You lead, I'll follow.

Everyday, while walking my rounds in the park, I come across them, and everyday I think about writing about them. Seeing their faces filled with joy and gratification, that finally someone has taken up the initiative to come forward and not only, train them for the tougher times but also, do it in a jolly and playful form.

I see, an old man, bringing together a bunch of under privileged children, of all ages, playing games with them, making them perform various exercises, and that too in discipline, making them use their time fruitfully. And not only, playing games but also, making them study in groups and teaching them, and ending everything with, our National Anthem, everyday.

This is something I really, look up to with great respect. If an old man can, so can we, the young guns!

Thinking of shooting and clicking a few photos of them. Will upload it too, shortly.

I think that's what is called selfless work, work without any selfishness. He, surely, deserves a JAI HIND!

Beyond "I"

I had been wanting to write a post on this for months, but was either too lazy or too busy (although I think the former) to finally place down my thoughts together.

I read an article about 2 months back, in the Times Life newspaper, which helped to leave a mark on my thoughts to this extent, that I have not only been wanting to write about this topic, but also finally gathered to write it, out of my do - nothingness.

How many of us have actually took a moment to think, how many times do we use the word I daily, infact in every sentence possible. Are we all so self - centered that all we can think about is Me, My, Myself? Trying to fit in ourself, linking it to our life, our job, and what not, in everything that we come across.

If someone's work is run down, or someone experiences failure, then we don't hesitate to include I told you this would happen, instead of giving support which was required. If someone is just sharing their experience, then we can't help it but again talk about ourselves by I have done this too, infact a long time ago. And there are millions of examples which we continue to get with the every sentence that we speak.

The other day I was reading an article by my close friend, (I know you might thinking what's the point in mentioning close here, and making the writing kinda personal, but you'll know why.) about the career plans (or I should say his career plans), that we decided together, with together I mean in all aspects, and in no condition could choose one in which didn't fulfill it, and all I could read were "I"s and more of "I"s, and the "Me"s, "My"s, and "Myself"s to top it. Although, I know its nothing but human nature, we can't help but write in single tense, for only ourselves but sometimes, some "We"s are required.

Sometimes, a look Beyond I is required.


And I know, my usage for "I"s too reaches peaks, but it's never late to start pondering upon what, and how we speak it. (If nothing, it might bring a smile to someone's face by the feeling that someone genuinely thinks of their welfare too.)

Single In The City

Have been trying to read Single In The City for over months now, and still have only managed to reach half way! I had thought, the day I brought it, I'll write a post on it. But, maybe my reading pace, (only for this book!) have slowed down to an extent I could never imagine or maybe I've not been able to connect much with it (because of my laziness), though with the title, I thought, it was just for me.
Single In The City reaches out to every individual living in a metropolitan, be it single or with family, trying to bring out their individuality infront of the world. (with the effects of being THE SMARTER ONE ofcourse!)

Living in Delhi, we all have to prove ourselves in the smarter lot, because as the Charles Darwin's theory says "Survival Of The Fittest", i.e, survives the one, who is worth for. Though, if getting into the details of Survival of the fittest, which, I remember, I studied in class 8, was used as a synonym for natural selection. (A biological term, which I really don't remember about!)

Well, so basically it is a journey of boldness, a journey from being dependent to the one with responsibilities, our independence! (for which we surely have to prove ourselves.)

So, put a foot forward, choose the path and get on the journey!
