Pseudo Patriotism

The row about Narayan Murthy not playing the non worded national anthem and rather the instrumental version, and Sachin tendulakar cutting a tricolor cake has brought in the whole discussion about whose more patriotic. Who in the sane mind can believe that playing a non worded national anthem lowers the patriotism in you??? man.....i think patriotism is not not in words ....patriotism is always in your heart...its in your actions......saying does not make a person patriotic........All these corrupt politicians, if these people come in rallies and say they are patriotic and they love their country...but actually go back and do wide scale corruption and evoke communal tensions etc etc....now would you consider them patriotic in any way at all. Today the BJP leaders who have been charged with playing with communal passion distributing CDs may come out and say that they are patriotic and raise questions on a Murthy or a Tendulkar 's patriotism.....thats not done man....thats total hypocrisy.

I think a person is truly patriotic when he pays taxes on time.....when he donates to the society around him so people around him,his community can grow .....I think the army guys are patriotic coz they are risking their lives for people whom they don't even know..all in the name of motherland.

Saying is not enough ....actions have to speak rather than the words......Anyone who accuses of Narayan Murthy to be non patriotic should go back and see what he's done for the community around. Has he created good jobs for the youth in the country ....has he done anything for the environment or the society around him.....acts such as the above will make someone patriotic and not just singing the anthem in the right spirit.

Tough Life

My friend reminded me that I started my blog with "Happyness" as the caption but have not been able to write too many positive stuff in it. Last few days Cricket was on my mind so thats why the whole thing started looking like a cricket blog rather than a general one :D.....and that too much positive didn't happen in Cricket from India's front :(

Anyways so is our life tough .... ya I think it is . True there are ups and there are downs....true that there are happy exciting times and there are totally lul times ...... there are carefree moments and then some where we are made to think so hard that life seems challenging. But I guess people want to be happy in general.......I would like to think that each one of us is working in life to be happy. Now for some being satisfied with a particular situation or condition or stability brings in happiness and for others ..... more of them like me ..... we keep striving and looking for happiness in dissatisfaction. I mean for us happiness mean striving working for the distant future ..... for us change means happiness.......static constant monotonous stuff does not help our mindset. It means boredom which totally not what we want from life....none wants boredom....but for our kind of people it just crepes in too fast and keeps bothering us too soon ...ah I am just so troubled by this man .

Now one thing is the change required and another to choose what change in life you want. Whenever we have situations in which we need to choose which change to adopt in life ...... we do a full mental analysis and our brain evaluates based on the very complex algorithm it has been gifted with (though mine is quite a simple one :p) and tells us to adopt a particular one change. Now the problem arises here ....only sometimes not always ......this realizes to be the wrong choice alas ..... that makes life tough ....... TOUGH..... Yup tough.....but actually tough's fine ....tough brings in excitement......tough keeps me going......
