Mumblings and rumblings.

When you start your day, you wake up and think what's gonna be new or that should be the thought but you wake up to the fear of getting late for college. While you run to your college, you slow down to check out some girl or pass a smile to the other or just say hi to some other and end up reaching late stressing your breath. Like is fun this ways and maybe should remain this simple always. Wake up, do what you want to and then go back to bed (in time (with some company preferably)) but hey hey hey! Life isn't that simple and it never will be, it will remain that same piece of crap that we try and live through each day. I don't mean that my life is bad and has no story to it. What I mean is that hey? Where’s the fun? I see these mechanical movements all throughout this campus travel in that I live in, the buses that I travel in, the shops that I vist. Everyone is just so mechanical, everyone is like this mouse which is given the key click clack cloock and that's how it's gonna go 10 steps forward, two small circles, a jump and woosh! back to you and back to halt. Are you a mouse? Or in simpler words a ‘rat’ running this unending race to strive towards you don’t know what! Money? Power? Respect? What the hell is it that we want? We try and follow ways which have been followed by other successful people, forgetting that they made their own way and that’s why they’re there, that’s why the world and you yourself are trying to follow their way instead of anyone else’s.

This is something which is not related to anything much but just the frustration which is building up inside me where everyone including me, all of us are falling into the same patterns. We are doing something we don’t like or we didn’t know that we won’t like. All we’re doing is, following a path that someone suggested and told us that it would be the safest to treat on. I mean c’mon even Robert Frost gave us a hint, but we the sons and daughters of our parents sit here digging into a future which we may not want, which might become a burden and break our shoulders, let loose the boulders and crush us underneath the grey molten solder.

I don’t have an ending to this, no quotes, no poems but just a thought that I shared here. Let’s try doing what we want to and realize it before it’s too late because I don’t want to be reciting stories of “There was a boy who could have become a great theatric, when he acted every man thought that he was the person he was playing in true sense” or “Once upon a time a girl stood on a hill and sang so beautifully that the gods cried and made rivers flow ”. I just don’t want to be that old man and regret all of this. I want to be proud. I wish I can change my life and do what I want to do and before that find what I want to do but I think if someone reads this, he should too.

The Startup Syndrome (Internet)

Disclaimer: This article is not to discourage or malign the ongoing internet based companies or startups. It is an opinion.  'Startup' should actually be the word of this decade. Since the start of this millenia we have seen a new buzz in the youth allover, 'Startup'. With companies ready to invest in ideas which might revolutionize the world and get them some good returns. But we've experienced the biggest wave of these after the current decade started. With the success of ongoing startups as inspiration, more and more individuals and group decided to try their hand at starting something of their own.  "Who wants to work under a boss, when you can be your own boss?" this was what I always heard from some budding entrepreneurs. Some are doing it for the drive, some for the passion, some for the adrenaline rush and some are just doing it because they want to discover. Now out of all of these startups a huge majority is inclined towards one

If one mask is torn off, then let everyone be unmasked.

S&P recently released it ‘Ratings Direct’ on India with a title –“ Will India Be The First BRIC Fallen Angel? ” The S&P which thinks of itself as the ‘Hand of God’ and it is quite true. The rating agencies like S&P, Moody’s and Fitch ( a.k.a ‘The Big Three’) control the investors sentiment and manipulate it. The investors look up to these agencies because these are considered to be most ‘reliable’ rating agencies in the  world and because of this faith ‘The Big Three’ have sustained over the years. Now is a time where everyone needs a little guidance. No one knows what is going to happen. It is too uncertain for an investor to invest anywhere. With Spain/Italy and of course Greece all in a big ‘Financial Fiasco’ (which might eventually engulf the whole of Europe), the US economy downgrading and the magical futuristic ‘Yuan’ being released from the clutches of the Dragon, the world economics is uncertain.   In such dark times the investors search for a knight

Today, I cannot believe in anything

Today, I cannot believe in anything. I feel like I am doublechecking everything I hear from multiple sources to support or to refute any opinion or act. I was born in '94 so I didn't always have the internet at my disposal, I saw it flourish and today I am partially afraid of it. It reminds me of the various books and articles I have read on dystopian societies, which I always thought were great, but fiction. Today, I think I was wrong. I live in a world where news channels show what drives ratings so that more people view the news channels and hence they can sell advertising spots for a higher price. Today I see people sharing their views and getting attacked. Today, I feel disturbed, afraid and confused. In classic dystopian fiction, there is generally an authoritarian government. Fortunately, we're not there (yet). Not in all parts of the world. There would be people watching you everywhere, everytime and the government will have the power to sniff you out anytime t
