Like, Share and Follow: There is a Difference

Every time whenever you have a problem you either want to share it with someone closer or mostly pray to god.

The first one we do in the belief that the closer one will give suggestion and the second one, we just want some miracles to happen to come out of problems. So, when the problem gets bigger we try to see whether there is any shortcut to come out.

It is known that god never answers soon. So everyone looks for someone similar to god, does some tricks, which looks odd and talks little philosophy. These kind of persons are groomed themselves like such and their mediator work between us and god starts. These kinds of people are in most religions and earn money through that. All they do is just give some advises or give a little confidence to overcome that. These preaching will surely be heard by every common man from their parents, friends, well-wishers and lovables. But everyone start believing that they are feeling some changes in themselves with the same words in a different version from the gods mediators. Well and good they had changes, but what about they caught and their real faces when tear off, do you still can feel changes in you.

The thing i found odd here is why you need to believe someone and follow him when he can still do flaws like you and a human like us. There are many who showed us how to live and are still living in our hearts like Buddha, Teresa, Periyar and from Jesus to Krishna we had enough to follow. To my knowledge there is nothing left to say something new because all the facts or things to get inspired is already said by someone lived before. If you want to follow someone new just follow them after they passed away in which they had no chance for behaving like normal humans.

So the best in my views is 'like' a living legend, share his views to others, +1 his services and follow him when he has nothing more to do as a human. 

Thanking you.

I, Me and Myself - An Indian Confession

Hi all, 

Let me introduce myself. I'm an Indian. I'm here to explain about my characteristics. You can see me everywhere.Turn to your left, I'm there. Turn to your right, I'm also there. If you’re alone, I'm you as well. I'm not the same one everywhere. I'm divided by languages, states, religions, castes etc. Still, I'm enjoying the so called “Unity in Diversity”. Mine is a developing country. Here is a list of things I do for my country.

Starting from little things, I always complain about my country’s pollution. But, I don’t have the patience to throw my waste in the bin. Yes, I litter everywhere I go. Not only littering, I can spit on the roadsides of my country. I hate corruption; I bribe people to get my things done faster. In short, I cheat my government, every way I can and I expect favours from my government. I shout at piracy; I download and watch movies that released a day before, instead of going to a movie theatre. I curse people who asks dowry; I can’t accept a girl without dowry.

Agriculture is the backbone of my country and I've done no good to agriculture since my birth. I love nature; I kill trees for my home and business. I whine about accidents; I hardly follow any traffic rules. After all of this, I've many other unique specialities which, can’t be shrunk into a blog post. I show my patriotism, philanthropy, social awareness, public interest and everything else only on social media. I will not take any steps further

.

I wonder how many of me are going to understand this self-criticizing post and let go the few mentioned characteristics that are harmful to myself and my nation as well. If one does, I’m happy that I achieved something.

I should change myself.

Honestly,

You.

It’s not two, but three

Every species that lives on earth has equal priority. But humans seem to rule everything. He destroys forest, creates technology and spoils himself. If you ask me that, is humanity cherished and glorified throughout the globe with this? Everyone knows, the answer is no.

The Ignorance among humanity starts from one on one to state to state and nation to nation. The equality among humanity is everybody is still human in appearance, but is there anybody in this human species they are sometimes not accepted (in India), being most ignored from living a common life and many even thrown out of home by their parents.

It was an evening time on train, Thinking was flowing from Davin-ci-code to tamarind seeds, trees to web development, Fourier transform to Facebook and the irritating weather made me to scold the Fourier transforms professor in bad words thinking about the worst classes which are never interesting. Because looking out of window can make your memories fly anywhere.

I had a touch on my shoulder and when I turned back, I saw a person standing with lots of make-up and was begging to me with a clap and I am scared much and moved a little back. They are trans-genders and they came in a group and one said to the other that i got scared by looking at them, then the other laughed and said ok let’s go to the next compartment.

After they went this incident became the title for the passengers around to speak about. One guy said these people always used to disturb others and the other started to support him with different affirmative sentences. A guy on a red t-shirt with age around 17 clapped hands to imitate like them and everyone around gave a sounded laugh!!! , the eclairs wrapper on the guy’s hand moved down, the wrapper seemed to be searching for a dustbin to rest on but it couldn’t find one.

To my surprise I didn’t find that red tees guy was not scolded or even a stare look by his mom. Then on the next station, a physically challenged guy was cleaning the floor with a broom stick and is asking for money. He moved the wrapper with his broomstick and goes on.

After they crossed me, I had this question on my mind. You won’t respect, you won’t give equal rights and you won’t give jobs. But you want them not to beg and even not to come in front. Is this acceptable?

I don’t know why I got that fear by seeing the trans-gender people. It may be because I have never seen such people on a common crowd. They are being ignored and so they choose to stay with people who are ignored like them.

I am not asking to give off everything or stand up and salute them, just treating them equal and giving them equal status in the society will make a huge difference in their lives. So whoever reads this, if you had a change in a way of how you look at them, then this blog has really added a view.

I had many ideas for blogging but I want my first blog to be about our routine way of hurting people which we do without our knowledge.

Yours bloggingly,

Sukanthan Jai.

Disclaimer Is Injurious To Movies

A common man in India has planned to escape his stressful life, by going to

a movie theatre. You know what he’ll face first? Yes, an awareness clip

that describes the ill effects of smoking. And it will not stop there,

every time a smoking scene comes in the movie a disclaimer appears. Two

years before, Indian Health ministry passed the act which forced the movies

to show the disclaimers we’re facing now.

The consequences like the cancellation of Woody Allen’s ‘Blue Jasmine’

release in India and Anurag Khasyap’s opposition on behalf of his ‘Ugly’

are well known. Like this, several acts intended to control tobacco usage

have passed before. Banning advertisements of tobacco products, WELL DONE.

Smoking in public as a punishable offence, AWESOME. Printing “Tobacco

kills” on tobacco product covers, JUST GREAT. But, why movies? What about

other entertainers like books? Let’s just assume a disclaimer printed every

time Lord Shiva lights up a joint in our well acclaimed ‘Shiva Trilogy’,

the book will become a nightmare isn't it? One buys a book to enjoy its

content, not to learn the side effects of smoking. The same applies to a

movie ticket.

Speaking of the clip that played in the beginning of movies, is it

displayed for the right audience? No. What about people who don’t smoke?

And, What about kids, who doesn't even know what tobacco is? It might

create a negative popularity among them. And, those disclaimers during the

smoking scenes, Do we have a disclaimer that states “Raping Women is a

punishable offence” during rape scenes? No one praises rape in our movies,

yet they happen everywhere. Sometimes, the disclaimer appears in the screen

and we can’t even find the guy who smokes, we have to search and our

discovery will be some person in the long shot or out of focus. Eventually,

this induces us to find that smoking person and distracts us from the movie.

 Despite airing these disclaimers for years, people continue to smoke and

still India is the home of 12% smokers. Let’s hope our government will come

up with something meaningful, which saves us all from those incoherent

disclaimers & clips, and allow us to enjoy the movies peacefully.
