Corruption within us

Image
“People stood in a line waiting for the train to arrive; the entire queue was maintained properly. The time the train arrived and the doors were open, everyone had to choose between breaking the line and remaining within the line. In a very short span of time, one has to decide, what is right and what will give them an undue advantage. And here we see most of the individual breaking their line and entering the train.” The point which I am trying to put here is that, when someone doesn’t have an option to get corrupt, he will always feel like he will never be corrupted, but the actual test of a person will be when he has an easy option to do corruption but then also he chose to be uncorrupt. Corruption has become a menace throughout the world. Most of the elections are fought on this agenda still, we see no visible improvement.  Does that mean it is incurable or we might see it in a wrong way? We all are aware of political and economic sphere of corrupt...

Success is relative.

The first thing which comes to my mind when I think about life is a very famous quote by world-famous writer-“All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women are merely players. They have their exits and entrances.” – William Shakespeare Since my childhood, I have always heard lectures about working hard and being successful. There is a never-ending race in everyone’s life for being successful. For someone getting money would be a success, for some grabbing power would be a success or someone longs for a specific profession. Not only it is defined by career path but also people relate it to relationships. For example successful son, successful daughter, successful husband, successful marriage etc. If we talk about time frame than during the early civilization, success was being alive. With time when the human’s lives become little stable than eating good food and living simple lifestyle was a success. During the world wars, defeating the enemy was a success. Sometimes a revoluti...

Depression decoded

Image
“My eyes were wet and my legs were shivering. May be I was taking a wrong step but I wanted to end all these feelings and thoughts which have bothered me since ages. I knew that my decision would hamper life of many but I was helpless at that time. I wanted another chance in life, I wanted to live again, I wanted to smile but there was a chain which was pushing me and led me to take such a drastic step.” Every year 0.8 million people commit suicide worldwide which results into shattering of so many lives which were revolving around them. We all work so much to ease the lifestyle of human civilization but it’s very sad that irrespective of so much advancement in science and technology, we are still losing so many innocent lives. Sometimes it’s very difficult to understand some issue if we oneself are not part of it . The biggest drawback of depression is that it’s very difficult to quantify and the entire diagnosis depends upon the openness of the patient.   There is...

Let's fight depression

Image
There was a time in my life when i used to hate the word "suicide". Like all other people, i was taught since the childhood that depression is a term which was made to hide the weakness of a person. Whenever i used to hear any news about suicide, i used to feel pity for the person. But as i grew older, i realized that living is more tough then taking your life.  It feels so tempting for me at some point of time to take my life and end all the miseries one is going through. This transition in my attitude didn't happen in one day, but series of events were responsible for it. But i am glad that my life made me realize that depression , anxiety or any other terms related to it is not a sign of weakness but a sign of strength one possess by accepting the fact that he needs help.  Unfortunately life taught me this important lesson by taking life of someone very close to my best friend and shattering my own relationship with someone i loved. This blog is a very small in...
