Money,Money Everywhere.....

The heading suggests a lot about what is to follow. Yet , there needs a lot of elaboration to this topic that's here. Money...lovely word isn't it? One can almost smell those fresh,crunch notes coming from an ATM. Aah!! A smell that can cure you of almost all your worries. its an addictive word & thing as well. Why money? because there's only money. Nothing else seems to matter. So powerful yet so dead. Money keeps an economy, house & also people alive &in a working condition. Yet its just money. It can be claimed by anyone,almost the undeserving ones as well. It'll never react to anyone. It'll never question your ethics, conscience or make you guilty by asking unwanted questions. It'll be there just waiting forever. You can keep it where-ever you want,which-ever form you want, with whom-so-ever you want. It feels comfortable in a fixed deposit, current deposit or savings or gold; at the bottom of cereal boxes, some secret places,lockers, old clothes, purses etc. hundreds of imaginable and unimaginable places that are,we can store money. Its not of anyone's curiosity except of thieves & the income-tax department, what you do with your money & where you keep it.
What can be said about something, that's so common, yet so wanted and loved? Yes loved!! Its not romantic, but an exclusive category of love which can't be exactly named. Money-lovers are everywhere. Who have money want some more & those who don't ,need a handful. A simple question asked around a survey about money really made the people pause ,take time & react on the question. The question was as simple as," what is money?" Very few could put it in a properly framed sentence without any hiccoughs to the ideas of their definition of money. Most of the failed. Isn't it funny? How this one thing which drives almost the most significant and insignificant detail in everyone's life has no definition in our own terms??!! We are so used, accustomed to its existence, that we hardly wait or pause and think what is money? Well you may not make up some brilliant definition which will go down in the history and become universal, but yes you may definitely come up with something interesting for yourself if you scratch your noggin's!!
For me money is a life saver in difficult situation,outcome of my family's hard-work, medium of exchange, a source of appreciation on happy occasions and a friend in need yet a villain when it shakes up all your surroundings by dominating you ,suffocating you with its presence when unwanted...
Yes, money unwanted...!! Why on the earth would money be unwanted? Money being unwanted is like you stop breathing...well almost!! But given and accepted what money does,have we ever glanced up and seen that the real things in life were sufficient and much happier without money..!!
When a baby is born it hardly knows who are its parents? What family is it born into? what's the bank account balance?What luxury cars do they have? Nothing...it just reciprocates the touch of love, care & warmth it gets with equal amount of it to all. A stray dog wandering about ,give him a piece of bread,he will remember it always..! The biggest happiness on the earth cannot be bought by money. These are beyond the commercial equations of money. The first touch of your child when born, the secured feeling you get around your loved ones, the joy in the eyes of your parents on your achievement, the getting wet in the first showers, helping an old person out, playing around with kids, dancing off to the tunes of your favorite songs without worrying that some one is watching you, a night walk with your partner, a sleep in your mom's lap, resting head on your dad's shoulder and forgetting all the worries, giggling around with your friends and many more....Money cannot buy a family its whole new ,well-behaved generation, nor its happiness & achievements, nor does money give you shoulder to rest your head on. Its just what man created for his convenience. We created something so not special yet so hard to get, yet so mortal. But God's creations are all free of cost, yet eternal & immortal.
We have forgotten that we have created money & not the other way around. We have allowed money to penetrate so deep into our hearts, emotions, relations that it has taken to control us & now rules unquestioned. Money can create, can destroy, can make people run in their sleep, can change people. Money can do anything for us. It is this power of money that we lust for. No-one is an exception. At some point or other in our lives we have always wanted to be the richest in the world. It is this addiction to money that we don't realize that our happiness and its quality of it are shrinking at a faster rate. We don't realize that the money which can create; can destroy as well. As a matter of fact it has destroyed. When we get a easy way to earn money we opt for it ,hardly realizing what we are signing up for..!! Money has now been a rift-creator in families, generations have been estranged to each other just because of money.
We take a look at the judicial prospective of money we'll find that some where or the other money is the culprit. It has created monsters around us. Money has made friends deceive each-others trust, put love on stake,kill parents, kidnap kids ,molest women & of all end up in nothing but jail.
It is time we realize that money is like ego. Its a double ended knife. Its the sense that we as human beings need to inculcate into the money run system of ours that there may be a day when money may be over, but life will continue. Yes money can buy you a house, but its the people who make it home. It can get you expensive clothes but not respect. It can get the best possible food but not health.
Money is necessary, but not so much that everything runs on it. Its just that we make a point of understanding that should you die rich of money or rich of life??!! The choice is yours to make & live with it..!! Choose cautiously, because whatever you choose money or life, you will die..you'll perish off with time passing by &will be forgotten. Life has a better & stronger chance to be remembered than money. 
Yet we live with it &continue our monetary lives as they were, pondering on this thought for a while not knowing what to do..!! The obvious need be answered, it should just be done &you'll know.... 
Have a life....!! Which one..??!! Choice is yours...!!!

India 2014 -elections,prime minister and more....!!!

The young voters dilemma has been at a high these days. The elections are here,and as asked by everyone the voters are expected to exercise their right to vote and choose a representative. But as simple as it sounds,its an extremely difficult task. For today's India is known by its dominating youth population who are going to exercise their very 1st voting right. If you ask them what sort of representative would they prefer its not for everyone to know what an ideal leader will be,hence they choose to go by the flow. The flow assures a better administrative control on the weak links of the nation. But the current flow too assures to change the governing techniques and help the nation. As such a new flow too wants to join the mainstream and take part in changing a nation of billions. But the real problem is that all the'flows' seem to be very promising yet there's a chance of huge disappointment that lies ahead.
Now let's see the situation of the voters of this largest democracy in the world. They do know what they want but are not sure who will do it. There's a lot to expect from the politicians or the ruling party who also happen to be as human as the voters. The fact that they are no less human brings us to a question, "Are we expecting too much from them? Is it possible to achieve that dream India that is right down from the dreams of our freedom fighters??". But then another question that strikes is " if it could happen 67 yrs back,with so  less developed facilities why not now?".
No,the expectations of the voters from their representatives are correct and acceptable on all grounds. Its understandable that with a population of billions its not easy to reach and know the problem of every person. But the problems are the same in some or the other way. All the people expect that the governance should be ethical,clean and respectable on all levels of hirarchey of the government.
We are ready to take up the responsibility to elect the correct people. Today's voters situation is similar  to king Dhritrashtra who could now get over wrong and right. But the right does not seem to exsist any more today. We are about to make a choice in the better and acceptable wrong & afterall expect to have an India free of corruption, female-foeticide,red -tapisim,illiteracy,caste,creed barriers....and emerge as a strong and undefeateble nation...as the nation of the people,by the people, for the people...!!!

JAI HIND...!!

Love,Life,Etc....!!!

Love , relationships,partners,dates...!! A silver outline to anybody's life. Basically, all these are important because love and relations comes to us as we live our life. They are not associated with us ever since our birth. God gift's the 'love', most important constituent for almost all of us..!!
Well,love is an universal concept. People have made their own assumptions, traditions and cultures about it and around it. Everyone who fell in love in past, have penned down this wonderful feeling in words...not all but a handful...!! And so love got its boundaries. Already set and decided. 
Love is what brings life to a new existence. Love is what keeps going the human forces against all odds. Love is what keeps two completely different people together. Its a necessity to life;for its nourishment,  & enrichment. 
Partners complete the missing part of one's life. They say 'no-one is perfect'; so when two imperfect people come together they complete life-circles..!! Yet, sometimes things don't work out inspite of the presence of love. Why? Is it not meant to be? Then why were they together for even that particular time that they were? Destiny you say....!! maybe...
On the other hand there lies a question in front of me," can you really tell what goes on in two people? can you tell what their love is all about? ."  The answer is certainly "no". Its not possible to understand a relation from a third angle. But certainly one thing can be said, relations don't work all by themselves. They have to be worked on and worked out..!!
Basically,love relationships, dating, etc.. have a very fairy tale base!! A prince charming on a white horse comes and steals his dream girl, the most beautiful of all and they live their life in sort of pink, red & white color....!!
Let's now cut-in with the harsh reality. People can be romantic but just being romantic is not enough. When love fills up life it feels as though every moment has ceased, but in reality life moves on. If you can cope up with it its well and good or else you can be framed as an emotional fool.
Emotions are in it self the most complicated and delicate things. But love complicates emotions far beyond imagination! So if you are thinking that i'm against the idea of falling in love ,its not true! All i'm saying that just love should not be a part of your life. There is more to life than just falling in love and living happily ever- after.
Today we see teenagers are committed (or they say so) because being in a relation is a status symbol. Love and relations are not symbolic. They are historic...!! Love will come to you when it is time. If you had to force it why would they call it 'falling in love?.' 
Nothing complicates life as love does and nothing simplifies life like love....! Choose your way and live it..! love it or not?!! Just give love a chance and see the magic it spreads..!! it'll make its own way to your life and give a meaning far beyond defining..!! so "let's fall in love...??!!!!!"
