each other. Those are the moments, I would love to cherish for my life time. One of my true inspirations! Love you Kalam sir. 

Dedicated to Dr.A.P.J.Abdul Kalam!
