Procrastination.. once in a while

Wiki defines procrastination as the practice of carrying out less urgent tasks in preference to more urgent ones, or doing more pleasurable things in place of less pleasurable ones, and thus putting off impending tasks to a later time, sometimes to the last minute before deadline.

Procrastination as per definition must be a inadvisable and loss bearing substance. It may sound so but it isn't so.

We get lost as we got old. We are groomed with manners, responsibilities and etiquette's. The society expects us to behave in a certain manner that  is felt to acceptable and other behavior is considered either childish or immature. It is certainly not so. If for one moment of your life time you start running away from the things that build your financial portfolio and stop being a materialistic weasel, you shall discover few habits or things that would make you happy. Obviously there would be a little strike on your bank account but you would earn a true smile after years.

Rather than restricting yourself to the office room and watching the rain fall through your window, go out and get wet in the rain. You shall discover that childhood carelessness back within you. Rather than thinking about those strolls in the village fields and getting nostalgic, its better to visit your native once in a while and stroll across the fields. Although the world has turned more concrete than what it was when you were a child, those fields are still pleasant and you are perhaps in more need to discover that peace now than you were a child. There are many things other than money that might bring some bliss for you.

At the end when you will be old, you won't be seeing your bank passbook and smiling but recollecting memories and smiling.

Inter Caste Marriage

In India, when a sperm and an ova meet the first thing they decide is the caste and the religion. Why is it so? Is inter-caste justifiable? Aren't we too outdated that we are still stuck in such issues?

In the era of Kings and Palaces the jobs of the people were distinctly classified and people were to follow those jobs generations after generations. It was a belief that a carpenter's son could not learn anything else but carpentry. The belief was there because it was felt that a carpenters son got exposed to carpentry most of the time and so was his learning better in that field. The same was with other professions. Later this classification of profession transformed to castes and people with some luxurious professions started hating the other profession people. This is how the society got divided into two halves. It was also accepted by the people then because people had different habits. People from one profession had a unique lifestyle and food habit, which was completely different from others. It was believed that when a girl from one different professional background would step into a household that follows another profession, she would face troubles to accept the culture and hence their could have been conflict of opinions. So to avoid such conflicts the concept of inter caste marriage prevailed and was propagated.

Today in this era a guy, whose forefathers were warriors; who has done his schooling in Assam, graduation in Delhi, masters in Ahmedabad and works in Bhubneswar marries a girl who basically hails from Karnataka, whose forefathers were priests; who has done her schooling in Tamil Nadu, graduation and masters in Delhi and works in Bhubneswar. This kind of scenario isn't very unique in this era. There isn't any propagation of profession. People are unique, they are brought up in a cosmopolitan culture and they are exposed to all kind of profession and life styles. There is nothing called marriage in a caste. People today don't match castes, rather they search for understanding in their perfect companion.

Death is begining

Nobody has perhaps known,

if death exits or it don't.

If we live and tell, 

about death a fairy tale, 

it would sound funny,

with a hidden irony..

As we come out of the womb,

we see the trees and feel the warmth,

and our entry into the world,

is thought to be our birth in  the universe.

Is it so true or our leap from a different habitat?

Have we thought about a life,

where death ain't the end every time?

There might be an universe,

far away from us,

where our souls live as a family.

It might be possible,

we haven't seen death in our lifetime..
