The Growing Intolerance

Intolerance is rising…Yes, you read it right. It’s the word that is all over the social media, news debates, and political circles. It is also a hot topic at Chai wala’s shop these days. Seriously most of us really have no idea about how intolerant or tolerant we are? We can’t even tolerate a debate on tolerance. And both the sides are intolerant in accepting the viewpoints of the other side.



We, the masses, are heavily influenced by one side or the other. And when we face the other side of the story, even if we know the truth, we tend to ignore and stand with what we have been consistently speaking about. We are not politicians. Our Twitter and Facebook accounts, Social Media, My blog, and our voices are not at the service of political interests of those others who are influencing us to side with them.

Don’t be a victim and a propagator of Hate Speech at the same time over any platform. Yes, the Choice is truly yours to exercise. You are entitled to freedom of speech & expression given by Constitution of India. But it’s high time to realize that freedom comes with a responsibility. Without responsibility, there is no freedom at all. It is easy to hurt someone for the alleged wrongdoings of others, but it is not easy to be a victim in such a case. Don’t do to others what you do not want to be done to you.

Most importantly, stop judging people by their political orientation. And most of us are not black and white with these subjective issues nor was it meant to be so. A good work by Modi, Gandhi (Rahul) or Kejriwal deserves mention and appreciation irrespective of our political affiliation. Equally important is the criticism when the need be. We All Most of us want a tolerant India with better opportunities for development and growth. Let’s work towards that goal.

Enough litter has been thrown, it’s time to Clean up. No need to tolerate my views either. Option to criticize is always open. But I am one among you, at least appreciate the goodness that we have in common and maybe someday, we will have much in common to stand up for each other and for the whole of India.

Thank You for tolerating me. Views are strictly personal, so is the toleration level. Please comment with your views to enrich the discussion.

    Most people don't have any strong view of their own. they go with the tide. If Mr Modi is the most powerful person, they support him. Tomorrow if some leftist proves to be an efficient leader, people will follow him. Hence it is the duty of the leader to use that pliability properly. Mr Modi is using it improperly.

    Thanks for reading and providing your valuable insight...yes, a leader and a representative is more accountable and duty bound. He/she must act responsibly at all times.

Some are truly made of GREAT

Image
We meet so many individuals during the journey called life. Every one of us is unique. Our experiences with them constitute the learning that makes us into whatever we become over a period of time. The best people to be with are the ones who inspire us. These are the people who know how to live and love with an open heart. Their thoughts, ideas, feelings make us trust them and with time, they make us understand the meaning of greatness. Greatness is not related to money or fame or heroism. It is a habit. It makes one face the troubling situations. Greatness is the test of substance of the character. Greatness is simplicity, love and true beauty of the inner self. Greatness is a rarity. Many of us are good at something or the other. Some of us are better than many of us. But Only some are truly made of great. This post is a tribute to those great inspirational individuals. I also encountered a few people who have truly been great and inspirational. These are the ones...

I Warned You!

Team Name: Maximus Dramaticus Read the previous part here: The Warning “I warned you, you nasty bastard!” Shouted the lady clad in white standing behind him. She was holding a razor in her hand, soaked in deep red blood. It was the same lady whom Cyrus saw the other day. The sight was terrifying, the silence of the night was deafening. His heart sank with fear of death and he wanted to scream, but his voice betrayed him. His face turned pale, he stumbled and hit his head on the basin and fell unconscious on the floor. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cyrus woke to the irritating sound of Alarm ringing somewhere. He so wished that someone switches off that irritating sound, but it continued ringing. He was lying on his washroom floor. He tried to search the source of the sound as it was coming from somewhere in the washroom itself. The irritating sound persisted. It was his cell phone ringing alongside the basin. He tried to stand up but he felt unbearabl...

थक गया हूँ बहुत...आज सोता हूँ मैं

आज मुझे सो लेने दो, दिन भर का थका हुआ हूँ; नींद में ही सही रो लेने दो।। जब उसका कोई सहारा ना था, वो किसी का भी इतना दुलारा ना था; तब सहारा दिया था उसे एक दिन।। उसके आँसू गिरे जब भी, रोया हूँ मैं, उसकी हर आह पर एक आवाज की; उसको जीने की हर पल नसीहत भी दी।। आज खुश है वही और रोता हूँ मैं, उसको चिन्ता नहीं एक पल के लिये; अपने आँसू से पत्थर भिगोता हूँ मैं।। गम की दुनिया में गम के ही साये मिले, दोसत जितने भी ढूँढे पराये मिले, एक मुद्दत से हूँ राह पर मैं खड़ा; लोग जितने भी देखे,सताये मिले।। गम नहीं रीत है ये ही संसार की, क्षुद्रता है यही स्वार्थ व्यापार की, किन्तु फिर भी तिमिर को सँजोता हूँ मैं; थक गया हूँ बहुत,आज सोता हूँ मैं।।
