Long Live Gandhiji. Thanks to M.K. Gandhi. Because of his sacrifice my country got the Freedom and now we are enjoying a holiday on his birthday. Indians are the ones who enjoy maximum public holidays than any other nations. I can say that in U.S. there will be hardly 5 to 6 federal holidays while we are having more around 20 per year and apart from that we do Hartals, Band, chakka jam and strike to make it even worse. Mostly the people who enjoy all these holidays are our hard working state and central government employees. But this time 2nd Oct came on Sunday so everyone was upset with this fate. For me it went off in as a normal Sunday, but today I realized what’s need to celebrate such a day in the name of him in today’s world...What we call Practical world?
Morning started by reading the Blog of Dhankar Sir, on Gandhi’s principle. And the day ended by watching launching episode of Bigg Boss season 5. Whole day news channels were showing a special programme on Bapu’s life and Movie channel were showing movies related to him like Lage Raho Munnabhai, Gandhi, Gandhi my Father. But, the day was concluded by knowing housemates of Bigg Boss house. At that moment I realized I only knew bad people in suitable term ‘Unethical people’. I knew loose women like Shraddha Sharma, Pooja Bedi but was unaware of personality like Gulabo Sapera, Sonika Kaliraman who made our nation proud. It was not only me but Himanshu, Gaurav have no idea about them. In a moment, I concluded that the world is attracted towards negativity.
In college also we were concerned about a girl who was having multiple affairs or can be easily reached. We never give a damn to girls who regularly attend college, gets better score, formally dressed. It’s not up to the college, but in society also. Even Saint like Baba Amte who belongs to my place; I didn’t know about his life story but am ever mindful of Gunda’s life and his lifestyle. If someone asked me who’s the honest minister of our country I can’t even make a guess, but for corrupt I can prepare a list. People say that every Politician is corrupt but exceptions are everywhere why we can’t remember those few. Thinking of a person; the first thing that strikes me is his dark side. I know Chief Minister Narendra Modi has taken Gujarat to another level, but what strikes first is his involvement in Gujarat Riots. Congress is also taking good advantage of such kind of behavior and overshadows all his achievement. BJP are doing the same by defaming Manmohan. The world is turning social because of the popularity of social networking sites. In fact, traffic to social networking sites has eclipsed Pornsurfing. That’s a better indication of modern society. Facebook just became popular because people are more interested in other's lives than their own; thus Orkut failed as it was concerned about user’s privacy. People enjoy watching awful breakup in Emotional Attyachar then Net 2 Meet. Now a days no one will ask you how much you love your girlfriend, but will ask sabkuch ho gaya kya tum me?? The world is practical; because it’s hard to define love and its extent but can easily define sex.
I am also the part of Practical world; these are some of its attributes i.e. The reality. If I don’t changes with time, people will change me. Even I am also experiencing the change in me; I am becoming the part of Practical World. Where people want to be part of your success but can’t stay with you in failure. The question is why they will stay. Practicality says that everyone has limited number of day’s .DO not waste. The purpose of life is to be happy but no one can stay happy making other’s unhappy.Gandhiji quoted that, “Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony”. In B-school, on one side we are taught to be Ethical and on the other side they say you have to follow the corporate behavior. It’s difficult to travel in two different boats at the same time. Gandhi said Faith is the function of the heart. In today’s world, faith is not reasonable. If you are showing faith on someone, you are giving chance to destroy you.
No one wants to be Gandhi, neither do I, who choose most complex but powerful tool of non-violence to fight. Nonviolence is the article of faith. Faith leads to love; only love can give you happiness and peace. We are lost somewhere in this practicality. Everyone wants to be powerful in practical world; by doing unethical means which’s too easy. But we have forgotten that, most powerful person is weaker in front of the happy person in the world.
Good habits require efforts and determination, but bad habits require nothing. And maybe that’s the reason why we celebrate the birthday of one of the most powerful men on the planet earth, long live Gandhiji.
