I have been off politics and anything to do with it for a while .Simple because I can afford a shoe right now and maybe afford to even throw it (things look like a luxury only till you can’t afford them) .But still there are a few posts which draw you to read on(very very few bloggers have that ability) and so this post. The reason for me not eating anything political is because I have had too much of masala – by nature my teeth are sweet(no they are not made of candy or gold :P){and get it I am making fun of things [people now days!]} so just don’t want to trouble my senses.
As I mentioned there are a few who just draw you into reading and this particular post is a very good read especially for a fellow who loves history ( how much do I love it? Enough to ask doubts in a history class) .
Here is the post – Pseudo Secularism and Congress. And this was my comment to it:-
I do not know. Simple right? But what you and me say doesn’t matter…you see kids are thought to say all Indians are my brothers and sisters…then where does it go wrong? It doesn’t matter who are the people we keep pointing fingers at ,for they will keep coming . By doing that we are not identifying Mr.Satan himself but only lending a face to him and once we burn/he burns us at a stake,we just go back to where ever for a while, nodding our heads as if its all done . I have repeated it over and over , the biggest mistake in this country is that the people with quality have now been discriminated and the country handed over to people ___________ .
And the old bus thing too . You and me write just to appease ourselves . No more and no less. Why don’t people like you or me take to being the Hero? is that we can’t ? No, we know the way people behave. I was sent out of class today ,when I hadn’t done anything wrong .The fellow in question was just yappin yappin without give us time to think , I stopped tried to think and then when I missed what he was saying looked into my neighbour’s book and he sent us out. But thats the gist of what is happening , if you try to think , they send you out.We have to learn and go on…for it is about us and not them…
Of course to a few , my comment may seem from another world and not looking at the reality . All I can say is , I haven’t seen that reality and so I cannot talk about that . The place where I live is relatively peaceful for the people here have better things to do ( Or at least I hope so) . To actually think of people killing each other in the name of religion , I can’t . But I have seen instances where it is the audacity of a few people which leads to some tension building up . One thing I hope I always would remember would be that
arrogant are those who are ignorant
Tenacious are those who are diligent .
Anyway I don’t think I will be posting about politics as such , even though it seems to be everywhere. I personally think that there isn’t much use talking too much, we need to get into doing . Someone ,pointed out to me that changes are always happening . True. While we cannot change things but are mere catalysts , we need to remember to play our part properly . By looking at each other , no one is going to take the onus .
The “bus thing” which I mentioned above is this :-
The country is a bus and a person whom we all feel is not a good driver is driving . We have two options one to get out of the bus or take over the wheels . So in a way I have decided to get out of the bus for a while , so I am going to shut up and not talk about it . Without full information we cannot judge what is happening . We are but seeing those things which a few people want us to see and hear what a few people want us to hear . We need to dig deep and try to evaluate after we know enough .
To sum it up , religion was started for something and now is being used for something else . Personally I take God to be a metaphor(read this poem – a metaphor called God and this one too – God ) so I cannot understand why people should fight so much . We are on Earth to live and not survive .Using that thing up there , we have created a world for ourselves ,why instead of enjoying do we bicker and try to make it all worse for each other?
Thanks for the mention Vishesh and that too so sweetly 🙂
LOL@(how much do I love it? Enough to ask doubts in a history class) .
okay granted! By a History teacher!certified History lover! 😀
yup totally got your ‘bus’ example ..
Without full information we cannot judge what is happening
Exactly!!
The snap judgements irk me like nothing else does..
amazed to see so much of coherence in your thoughts and yet your poems always do give a hint of all thats churning in your mind 🙂
We are on Earth to live and not survive .Using that thing up there , we have created a world for ourselves ,why instead of enjoying do we bicker and try to make it all worse for each other?
why indeed? 😦
One simply wonders at the madness of it all 😦
the arrogant and diligent one is apt too…
Do keep sharing Vishesh even if time is at a premium.. 🙂
here’s to more such thinking 🙂
Read your God is a metaphor post. Twice. Loved it.

Such a simple question… and within it lie answers to so much unhappiness.
@indyeah: so you are a history teacher ? 😀 I do wish we can find the solution to the madness…
@IHM: Hope we can find the answer one day 🙂
God is a fuzzy concept man and people take it too seriously !
Like what chirag says here 🙂
I also dont get whats the fuzz about god!
