The only thing constant is Change

Waqt ke phool bhi sookhenge aur bikhar jaayenge....
Waqt ki hawaoon mein jaane kidhar jaayenge....
Jeevan ki tanhaiyon mein mehkenge vo pal
Jo aapke saath guzar jaayenge.....
Waqt ki aanch pe patthar bhi pighal jaate hain
Rah rah ke ashkon mein badal jaate hain....
Umar bhar kaun kise yaad rakhta hai
Waqt ke saath sab badal jaate hain....


Yes, Everything changes and I hate changes.It is difficult for us (atleast for me) to accept changes. Because I cannot accept the truth of transience. So, I suffer many times and then I pain people with my awful behaviour.

It is more than 4 years that I'm away from home. My friends are the closed ones now. But when their behaviours changed I got pained. I could not accept this change. And why so ? I think now I'm mature enough to accept this change or say the change within me. Nothing remains constant.....If it remains constant then it might stagnant. So, let it change for something better....:)


Rang De Basanti

I am so happy that Bollywood is finally making such kind of movies. I loved "Yuva", then "Apaharn". These movies show the bitter reality in the Indian Politics.

And Rang De Basanti has got all the flavours that today's generation can see, enjoy and appreciate. No...I'm not just talking about music, acting or comedy but I am talking about the plot. It has come up with one of the best plot. I am pretty bored with those romantic movies.

The flashback scenes of freedom struggle and the current situation of India are handled with great panache. I was actually able to feel their pain, struggle,anger and most important their devotion and courage. I salute those unforgettable freedom fighters who'd never thought for themselves before sacrificing their lives. We owe alot to them but are we actually paying that debt ?

Most of us don't even think about it. An iitian thinks of getting a pseud job or apping in some american university and then never even thinks that he/she should come back to his country.
I know my seniors who are settled in abroad and earning great bucks there and not even thinking of returning. And today I saw that glimpse of our future attitude when my whole batch was coming back from that movie....I was just listening to their conversation and I could only pity on the Indian girls and their mentality. The topic of whole converstation was which guy looks hot, whose acting is pseud and nothing more !!! Nothing more !!! We are studying in one of the best institute of India and we are supposed to have a high intellectual and this kind of movie doesn't stir anything within these people !!!!??? Are they so insensitive ??? Or they just don't want to think about these problems as 50% of them will move to some world class university in the coming months and then will never even bother to think about these matters.Then why should they waste their time now ?? Let's enjoy , right ?

I'm not saying that everyone should enter into Politics or become an "honest" IAS/IPS office or start killing those corrupt minishters but I just feel that every Indian (atleast every educated Indian) should have this much sensitivity, this much proud and love for their country. If you can not love your own motherland then you don't even understand love and responsibility. If every Indian, no matter what his/her profession is, thinks first about India and just does his/her job properly then India will never need to look for anyone else's help.

The only things needed are the dedication and little bit of courage and nothing more.....! Let;s have confidence in ourselves, in our heritage, in our country. If we can't do much about this country then atleast we can do something ....atleast we can love this country....atleast we can propagate a good feeling among us.
