Don't Quit.. Just hang on..

Life has been so colorful, beautiful, pragmatic and wonderful for most of us but there are many who are denied of colorful and wonderful life. Failures and unwanted situations haunt them and push them to the brink of quitting. Many were left without any option and there is no one who could extend their helping hand. Life imposes lot of challenges( Read also:Challenges are inevitable in real life- 7 stratergies which will help face challenges) and push the weaker to quit their jobs, relationship, families and in most of the instances their own valuable life and or others too....
Recent days have witnessed random shooting spree in malls, schools, colleges and other public places. Taking revenge on someone before killing themselves has become common. Is it a problem of individuals or society?? The reason remains at large and there is no conclusion..

Age old Hermitage Ritual:

When I was in college we went to one of my class mates elder sister's marriage, I don't remember the venue of the marriage, but one of the ritual performed in the marriage was interesting. It's called Kasi Yatra.. Oh no Kasi yatra was for oldies and what it has to do in marriage? Does he really want to become a hermit? In that ritual Bride groom suddenly erupts up and says that he doesn't like the marriage and decides to go for Kasi yatra.. he goes out of the marriage hall. Then the bride's brother and relative convince him and bring him back and finally the bride groom pledges that he will not leave his wife in any situation. The take away in this ritual is that in marriage there could be lot of problems and to resolve the problems quitting from the relation is not an option and there is a solution for every problem.

Rough waves:

Life didn't spare even popular and the powerful.. Yuvaraj Singh, an Indian cricketer was at the height of his career. He was awarded man of the tournament when india won the world cup in 2011. Right after the world cup he was diagnosed with cancer.. Most of those who were diagnosed with cancer will be shattered, but yuvraj singh with his will power and determination bounced back and still makes the bowlers clueless with his powerful hitting. Isn't he a true inspiration to just hang on and not to quit...

Dead End :
we all know cat and dog are enemies for ever and ever. Once a dog was chasing a cat which is usual and after some moments everyone witnessed an un-usual thing. The cat was chasing the dog.. One man went up-to the cat and asked how did you mange to chase the dog which is more stronger than you. Cat replied.. "Dog was chasing me and I was running as fast as I could, but I reached a dead end which was closed from all side. I was left with only two options  either to surrender and lose my life or to fight back .. I chose to fight back, I posed like a tiger and started attacking the dog. Dog was taken aback". We are being chased by situations, emotions, fear etc.. to a dead end. We are left with with only two option's either to give up and quit or hang on and fight back. Those who fight back emerge victorious. All we need to do is Just hang on and fight back.

Rocky Roads:

We expect life to be smooth like travelling in a luxury car in a super smooth expressway with no obstacles and speed bumbers. Ironically life gives very smooth ride in a bullock cart in a rocky road with lot of obstacles and failures. World's richest and influential people passed through these rocky roads and still walking on it. Mala yousufai is the youngest noble laureate. She was shot multiple times from close range for refusing to quit studying... Life couldn't become more brutal than this. All we need do is just hang on until we reach the green pastures.

When u feel like quitting think of the purpose, why u started and also remember once you quit you have to start from the beginning. All we need to do is just hang on and search for solution, fight back, reach green pastures and emerge victorious.

India and cultural diversity

Image
India is  a beautiful sovereign country and is one of the most culturally diverse country. Anyone in the world would easily accept India as a cultural capital. The list runs miles when we talk about the cultural experience in the form of art, festivals, customs, social behavior etc. In many countries uniform culture is adapted, whereas in India every 100KM one can experience a new cultural variant and in every 500KM can easily experience a completely different culture. If anyone wishes to witness the rich cultural heritage of India, watch the republic day parade on 26th January every year, where cultural diversity of India is demonstrated by a colorful parade. Every state of India showcase their cultural heritage with great pride during the Republic day parade. Its a real treat to watch the cultural diversity.  State of Tamilnadu team in Republic day Parade  Cultural diversity enriches the country with many art forms and enhances creativity.

Are you ready for hefty traffic fine..

Image
It’s a great pleasure to write a blog for a social cause.. Recently government of India increased the traffic fines by almost 10x times hoping that the hefty traffic fines would force public to follow traffic  rules. I have tried to give a dimension to this whole episode with respect to the responsibilities of the Government, Individuals & Institution. The increase in fine has created  uproar as well as support among the public. It is usual in any democracy to have such split opinions. I think I was in 9th grade when my class teacher was very fond of imposing hefty fines. In those time a fine of ten rupees was hefty for a ninth grader. I have been in the construction industry for almost 20yrs. Apart from the hazards at the project site, a constant threat was travel related safety. Hence we were educated to follow the traffic rules time and again. Coming back to the topic, I happened to hear opinion from friends, Indian colleagues about  the hefty fines which have sent shock

A tribute to the fearless man with a turban and big moustache

It was early 20th century... It was more than 50years since Sepoy Mutiny(1857) happened, Well, British governance was facing tough agitation from Indian tribal leaders, Nawab's and Kings in many forms. By then British were  ruling India for more than a century and they have no plans to leave India because of the wealth it possesses, abundance of raw materials and cheap resources . They started Indian rail, planted tea gardens, developed hill stations and India has became a county( I guess) and integral part of Great Britain and Indians became immigrants in their very own country While British were developing infrastructure for the sake of rich and the powerful, we Indians were busy fighting against each other in the name of caste, creed and religion. Many castes were prohibited from entering the temples, denied formal education and women had no respect and rights  in the society. Child marriage, bonded labor  and satti were in practice. India was in dire need of personali
