“Is Suicide a permanent solution to a temporary problem.”

After learning about another suicide in the campus I felt the need to vent my anger at the present deplorable situation by writing this post.  I am seriously sick of hearing about students committing suicide in our campus regularly.

I don't understand why students who are as young as 20 years want to end their life in such haste. Whatever the problem may be, however daunting and hopeless the situation may seem like, how much ever despondency may set in  suicide is not the solution. The problem may appear colossal to you, but if you talk to your well-wishers about your problem they'll help you understand a facile solution for your problem. There is no shame in admitting our vulnerabilities to our friends and take their help.

I don't know the reasons why people commit suicide. But I am guessing two common rationales for people attempting suicide as failing in courses and love failure. Both are silly and childish. There are abounding examples of successful men who failed in their academics. Coming to the second reason I stated, if you love somebody it doesn't mean that the other person has to reciprocate your feelings. But if you commit suicide just imagine the torture the person you loved and those who loved you will have to undergo due to your moronic act.

We are young and we don't know what fate has in store for us. Today it may seem very difficult and almost impossible to live for one more day. But may be after today our fortune may smile at us. May be you'll get a chance to make out with Megan Fox.May be you'll become a famous actor or politician. There is always hope for a better and brighter tomorrow. I was gen reading about success-full people and I came across an article titled 5 Famous People Who Succeeded Long After They Should've Quit. It talked about a certain Joseph Conrad who attempted a suicide when he was young. On escaping his death by a whisker he decided to live and became a famous writer. What I am saying is there is always hope for better tomorrow.


Friends many of you may not be contemplating on suicide but there may be friends of yours who may need help but are hesitant to ask. So I am requesting you, when in large group of friends, along with the usual chit-chat do talk about the fallacies of suicide and make constructive arguments disdaining suicide.

Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it.”

Why do I hate Dhoni?

Recently Dhoni has been taking a lot of heat for his poor performance in Tests abroad (both as batsman and as captain), his differences with Sehwag, his handling of seniors in general etc. I am sure everybody will start kissing his feet if he wins the T-20 world cup again. But somehow I find it hard to appreciate Dhoni or rejoice in his success . Maybe I hate him because he has an unorthodox method to cricket. His helicopter shot is one of the most unpicturesque shot ever. His batting doesn't have that touch of magic that Dravid or Sachin have. But this cannot be the reason as I loved his batting before he became captain. Well maybe I don't like the fact that he defies all logic and plays like a buffoon converting easy winners into nail biting finishes . But he can be forgiven for that because in-spite of giving tense moments to the fans he manages to steer the team to victory most of the time. I should rather say that I enjoy those close matches (only if India win

Is it time to say no for Reservation?

Recently, government announced it's plans to amend the Constitution to enable reservations in promotions in government jobs . As usual those who are against it say promotion should be based on merit and that SC and ST candidates are having more than enough privileges, while those who are for it cite some isolated incidents of harijans being mistreated  and argue that there is still a lot to be done for their upliftment. My personal opinion is that reservation at any level is not good . Effort should be made to give the same quality of education to backward junta as the city bred students have access to. But I know that it is impractical in India considering the motivation level of most government employed teachers. We have to remember that the purpose of reservation is to mould our society into an ideal society where reservation is not required . But with the present reservation system one can never be sure about when to stop it(the reservation system). So I have this id

Introspection

It has been an interesting journey for me after I got my B.Tech degree. I have been living in Hyderabad and preparing for civil services ever since. I believe I developed as a person and my perspectives have grown broader during these 4-5 months. My views on leaders: I used to have a heavily skewed perception of our leaders. In primary school we are taught  that great leaders like Gandhi, Nehru, Tilak etc. are awesome. In secondary school and teenage years we learn about the flaws of these great men. Believe me when I learned as a kid that Chacha Nehru smokes cigarettes and most probably had an illicit affair with Lady Mountbatten, my heart was broken and I started positively hating him. Finally when I reconciled with the truth that all these leaders are just humans with flaws and started reading about these leaders again I realized their contributions to the society. I understood that their greatness does not lie in their virtuosity but on the great impact they had on the socie
