तो..... मोदी को try करते है !!!!

Prologue :

Date:14/02/2014, Valentine's Day. Another day from the long string of "Days" observed by Indian Youths as a part of their Act West ( Look Cool is silent ) Policy. The coffee bar is deserted, with only a few recipients entertaining it with their presence. Perhaps, even the bar is dusted watching the little teens make promises for life, which however, shall end in a fortnight. But there is an Aberration. A group of bachelors, Gautam, Om, Murtaza and Digvijay, are observing a birthday of one of their goons, Om. Even not capable of making promises to themselves, they transient to a Political Talk from the celebrations. This further proves to be a docile act of "chipping in" the discussion which now engulfs almost the whole bar. Except an old man who still prioritizes his Irish Coffee.

A wounded BJP has gambled on the Ambiguous Narendra Modi. Initially, the move was received with a notion of skepticism. But as the campaign has progressed, the 64 year old is discussed more. Notorious for the "Godhara Kand" and accoladed for the Gujarat Model, Modi has left observers bamboozled.

"I think he would make a much better PM then the current one," serves Gautam for counter.
"Let's not forget the Ahmedabad Massacre. He is a cold blooded murderer." counters Murtaza.
"The SIT has acquitted him from all the charges," chips in the waiter
"Yeah but deep inside we all know the truth" an enthusiastic coffee neighbor.
"Well, I shall opt for NOTA. Neither of them are good, anyway." exclaimed Om.
And there were various serves and counters. But the ball didn't rest in any court.

Digvijay, less receptive of all, was enduring his "Café Latte". Upon confrontation, he shrugged off the topic declaring that Mr.Modi would enjoy a majority mandate, however not on his merit. Astonishment struck the audience. Digvijay promised to reason with his statement after 4 years of the Modi Government, around the vicinity of next elections. The rest is history. People involved were bewildered by the unprecedented victory of Modi as well as the right prediction of Digvijay. Digvijay arranged the gathering and they met at the same place on Date : 11/11/2018. ( Ironically, Singles' Day ).

Digvijay's Explanation:

Indians are difficult to comprehend. We are full of Inertia. At the same time, we are desperate for change. Calling us Fickle Minded would definitely not be an understatement. 2014 General Elections is a perfect example of the same. We are too magnanimous, too generous to give one a Chance without contemplating the consequences. While this is desirable for Freshers' , it is not universal. 

10 Years of Indian National Congress..... Bored..... Let's change. Option : All time Charismatic Narendra Modi. Maybe, PM Modi was sound enough. ( By this I am not Criticizing Narendra Modi. He has done far better than INC. On the contrary, I am applauding his analytics. )

Influence adversely affects Indians. We are lazy enough to be at our wits' end for literally anything. Politics has flourished on this attribute. The culprit here are not the Politicians but we. Unlike US, there are No Public Debates where the candidates prove themselves worthy. Instead there are public rallies full of accusations and counter accusations. Indians decide their vote based on these. They let their control be in hands of the orator. Maybe, we are not worthy for any bureaucratic debates thanks to the pathetic condition of our education which has not reached to every living entity. 

A person claims something fancy and Indians count on it no matter how impoverish it's chances are for fulfillment. There is no "Second Thought" applied, in colloquial terms. And if these guys rage about the inefficiency of government it's not fair play.

Round the corner, it is a tough time for Modi Government, which is reflexive of the fickle minded nature of Indians. Catering to this, Influence has been the fore-runner coupled with lack of rational analysis. INC is leaving no stone unturned for getting back in power. Some of their claims are reasonable. For e.g.: The Fancy Propaganda led by PM Modi of bringing back Black Money in 15 days. This also had to be rationally evaluated. But the appeasement can be The Strong Foreign Policy, Innovative Schemes and a ray of hope which PM Modi carries with him.

Also, during the Congress Regime, there were various good decisions unnoticed such as Recession Tackle, India's GDP touching 10, betterment of Railways and Structured Budget. Overshadowing these were COAL SCAM, 2G SCAM, Family Preference Issues, etc. And unfortunately, Indians, without any deep analysis and thinking, were bored from INC and due to this very reason didn't elect Narendra Modi but just gave him a chance. And also, Indians are least concerned about various steps of government, They just want the bigger picture, an external influence to tell them that whom they should vote in 2019.

Epilogue: 

The gathering was put to shame by Digvijay. The Coffee Mugs were left untouched cause being the the confrontation of reality. But this reasoning of Digvijay enlightened the niche. They decided to choose the worthy in the forthcoming elections. When they were leaving the coffee house, they confronted a large procession, with hoardings that said:

"आपने  मोदीजी को 5 साल दिए , अब राहुलजी को भी 5 साल दीजिए" . They heard various people in their vicinity to give their vote to INC. When confronted, they said :

"अरे  मोदी  को try करके  देख  लिया , अब  राहुल  को  try करते है !"  

HAIL TO ALL GODS!!

 

R.I.P Sunday

Prologue:

It is Sunday, the God's Day ( Chandler ). Digvijay, an adult of about 28 years, happily "unmarried", living in a pompous mansion in the City of Dreams Mumbai with his parents, is sipping a  cup of coffee just perfect to kick-start the day. No sooner his mind is engulfed in some stuff. He is thinking about the proceedings of his "Cheat Day" and how will he celebrate his success, as yesterday he was conferred with the "Emerging Bijness Mind"( Yes, it's Bijness and not Business as it is more authentic to Gujaratis. Digvijay is a Gujarati and so am I ) Award. After finishing his routine, he confronts his parents and prepares a whole lot of things that should be done during evening course of time. But, Suddenly his vision seems to blur and he feels a little less receptive. He hears an alarm with the song Morning Vibes roaring in the background, irritating enough (Like Mr. Modi's speeches right now..... I am a Modi Bhakt, myself). His being less receptive is coupled with the increasing rowdyism of  alarm and suddenly boom.......... He wakes in a dawn of Disappointment with  his cell phone displaying " Incoming Call : BOSS".

Boss : Digvijay, I need you to complete the task assigned yesterday today itself rather than next week. Unfortunately, the client needs that ensemble by tomorrow morning itself. I won't be able to help you as I am pre-occupied in some other work. ( Actually, he doesn't want to ). But I am sure you can. After all, you have handled a whole lot back in your IIM days. Have a happy Sunday.

Digvijay: ( Thinking ) What an Irony!

Boss : You don't have a choice.

The guy dies a little inside. Not an aberration as this has been his routine since Standard 8.


Main Point :

India is a diverse country, though there are various claims of it being united  at various instances. Say for example, Food which connects all Indians, or an India-Pakistan Match, or a social turmoil. The Proponents of "Unity in Diversity", however, have forgotten to include "Sundays". Interestingly, majority of Indians have a mundane pattern and thought process for Sundays-All Relax and no work makes a Sunday, "Sunday". Here "Sunday" also addresses various festivals.

But there is a "Greater Niche" which is almost defying this notions shamelessly over the years. It has exploded in the last 20 years. Flag bearers of "My Career First" against Proponents of "Sunday". But as such there is no friction between these two as working is like a sweet crime. How can you deny it? These groups exist within a modern nuclear family, entangled. Evolving over the years, there was a gradual shift in the notion from "All Relax Day" to "Half Relax Day". Thanks to the ever increasing love between our older generations( You know what I am implying, right? ) , it has reduced to "Sunday is like any other day". The essence is destroyed. India stands divided, selfishly. The batch of 1995 cannot ever imagine about Sunday being a "Cheat Day". Of Course, without hard-work nothing can be achieved and anything should be sacrificed before it. But there is also a saying that "All Work and No Play makes Jill a Dull Boy". Are we approaching to a thinner end?

Above, I have specified the Batch of 1995. This is a sure head-turner. Many of you belong to the batch. Some back and forth. But, by now, I think you would be retrospecting your school and college life and patting your back ( Protagonist ). If you are one, YOU ARE MISLEADING YOURSELF.

Insight :

Thanos once said to Doctor Strange : "The Hardest Choices require the Strongest Wills". It is relevant to non-cinematic world too. The concern is not about Sundays. It is about Cherishing that You have finally accorded it "Dead" or "Not Applicable to You" as you are just more busy in something extremely important. You are not an Altruist. You are Selfish and achieving your goal is the only single objective of your life. And for that, you are sacrificing everything. Everything comes at a Price.

Introspect. What do you want to be? What are you up to? And if not something fancy, do enjoy "Sundays" . In fact, everyday. Because observations of  various social scientists prove that anybody who is not up to something fancy is more practical and a keen observer as well as learner of "Jugaad". It is a virtue in itself. As The One Who has opted for the Road Less Taken, tends to make some impractical decisions which might seem less pleasant to the ordinary world, as he is travelling on a different league. It's your choice what to opt for.....  BTW, Swami Vivekananda, the Great Indian Scholar and Philosopher, has said that A Life Born on Earth has some or other Extraordinary Purpose.

If you have opted for a Gigantic Endeavor, the fundamental rule is No Excuses. And thereby, Sunday is the greatest excuse. Great tasks require time. Even though there is no guarantee for a positive result, it the process which would make one a "Stand his/her Ground". Putting it this way, The result is sweet, the process sweeter. No sooner you are engaged in a mammoth task, you would tend to develop a liking towards your efforts. You would value it. Also, it would induce an ability of "Sneaking Out" in you. The ability to find pleasure in the smallest proceedings of life. This leads to transformation of an ordinary day into Diwali. You can enjoy Diwali everyday as the basic line underneath any festival is Being Jocular, and you have learned to be one over a period of rigor. On a serious note, value your loss. As a Sunday, with all it's embodiments, maybe a dead chapter for you but it still is a Vanity as well as Necessity for others. Value the Concept of Sunday itself as animals also don't have Sundays, only that don't value it or are unaware of the fact.

So step up, gather some guts along with a pinch of selfishness, and keeping your ground declare with utmost passion in the public domain, " R.I.P Sunday".........

Epilogue:

Digvijay dies a little. But, sooner he recollects his goal and tons of hard work done on Sundays to stand-out. He values this loss. He thinks of working harder as a compensation. He steps up, puts on his best clothes and mounts his will power. Riding on the vehicle of Hard Work with the songs of passion sung aloud, he reaches the office of selfishness and texts his boss : " R.I.P Sunday".


Hail To All Gods!!!!

You Are A Protagonist

                               You ARE  A PROTAGONIST

Putting it in a More "Pragmatic" Way, it seems that we are the Survivors of our own films. Films here is analogous to the Bigger Picture, i.e., LIFE. We often tend to Sympathize with ourselves just like an audience sympathizes with the Protagonist of a Film ( Exclude the Flamboyant South Indian Industry). In layman language, The Hero is dreaded with all the possible atrocities of life. He is Either Poor or middle - class, struggling or rather Jostling with the World to earn a living to achieve his respective tasks. Exception are the Dharma Producti Films wherein the Protagonist is Rich ( Like Bruce Wayne ) but is struggling with inner himself or with the perspective of his/her parents. Quite Evident from the Recent Release "Dhadak" in which we can see Jhanvi Kapoor's Character having a hard time with his father. Same for  Varun Dhawan's Character in "Student of the Year. Of Course, the situation in both the films is different but at the end, a sympathizer doesn't need a Mirror of Reality.

When it comes to Consoling Ourselves, there are NO FILTERS. There is No Rational Thinking and Appreciation  of what an individual has that others don't. The Latter Sentence is Just Like what "Thepla" is for Gujaratis. It is used by Anyone, Anywhere, Anytime and for anybody. So cheap that it can be accorded  as  Stereo. The Reaction of the Opposite Party however varies from person to person but it is definitely NOT PLEASANT. And bluntly, It should not be Pleasant. Everyone has different Circumstances. Some are Crippled By Body, Some by Mind while some by Conscience. There is no difference in the sufferings pertaining to the all three. Sometimes, the Sufferings Pertaining to the latter two are more than the former. Not Convinced???? Let me give you my example.....

Disclaimer :  

The Short Para beneath consists references to GUJARAT TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY ( GTU ). So, Please don't Judge Me....... It has given me everything and I respect it's conventions.

 

The Final Showdown of 6th Semester of Engineering was approaching. Unfortunately, It was Preceded by our College's Annual Tech-Fest. Of Course, I was busy with the Proceedings of the Fest as it is believed that An Exam in GTU is Game of A Knight before a Night. I had been following the convention since last 5 times and was getting Definite Results. I thought of resorting to it once more but my conscience contrasted the decision. I ignored ( Crippled By Conscience ). I didn't know what God had planned for me but I was affected by Chicken-Pox lately during the fest. 1 Week Recovery and had to depart from home. During this One Week, I had built a Special Attachment for my Home and Parents. I had to leave as only 2 weeks were left for the First Exam. Next three days of my life can be regarded as the most confused and miserable state of my life. I had to go home again. Again stayed for 1 week, again developed more attachment. 

The Exam Came and I was doing pretty well. But, What I was waiting for was Going Home Again ( Crippled by Mind ). I thought I had done well and would maintain my Streak of Good Scores. ( Good Scores are Subjective ). Few days ago, result was announced and I got the lowest grade in my history. ( I passed the exam though with Average marks ). Sat down to analyze what went wrong. The Reason was Irrationality but I Compromised or rather Sympathized with BAD HEALTH AND EVERYTHING IN - BETWEEN. The Conscience shouted "YOU ARE WRONG". I said "SHUT UP.....  I AM THE PROTAGONIST OF MY  LIFE".

CRUX :

So.... Good Evening To Everyone who is reading this . I am Writing this in Evening so used that Phrase but if you are reading it in a different Phase..... ADAPT.  Because that's what we Humans tend to do. Whether it is Food, Living, Clothing, Environment and ......  SYMPATHY. The Extent to what we should do it is never defined and will never be defined. But one thing is very much sure is that we would start perceiving ourselves as SURVIVORS OF ATROCITIES OF LIFE and life as the ANTAGONIST. We would dream a Glossy Film around our Life ( Our Biopic ) and we being the most Miserable One. Full of Colossal. And it's a Blockbuster since it is so inspiring. The Title which would suffice here maybe " Meri Jung - A One Man Army ". The Statement which I am trying to make here is that In Our Perception, We Are always doing the Things which the Situation Demands and then consider that to be Right. Even though we know that it is actually a Hypo critic Act.

The above idea struck me in the middle of the Very Well Received Film "Sanju". While I think it's too Overrated, the world is awestruck by Sanjay Dutt's Struggles. I Appreciate his Struggles, hands down but at the same time would not refrain from giving a vehement Comment on the Paths he took that led him to his fate. Advocating him, The Audience gives two Reasons that he is an innocent man.

1) Sanjay Dutt has confessed that he kept the Arms and Am-munitions but to Protect his Family. 

Now, it's really disgusting that audiences are believing him as it is clearly illegitimate to have Arms without license. Also, on seeing his character, I feel that he never was caring for his family. He was just a Desperate Man with no ground floor plan or else he would have opted out from drugs when Respected Sunil Dutt told him for the first time.

2) Arey Yarr..... Lekin Usne Accept to Kiya Naa ki Usse Galti Huyi.

Guys, what another option he had but to accept his fault. And the above argument is much more discomforting. I have A Short Temper and someone is teasing me for long. I will go and kill him/her and then accept that I have done a Mistake...... Think At Your Own Level??

Nevertheless, Sanjay Dutt was doing everything in the right direction according to himself. He was the Protagonist of his own Life. But that was not in Public Domain. But with the Path-Breaking Sanju, the audience is sympathizing with him. I am afraid that a niche public might be Empathizing too.

Conclusion:

Whatever Circumstances may come, we would act according to our best understanding. Which is totally natural and acceptable as the interpretation of a situation is different for different people. But there is a bottom line of Rationality which is same for all the intellects. No One is too foolish that he/she can't see the negative consequences coming of a particular action. The thing is Intent . Knowing that it is not rational and then consoling ourselves that I had no other option is a Reflection of Lack of Intent and Crippled Conscience. Then you are definitely the PROTAGONIST OF YOUR LIFE.

On the other hand, working with a Clear Intent and Zero Tolerance Towards Sympathizing, results in fruitful results. Though not early, though not glossy but worth the Struggle. In this case, YOU ARE DEFINITELY THE PROTAGONIST OF YOUR LIFE.

In Either Case , You Are the One who suffers and Flourishes. It's Up to You, WHICH PROTAGONIST ARE YOU!!!!!

Thank You.
