The hard truth..

I sometimes start wondering.. What is the true meaning of life? Is it just that we are born, we grow up, we study, get into a good job, make a family, spend lavishly, save something, grow old and die!! Is that all?? What have we achieved from this? Where have we made a mark beyond our loved ones? How will the world know that we ever existed? It’s hard but the naked truth is that none of us has ever taken this issue seriously in our heads.

The Indian brain even though comparably more efficient is always set to a narrow path and doesn't think otherwise. With this mechanical set up we have gradually lost our self interests, forgotten our true selves, confused to follow a rare dream fearing the social consequences. Take the media for example every channel is set up with a commercial purpose. Why can't we think new? Is it an offence? Or is it the fear that people will start calling us crazy, just as they call the guy running behind snakes in the dangerous Amazon jungle in NGC.. So be it? Why fear? after all you are running after your dreams right.. What I feel is that most people in India respect revenue more than themselves. Well its not their fault. Our society is as such. It honors only those who have pride money and power. But it should change. Take our great heroes like Sania Mirza, Kalpana Chawla, Vishwanath Anand etc. Many would have thought it to be insane to run behind a ball or to dedicate your whole life towards a board and a set of coins. They would have probably been laughed at, at the beginning. But today none of the gossips remain. Only the achievements stand still. So when there are a few who can break the chains, why not everyone? After all we’re Indians too having the same blood flowing through us.
So many opportunities are now being provided without discrimination in India so I recommend grab it when it is still near. Innovate your ideas in a wider range touching every nook and corner of this world. Indians must be praised not only for their engineering and medical skills but also in the fields of oceanology, nanology, robotics, geology, archeology, paleontology etc where we have only a hand full of known faces.
We have the maximum of youth population with fresh ideas, but with a little bit of a twist in thoughts India can reach mighty heights.. Cheerio!!
