73 Years of Independent India

              74th Independence Day

Independence Day , I remember this as waiting for Jalebi(sweets) in the queue during school days. As I have grown, I got know what freedom is, we have fundamental rights. But, does every citizen of the country avail the freedom? A woman inside the boundary wall, who is a prey of violence, does she has right to speak against evil? A 10 year old boy, who works at tea stall, does he not have right to enjoy his childhood? A transgender, who is not accepted by any company, do they have the right to employment with respect? A meritorious girl in countryside, who is going to marry this year, does she has right to build her career instead of being housewife?

The list of the questions is too long and answer we all know expressly. It is the easiest thing for all of us, sitting comfortably on sofa and posting tricolor pictures to claim our patriotism. We claim our love for the nation, but how does it matter, If we can't see the compulsion of the woman, can't give joy to the boy, can't feel the pain of the transgender, can't see the dreams in her eyes. Because, people (including them) makes the nation.

Hope, one day everyone will have equal freedom. 74th Independence Day 🇮🇳♥️

Pride Month 🌈

Few days back, a friend of mine called me gay and I got offended, I started defending to prove myself. The same happens with you too, right? Somebody addresses lesbian, gay or by other name(we all know), we just get angry, actually we don't like those word for us. But on the other side, we write,speak for LGBTQ rights. 

We are trapped in social media generation, in showing off. We don't understand them. We don't interact with them. They are humans too, God created them as we. They are not different, they are just special creation of Almighty. 

Actually, We try to understand any couple on the basis of their sexual relationship. It is so normal to us to feel attracted towards someone of opposite sex. Whenever we hear the word gay or lesbian, we have perceptions about their physical intimacy. We don't understand that they have feelings as we have. Can a boy live with another boy only for sex? Can a girl live with another girl for the physical relation only? No, they love so they live together as we do. The simple thing we are not accepting because we have grown like this. This Pride Month is ending but it is our duty make them feel, they are same as we are. 

Racism

Racism is a mental illness and unfortunately, we do not know how to fix it or fix it or not. Less or more racism lies in all of us because we have grown up like this.

By watching films where hero and heroines are blonde, TV ads to make your skin fair or by learning white means good and black means bad. We raised with this thinking.

All we have read the story of Lord Krishna, he was not blonde boy but when we see pictures of Krishna at home or watch mythology series, Shree Krishna is portrays as fair skinned. This is why because nobody wants to see their hero in black. Since childhood, I was little confused about the poster hanged on wall of Mahatma Gandhi. Every year on 2nd October, we celebrated his birthday, I always used think why this picture of Mahatma Gandhi is shown as fair skinned while in history books, those archive photos shows he was dark skinned man. Again, we don't want to see our freedom fighter as a black skinned man.

Another argument is it all matters in presentation, but how colour of the upper of side of body matters? A popular quote 'Don't judge a book by its cover' then how someone could judge a person without knowing their thought, capability, talent, spirit, etc. How a person could be hired without having skills? How a person could be loved without having beautiful heart? How a person could be a human being without having pure soul? So without these all fair skin is useless. 

This mentality grows with a person. You all travels in metro or local trains. Have you ever suspected any white man as pickpocketer? Have you ever read jokes on blonde people? These perception has been created by some people and it been passed to us by generation by generation. This mentality is as virus. Its been spread in all over the world by many centuries. This mentality drowning the humanity. 

Powder and cream for the white skin has become usual but we have ever wondered why the blond is leaning important. We are just following the blind race. Nobody teases fair skinned people for having fair skin. But it is usual to keep nicknames(kalu, kale , kauaa etc.) of black skinned people like they did some crime by being black. Dark or blonde are just genetic. It doesn't have any relevance with the personality of an individual. This simple thing we don't understand.

 

Beard

Beard, As I studied in high school it works by the harmones function. But the scene is just opposite of it . Beard-mustache became the trending symbol of manhood. I'm thinking, how not having proper beard at certain age is the matter of shame? How grown hairs on your chin could decide your masculinity?

    

To judge someone by their facial appearance and throwing illogical reasons to feel cool is such a cheap act. It shows sickness of your mental health. How your dashing beard and warrior look whiskers could make you proud. If you do not have pure heart as a true man should have.

Having beard or not having doesn't matter at all. It could be matter of choice or as I said, it is the work of harmones. Before being a Man be a Human.

Dear beardo, don't be a weirdo...
