Life goes on and on and on...

Though my busy days seem to end with me, I've hardly run short of time for my friends.

I don't find a reason to love you, yet I do. I might find many a reasons to hate you, yet I won't.

I don't find a reason to live; I don't find a reason to die either.

The best part in having none to care is I won't cry.

I don't wanna be your friend for ever, but I wish if I could be one when you feel down.

When I feel down I lean on to an arm chair cus it's softer than any shoulder I've ever found.

If you ever want to be loved, don't love.

People often don't realize the worth of love cus the price is paid by the other person.

Racism

“Indian student killed in Australia,” “another Indian attacked,” “Two Indians attacked in Brisbane,” “Four more Indians attacked in Australia” – So read the headlines of dailies. And it continued with: “BJP delegation meets Krishna on attacks on Indians,” “Victorians feel attacks on Indians are not racist,””Melbourne has racists, but racism is not endemic’: Police,” “Attack on Indians: Govt monitoring on daily basis,” “Lee condemns attacks on Indians in Australia,” “Australia sets up high-level group to probe attacks,” “Rudd’s nephew protests racist attacks,” “Cases of attacks on Indians to be dealt with firmly: Australian judge,” and so on…

Racism, is it in the blood of only Europeans, the Britishers as we read in our Independence History; the Australians, as the media portrays these days? Well, I disagree with it. Racism exist in the blood of every human being one way or the other. Though I never had to face it I’ve seen it in my life in various forms. I’ve heard others say their experiences, but no one ever termed it as racism, maybe cus they didn’t know about it and no media ever made a news out of it.

When it comes to the Australian attacks, the hype that the media creates is for its survival alone. If it were to project realities it would have taken into account how many Indians are killed in a year, how many other foreigners are killed in a year and also how many Australians are killed in a year. That would have brought the truth out. I’m not quite sure about these figures, but if the figures are same one will know that it has nothing to do with racism. Killings are quite common everywhere in this world. Is there no foreigners being killed in India? Will we call it racial, even if it is so?

And what about the killings of our own brothers and sisters in the name of language and religion? What should we name it as? Is it not racism? Just think about the verbal and physical attacks on North Indians by South Indians and vice versa. What about the attacks in the name of language, caste and creed? What about the iinnocents killed on the basis of demolition of Babri Masjid, killing of Christians in Kandhamal, Orissa as well as in Karnataka; what about the killing of Hindi speaking people in Gujarat? When we can’t love our own brothers and sisters, when we fight against each other, what right do we have to call others racists, even when we are not sure if it is racism?

The recent developments in Maharashtra make us put our heads down on shame. I wonder if we have a government at all in place. It’s well known that law is in the hands of few goons who can shout, beat and murder anyone they want. It’s a pity that even the court rulings favor them fearing bloodshed. What a toothless administration system we have in place, but not that toothless when it comes to judge others, where will we turn to for justice?

I know what I write here may be misinterpreted by many, but I don’t give a damn cus I don’t care for fools. In this world where only criminals and animals have human rights all I wish is if we could better live as human beings.

Le moi

I prefer not to achieve anything cus I don't want my friends to lose me. But if you ask why I do that as I believe that no friends remain for ever, I'd say it's cus I believe that even for a second if I can be a friend and give a moment of joy it's worth more than a lifetime of achievements.

The reason why I don't even promote my blog is cus I believe that only for seekers it'll make sense. If it's worth it'll come out of the box though of course world will neglect it cus it doesn't cost them anything.

When I say something they will say it's wrong, but once they experience they come back and say it's right. But what a pity, they still follow the same way.

When many are worried that they are not loved even when there are people around to love them, I'm glad that no one loves me cus that gives me freedom n I don't have to worry about myself.

The world think that I'm out of my mind for not jumping the signal. Though the world and I myself has changed I still believe that red is stop and green is go.

The world says I'm a fool for not taking up the jobs that offer big sums. But I don't want myself to be bought.

When the world think that I'm useless cus I don't have certificates I believe that it's knowledge that counts.

I'm glad I didn't get through few interviews cus I don't have to work under people who look at at others through the books they have learned and don't recognize the worth of a person.

I believe selling one's body is better than selling one's soul.

When the world says virginity is not divinity but it's lack of opportunity I believe it's the matter of integrity.

From romance to flirting, from creativity to inspiration, I pity on those who think I'm impotent cus they don't know my potential.

I'm never a loser, but those who think that I can't.

I often go against my wishes and likes, and that brings the best out of me.

Most often it's the things I loved or wanted most that I said no to.

I prefer not to do everything for everyone, cus otherwise I'll end up doing things for those who don't need it.

I often wished if I weren't a Christian so that I don't have to humble myself, I don't have to play the fool, I don't have to lose the pleasures of the world, etc. etc. But then when I think of the immense love, joy, happiness and grace that surrounds me I feel I'm blessed beyond measures to be a Christian.

In terms of technology and standards, mentality and thoughts, I feel I'm born too early, cus things I find around is far way behind my expectations when even the hi-fi people around have the mindset of 1947 . And I feel I'm born too late in terms of love and affection, sincerity and faithfulness, cus now a days no one has time to spend for each other when ethics is a matter of shame.

The medical bank

My dad never goes to a doctor when he falls sick. There was a time I used to feel that it’s not right. But now that I have my own reasons I too prefer to stay away from doctors. When my dad falls sick I don’t force him to doctor cus I believe that there’s no use. Though there was a time I frequented clinics and hospitals now it’s been years since I checked into one to get myself checked. I don’t opine that one should never make it to a doctor, but I feel that one need to think twice before doing it. Cus all they do is nothing but experiments on the patient.

What is it that makes me think this way? It was not a sudden thought, but it evolved through years to get into such a conclusion for me. I’ve lost faith in doctors since medical profession has become nothing but a financial institution that mints money. And when it comes to the quality of service I don’t find any reason to believe in their capability with the advancement of technology and all the ultramodern equipment.

There was a time when we were not so well educated, but people had lesser problems. There were doctors who could say at a glace what the patient is suffering from when there were no medical colleges. So what does that imply? The quality of education and what the institutions provide now is nothing but some means to make money. I believe that knowledge is a gift from God that can’t be sold or bought. But that’s what is happening now, which results in the crushing down of the whole profession.

Coming to the ground realities, let’s take a look at a normal person who suffers from a headache or body pain or a fever. It’s quite normal for a human being to have these problems in life. It’s the normal way body reacts to the environment. But a person who thinks it’s a problem will run to the doctor. And the doctor will prescribe some pain killer or a medicine, that he himself has got no idea of how it works, which is supplied or being marketed by a medical rep, and suppresses it, but never overcomes the problem. Often headaches, fever and such kinds won’t last for ever. But the patient tends to think it’s the medicine that works.

And if it doesn’t get right, the patient gets back to the doctor, who in turn will either increase the dose or try some other medicine. Here again the doctor won’t have any idea what exactly the patient is suffering from. Now if the patient is lucky enough the cure takes place, not because of the medicine, but naturally as time pass by. And if that doesn’t happen, then the doctor has to think of all the possibilities he has learned of. And now due to the lack of knowledge the patient will be asked to undergo few tests that might bring any outcome. If the patient is lucky enough he’ll come out with a lab report that speaks about a viral fever of anything of that sort.

But what if those reports are negative? Well, then there will be another set of tests that the patient has to undergo. And this will keep repeating, making a hole in the patient’s pocket. And unless it’s some disease that needs such tests, the patient finally comes out with a certificate that states everything is alright. And at the end what transpires is a doctor is one who plays with our luck.

It isn’t every doctor that I speak about, but majority of them. There still are doctors who really have the call and are serious about what they do. They put their whole heart and mind into it. And that is where one finds result. That doctor is the one who work not for money, but for results. But unfortunately due to the exorbitant fees and the fat pockets that await, medical colleges render pride, status and no service. Doctors go by the books, with no heart set on what they do. May be few of them join with good intention, but end up following the crowd. And of course a small number of doctors do filter through in the process with real knowledge.

As far as eyes are set on money there will be no favorable outcome. What they learn and do will be only for that. And as far as money rules there will be no skill produced. Gone are the days of doctors who used to do service for the society. That is why we need to bribe them in order to take care of even patients on their death bed. I haven’t come across doctors who are ready to do an operation freely when a person’s life is in danger. The more danger a patient faces the more demand the doctor has.

And the tag line is: I call those doctors servants as they serve, with utmost respect. But for others who do it for money, I give more respect to servants than them.
