With the rising incidents in schools with time, whom do you think is actually responsible!

Of the many frequent News which I keep reading about some or other mishappenings in schools, the one today was from my own native city, Lucknow. For the ones who do not know about it; it said that in one of the schools in the city an incident was reported where a 6th standard girl, stabbed another girl from the 1st standard who thankfully survived but with multiple injuries. The discussions which I heard and read on the radio, on the social media etc were all about, whom do you think is actually responsible for such incidents? People did talk about the need for understanding a child’s psychology, parenting, to an extent about the school’s and so on and so forth! Though In my own opinion the cause of any such and every such incident is “ALL of us”, you, me and everyone else!
And why so? Let’s try taking it in a simple way; we have come a very long way in a very short time. The 1998 and 2018 has a difference of just 20 years, but we have covered a vast distance! From waiting for phone calls then, we get impatient for people to even receive our calls now;  from striving hard to get an answer then, we are happy to Google and learn it the halfway and easy way now; from shying a little, inhibiting ourselves a little and thinking a little before we did and said anything then, we come across as bold and loud, carefree and without any inhibitions now! Very obviously more than the technologically advanced I would rather say, that we are living in a world where we firmly believe that everything is possible, and where we can neither hear nor accept a NO for anything!
“Rejected me for job, how? I will prove them wrong”; “You think I have a bad voice, look out for how many social media likes I will get!”
We know that there is a way out for everything and we all are in a blind rat race to prove ourselves, and No we just can’t live with any inhibitions this is the 21st century! We can wear what we want to, we can say what we want to, and we can troll and comment and reach out to the most famous people in this world as well!
Proud of living in a world like this? Then know my dear reader that the extreme of living without any inhibitions is abusing whom you want to, torturing whom you want to and stabbing whom you want to! Why are you so surprised at the incidents that you read about in the newspapers my reader when this is the world that you have created for yourself!

If living without inhibitions is what you accept, then you have no right to comment about the inhibition on the right and the wrong things. It’s either knowing that you have to learn to hold yourself back in certain things, accept the criticism and know that you can also be wrong or going ahead in shameless way! There is no midway in the type of scenario where we are living in. The news which you read every day is not about someone's child, some school, some management or some culture it’s a reflection of your own self!
Remember even the best of cars come with gears, we certainly have to go a little back in time, I think we have come way too ahead!

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...
