The Collective

Sounds like a fun thing to do. And many of us would even do it, IF (a big one at it) someone has already done it. Ready to follow, but never ready to take the lead. I admit it, I am one of you, waiting for something to happen. Rather thinking of doing something, than doing anything at all.If you are wondering why did I turn out to be conscious about the society, weird as it may seem, it is because of Rang De Basanti. This is what happened while returning home after watching RDB. Knowing better than what I was saying, I still asked my friend "Do you think the movie might have inspired anyone?" and his answer was something that I already knew, but still made me think about other stuff related to that. He said "Repu snanam chesentha varaku untundi ra, snanam chesinappudu aa muriki tho patu ee feeling kooda neellatho kalisi drainage lo kalisi pothundi.!" (for those who dont know telugu, he said "Till they take bath tomorrow. and when they do take a bath, goes down...

Sashank said... It’s about time you had everyone focus entirely on you. You are the center of attraction. Life is you. People can only dream to be like you. You get everything you want. Life is controlled by you. Your whims and fancies are fulfilled instantly. What you want, you get it without having to do anything for it. Imagine this way, you are a magician, what you dream of, you get it. “I wanna be the most handsome person in this world”…tada..you are. You wanna marry the most beautiful, most witty girl…boom..its done. You wanna hog the limelight…done. You can also get something which has never existed, what people have never seen. Imagine it…you get it. Maybe you would call that a perfect life. To me there’s no satisfaction in getting things done unless I have worked for it. I don’t have to be born rich, cos I will work my way to be rich. I don’t have to be popular from birth; I will be one day be with what I do. I wanna achieve it with my hard work, my diligence, my...

Human Thought -- One of the few things in this world that has never been under anybody's control , except ofcourse under the control of the mind it has originated from.Thinking ofcourse is what makes us decide what we want to do.This independence of thought is what makes us different from the next person.This is what has driven us all through history of humanity. This is what has defined the very term "HUMAN". But what happens when such thoughts are curtailed? What happens when the independence is no longer a luxury one cannot afford? What happens if what makes you is decided by others ? When do YOU die and the shell u leave behind is run by others around you ? Yeah , sometimes there is a need for others to say what is the right thing to do.After all , independent , though we may be mentally, we are all dependent on others around us to survive.And hence there are rules , dictated by the collective good. What i like to discuss is what happens when Individuality is surpress...
