A small little reality check! :)

It was in between when I had got tired of sitting in my ac room and browsing the internet that I got out of my room and happened to peep out of the window, where apparently there are vegetable vendors. I looked at a child, ya child because he looked like he was still in his teenage counting some money sitting on a mat where he had laid his vegetables. He sits there every day I have noticed from some 10am in the morning till I guess a ten in the night to earn whatever little he does throughout the day in the blazing UP sun to just earn a living when other children of his age may be cribbing about not having the latest phone, or may not having too many likes for some random post on facebook.. I mean because that’s what probably a rich persons teenager problems are now a days. And why blame them look at me how different was I myself I thought, thinking all day when will my result come, thinking weather I ll get the job I want, and what to watch on the TV !! I felt like a waste when I actually thought I hardly appreciate what I have around, I hardly utilize what I have been given. And this young boy even in any part of the day I hardly ever saw him upset, he’s always smiling, teasing other vendors, commenting on passer bys or in short happy in what he has around.

I guess we who have these basic life privileges of a good food, good education and good money should understand our responsibilities better that we carry for the under privileged, we should utilize our privileges well instead of cribbing, and wasting them if so we can do so much, for both staying happier ourselves and ya for doing something for those who may never get as many privileges as us!

Annoyed by children on board? This read is for you

A recent Instagram post by a well-known celebrity writer read “They should give away free birth control pills on all airlines as a public service.” I juggled for a long time to understand what it meant, but couldn’t until I saw the only hashtag the writer had used as a caption beneath, #annoyingchildrenonboard. This post came after almost a week of relaxing and luxurious holiday that he had in Thailand. As most of the posts by this writer are relatable, at times funny and witty, it took me a while to comprehend what he had written. How could he post such a thing ? I thought, and scrolled through the comments section. In the comments I saw outpouring negativity for little children and their parents inside airplanes. “It’s so irritating!” one comment read, “I wanted to sleep peacefully on my three-hour flight, but the child behind just couldn’t shut up. Why do people produce when they can’t teach their children basic etiquette!!!” “So relatable,” read another, “an annoying baby was cryin...

Ranveer Allahbadia is just the tip of the iceberg! #digitalworld

  In a recent incident, popular podcaster and YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia faced widespread criticism for making an inappropriate remark that was deemed unacceptable by many. Thank God for that, or else we are now a society where everything under the sun is rather normalised. I wouldn’t repeat the remark here, I can’t, it's out of my scope to write anything like that. Anyway, after that so-called remark on a show run by a popular comedian, Samay Raina was aired and shared, the internet was set on fire. I casually opened my Twitter on Sunday and was taken aback by the clip which was being circulated. It looked something like this: Some people, popular in the world of the internet sitting on a panel and roasting a contestant that stood in front of them. A highly vulgar remark was made by Ranveer, and the rest of the panel members along with the audience joined in laughter and applause. ‘Ah! Isn’t all this becoming rather common nowadays!’ was my first reaction, following which ...

The “Padmavat” controversy!

Right since the inception of the much talked about Bollywood movie “Padmavat” it has been blanketed and submerged in controversies! While some continued to believe that it is nothing but publicity, the others stood strongly against it. Unfortunately, the strongly against wasn’t limited to the vocal cords but it did hit and affect, and is continuing to affect the masses much beyond it! It did catch my attention when I read about some unusual things where the director’s head and the actresses nose was demanded, and I have been following and reading about the drama since then. Trust me the more I read it the more I got confused about the human race. In fact, after a recent appalling incidence, I was certain that there is a blend of the human heart with the devil's mind in some people which is resulting in activities as surprising as attacking the school kids. Here is what I tweeted on the day following that incidence. I am very certain that I will lose an argument if I sta...
