Ambitious or Discontent–Does one compliment the other?

It’s been a Long time since I wrote it all down. I have been hearing things recently – things related to career settlement and things related to contentment, opportunity and professionalism and look-outs in various aspects. Whew, that’s a lot of words to grasp in a single sentence.

I recently met a friend of mine who never leaves a chance to show me about me being cranky (I can be sometimes – this one was completely uncalled for!); none the less she begins about me being discontent from life and not happy with the current job and role and responsibility and all that. I just mentioned one thing to her – I don’t need to be discontented when I know I am better than what I am doing now. It’s called ambition to look higher and not a discontent to know that you are doing the wrong role which was already surpassed in your career.

People treat this issue delicately – it’s close to the heart of many and hurts personally. I understand it now. But I do not regret the fact that I know what I am looking for. And if others find it as discontent, I simply pity them of not understanding my ambitions for higher endeavors in life (Everybody has his or her own – As for the female, she was more interested in working extra hours working on excel and keep herself in shape (*that’s what women call contentment* ;))

As for the topic of conversation – it makes sense to be cranky and over ambitious and discontented at times – all 3 can never happen at the same time, but it will give you a perspective and an intervention as to what you need to achieve in your life and are you seriously worth the thoughts and talent you feel yourself capable of, and possibly the answer triumphs in the bestest of the results for the individual. As for me, it always worked and changing myself for a person who finds contentment in things that are remotely trivial is something I stopped giving a damn to, long time back! Ciao

Give some Sunshine ..Give me some Rain.. Give me some Chilled Air.. the heat of Mumbai is a Pain!!!!

With the Inconvenient Truth being the integral part of the truth that has been happening now for decades and almost a century with the most important recognition given to it – Ignorance!!! Global Warming of late, has been causing more Tropical problems (let alone the Equatorial Boils)

Climates in Cities near the Ice Caps are comparatively chiller than those near the Lines of the Earth… Having said that, Afforestation is a necessary propaganda being mentioned and stressed now a days – even to the fact of national campaigns being held in accordance of the same to make realize the fact of the necessity of a better environment for the times to come. But “Everybody says but it doesn’t matter, since no-body listens!!!”

Climate in Mumbai – precisely the place where I stay at the moment aptly puts in the calamities faced by the less common man of suburbs… and if I am cribbing about the heat problems faced by the fraternity here who cannot enjoy or rather… #Respect to the fellows of Africa and Nam who have to go through unbearable heat…

A/c and commodities suffice at times but in the long run, Asthmatic fellows like me cannot risk the long term usage of the same. There comes a time when we need to realize the true potential of the payback that the nature can give when it gets it chance! A brief and small example is already present in front of us as we talk this – Tsunami in Japan and the corresponding Reactors-affected-waters in the Pacific by now.

Its time we took a stand and realized that Its our planet finally and we need to take quick steps to overcome the global situation. It might be surprising to find another earthlings in the Galaxy surrounding us and if they are seeing us today, they might be ashamed to see the race going in at this rate of death in so high a manner. Let buckle up and try to save the planet. Drop by Drop, Count by Count and all would see the new rays of sunshine sooner than the next Dusk!!! Smile\

Where there is a Will, there will be always be a ‘BILL’

imageIt is said there is a limit to tolerance – Precisely the boil today that define the threshold that has been handled by the Junta for over 4 Decades now. I am talking about the Lokpal Bill was that was finally accepted with the Draft provided by Jan-Nayak Mr. Anna Hazare –A Indian social activist who made a mark by standing against corruption on 5th April by entering an Indefinite Fast till the Lokpal Bill, first introduced in 1971 had been finally accepted as a draft and a notification was sent in accordance with the same.

The guts of a man who could turn the whole government with a simple Gandhian Way of living and Satyagraha has been seen as a most defiant and a gutsy act of chivalry to bring India together and make the country a better place to survive in. The Anti-Corruption movement led by him from 5th April till now has swept the nation alongside with him to take this matter in hands and make the Government realize that the tax-payers money can no more be wasted.

The fact that the Government has been so unwilling to accept all the demands in the simple manner and asking some amendments in the Bill coming in, even from the Leader Sonia Gandhi was a shame and a remark on the Judgments of the Government to suppress the common man further. Having said this, the most embarrassing thing about the current government that took limelight was the fact that the letter written by Anna Hazare Saheb was not even read by the Ministry council, and later requested another copy of the same.

The one Man Army who could not be ignored and simply not bent over shows us the rest of the crowd in India – a nation of 1.12 Billion Head Counts that nothing is impossible. The common man has always been the king and the Ministry has been servants, as we have always chosen them. They never had the right to table the bill for 4 decades or make any comfortable amendments to it. They are bound by the responsibilities of the nation and if they cannot perform those honestly, they should be stepping down; few already started doing so once the truth which is inevitable, was out!

A single Gandhi-waadi Manus could change the entire trail of a nation by simply fasting himself to death; Even the Government could not touch such a man; this is a new lesson for the New Generation. Having gone to the Candle March today, what remains to learn is the impact of the ongoing processes and to realize that we have the power to bring down a series of minister corrupted government to mud so as to serve an example to the rest. This is exactly what is supposed to be taken care of seriously. If a single man could do it, why are we sitting at home and tweeting and Sharing news of FB. Its not the time to showcase your concern on sites; instead it is the time to revolt and bring a revolution of killing corruption completely in the country and make a more better, developed and a powerful nation.
