And they call it Freedom





The Indian constitution has listed seven rights, one of which is right to freedom. Although I am against the idea of democracy altogether, but for the time being I will not talk about it. I will just like to write about the Right to Freedom which is a fundermental right of citizens of India.

By definition:
Right to freedom includes freedom of speech and expression, assembly, association or union or cooperatives, movement, residence, and right to practice any profession or occupation (some of these rights are subject to security of the State, friendly relations with foreign countries, public order, decency or morality), right to life and liberty, right to education, protection in respect to conviction in offences and protection against arrest and detention in certain cases.

First of all, I find the definition flawed in itself. I don't think anyone has the authority to grant freedom to someone else. Now, even if you grant a right to freedom, there can be no exception to it. Freedom doesnot come with any chains or chuches. It is absolute. Freedom is the independence to do anything one wishes, whatever be the consequences. Obviously, absolute freedom can be disastrous because world is full of psychopaths and anti-social elements. But this doesnot changes the definition of freedom. If you grant freedom to someone, you can't put conditions on it. Freedom, if not absolute, cannot be called freedom. It can be anything but it.

So now, even if you can't grant unquestioning freedom, atleast fulfill what you claim to grant. You say one has freedom of speech provided it doesnot infringe the National security. But then you ban individuals from Social Media sites like Twitter and Facebook for instance. You ban people from protesting peacefully. Again, not that I care too much about the protests as they almost all go in
vain and are fruitless means of fulfilling ones demands. But even then, if one wishes to protest and feels that by protesting and rallying like this, he will get what he wants, then why block him. Why is he locked behind the bars for a peaceful procession. Aren't they trespassing the rights they have granted themselves?

Right to freedom cannot be granted by anyone. No one has the authority to grant this particular right to anyone else. Be it the government or parents. One is born with it and if it is compromised in any sense then one must fight till he dies for it. Because if you are not free, then life is worthless.


My inspiration for writing this article is the song 'Aazaadiyaan' from the movie Udaan.

No mercy

Social perpetrators who deserve death penalty also deserve it to be pain-full. Yes, ppl who commit serious crimes should be served to a death which is unscrupulous, so as to set an example to those who wish ill for others. They should be awarded a death so that they succumb to their injuries and feel the pain that they have cascaded on others. Ppl who commit ofences like rapes and murders should be honored with a public decapitation. Now some ppl might find my idea cynical, but this is the way it is supposed to be.

Everyone is suffering form megalomania!!

Most of the ppl i talk to seem to be suffering form this
uncanny delusion. Megalomania: delusion of grandeur.
I donno y, but no one possesses modesty and other primary
human values. M not sure about my point of veiw but
this is the way things seems to be.
In this respect i wud like to point out a small anecdote
about Lord Ganesha and a donkey. Once a procession
was passing through a town... headed by an
idol of Lord Ganesha on the back of a donkey. All the
ppl cascaded flowers over the idol and off course the
donkey. It(the donkey) was being worshiped and it thought
the world is
progressing because of him. so it had a delusion that
he is very imprtnt. So it started walking slower, lazing
around coz it thought itself to be the leader of the pro-
cession.Noticing this the ppl got angry,
kicked the donkey away and removed Lord's
idol from his back, and started carrying the idol by themselves.
The donkey was surprised to see that he
was no more respected by the ppl.
It forgot that its not him but the Lord's idol
that is placed above his back, is respected.

Schizophrenia

Am i also a schizophrenic, living in this virtual world of mine, where everyone is just another character for me.Everyone is just another entity for me which delivers something and leaves. Is it a virtual world I am living in?
I feel sad when someone mocks at me, i feel glad when i am commended, i am anxious when i think about my future and i feel nostalgic thinking about the past.
My personal faith is that everyone in this world suffers from schizophrenia of a different level.Because everyone has a different level of conception and one can never compare his conception with another. There is no device yet discovered, which can imitate one's feelings and emotions . Its just the thoughts that can be deciphered and that too if one wishes to express them.

What is my destiny?


 So, again i am writing about a subject that is abstract. Its a comparison between luck and fate.
I question, rather, i doubt the existence of fate. Has your fate been written and is the life you live predetermined? Is it so? Is it the fate that decides our future or is it our deeds? An unscrupulous murderer strolls around the town leisurely while an absolute law abiding citizen is imputed  and is now behind the bars. Was this his fate or just a misfortune to be in the clutches for a crime he did not commit? It might be the ingenuity of the murderer that he absconded and an innocent was caught.

Of course fate has got nothing to do with a man's future. Its his deeds or fortune/misfortune that backs him. While some people might find it cynical,some might agree to this so bizarre a thought.There is a big difference between luck/fortune and destiny. A man can be lucky or unlucky, which completely depends on probability of occurrence of an event and surely not on fate. I am skeptical about the abstract presence of destiny and fate 'coz it has never been proved and can't be proved as well.

Where are you God?

Some people might feel offended after reading this one,
but i have tried not to hurt anyone's religious feelings here.

I feel that our world is full of myths and misconceptions
about the Supernatural. But does anything like this exist, or is it
just our fear of God that makes us believe in such things.
I think the latter. People are told stories about Gods and one
dare not question them.They ought to agree whatever they are being told.
But my conception is a bit different. 
I believe that there is some Ultimate Power controlling
everything. Presence of that Power effects our life on this planet.
 I believe that there is some abstruse
element, beyond our understanding, our imagination, Omnipotent,which controls it all.
That Super-powerful phenomena destined our birth and will decide our death.
I am not an atheist, nor am i an agnostic. But I am a monotheist.
