Years of innocence or curse?

Childhood- the most amazing time of life. The only time in life when we don't have to worry about studies or people. When life is all about playing with friends and getting pampered by parents.

Those innocent yet naughty years of my life are long gone. But it still brings a smile on my face when I flip the pages of my childhood albums. It also makes me remember those friends who have just vanished into the world and never met me again.
When I see the hypocrisy and the pride of the grown-ups, I sometimes feel it would have been better if I was a kid and would have never understood all these things. But after all that has happened in the past week it just scares me to become a kid again.

For me, babies or kids are the cutest thing on Earth and how can someone even think of raping them?  I feel sad that people could even think badly about innocent kids. I was shocked by the news of a 5-year old girl getting raped. I feel sad that people could even think badly about innocent kids. I was shocked by the news of a 5-year old girl getting raped. Seriously, people are becoming animals day by day (Oops! I don't wanna insult animals by saying this, animals are much better). I'm sick and tired of hearing from people they should be given this punishment, they should be hanged to death immediately. I understand this is their way of showing anger or disappointment. But is there any other way to stopping all these cruel and inhuman activities in our society?

We have tried "dharnas" or fasts after the 16th December rape case which seemed unending but it didn't change the scenario much, other than creating commuting problems for ourselves. We give speeches, we write(like the one I'm writing now), we have long debates about it and we also get to hear some precious words from our Ministers like we are very sorry, girls should dress properly etc...etc...(it seems to be a very long list)...But is there an actual solution for it? Can this society change or will it get worse?

I used to think change starts from one person and it can spread like wildfire. But now I'm doubtful about it. I leave this question to you because I myself don't have an answer. Do comment.

Me & my adventurous mind

Once again my semester comes to an end and as usual I'm completing all my assignments overnight. On normal days, I just keep on staring at my phone for a message or a call and I end up getting vodafone service smses and calls. But by the end of the semester my phone keeps ringing as everyone wants to know about assignments or how many of my assignments are left.

I was wondering I'm a last-minute worker,what would happen when I'll actually start working. Everything would be so messed up.Then I just leave it and think I'll see when it actually happens.
Then I remind myself that I had joined journalism course to do something adventurous in life. I never wanted to land up in a boring 9-5pm boring job but now I feel bus kahi naukri mil jaye. Let me just get to the point I feel jobs should be really interesting and fun. According to my imagination, everyone should do what they feel like doing on a particular day. Like if I get up in the morning and I feel like gardening or on another day I feel like rock climbing then on the third day I feel like becoming a chef, I should be allowed to do that and get paid according to my performances in different fields. I don't even mind getting less paid till I enjoy every bit of my job. Wouldn't life be so much fun? Nowadays, I feel work becomes so monotonous and it gets irritating after working for sometime and stop giving their 100 percent.

I always think life is too short to experience everything. If something like this actually happens I would be able to experience a lot of things.
Then I got hard hit by the reality of life that I was surrounded by all my worksheets and more than half of my work was still incomplete.

THINKING OUT LOUD !

People often come up to me and say you seem to be upset or where are you lost or why are you so quiet?  So today I thought I would sit down and write about it.
Many times even though I am surrounded by many people my mind just wants to wander in my own world and just to make it clear most of the time I'm not upset. It's not because the people around me are boring but sometimes my world seems to be more interesting.  I feel there is something  more powerful inside my head than the outside world. And other times I prefer to avoid gossips.

We usually term people who talk less as "boring people" and we all prefer to be in the most entertaining groups. In today's time introverts or may be thinkers are not given the required space. In schools, people who talk less are often left out by teachers. I'm not saying communications skills are not important but introverts need to be given a platform to express their ideas and thoughts about different things. According to a recent study introverts perform better in academics and other activities than extroverts.

Even on social networking sites I feel suffocated because I feel its no longer a communicating platform but rather a window through which people love to peek into others life or other's who are just bragging about their so-called interesting lives.

I feel  it's good to have interesting extrovert people with great sense of humor but because of it don't ignore the introverts. Sit down and talk to them may be they have something amazing to share with you. Even though they might not make you laugh but they might just struck a chord and it might become a life changing experience for you.
