Trivia 1

  • Two people can get married, but more people are needed in a divorce.
  • Anything is fair in love and war.
  • Late to remember and quick to forget.
  • Politics is a self-serving business in the name of the people.
  • He is like the fool who stays up all night trying to find out how he goes to sleep.
  • Life is either a dream or a nightmare. Superstition is when one is obsessed with either.

Confused on everything...

There was a time in my life (student life) when I could draw a line between opposites. Good was good and bad was bad. Innocent was innocent and guilty was guilty.

Then reality came to my world (professional life) and made me confused on everything. Now I can't tell the difference even between black and white.

Politics is the magic detergent that washes all stains, so that the same person returns like fresh laundry again and again. Get power, abuse it, step down and go clean.

Perhaps we have failed to audit our own behavior. Everyday we are swimming on calculator, trying to accomplish a life that is so-called professional standards.

The conflict of ideology


All ideological conflicts have claimed innocent lives in the name of larger interests. Check it out the list:

  • Mao Zhe Dong is responsible for over 30 million deaths in the name of communism in China.
  • Lenin sent 4 million and Stalin sent 20 million Russians to death over their struggle for communism.
  • Adolph Hitler's Nazi madness cost 35 million lives during the Second World War.
  • Pol Pot killed 2 million Cambodians and
  • Che Guevara ordered hundreds of people to execution under his watch.

Responsibilities…

What has been happening to us?

Everybody talks,
nobody listens.

Everybody seeks,
nobody finds.

Everybody looks,
nobody sees.

Everybody pretends,
nobody intends.

Everybody owns,
nobody shares.

Everybody commits,
nobody cares.

A Successful Man...

A successful man is a conglomerate story. He wants to become many in one. He is a business magnate, director of many companies, owner of a university, owner of a restaurant, and owner of a clinic. He wants everything money can buy including talent and dignity, proving that not only had he triumphed over poverty but also achieved a position in life to dispense what he could not get when he was growing up.

Corruption, chaos and conflict...

We have got more chiefs than Indians, more leaders than followers, more singers than listeners, more newspapers than readers, more banks than customers, more TV channels than time to watch, and more mouths than words.

Everyone is thinking, everyone is writing, singing, talking and initiating, yet we are not moving.
