Indecisiveness-Plethora of Problems

Being in two minds is being mindless. As they say that its not about taking right decisions but about making them right. I always believe that not taking any decision is worst then taking a wrong one. It is always advisable to do something & be wrong rather than being wrong without doing anything. Indecisiveness stems out of fear of being wrong. Indecisiveness ultimately makes the person a victim of circumstances. By being indecisive we make ourselves vulnerable to people & circumstances around us. The root cause of any ills in a man & society is its vulnerability to external environment. By letting the circumstances prevail upon oneself we kill the innate decision taking capacity within us.
But being indecisive is a sort of natural tendency within us. We always want homeostasis without any internal adjustments. Indecisiveness strangulates the person within our body. As our former PM Narsimha Rao once famously said "Not taking a decision is itself a decision" shows how we submit ourselves to the circumstances. I always believe that our brain doesn't let us to settle down at any conclusion inspite of lacking options. With all the analysis that goes into taking of a decision ultimately our mind still haunts us with the fear of failure.
The main reason why UPA Government lost the mandate was due to its indecisiveness. With many pending projects & unclear policies, the government never cared to take a decision. In our life, we care about being right or wrong but we never care about being ourselves. The biggest cause of any misery is our surrendering to the circumstances. The greatest irony is to suffer from a problem inspite of knowing its cause & treatment. Indecisiveness is the biggest example of mental blockage within our mind.
While we all struggle from this problem but remember that it's only we who can deal with it.

ELECTIONS-FESTIVAL OF DEMOCRACY

The world just experienced the greatest electoral exercise in the history of mankind. Tomorrow we will come to know the results of this grand exercise. But the elections of 2014 have really galvanised the youth of India. They have made them reaffirm their faith in the bright future of India. In recent years,  elections in India have brought more pessimism than optimism. But the elections of 2014 have sparked that ray of hope in the minds of disgruntled indians. While how much of that hope culminates into reality is for the political class of India to answer but these elections have witnessed unprecedented electoral participation. With all the ills of the political class of India, survival of democracy is the proof of how strongly we believe in democracy. Post-Emergency election results were a tight slap on the face of those people undermining Indian Democracy & Indian population.
Whatever the results may be but the underlying outcome of the elections is the victory of the indian electorate. The enthusiasm amongst the 1st time voters & optimism amongst the senior citizens is the ultimate proof of our bright future. Elections are more about participation & less about pessimism. The resounding debates about national issues during elections, the views & counter-views, the sense of being Indian are all the positive takes of a typical indian election. Elections are those events where our "INDIANESS" manifests itself. Young indians participating in large numbers is a sign of healthy & vibrant democracy. While tomorrow we will know whether Mr. Modi has been successful in convincing Indian voters BUT certainly I can say that INDIA has won. YOU HAVE WON.
More do I discuss & debate national issues more does my indianess manifests. I hope you all also experience the same. I have made up my mind to be more vibrant & well-informed about the national issues. I hope you all have also made up your minds for the same.
I can assert with certainty that Lok Sabha Elections are as good a festival as a HOLI OR DIWALI is.
INDIA HAS WON. YOU HAVE WON.

A THOUGHT ON OUR THINKING

Birds flying in the sky & thoughts flowing in the brain are often directionless. While travelling through the mystic land of thoughts, I have realised that ultimately our mind rules us. I believe that thinking is manifestation of the subtle inputs which our subconscious mind receives. We never create a thought but we generate it. The effects of any event can be gradual or spontaneous. Thoughts of unknown origin are nothing but the gradual effect of any event which our mind has witnessed. Subconsciously our brain witnesses many events which our conscious brain refuses to acknowledge.
Subconscious exposure to any evil event is the input for an evil thought. As Swami Vivekananda puts it "Be careful about what you think because your thoughts become your action". The greatest test of mental strength is the resistance which our brain can apply to such an evil exposure. While exposure to any event may not be in voluntary control but the thought generation thereafter is definitely the indicator of our mental strength. The development of any ideology is nothing but consolidation of particular set of thoughts in our mind. When the ideology is consolidated beyond a point, the rational approach to any thought takes a backseat. Thinking is a two sided sword. While thinking with open mind can act as auto-correction mechanism, similarly, vice versa can create an havoc. Closed minded ideologies have often created bloodsheds & pogroms.
To consolidate any set of thoughts without questioning its bonafides can often create irrational events. At the same time, being swayed away by any thought can make one indecisive & incompetent. The main thing is to strike a balance between both & ultimately act in accordance with the society. The ultimate goal of human race is to be HUMANS 1st.
I rest my opinion for people to decide their thoughts & act accordingly.

Because India Deserves Better

As we head into the arithmetic & chemistry of next government formation, I feel the core issues of development & job creation have taken a back seat. The enthusiasm & vigour amongst the new age voters signifies the undercurrent for a better change. We often tend to believe that urban citizens are more enlightened. But the voting percentage contrast in rural & urban areas shows the urban elite it's true standing. Respecting & reciprocating to democracy is our duty 1st & right 2nd. The only way things can change is by active electoral participation & not morcha type behaviour. I believe voting should be made compulsory to enhance the role of public participation in democracy.
Having said all that, the sole purpose of our electoral participation is our quest for more civic comforts we deserve. Government & Governance are not meant to distribute freebies but provide essential opportunities for the well being of the society. Our preamble states "We, the people of India....." but I feel we are more gripped by the feeling of ME rather than WE. I feel things change & by mere pessimism we are heading for further downfall. I still strongly believe in our idea of India. As Swami Vivekananda puts it "WE ARE DESTINED FOR A GREAT FUTURE". People may think that my thoughts are mere rhetoric but my belief in our greatness will never cease to exist. My conviction to the core has made be to believe that 21st century belongs to India. I believe in VASUDHAIV KUTUMBH. I can see mother india making her mark on the world.
Don't make the mistake of rejecting my thoughts as rhetoric emotional outflow. I & my indians are here to re embark on your past glory & set the terms for the future.

Relativity of Truth

Human civilisation has spent centuries trying to find the absolute truth. The events & precedents which were considered to be true, are now being challenged radically. I often think that have we evolved in our thinking or have the things around us changed? Old beliefs & rituals are constantly being challenged in the name of intellect.
In this commotion & chaos we have missed the underline ethos of Ethics & principles. We have progressed enough to fly high in the space but equations of human relations have taken a hit. We may claim to have reached Moon & Mars but in the process we have reached tenterhooks of life & emotions.
By stating all this I do not intend to undermine the achievements of 21st century generation but I am point out the treasured past which we have lost in achieving this. Development in holistic terms should definitely include the inter personal relations. I strongly recommend & believe in the age old vedic proposition "Vasudhaiv Kutumbh" and "Sar Panth Sambhav".
With every passing day we have to come to terms that distances in miles are decreasing BUT distances in smiles are increasing. Whatsapp may have made communication faster but the inner connectivity between the people has decreased. After reaching the pinnacle of materialistic success, great men have realised that happiness is not in complex & complicated gadgetry but in touching the tender core of emotions. I do not mean that we go back to the age bullocks BUT lets not get trapped in this wires & buttons.
LIVE WITH TECHNOLOGY
NOT ON TECHNOLOGY.

I, THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA..........

As we celebrate our 65th Republic Day, I wish to share my thoughts & feelings about the SUPREME DOCUMENT OF INDIA, THE INDIAN CONSTITUTION. Much has been said & debated about the Indian Constitution & its various aspects, We are no one to challenge the work of our founding fathers. But I certainly believe that changing times do call for a review of our constitution without touching upon its FUNDAMENTAL & BASIC TENANTS.

The Indian Constitution is the guiding force & principle for the working of the Largest Democracy of the World. The Fundamental Rights enshrined in our Constitution are the basic human rights which give LIFE to our LIVES. The Biggest Gift which we have got after independence is THE RIGHT TO PROTEST PEACEFULLY. I firmly believe that Opposition & Protest are more fundamental than anything enshrined in our Constitution. The Right to Protest & oppose serve as the soul of our Constitution because no Country can grow without a vibrant Democracy. The Emergency of 1975 has proved that without the active check of the Opposition how a DEMOCRACRY CAN TURN INTO AUTOCRACY OVERNIGHT. Those Black Days of Indian Democracy remind us to fight for our rights & be vigilant & vibrant in our democracy. I personally believe that defeat of Congress in 1977 Elections was a people's victory & triumph of Democracy over Autocracy.

The Constitution of India in those days was nothing more than merely a piece of document. Those events reitrate the importance of Opposition in a Democracy. Another important event with regard to Indian Constitution is the famous KESHVANAND BHARTI CASE. That case was yet again a triumph of Constitution. THE SUPREME COUT OF INDIA in that case very correctly decided that PARLIAMENT IS NOT ABOVE CONSTITUTION. It again upheld the principle of sovereignty of the Constitution & limited the amending powers of the Constitution. Every pillar of democracy i.e. LEGISLATIVE, JUDICIARY, EXECUTIVE are equally important & the most important is THE CONSTITUTION which is the guiding force of these three.

The Right to Speech & Express opinion is again a boon of Indian Constitution wherein we are empowered to express our views & oppose someone's views. But the sad part of this right is that people tend to oppose the person & not the view in the name of this right. As we are yet to mature as a democracy we sometimes tend to misuse this right. People must realise that Constitution has given us the Right to Speech & not the Right to Abuse. I am optimistic that as we move ahead in our journey of democracy we will very soon realise the correct usage of this law.

As the owner of this Nation, It is the duty as well as the right of every citizen to follow the SUPREME BOOK OF INDIA. We have our own share of flaws but that must not deter us from marching ahead in our path of democracy. Ultimately it is for the people of India to decide as to in which type of India do they want to live.

At the end I would just like to express My Idea of India
