My Wish

I Guess this is my first post, with only positiveness and clarity of thought, leaving the satirical isms factor aside. I do have a simple, special, significant, splendid and passionate Wish in my Life that can get fulfilled only once and at one particular time. My Wish may not be a unique one . My Wish is not related to Success and Failure.My Wish has nothing to do with Career and Job. I am glad that My Wish is absolute and original . My Wish makes me to feel like a bird flying with joy and freedom. My Wish keeps pops out of my heart frequently whenever the favorite , sweet, cute, heart-touching process of my listening sense swims and gradually percolates deep into the ocean of Music and thereby relieving me from the shackles and bonds of the current rat-race obsessed Society.

The recent repetition of the above process has been ignited by the song "Neevani Nenani Veruga Lemani .....",rendered marvellously by "Shwetha Pandit", from the movie 'kotha bangaru lokam', has catalysed me to pen some streaming feelings regarding my Wish . This soulful ditty with scrummy flair is by far the best melody i have heard this year.Be it the soothing instrumentation or the captivating chorus or the dulcet lyrics and above all the delightfully enticing vocals of Shwetha Pandit

Anyways i have been in the phenomenon of drenching myself by the musical rain of this song(i listened to it umpteenth number of times continuously) since 2 weeks.I am still listening to this song while i am writing this post here.I am not yet tired from swapping the FM radio stations in search of this song. This song has perforated such a long lasting impression on me and my wish that i made my mind to embrace my wish with more grace and elegance.Now i would like to invoke the concept of God to reveal my much hyped wish.

" God! let me die to the assuasive and delicious trance of MUSIC, forever.!!!"

Hey Ram!!!

Hey Ram!!!

Please tell us whether you had really constructed the Ram sethu or not?

Please tell us whether you really did B.Tech(Civil) or not?

Please tell us whether you were born at Ayodhya or not?

Please do answer us before the sick, crazy, crooked media and the rumour hungry society poses you one more embarrassing and mortifying question

"Did Rama Know Archery???"

Now take a break Ram , we have got one more person on whom we can through as much mud as we like.

I am raking these outdated queries of the past because we are so madly obsessed and passionately interested in the Controversies surrounding the famous persons that we hardly care for the Positiveness and Relevance in an Entity. At last, India is a Democratic country and we have the Right to Express(We hardly care for Fundamental Duties).

We would like to introduce you a person whose surname still makes Prime Ministers of our country. We are greatly interested to know what was the relation between those two girls(Abha and Manu) and Him, on whom He use to depend for support during the final days of His Life, rather than to know what support His Life has given to India and the World...... We are desperate to know who is great among Bhagath Singh and Him rather than to know the fact that Bhagath Singh and his group had followed the path of non-violence through Satyagaraha during their last days in prison , before they were hanged(Jatin Das had died during this satyahraha in prison)............ We have acute appetite to diffuse the ideological differences between Subhash Chandra Bose and Him rather than to know the ethical values of Netaji who named one of his 3 battalions on His name..........We are more eager to blame Him for the Partition of India rather than to know the historical attempt He could have made in Feb 1948 at Karachi to unite the two countries if He was not brutally murdered by a Hindu fanatic God'Say'(Who want to remember His Death anniversary any-ways)........

Among the tributes to Him upon his death were these words by the great physicist, Albert Einstein:

“Generations to come will scarce believe that such a one as this walked the earth in flesh and blood.”

Wow! well said Mr Einstein. But we don't need generations,we have been disbelieving Him and His path since decades.

So what if Netaji had revered Him as Bapuji.So what if Tagore had respected Him as Mahatma.We dont want to take inspiration from an half-naked old man who used just a lathi to fight against the mighty British Empire. We need Revolutionaries who can take instant deaths with modern pistols. We don't want Him who fought against a dominant system on behalf of a suppressed system . We want leaders who can kill persons rather than the system.

The basic problem is that we hardly know the detailed events of His Life. We don't know what made Him to do the mistake of Committing to Independence. We should make a magnified search on His Life so that more minute experiments and open mistakes done by Him can be blown out of proportion through which can satisfy our arm-chair criticism syndrome. We even heard that. He has done certain experiments with Truth and Non-violence(Is it??).

How come we are blaming someone without knowing what exactly He is ??

We need more reasons to blame Him but we hardly have the source for it. We have a solution for this. We will do a prejudiced, biased and partial study on his self-proclaimed autobiography titled "My Experiments with Truth"(price:30 rupees). It sounds very costly, almost a cool-drink cost in a movie interval. No problem. We can gather a fund of rupees 30 easily standing at any junction(In India we can do anything on His name)

By the way, we didn't tell His name right? His name is mmmm....wt was that....Rajiv, Rahul(sorry ,i donnow priyanka's son name). Hmm.....anyways leave it.

Hey! Who is that guy among us murmuring something about Lal Bahadur Shastri. Common dude, we should not remember someone who is out of Nehru-Gandhi family, though he might be a person with sincerity, dedication,humbleness, honesty, modesty and highly ethical....Shastri is 100% fair and clean in character.There is 0% chances of throwing mud on Shastri .

Yeah, coming to our topic, before signing off we would like to tell you one more interesting thing about His Death. There is still a controversy regarding the words He had uttered before He died. Some people say He had said nothing(may be with an opinion that He did nothing....).Some people say that He was being collapsed, by the thrust of violence, on the heart of his Motherland, with a peaceful and yet significant sigh.......... " Hey Ram!!!"

Forced Careers???

What will you become when you grow up? I think this is absolutely a Universal Question from which no one in this world can escape being posed, irrespective of Religion, Region, Race, Color, Caste, Cultures, Nation, Status and Sex. Now I think all of u went back into ur platinum days of childhood which had pure, innocent, uncorrupted, unpolluted instinctual minds and brains (Have you ever wondered what is the difference between mind and brain?). And I hope u have remembered the “Answers” too. How many of us hadn’t dreamt of becoming a Sachin Tendulkar??..........That’s the beauty of childhood……….Gradually the stage comes where we strongly feel instinctual passion for certain domain and area in which we believe that we can free our energies to attain the stage of self-actualization which has nothing to do with Success and Failure concepts.It may be painting, singing, dancing, playing, writing, reading, exploring,photography, questioning, repairing, driving, gardening, cleaning, thinking, learning, traveling, acting, designing, constructing, coding, service, yoga and more verbs. But most of us don’t become what we exactly want because of societal obligations and family responsibilities.

All we do is mugging up ready made answers to win the rat race of marks scoring. We hardly learn how to Question. We hardly write our own answers. Our educational system is so sick that except making us ready to work us in corporate environment which is robbing our country openly in the name of SEZs, it has nothing to offer regarding moral, civic and social education. Politicians have nothing to do with this because this is the problem of societal mindset. Our destination is US. Our concern is US Market stability and durability. Our heart beats for for US dollar’s strength. How come we can expect a student will take H.E.C group after his tenth standard if society is expecting him to be in US? I think we should pass a law making it compulsory for every student to under go a software course at Ameerpet after his academic completion. Again I have some questions for us. Do we eat an ice-cream of someone’s favorite flavour? Do we watch movie just because someone else wants to? Do we watch cricket because most of us are watching? Do we buy clothes just because shopwaala has suggested? Do u like Rahman just because I admire him? Do we like a colour just because someone else declares it as his best colour? Do we eat biryani because it is our friend’s best dish? Do u read this blog because someone else is reading? ..... I think you don’t…….We are not slaves to others wishes.… We are the Masters of our wishes, our passions, our thoughts, our goals, our decisions.
Then why do we choose careers which are meant for someone’s passions and goals???
We pursue them just because they are lucrative, popular and affluent and of course its not a career for us, it’s a job for us (there is a difference between job an career). Yes, we do have a certain set of standard reasons (Parents, Society and Friends) for choosing so. I don’t understand why should we spend our life (Don’t spend life, live life…) in trying to achieve others goals in the guise of material accumulation. Have you ever wondered how much job satisfaction do we get from our current jobs n virtual/pseudo careers? How many Sundays we have to sleep with the feeling of running away from Mondays? How many Mondays we have to go to office with only hope of next Friday evening? I think soon we will feel this philosophy, "I code and therefore i exist".


I feel that we have always walked an extra mile just to get things done until we discover that we are miles away from everything in Life. Until then the wheels of mechanical life keep rotating to convert us into proverbial Goats. We should not live life like satellites; just revolving around others aims n goals. We are stars in our own way. We don’t want to be anybody but somebody we always wanted to be.

Everyone encourages us to grow up to the point where we can discount our own bad moods. Few encourage us to continue to the point where we can discount society’s bad moods. How can we see the wave, when we are the water?

Hoping for the time to come to free ourselves from “Forced Careers”…..!

Taare Zameen Par

Perhaps, this is the most delayed topic i had ever wanted to write about. May be because of my Perception that no one else in this world can get what exactly i perceived in this movie. May be because this is the BEST TOP MOST RATED(10/10) movie till now in my life. May be because of the Reasons which i don't want to disclose , with a doubt that others may not get my reasons in a way they exactly are, rather than in a way they want my reasons to be. Anyways, i had watched this movie in Jagadamba theatre of vizag with a friend .Right from the start to till the end, Amir Khan has proved why he is called as a thinking and intelligent film maker. And who can forget that smart and cute kid who was apt for the role of Ishanth........Now as usual, You may say, ''Mahesh, Chill !!!...... we already know this and had read about this movie and actors umpteenth number of times through different sources ". You may even ask me, "Mahesh, Whats the fuss all about your much hyped words like 'Perception', 'Reasons' , blah blah blah..........". Yeah, you are right again.
But what makes me so much attached and moving in this movie may clear your logic. When the movie finished i went to beach in vizag with burdened feelings and emotions which were first of their kind in my life till that moment.Sipping my favourite coffee and embracing the beauty and serenity of sea waves which signalled their eagerness to share my feelings, i went into a deep, rationalistic and intensified pensive mood which ignited my thought process to a simple , yet significant, Question ...............

"What if the boy never met Aamir khan in his life "???

..........This lead to some more subordinate questions like 1. What might this so called self-proclaimed perfect society label him for his inability to score marks and ranks?? 2. Which forced career he might be following to compete in the present direction-less rat race ?? 3. How much creativity might have vanished in his imaginations in the process of accumulation of goods of Consumerism and Materialism 4.How much pain and anguish he might have digested to satisfy the societal expectations and peer pressure. 5. How much courage he might be lacking to face the bias and prejudice by his Parents and Friends?? ........... And many similar consequential questions had evolved in my mind leading to another set of Questions...........1. How many people around us in our daily life are facing similar problems?? 2. How many of such people are in desperate search of Aamir khans to empathise with them?? 3. How many people are being humiliated and embarrassed by our technical and affluent superiority complex?? ............. Though i have many questions in my mind, finally i feel one thing .

"Sometimes there are only good Questions, no good answers".

Hmmm............
Care, Support, Rapport, Understanding, Humbleness, Compatibility, Empathy, Concern, Modesty, Perception etc etc...........Though everyone knows these words and their impact, we hardly use them for others because we are either egoistic or egotistic, rather we expect others to follow these words for us.

"Tujhe sab kuch patha hai na Maa.......meri Maa"

Independencism.....

On August 15 2008, Friday, one more nationalistic ritual called "Independence Day" was being performed (not celebrated) . By the evening we got to see our National Flag in gutters, on roads , in dustbins and at every place where it should not be. We paid respects to our National Flag by watching movies and TV stuff, get-togethers, blah blah blah...... Thank God, its not Sunday or Saturday, else we could have lost one more Holiday. And who the hell want to know what's the essence of it because many of us still don't know the difference between Independence Day and Republic Day. U may say, "Common Mahesh! take easy....... both give Holidays". You are right. Why the hell to bother who is bombing where and why??. Why the hell to bother who hoisted which nation's flag ??(Yes, Pakistan flag has been hoisted in Srinagar on August 15 2008 ). Why the hell to bother when did Hyderabad got Independence?? Why the hell to bother why India has the highest number of Farmer Suicides ?? . Why the hell to bother why Inflation is rising?? Anyways , we have plenty of Politicians to blame for, as we are busy in working for US Outsourced Business to run their economy round the clock. We only bother whenever the rupee value increases against US dollar. Its ironical that being Indians we pray for rupee value decrement .

But someone really bothered about this day . I saw them at traffic signals , knocking the car windows in heavy rain , selling paper flags to fill their stomach. Poverty or Patriotism??...... I saw small kids selling paper flags to the children of so called elite people near schools .Child Labour or Survival??...... I saw them in cafes and fast food joints cleaning the tables and cups but still wearing the pride flag on their shirt pocket. Employment or Struggle??.......... I saw them at midnight cleaning the roads with flagged garments and cleaning the sewerage filled manholes in broad daylight . Compulsion or Determination??......... I saw them asking for monetary help near bus stops. Farmers or Beggars??............. It doesn't matter for them on which week day it comes ,but for them it should come as many times as it can in a year. They may not know Jana Gana Mana, may not know who designed our National Flag, may not recognise Indian map even, but, friends they are working for India. They need Strong rupee value against dollar so that that they can have 2 meals a day, 2 pairs of clothes to exchange . Who is responsible for their misery???............... On August 15, 1947 British left us giving Independence and then we took a great oath by saying, "Its now our turn to loot our own country and people" , and we named it "Independence Day". Earlier we were a colony of British and now of USA. Earlier English ruled us, now India is running on English(including my blog). Where is the independence???.....................By the way , have you ever imagined what Gandhi was doing on that day(August 15, 1947 ). He had neither hoisted the tricolour nor gave pompous speeches , he was in Kolkatta serving the victims of communal riots.

Now, you may ask, " Mahesh, what the hell are you doing then??....Writing Blogs?? ". Yeah , you are right. I did nothing. But I have thoughts and Ideas , just like you, and i am starting in that direction soon.

Will you join me ???
