The Lamp of a Lady...

So, I have decided to write again. And this time, its about the lady. Often in this country, or maybe even in this world either we tend to overlook the topic or we try not to speak about it. So, here I am, speaking about it. Its not like I am writing about it because my girlfriend was pushing me too much into the topic the girls dominate over boys. She never said so. Basically for two obvious reasons. One, for she doesn't exist and two, for if she ever would, she'd know that I highly respect personal views. So, apparently, we are living in a world, or maybe a country where people are inclined towards a dominant mindset and, lets face it guys, a place where people are more sentimental, superstitious and ancient ideology believers than being logical and practical. Come on guys. Why do you have to bring some kind of shame to the country? I guess we already had enough of it. What would a world be without women? Not much has changed since 3 centuries. Only that, at that time, girls were victims of foeticide and now either we murder them alive for honour or burn their hearts when they come out to this world, which is much more painful than death.
 I really hope that we understand now, that they need respect. That they need security. That they need to feel that we are with them not in front of them. What are you people so proud of. Are you proud of the strength you have? Are proud of the hand you had over the women for all these years? Well, you were the ones who who first cut their hands so that the cannot fight for equality. For the justice they deserve.
They do not need reservations. Frankly, I am against any kinds of reservations. Reservations only means that you are not helping them, but, you are giving them crutches to walk on. What women need now is a support to know how to walk. To be independent in future. No one likes to be in crutches. In plain words, they need someone they can trust. Some one who'd teach them how to walk. Someone who wold not push them to be dependent on crutches.
Women, they want to fight. They want to learn. They want to be among us. They want to walk with us. Not behind us. Its high time we realise that it should not be, "Behind every successful man, there is a woman", but it should rather be, "Behind every successful human, there is another human"
I truly believe friends, that a guy's best-est friend can only be a girl. A girl who'd lend him a shoulder to cry on. A girl, who'd not be judgmental as boys are naturally. Without girls, this beautiful world would be monotonous, grey, melancholic. The day we grow up and treat girls as equals will be the day humanity takes its biggest step toward human peace and prosperity.

"TREAT THEM AS EQUAL. THEY DESERVE IT."

RaNDoM......

Well, I had been on a long holiday i guess. 12th is a hell for students in India. You can not actually complain about it. Cause you know it's gonna decide your future. Well decided to write again this evening. Been of for what? 4 months or so. Now. Its Sunday today. so i decided to throw some light upon the different pieces to the cake. Well, things had been tough lately but came up with really amazing thoughts. Some of which, I'll be sharing today. Lately i had been connecting well to a friend. A friend I made while my stay at Calcutta, India. Also known as the city of joy. Well, talking to this friend of mine, to whom i dedicate today's entry, i came up with a new secret ingredient of the cake. It was, to put it in my words sometime, its not a person who loves you, takes care of you, is your partner,talks to you the whole day, is what you need. sometimes, its the friend, a friend with whom you could talk to, with whom you could celebrate your happiness and cry yet laugh when your friend is sad, without having the tension of what the person will think. Having the faith that no matter what the situation would be, your friend would understand the situation and do the thing that is needed. Cause I have been friends with people who succumb under the fear that sometimes, their innocent stupidity of way of life may hurt the ones they love. So, unable  to change themselves  the live a secret true life and an open "moral" life. India, I guess is one of those countries, where you actually have to go through all this and you'd, at times still not understand, what went wrong. It happens, on contrary with what Oprah Winfrey said "only in India". Cause at the end of the day everyone is made of the same carbon derivative. Cause according to the Christian mythology, we are here from the same Adam and Eve.

Now, another thing I realised just a few days back, is there is a fine line between accepting a thing of moving on with it, or just letting things happen they way they do. We need to realise that at times, acceptance is not just living with it. Its also sometimes going into the thing if its troubling you. Changing it. The sooner you realise what to accept and what to let go, you'll realise that you have started to stay happy.

Alrighty readers....I guess its all for today. Believe me guys, and girls, you are gonna love it when i go to college. Goodnight. Taste the cake.

ENJOY.. :D

A BUDGET SPEECH.... GET AMAAAAAAZED... :D

It is Budget time again and next Thursday the finance minister will address Parliament with a speech which you will never hear except from my auto-wallah : Madam Speaker, I rise to present the Union Budget for 2013-2014. This is a pre-election year and the people expect give-aways and bribes-for-votes . But this is not going to happen in this Budget. So, here is my advice to citizens. Go home; on the way, pick up the garbage that you threw out the window. Wash the street. Teach your children about their duties, not just their rights. Tell them to spend an hour each week on their neighbourhood, learning democratic ‘habits of the heart’. 
India does not owe you cheap diesel, cooking gas or subsidized food. Nor does it owe you free electricity, make-work jobs, loan waivers, or even reservations. The only thing the state owes is good governance. This begins with law and order, as Nirbhaya has reminded us. By the way, none of you stopped to help her on the road. We also owe you public goods — roads, clean drinking water and other infrastructure; plus, functioning schools and health care. After that, it is up to you to work hard, pull yourself up, pay your taxes and make India a great nation. 
A few years ago India was the envy of the world. We were growing rapidly, creating masses of jobs, and lifting millions out of poverty. All this happened because of our reforms. All governments after 1991 kept reforming, albeit slowly, but even the slow reforms added up to make us the world’s second fastest growing economy. The reforms stopped after the UPA came to power because we made a false trade-off between equity and growth. Instead of investing on growth we started spending on the poor. We also stopped approving new projects. This has led to high inflation, low growth, and an unsustainable fiscal deficit, which threatens our nation’s sovereign rating. 
Madame Speaker, our growth numbers hide real misery that has been inflicted upon the Indian people as growth has plunged from almost 9 per cent to 5 per cent. One percentage point of GDP growth means roughly 15 lakh jobs; each direct job creates three indirect jobs; and each job supports a family of five. If you do the arithmetic, Madam, you will find that a four percentage point drop in GDP has brought pain and suffering to around 12,00,00,000 Indians. 
Here are some examples of what went wrong. If we had continued the momentum in road building after we came to power, we might have been looking at a different India. A recent study by Ejaz Ghani and others for the World Bank shows that the highways built or upgraded by the Golden Quadrilateral have brought enormous gains in new manufacturing activity, jobs and productivity within ten km of the new highways. 
Land acquisition has been a problem. But we have made it worse now. To acquire an acre of land under the new Land Acquisition Bill will “take at least two years as the proposal would have to pass through about a hundred hands... social assessment would be carried out and its report would be vetted by an Expert Group... there would be an R&R Committee and a National Monitoring Committee to pontificate over the reports of the junior committees... The bill is anti-farmer and anti-growth , but it is certainly pro-civil society,” says a respected member of the National Advisory Council. 
What keeps me awake at night is that many of our policies have corrupted the morals of our people. When we cancelled loans of Rs 60,000 crores in 2008, a farmer who had just repaid his loan, sadly said, ‘What is the use of being honest? Human society is based on trust. We learned as children to keep our promises and repay our debts. Tulsidas reminded us, ‘praan jaye par vachan na jaye’. Loan waivers wound our moral universe in the same way as ‘make-work’ jobs adulteration of diesel with kerosene, and the vast theft of PDS food. 
The economic rise of India has been the defining event of our lives. But we let it slip. Today I shall promise to push reforms and try to restore the old magic. With this, I hasten to conclude Madame Speaker.

LOVE AND YOUR LIFE

So it was this very fine occasion when i decided to write again. About a topic we are lectured about. About a word that has misconceptions. About a feeling that is thought to be a taboo for a guy, generally under 18, but in some cases or people even under 30. Or shall i better remark it as under the eyes of someone else. I decided to write on this topic as this was the week. I know i may be really small to say something about this topic. But lets try and be real. So, lets start with what i have received from people. Their thoughts on this beautiful feeling called love. So i had this friend in a counselor Rupa mom. I use to call her mom as she used to be like a mom to me. Mom always used to tell me. Love mean commitments. And commitments need to be fulfilled. To all those reading it, its a sincere request, never commit to a girl till you cant be sure of supporting her. Imagine, a situation, go forbid, it so happens that you don't fulfill the commitment of always preserving that sweet innocent smile on her face, would you feel nice, if  you saw your love in the position she is just because you committed to her? Even you wouldn't have stayed in a situation like this. Secondly guys, i believe, there is a misconception  "there shouldn't be any expectations or jealousy or possessiveness in love". I strongly disagree guys. If you never had any expectations then wont you miss the fun in surprises of those expectations getting true in front of your eyes? If you don't feel a little jealous about your love being with someone else then how will she get to know the feeling that someone really fears that she will leave and that someone wants that she remains he forever? If you never were possessive about your love, how could you even say that you possessed her? The feeling of possessiveness arises when you know something is yours and you want it to remain yours. Don't you fear that something you possess will be lost someday if you don't take the pride in possessing it? Today when i write this I mention the names of few people i dearly love. The flower of love doesn't alone bloom in between the fruits of lovers, it blooms between the fruits of every relation.
I love my mom and dad for bringing me up and doing things that are inexplicable with just a mere power of words.
I love my sisters, Kamal Gandhi, for being an awesome fun sister: and Manshi Gandhi for being the biggest live wire critic of my life.
I love my special jerks: Rimjhim Choudhry & Apoorva Sharma  for being almost everything outside my family to me.
I love my favourite jerks: Rishab Praveen Vikas. For everything they did for me. Did you? :P
A special thanks to Rupa mom and Sohinii Sanyal for being my inspiration and giving me inspiration respectively.
A special thanks to everyone. Everyone who has ever made a difference in my life.

FOR LOVE IS LIVING WITH A FAMILY. BE IT WITH ANYONE.
