Social renegades in day to day life


After a long time i am getting back to the world of blogging this will need a bit of warm-up please bear with me for that.
The recent transient events suggest the same, the human behavior which seems to be simpler and transparent is apparently vice versa, the human beings change so radically that you seemingly observe the situation in entire disbelief that what went wrong? The person who was acting normally suddenly, has lost all the courtesy and became so ignorant that doesn't even resort to accept your presence and, walks past through you like a non-existing entity. This is a very painful act and lot of remaining ignorant irrespective of the relationship in the past. This is a sheer depiction of egotism which can land the individual nowhere, though often perplexed i understand now that human beings are like this only, they try to twist and turn their relationship as per their requirements & self interest.
They are basically selfish and these traits get polished with their age, I don't have any personal objection to professionalism, but this is out of the bounds for that too as the professional people also maintain some cordiality merely under the name of formality which maintains their level of productivity.
We as Human Beings are social animals, & nowadays we have started resorting to anti social behavior and the long term consequences are insurmountable and often disastrous, no one possesses the might of facing the tag of a loner & sadist but though it might sound harsh these people are abnormal, their ego and their nerves take hold of them when it is not needed and they become a mere replicate of the venom spewing snake.
I personally have a dejected feeling as the world is increasingly getting affected by the same disease and there is no rudimentary cure available for the same. I would only say that god bless such people otherwise peril of humanity is imminent.

Defence dreams


Many people out of us rendering their careers in defense services which mainly comprise of the INDIAN ARMY, INDIAN NAVY, and INDIAN AIR FORCE. These are the three core wings of our defense services and many people aspire from their childhood to join one of them. But somehow as we grow up we get to know the intricacies of joining these forces and moreover its rigorous and tenuous procedure. As far as my knowledge goes we have to be a higher secondary pass out or a graduate to participate in the defense examinations mainly NDA (National Defense Academy) and CDS (Combined Defense Services). The former after twelfth grade and the latter after graduation. Some people think that like other exams if the written part gets cleared you get a secured berth in the defense services, but it is a mere illusion and i term it just as the tip of the iceberg. The real process starts after clearing of the written exams.

The results declaration of the written exams are followed by an instruction and reporting letter from one of the many SSB (Services Selection Board). The SSB is a detailed five day testing procedure which involves more of personal and physical testing sessions comprised about five days and followed by a conference on fifth day. The selected successful candidates stay back for medical examinations which comprise of total body check which means without your clothes.

After the medical checks the selected candidate is sent back home and awaits his or hers joining instructions. There are three main academies for the indian army and two each for the indian air force and the indian navy. First the army - IMA (Indian military academy), OTA (Officers training academy), NDA (National defense academy), air force- AFA (Air force academy), NDA (National defense academy), navy- INA (Indian naval academy), NDA (National defense academy).

The NDA is a common academy for all as it hosts the higher secondary or twelfth grade passouts meant for learning basic disciplines and mannerisms of defense forces accompanied with basic training about the opted force ie. the army, navy or air force. The training is very tough and takes a lot of courage physically and mentally to cope up with that.

As is said that it was just the tip of the iceberg teh SSB involves several procedures to filter out the number of applicants at various levels and the procedure is time tested and reliable and only a few lucky ones get cleanly through their SSB and then after there is a hanging sword of medical exam where whatever you have cannot be faked or pretended and is exposed in front of the trained staff, if everything is according to the standard parameter he or she is selected otherwise awarded a temporary rejection or rejection, the temporary rejection is meant for those who can resurrect their disorder and report back within prescribed time.

Many of us find it a gruelsome procedure and start searching for other options just after appearing and getting rejected for the first time, many of us while we grow divert to some fast growth and high incentive based ambitions. As there are some famous lines which say "DREAMING IS FAR SIMPLER THAN CONVERTING THAT INTO REALITY".

It feels very easy to make it your ambition but in abject reality it is very difficult to render. I am not demoralizing anyone but think before you dream of defense services as it will check your mettle and test you outside your limits. My best wishes to all defense aspirants.

Hopeless politicians and their treachorous politics.

We are proud to say that we are Indians and we live in India which is the youngest and the brightest country, it is a developing nation that is taking long strides economically to become a developed nation. But i am really displeased to say that the fate of this youthful bright country is at the hands of the most unscrupulous politicians ever seen in the history of the mankind. In the course of time these politicians have grown so corrupt and degenerative that they have sold their souls just for some petty pieces of paper which we call money.

From the post independence era when jawaharlal nehru was the PM the decision making was at the disposal of these bureaucrats who threw our country into dark ages just because of their foolishness and pro socialist ideologies. Their disinclination towards the western rising economies such as the US, UK and European countries left us with low trade anomalies and considerable decline in business. Thus we remained under developed for more than two decades and by the rapid growth of the IT sector and overall change in stance of the new generation of bureaucrats we have manged to show considerable improvement.

This improvement seems to be illustrious but this has also made these politicians more hungry for money, they have even corrupted every government machinery as well as the education institutions where admissions on the basis of caste and relationship with the bureaucrat or the minister is done. The greatest agony is that our educated middle class votes these corrupt politicians into powers due to lack of options and the very few honest politicians who are honest are isolated and so their ideologies also. No one wants to develop India its just only under the pretext to woo the ordinary people who basically comprise of illiterate villagers, minorities and lower caste people.

Corruption has reached deepest roots of our country and cannot be abolished now and whatever progress we make is eaten by our ever rising population and there are policies to curb this population explosion. One seem to be helpless and there seems to be no silver lining present in this dark cloud which is looming all over us and what our politicians are doing is eating up the tax payers hard earned money and saving them in Swiss banks for getting good rates of interest and lifetime secrecy. The younger breed is even more polished and sophisticated in digging up holes in government treasury. Our law and order is also not very apt to tackle this nemesis. These ministers grow older and die one day and the cases go on continuing in the supreme court of India and do not come to any conclusion.

According to me the laws should be re framed and every corrupt politician and government official who is guilty of committing any grave crime should be shot dead in front of red fort, New Delhi and all the human rights people should be thrown out of the country for talking of human rights which is regardless in the politicians case. They are the kings of democracy akin to the kings of the medieval ages. They declare themselves as gods and goddesses of modern world and even go to the level of adjusting their images in an actual portrait as gods. We are nothing but helpless in this country and are robbed on day day basis. If this notion becomes reality and the politicians turn into real gods they will rob us of our soul and deny us our right to live.

The condition is going to aggravate and probably no one can stop or resist it, so my thoughts are that try to get as much away from this land of doom and live the rest of your lives peacefully! Amen

Life is miserable.

For some people life is very rude. The intensity is so severe sometimes that it leads to moral & emotional breakdowns accompanied with severe depression and no other person in this world is present to share it. This is the stage where a person is on the verge of mental breakdown. He desperately seeks reprieve but it is non existent. The spiritualistic content starts vanishing from the persons brain and he looks at everything in deep despair. There are often some thin rays of sunshine peeping in from some distant corners of life but they seem to be too weak to enlighten and bring in a drastic change. This is just like inhaling a poisonous gas slowly or like drinking a slow poison at frequent time intervals.

A person is so desperate sometimes that he seeks reprieve in other persons success and joy and this is only a temporary phase. It provides just a mere illusion of joy and happiness and vanishes within the thin air. If there is something like god present in this world he will also try to manage bypassing all the trouble and pain of this person because its all endless for him, pain and suffering are his best friends and they accompany him like his shadows. If something good is predicted it all turns out to be bad exactly the opposite. The persons shoulders are bent down by the ever rising expectations of his near and dear ones. He's not able to find any intermediate solutions or permanent solutions for this kind of problems.

The ever bad times are so a part of this persons life that if for a change if something of a positive nature happens in his life he does not believe it and let go of it. Good news always evades him when its his turn despite all his efforts, hard work all proves out to be in vain as he is not blessed with good luck. He does not believe in his luck anymore and considers it as an non existent entity. He seems to be like a warrior who is fighting a never ending battle. Success , positive thinking , joy and happiness are no more important to him. He considers them as derogatory terms.


This face is literally unending and all the pain and agony and grief will be a part of his life till his death. Its like he has accepted this all as his destiny and has made up his mind that he is never ever going to win this conquest. He looks at his peers in great astonishment as they had started their journey together but today they are way ahead of him and leading better lives. He's left far behind and thinks of never catching up with them, the statements like the one i picked from the famous novel 'THE ALCHEMIST', "When you want something all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it". But he understands now that these are mere illusionary lines just like the mirage in the desert, which are used to increase the book sales.

All the hard work and painstaking efforts taken by him are just meant to result in failure and he has accepted this failure also as a part of his life. He has reached a point of no return, he is fighting his head against the wall, he is riding that tiger which is sooner or later going to eat him and tear him apart, to provide him a gateway to hell. He's so sure from the past experiences that he knows one day he is going to drown.

The bad times are always accompanying him and good times always find some excuse or reason to deceive him and get away from him as far as possible like he is an untouchable. Finally the dark clouds prevail over him and he awaits yet another failure and the life goes on till death. Death also deceives this poor chap and he spends his life in mere disdain.

The dove and the humans.

This is the story of a person which i am correlating to that of a dove. As we all know the doves are a group of birds flying from one water body to another as the season changes and seek refuge in the nearby environment surrounding the water body. These birds also have another dimensions in their lives when they mate and their small ones look at this world after the hatching the egg. One of the worst part is that in these birds society there's a universal rule that is present from the moment a new born comes out of the hatched egg, that is "SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST", the parent doves also give specific attention to the bird which is fully fit and dominating and throws other weaker siblings out of their nest and i know this seems to be ruthless but is an ardent and unavoidable truth.

The same is being followed in our society i mean to say the society where this person is thriving in and searching for his place hoping against all hopes. I have to admit that in our society also in the times of this cut throat competitive era and increasing foothold of the globalization one has to be excellent at academics and overall an all rounder otherwise he will sink without a trace and will be shown his way to the exit by our so called accommodating society. This again seems to be harsh as one expects better qualities from the humans such as kindness, tenacity of helping, living in a community and having a mutual bond in the form of relationship, just like parents, relatives, elder or younger brothers and sisters etc. We live under this pretext that human being is social amongst all living beings and has a mind to think and execute and rationalize between good and bad, my question to everyone is that if we have all this tendencies then why do we behave like the doves who do not have any reasoning ability and just act on what they see.

I again ask the same question that are we any different from doves or other living beings despite of having a fully grown and functional brain. We detest everything that makes us uncomfortable, just try to realize the fate of this person who's totally isolated just because he's not able to perform consistently on the academic ground, that he does not have that tendency to grasp faster and is termed as a dumb, he is unemployable because he does not have the requisite degree. This is the plight of just being poor in academics or under performers. If we are so called educated and sophisticated people we should have the same accommodating space for them to let them survive and increase their self confidence.

There's one greatest human quality which needs to be invoked and that's love and sympathy, we need to sympathize with the persons and provide them with an extra moral boost that they can and they will perform great in the course of time, what they need is practice and guidance amalgamated with love. This enhances them and increases their self confidence which prior to this had hit the rock bottom.

After all we are human beings the wisest on this planet far better than that of a dove.
