Freedom We Enjoy


First of all a very happy independence day in advance to all of you.

Oh you are married, please ignore the first line and read on.

We all are lucky to born in a free country and are enjoying the freedom for which our ancestors made many sacrifices. But our contribution is also significant for we have clearly understood the real significance of this freedom.

We are no more dependent on any other country or ruler to come and exploit us as we are now self-sufficient in doing that ourselves. Gone are the days when British looted us of our resources and exploited the people of India, we are smart enough to learn their strategy and implement among fellow Indians. 

We are even many steps ahead of our past rulers as we have created many barriers ourselves to divide the Indian society in many segments based on caste they belong, economic status, state/city people live in, religion they follow, political party they support and many more.

We are in process of developing more of such things to create chaos and enjoy the freedom to do it our way without giving any thought or keeping any sensitivity towards others (see, we know the meaning of “developing country” too).

What we love the most is our freedom of communication which gives us privilege to say anything to anyone literally. We can comment on anybody’s faith, behavior even the clothes they wear, we have no sympathy towards others while enjoying this power and others are also free to do so; Right to impartiality. If you are politically/financially strong, you can tease/abduct anybody and let her/him move along with you; Liberty of movement.

We celebrate this day by flying kites in the sky, an expression of freedom. But the irony is that we put up our best to cut down other kites and enjoy how skillfully we suppressed freedom of others. The day lits up the sense of what real freedom is but gets ignored under the shine of “A national holiday”.

How free we are to even carve out our own meaning of freedom and only freedom, duties are for losers…

Relations

Image
There are many relations in life, With a trend of coming and going. But few stay and never leave, The one which keeps life glowing,
Its not that everyone is lucky, There are only few who are blessed. Then why they just don't bother, And keep putting them at test.
Ask the one who remained alone, Finding someone with no gain. You might realize what you got, Don't make them diluted with pain.
Its ok that you keep expectation, There is no harm in keeping them. But don't make it a compulsion, Coz it might make the relation numb.

Silence

Image
Somehow things changed in a way, My ears stopped accepting sounds as they were. Filled with noise of thoughts in my mind, i keep searching cure to silence of her.
Intentional or not, that's not the question, She used to fight to sort it out. But now the words are not flowing, Making my mind go filled with various doubt.
How can i assume the things, And do what she wants me to do. I know she is kind to hint, But assumptions are surrounding the clue.
Why isn't the life easy, Why we stop ourselves to convey. Why to make assumptions play, And then lose the time in that way.
Waiting for other to guess, Might go the way you thought. But for 1 right there are 99 wrong too, Isn't that gonna pain a lot.
Instinct is required, When the other is not around. Then why to waste the opportunity, Lets speak the heart out and loud.

You have faced nothing yet

There was a young boy who was brilliant in every field. While studying in a vernacular school, he topped the senior secondary at national level. With all the happiness on his face, he came running to his dad at the evening and announced the news while describing the difficulties he faced and the hard work he deployed. His dad, while sipping his favorite whisky, pointed “Boy, you have faced nothing yet…” The son got puzzled.
With more enthusiasm, he cleared the entrance exam of the top ranked engineering institute with flying colors. Again at the evening when his father arrived and settled with his drink in the hand, the son announced it to him with elaboration of how difficult it is. His dad, with no change of expression on his face, remarked “Boy, you have faced nothing yet...” and continued with his drink.
Taking his father’s words as nothing but the sheer motivation, he topped the engineering too and got placed in an esteemed IT firm. Yet again, at the evening while his father was en…
