We the People

It has been a month since that day has passed. I have not forgotten what have happened on 22nd of July. They brag on India and say ‘It is the largest democracy in the world’. Democracy means ‘we the people’ in there words ‘aam admi’. So I ask all of those who sit in that building and decide the fate of more a billion people of this world. Do they really care and respect us and for the democracy. Well each time they find ways to prove it by some way or the other that they don’t really care for each and every one. We are those people who have given the responsibility of making our lives better and making our country what our ancestors have thought it to be like. We consider them to be more responsible, more knowledgeable, more experienced and more disciplined than rest of us. Therefore we give the responsibility of running our India to them. But they do care for or not is still big question. Caring for it means respecting there very dear ‘aam admi’.
The Parliament of India, the circular building which ‘runs the world largest democracy symbolises that India never stop and always moves ahead’ as they say. It is also one of those places where world stares at India. If these respected people whom we elect to move our country ahead show very ugly face of India in front of the Indian and international press. Then how simple and common men stop him from saying “today for the first time I am to be an Indian’. Do they now care for us we could only hope that in future? Shouldn’t they try to think what could future generation and the rest of the India learn from them? They say that the ‘youth is the building block of new India’. But they should know that they are destroying those building blocks. We consider them to be gentle men and women. But there behaviour in that building is not better than a student of nursery. Should we teach them how to behave in there workplace. To be quite when else someone else is speaking. I and million of young Indian don’t whether to trust them for our lives and our country. But I am not complaining about a single person, or a single group of people and for a particular day. But surely 22nd July was an eye opener for all the Indians. Even as they say ‘it was a black mark on Indian democracy’. Which may have been? But they realise that before representing there group, there people they are representing India. Today when Indian is rapidly becoming an economic power house, not only Indians but world’s eyes are also on there every move. So it should be there responsibility to inspire and represent India well on this stage given to them by ‘aam admi’. It is there duty to make every Indian say ‘I am proud to be an Indian’.
What have happened on 22nd July is something which most of the Indian are not going to forget very soon. I’m in search of answers.

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...

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 ...
