Dream @ TATA

The interesting thing about dreams is that, everyone has them. But very few have the fire to go for them and only those few are the ones who turn their dreams into reality.

Ratan Tata saw one. And he had the guts to go for it despite everyone's opposition. Now, there's a man to look up to.

This is how the world treats those very few.

Gurgaon once again: MP schoolboy shoots mate

The news piece glared at me in the front page of TOI today. And i still haven't come out of the shock. Now, obviously i won't start complaining to what the world has come to? but somewhere we went wrong. We as an individual, as a family, as a society and as a nation went wrong. The following extract from the news piece says all:

This murder by a schoolboy, seen together with the Gurgaon killing and the murder of a student in Noida by his former classmates last month, shows a disturbing rise in violence involving students which until now was reported only from the US.

Its about time we realised our mistakes and did something about it. Innocence has already become so rare among us. We have lost the trust we had in the people. Everyday, we hear things happening around us, but unless they come to our doorstep we don't speak. Its always, the son of another man who shot or was shot. Its always the daughter of someone living far away who is raped by her own classmates, and its always the fault of the women who party at 2 past midnight who get molested. Its about time, we questioned the victim and the guilty less and questioned ourselves more. Each one of us.

What would we have done if we were there at 2 am in mumbai? What would we do, if we find someone with a gun in their hand, and what should we do to make sure that the people around us don't ever get the impulse to take such extreme steps. New year was good, but the days that have followed, the newspapers have been full with random incidents of rapes, murders, accidents because of drunken driving and more.

If anything has to change it will have to start with us, near us around us. If nothing is done, the day is not far when we will find our own sons carrying guns and daughters getting molested around. Its neither too easy, nor is it impossible. But we will have to understand the urgency of the situation, the urgent need of an action. We cannot be the bystanders, reading newspaper, sipping coffee and finally saying "ahh, what has world come to?"

"You must be the change, you wish to see in the world."
Mahatma Gandhi.

@Office

Yeah, I am working late at office once again. 20 days had gone by since i stayed back late, and i started assuming i had become efficient. Well it seems, i was wrong, it was just that i didn't have enough work. But now I have. Am i glad? I think I am.

As they say, an idle mind is a devil's workshop, and my mind was a laboratory for him(or should i say 'IT'). All kinds of thoughts came to my mind. The destructive ones. The frustrating ones. The self-immolating ones.

Ha!!!! D, now what do you say? Come and get me now. But now you can't get me. I am away from your reach.

Why am i writing this blog, when i should work? What am I writing? Or even better question, why am i writing this blog at all? Well, i think i don't know. Opened my blogger to check for new comments, but there weren't any. So, its for you all good-for-nothing-souls, comment on this, or when next time i dont have much work in my hand, i ll be thinking about you. And let me tell you, this can get very very
VERY
VEEEERRRRRYYYYY
SCARIE... HAHAHAHAHA.

huh!! (Neeraj shrugs and decides to end it)

chapter closed.

Its a cliche post

So, what do you think do i have in mind? I gave u the biggest hint thats possible. Its an used, per-used subject for writing a blog. People all over the world would be writing something about this subject. Everyone will try to make it as funny and "interesting" as he/she can. But to no avail.

I mean, every year a very big percentage of bloggers write about this, unfailingly. And every one tries to make it as unique as possible. The style that has never been used. But since we all have read the very same (or, similar) stuff, its very hard to make this subject even slightly different than what all already exist in the sphere.

Although I am very sure, you highly intelligent breed of common sensical people must have for sure guessed what subject I am talking about, but If you haven't been able to "decipher" it, coz of lack of the blob that exists in the upper most floor of the human body (and still to my utter dismay have stumbled to my post), the subject i am talking about is,

NEW YEAR 2008.

Now, people who have read enough of "happy new year" or "nu yr" or "HNY" etc etc posts, kindly move away from the blog, and those who haven't, go further.

Happenings of 2007:
1. Got a job. I am still employed.
2. Left IIT. Still hung up on friends and life there.
3. First flight.
4. First big city experience. (I think I am doing quite well)
5. Night Clubs
6. Absolutely no luck on romance side. (in short, "the same")
7. Made some 100 more friends. (in short, "the same")
8. Bought a bike. CBZ xtreme. (wanted to write a blog, but then didn't)
9. Travelled
10. Ahh!! now even i cant stand the stench of the used and used subject, so, etc etc etc.

Resolutions for 2008:
1. Can't tell you
2. Can't tell you
3. Can't tell you
4. Once again, etc etc etc.

Told you not to read it, now don't blame me.
After all the subjects says it all. It is, It was and It will always be, a cliched post.

so, to end my blog i ll like to say, goodbye 200.... ahh, c'mon.

chal ab kat le. bahut padh liya.
