Gandhiji ....

i recently have come across a lot of people who are so darn against the sayings of this man ((i'd like to add great man ...... but dont wanna use adjectives )) i am not speaking on what he did 4 our country , n what he didnt.. ..cos honestly am not very sure about the facts of th freedom struggle.....

m speaking about the beliefs of this man ..... the inspiration that he is .... bringing such a huge country together which has such varied individuals ..leading such a diverse lot of people is a huge thing to achieve.... but sustaining the group when there was such a huge pressure to put them off..... n what was the strength that this lean, mal-nourished looking tiny bald-headed man possessed ... the strength of doing what he felt was right ..... to stand up for what he believes in.....

the enormous strength of tolerance... n yet standing up for one's right ...m spellbound ... such simplicity yet such strength .......

who said that taking crap n not giving back is a weakness.....i might be repeating myself.... but am very touched by the words n thoughts that no matter what one does to us.... that is no excuse for us to react .... that is not being sissy ...... :)

this post of mine is dedicated to the man who bent down ....who smiled back at people who insulted him ...... who could stand up for what he thought was right ... n i guess thats what matters in the end of the day .... doing what u feel is right.... satisfying ones own conscious ...

i have no conclusion for this post ... no inference ...i'd just like to say ... that m so inspired by these words...... n ....... guess thats it ..... :)

Heart Vs Hate

A confused person writes again ............

The need to hate ??? the need to hurt ???

I fail to understand the need to hate anyone..... be it a person who hurt u a lot priorly ... I have come across people who tend to get very upset and curse the very fact that they met someone who could hurt them, .... they tend to curse themselves to have let their gaurd down ...

But what is so wrong about letting your gaurd down .... letting people enter your lives... I understand self protection ... but I find it very saddening that v dont trust our race ... that v need to be rude to certain people just to show them that -hey am a strong person , dont u mess wit me....

isnt this the actual sign of a weakness?????

Few years back i had come across a saying " Love the heart that hurts you, but never hurt the heart that loves you." by Vipun Sharma.

And I look back to find that these words have no meaning today, its either hurt or get hurt .... the race of survival...... "survival of the fittest " ......

Being nice to strangers is a taboo, and is looked with contempt .... smiling to a person u meet in the sub-way is inviting trouble???!!!!

And I agree that all my friends who have cautioned me of my "juvenile" ((as they tend to put it )) behavior, they are right but all am trying to say is its very very ,......... sad ....... that we have to live this way .... in constant fear.

the way we dress , the way we talk , the way we carry ourselves.... everything is subjected to what others might think about us.... that no one should get a wrong signal.... or misunderstand.......

I maybe completely wrong , maybe this is the art of survival ... but I think that in midst of surviving, we are forgetting what really counts...

Our true identity is to love without fear and insecurity. .......isnt it ??

I conclude by saying ....I refuse to hate people, I refuse to be rude to strangers ,even if they do happen to mis-judge it, even to those who have hurt me,

That doesnt mean I'll crib or whine....I ll move on if one hurts me.... I wont stand crap beyond my tolerance level... but that doesnt mean I'll hit back ..... or actually even think of .....

n to those who feel that being rude to people who bug u , being mean to people whom u dont care about is the way to survive..... ummmm......... actually I'm nobody to judge here .... so am not gonna....
