Auto Waale ki kahaani

Hyderabad is generally blessed with Sun monopoly. It rises in the east and make even west of Hyderabad warm. So during the daytime it is often not possible to go somewhere as it is very SUNNY down here !!!
Recollecting all my courage, I took my stand and finally broke myself out of my so called flat and came out in the blood scorching heat. I came out took an auto and start commuting to mid stop to movie theatre. I was sitting and all of sudden a long time back incident came to my mind...
I was in 3rd year of my college.For every weekend I generally try to go to my home, it was just less than an hour by tempo. In Kanpur tempo is very common public commuter, it is also called Vikram.
So I was returning from my home and it was late Sunday night. I was sitting almost alone in tempo and driver was very close to IIT. Then we had a conversation which is very difficult to forget
"Bhiya aap IIT mein padhte hain?. Maine kaha haan. Achha hain, main bhi graduate hun, and I can also speak very good english (Decent pronunciation). mujhe ajeeb laga. to maine poocha aap kanpur se ho ? wo bola haan. main yahi kalyanpur mien rehta hun pariwar ke saath. mere do bacche hain. main pehle ek dukaan mein tha whan mujhe samaan bechane ka kaam mila tha. ab B.Sc. ko aur kya milega saab. aap log to engineering karte ho naukar mil jaati hain. hamaare maa baap ne bade man se hume padhaya. maine B.Sc kar liya fir uske baad kya. Paisa tha nahi humaare baap ke paas, to B.ed wagera kar nahi paaye warna teacher ban jaate.
thode din samaan becha, saab bhut bekaar kaam hota hain. Drivery aati thi, baabu ke ek dost the bole tempo khaali hian drivery kar lo. tabse drivery kar rha hun. paisa theek mil jaata hain kam se kam samaan bechane waalon se zyada kama leta hun. ab shaadi bhi ho gayi hian. aur wo dheere dheere muskaane laga.
"
Then IIT came I took my bag down and gave him the money and didn't even wait for the change and just walked.
Is this the India we are living in. Literates people don't have option and go to that job which definitely they don't deserve.
Today I am again sitting in Auto picturising the same person and all of sudden I see a big board in front of me. Some add about a school :
A kid not more than 2 yrs old pictured as Einstein.
Bull shit, just faking the mind, nothing is being built in india, nothing for science graduate. Only engineering may get u job here. But still there are thousand and thousands of Science Graduate and what do they do ?

Second Inning

Winding up my busiest month of life I finally got the opportunity to get in position for second inning. This doesn't seem much different from Cricket. Either I will be bowled out, or I win or the third option is still alive There will be a draw. Any options I face I have to play. There is no backing out left :). Now around four weeks are passed and I am finally acclimating myself, I still don't feel much changes expect now I stay awake late night studying rather watching series or movies. Looking back I recall two most important incidents till now 1. The welcome week, the long standing ceremony of IIM-A. It was something different and really savoring. Tastes good only if you are on the other side of table and you know you have cooked an excellent dish. On the side I was, I was eating it loosing my gustation. and 2. There are hell lot of courses and hell lot of reading material. But one course which is different from any other is understanding ethics. Course is a bit more ...

Time has come Series 1

Baby is born. With hand closed showing how determinant he is. As we grow up and life pass we open our hand gradually. There are only two possible reasons for it. Either you want to embrace new persons, make friends or you want something. Both of the reasons may be good sometime or may be bad. It all depends on the current scenario. There is a famous saying in Hindi, 'In bad time you have to make even a donkey your father', so you might be opening your hand for friendship in a similar fashion. But do we really realize the meaning of birth we have taken. I don't know how many of us do realize that fact. Even I don't know what I am supposed to do on earth, besides eating and sleeping. These two only seems to be my life.

Pervasive Odor of Democracy

Dream An effective democracy is one in which practices such as equality, liberty and fraternity have spread throughout society. This should not limit itself in governing relations between states and citizens but also relationship among citizens. Effective democracy gives rise to redistributive pressure from below. Public goods, safety, common law, redistribution of income should not be only in written form but also in practice. Without this substantive dimension, democracy becomes unsustainable. “Political democracy cannot last unless there lies at the base of it social Democracy”. On the social plane society is divided into mountain as high as Mt. Everest and as low as Mariana Trench. This condition also prevails in economic plane of India. We proudly upheld the notion of “One Vote One Value”. Notwithstanding, the unparallel terrain of social plane systematically denied it. Social Democracy is a sacred marriage of equality, liberty and fraternity. It is the natural balance which gets...
