Listen to this song ... Aashayein (Iqbal)
kuch paane ki ho aas aas
koi armaan ho jo khaas khaas ...
toofano ko chirke
manzilon ko cheen le ...
guzre aise har raat raat
ho khwaishoon se baat baat
What do we have to hope for in life. What do we have to fight for? Nothing at all. When was the last time you felt the desire to win. Studies were not important for most. All other causes we faught for were borrowed. RCA for many was again a foreign cause. We say country is important. But the day we are asked to do something we back out. We want others to fight for it though.
Jobs by definintion lack the concept of winning. And if you think promotion and salary raise is winning, wake up and think again. Feel for that guy in Iqbal who made into the team. Can you ever be that happy? No simply because we are not fighting.
I guess this line says it best : "guzre aise har raat raat ..ho khwaishoon se baat baat". Everynight before sleeping what do you dream for?
The best we could have done was to start up a company. But we missed it. And I regret it now more than anything else in my life. Life gives us a second chance. Kill this man Arjun Singh. Fight for your country. But no thanks. We are happy sitting and blogging. BTW thanks to him: we have a better discussion topic than Sachin Tendulkar's bad cricketing performance.
Well there's nothing to worry about. Yes the feeling of fighting and winning is completely missing from our lives, but 99% of the human race dies this way.

Arjun Singh should be given death sentence. For being an irresponsible person. Everybody thinks of their profit, but at the same time we assure that nobody else is hurt. And even if someone is hurt, he is not hurt too badly. This man is ready to kill a whole nation.
And these politicians they talk shit. They have on their agenda .. increasing the number of IIT's. WTBF .. shouldnt it be .. making more colleges and making existing colleges as good as IIT's. Its not the naming of a college as IIT that will improve it. This Congress government is the worst I have ever seen. No wonder we didnt progress the 50 yeasr these bastards ruled.
Anyway all we can do is sit on our asses and blog. Or discuss the issue on the lunch table. I pity myself and everybody who is not protesting. Shouldnt we be fighting for our country?
I talked to a lot of my friends and no one was least bothered. There was a protest march from IIT to AIIMS. No one knows whether it happened or not. Such is the level of interest we have in our country.
My office ppl had a very furious discussion on the lunch table. I suggested what we could do. No one was at all interested.
Quite a few ppl were interested in the fact whether this will affect them or not. Private companies mein to nahi hoga na reservation.
As they say .. every country gets the government they deserve. I guess Arjun Singh should live. :-(
The young man strugggles on and on he's known
A vow unto his own
That never from this day
His will they'll take away
..................
What i've felt
What i've known
Never shined through in what i've shown
..................
A tired man they see no longer cares
The old man then prepares
To die regretfully
That old man here is me

We never appreciate the meaning of things unless we are in the situation to appreciate them. For example I could never fathom the fact that a man could be possessive about her girlfriend. I found it ridiculous when ppl acted insecure. But now I am in a situation which I used to detest in others. Thus I have stopped criticising human instincts.
Similarly I used to hate the songs , yaaron (KK), pal (KK) etc, but there was a phase when I was losing friends by the day when I left college. And I understood what they meant. Similarly I hated this song .. chalte chalte mere ye geet yaad rakhna... but somehow I have started appreciating this too. And no i still hate the music of this song. Its just that the lyrics have some meaning now.
Maybe this is what you mean by growing up. And maybe I have grown up a lot in one year.
Time, they say is the best teacher and the best healer.
