Does others Opinion matters..

Are you a confused person? Probably you are taking way too many opinion from everyone you meet. Too many opinions doesn’t let you come to a conclusion rather keeps you confused always. Ok now other way around you are not a confused person.. that's great you respect self opinion and you take only opinion from people who only matters for you.. So how to be selective about opinion. Read through to find out....
What is opinion: In general, opinion is a viewpoint or statement or judgment which is not conclusive and not necessarily based on fact or knowledge. Expert opinion is statement of advise given by experts on professional matters. Second opinion is verifying the advise given by an expert with another expert.
When to seek opinion: Imagine you were struck in a situation where you are not able to take a decision or when you don't have prior experience, only then seek for opinion . Suppose you have to  travel  from city X to city Y for the first time, which have many connecting routes, its advisable to take opinion from a person who had travelled from city X to city Y earlier which could help in selecting the best route which could reduce the travel time, risk involved and have a comfortable Journey.
To whom we shall ask opinion: Asking opinion from a stranger or less known person will not help, rather will complicate the situation. Relevance is more important, seek opinion from person who has been in similar situation and has successfully bailed himself out or ask opinion from close friends, relatives or colleagues who gives you sincere and helpful opinions.
Opinions from Social media: Social media has become in-evitable part of our lives which has it own advantage and disadvantages. Through social media one can easily find a person who has been in such situation earlier and get valuable opinions, but on the other hand social media attracts many to give random opinion, after all giving and receiving opinion is free. 
 
How many opinions one can seek: It is best to seek opinion from maximum of two including your opinion. If you are seeking expert opinion consult not more than two. You can take a second opinion but not third, fourth and fifth and on until... someone gives an opinion which reflects your opinion.
How about giving your opinion to others: Its easy to give opinion to others but we need to give opinion genuinely. If you have no idea about he/she is asking, don't give random opinions. Be genuine with your opinion. Your opinion will help the person come to a conclusion.

An artist made a painting of a beautiful angel and wanted it to be the best in the world and wanted it better than Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa painting( confused, seeks opinion). He asked for opinion from his peers who really appreciated the painting and promised him that this painting is going to rock the world(took many expert opinion). He wanted to know the opinion of common people. He displayed the painting in a busy market place(irrelevant opinions), asking for opinion and started correcting, within couple of hours the beautiful angel in his painting became an ugly witch. His plan of creating a master piece was shattered.

From the short story we know, how disastrous it could be, when you seek too many and irrelevant opinions. We clearly need to know when, how many and from whom to ask for opinion and one has to be conscious and true, when expressing his/her opinion. Correct, Relevant and Genuine opinions are always welcome.

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
