Sad that I have to write about this...

Racism is actions, practices or beliefs, or social or political systems that consider different races to be ranked as inherently superior or inferior to each other, based on presumed shared inheritable traits, abilities, or qualities. Source: wiki

If I choose to not comment, it is because I respect all the culture and different religious beliefs... and I choose to ignore the part which is not in sync with "21st century", or which I feel should improve over time.

Strangely, people don't discuss culture or life style to learn from the richness that it brings; they discuss it only to make one sound better than other. 

I have family members with different religious belief (Hindu, Sikh, Christian...) coming from different States of India (Shimla, Delhi, UP, Rajasthan, North East, Karnataka, AP...). How can one be better than other? The life style differs due to the geographical location - how is one better than other?

On the same note, how is it weird if someone choose to have a baby sooner/later? Or if someone choose to retire early/late in life. Or when someone decides to remain single. All these things are individual's choice. Yes, it can be different to yours and yes, it can be difficult to understand it as you are not in the same shoes - but discussing it would only mean that you think your way is THE ONLY (best) way! 

One could be liberal or conservative in thinking - either ways, no ONE way is THE BEST way... Like I say, what works for one, not necessary is best for other. 

It is just too sad when I'm in a group of people who are only busy discussing others "wrong way" - shouldn't one be looking at self before commenting on other's life's choices? 

Well... I call it being rude and insensitive...     

(continuously trying to refine my thoughts...no intention of becoming "rude" myself...)

Price Tag

(Draft) I was just remembering 2 interesting characters from Amir Khan's movie (Bollywood).

Dil Chahta hai - the "Time Table Guy"... It's little weird when people are just too particular of their routine or habits. I too am a little particular and I am sure people find it annoying... ;) But then again, this can be debatable... the higher degree of "not flexible" can be annoying but at the same time if its not harming you, let it be...

- Take it easy when you are with others...

3 idiots - the "Price Tag guy"... Remember?  (The guy engaged to Kareena)... Apparently this type is very common. Their specialty - they end up price tagging each item! Which of course I find very annoying and at the same time amusing. I just find it too shallow. Wonder why they wont just wear the tag? Or put a label to the items at their place...Hmm...

- your price tagged item might not be of other's interest or approved standards...

I'm not very proud of this post but these thoughts did come across my mind... I dont intend to be judgmental. And sound shallow myself. But I definitely cant respect (or may be i should say, cant understand, to be polite) people who enjoys materialistic talk. 

Right balance...

30th March 2014:

Health, wealth, love and peace of mind- the right balance in my opinion defines true success. One can't afford to keep ego before health - that's not path to success by the definition above. 

Beauty of our existence...

5th April 2014: (Draft) 

The beauty of our existence on earth is that all of us have a very different meaning/definition to life :) 

The life style differs, the thought process differs... No two person or families have exactly 100% same fundas of life. And that's what is the awesomeness of life.

I suppose, our ways are right, until it starts to harm others (in any way) ...or start to disturb the basic pattern...

I have my moments of weakness, when I end up judging others on their "different than mine" style of living. But I do realize that life can be defined (lived) in various way (millions of permutation and combination that are possible)... So, what works for one person might not be the best for another (and might not be of any interest to another person).
