F.R.I.E.N.D.S - can’t we be……….

“At the stroke of the midnight hour when the world sleeps India will wake into a new life and freedom”. These were the words which started a new era in world history. It created our very own great nation India and two similarly great nations on world’s map. (Well I am not going to give any history or geography lessons. So go ahead and read on. It is important coz it is the title of my blog. And my first blog is a bit related to it). But world never knew about those pieces which were remnants of millions of the shattered hearts of people residing in these broken countries. The broken heart which people carried with them made forget the definition of friends and friendship. But now the time have changed. We can’t live as our grand dad and dads have lived. With our young heart, passion and energy to do something new, can’t we remember what friendship is? Will we also foolishly maintain the same legacy of hate and distrust with our neighbours? But somewhere around a voice comes to me and says “No. the times are changing”.
Yes it is about Indo-Pak relations. Can’t we change? Can’t we bring down the invisible wall separating us? Can’t we start a new era?
Well you must be thinking why a 17 year old boy is talking about such a topic leaving what is of general interest, like cars, bikes, girls and my favourite aircrafts etc. and even on the eve of independence day why I not giving a good patriotic lecture on India (which mostly have to be anti-Pak, to be complete). Well there are two reasons for it.
First, few weeks ago I suffered from viral fever. But how viral fever is related to friends? Well before going to the sickbed. I was behaving very rudely with them. I have just taken them for granted. So the result was no one called me up when I was lying on the bed and waiting for there phone. I felt so lonely in those days only my family (papa, mummy, rima) helped me. I did correct my mistakes. Now I am happy again with my friends and family. They are my real friends so they did accept my sorry. I don’t think I was India or Pakistan which stated the rift. But it the mistake of both sides equally. After all “Ek hath se talli nahin bajti”. We can’t clap with one hand. Second reason is, I think I am a modern Indian and I don’t like giving lecture by manipulating facts and not sticking to own words in real life. But I do love my country and my roots. And I am very proud to be an Indian. But loving my country doesn’t means hitting another. We are Indian and we are always taught by our ancestors to live peacefully with others. So why should we fight with our neighbours. They are just like us (Sometimes I can’t differentiate in photograph on web who Pakistani and who is Indian. They watch our movies. We love to listen to there singers. On both side we bite nails, when our cricket teams are on the ground together. Even they are premiering there films in our country. Probably in friendship they are taking the lead but why we are lagging behind. We got to win this match. So those who want to win this match log on to following websites, http://www.indo-pak.org/ or http://www.friendswithoutboders.org/. Well I don’t to losers. But making friends in neighbour countries won’t do. Your friendship should be strong whether your friend is from same country or live next door. You should not make any friends for any selfish reasons but he/she should be whom you love, respect, share not only good time but also blues. Never take them for granted. Try to make bit distance between you and your friend. As you can’t eat every thing sweet a pinch of salt is needed to make every thing taste full. Well these are a bit old principles of friendship but they are working well and good today too. If you are going to maintain this then your life is surely gonna be filled with happiness and friends.
So bye now hope I will come back soon. But I will be looking for your comments. Whether good or bad after all I want to make you my friend.
Abhishek

Climate Criminals

There was a seminar on Climate Change and Global Warming in the women' college. And most of the speakers lambasted repeatedly the United States of America for all the climate crises which the world is facing today. Thought there is not an iota of doubt in this fact USA is the biggest polluter on the planet today. But the exaggeration by them is simply the by product of the left (mis)rule which have created anti America but they them selves have done nothing less than what the Americans have done. Cos if they were so responsible to the environment then they could not have created a ministry of environment for sleep only purpose. If it were not the hard efforts and iron will of environmentalists under Subhas Dutta. The smoke spewing 2 stokes could still have been there on the roads of Kolkata to pollute. And we have seen that how reluctant the government was in this case. And the most recent one was the exclusion of Environmental Education marks from the class 12th score when going ...

Blink: Malcolm Gladwell

The author describes the main subject of his book as "thin-slicing": our ability to gauge what is really important from a very narrow period of experience. In other words, spontaneous decisions are often as good as—or even better than—carefully planned and considered ones. Gladwell draws on examples from science, advertising, sales, medicine, and popular music to reinforce his ideas. Gladwell also uses many examples of regular people's experiences with "thin-slicing." Gladwell explains how an expert's ability to "thin slice" can be corrupted by their likes and dislikes, prejudices and stereotypes (even unconscious ones), and how they can be overloaded by too much information. Gladwell also tells us about our instinctive ability to mind read, which is how we can get to know what emotions a person is feeling just by looking at his or her face. We do that by "thin-slicing," using limited information to come to our conclusion. In what Gladwel...

Food Force

Food it is the most important commodity in our life even today when we are living in 21st century. 16 Oct that’s today is the World Food day. Ironically this year world faced one of the worst global food crises. World food reserve went down to there lowest point in 25 years. Food prices soared. This triggered inflation in several countries from Egypt to China. Even riots in Mexico and many West African governments fell when they became unable to give foods to there people. UN even predicted that this could result in rise of terrorism and crime. But still we made through it at least sitting here in India, I feel that. But still when papa says that food prices in the market are touching the sky. I feel there are still a lot of people who are out there not getting the proper amount of food they should get. Different people from different parts of the world cited different reason for this crisis. Some said it is the over consumption of developed world and under consumption of developing wo...
