The courtroom

Life is like a courtroom. To defend and to shield one’s personality, each one of us transforms into a lawyer. The lawyers become self-centred, establishing their priorities over everyone else’s, inflicting shouts and chaos which are an indication of a never ending conflict. On the other hand there are judges. Their work is to pinpoint the faults, the good qualities or just blabber something incomprehensible and untrue things, just to allow new gossips and self made rumours get chained in the cycle of destroy and rebirth. The roles of judges and lawyers can even get interchanged. Judges can transform into lawyers when they climb onto the platform of defending themselves and lawyers into judges when they get a chance to pick their seats in the audience! I feel that this is a never ending cycle. No matter in whichever region, state or country you are, you will always find yourself in this big courtroom of life.

Life is full of misery. Well, there is no doubt about it. But most of the miseries are created by us ‘the great human beings.’ We create new technologies but at the same time destroy the beauty of our nature. Should I call it as ‘peak of individualism?’ Or should I call it as a symbol of mere brilliance and intelligence? We make clothes made out of animal skin. Wow! What creativity! Or should this activity be termed as a murder? Now let us consider those individuals who have shouted their opinions against such heinous crimes and again a big conflict takes over. For some such jobs are profit-oriented whereas for others they are inhumane acts. At the end, the question arrives: ‘Who is the right one?’ If you as a reader is analysing the entire situation and about to frame a statement in your mind, let me remind you that you and I have started transforming into judges! Isn’t that interesting?

Human mind is so complex. Our experiences and teachings define the personalities that we are carrying today. Situations undergone can be similar but the reactions and responses differ. If that is so, is there any way through which peace can spread like flowing river in all the continents? Can the option of nurturing balance act as an aid to this friendly mission?

 

Vande Mataram!

A very Happy Independence Day to all the Indians out there! Today our nation has completed 67 years of independence successfully and my heart fills with joy and pride to chant the two words, those which always transfer drops of courage, respect and love in our blood, towards our developing nation. 'Jai Hind!' It's indeed a beautiful feeling to say these words, in a saluting position, our heads raised up to feast our eyes on our beautiful Indian Tricolour, our beloved and prestiged Indian Flag. I feel honoured and blessed to be part of such a big and diverse nation. I feel proud to place my feet on that ground, on that rough and smooth surface, where great heroes have sacrificed their lives happily for the freedom of our country, for the nation which has undergone tremendous progress, for the nation which is soon going to emerge as a superpower. This celebration, speeches, parade and waving of flags is nothing but a tribute to those heroes, whose silent cries paved a pathway for loud laughs, happiness, contempt and indeed for a bright future. Sun rises everyday but does it's warmth and glow encompasses us all is a subject of concern. But I believe that it surely would one day. We Indians just got to believe, swim in the river of faith, dedication and we will finally reach our destination, that destination where there would be no atrocities, no crime, no violence and only peace, love and good health. That fire which burns slightly in each one of us should be raised with more fuel, vigour and belief. Then and only then would it reach the hearts of all Indians. Let's take an oath of not shedding ourselves from our responsibilities because as you sow, so shall you reap. 

I am proud to be an Indian. I hope each one of us do!
