Those inane reasons!

Puff it along people! This is what we are supposed to indulge in and our tremendous contribution to the society will definitely prove to be a boon for us and our acquaintances. Many of you would be scratching your heads by now as to what is it I want to throw light upon in this piece of writing? No this is not unheard of as innumerable newspapers and magazines are inundated with articles pertaining to this dreaded “disease” or “habit” (the way you want to call it).

Let my sarcasm be the domain of the introductory subsection and let’s get the hang of it. Yes, I am talking about the smokers who have either spoilt their lives or of people they are related to. Every smoker has a rationale to provide with if quizzed about his/her habit of smoking. Needless to say, all of us are conscious of the fact that “Cigarette smoking is injurious to health” Infact I have quoted something more than the obvious .All covers have this big fat statutory warning written clearly but to no consequence. Smokers feel a sense of smugness in flaunting that tiny little source of tobacco as if there is some chunk of money coming out it.
Research has proved time and again (now this sounds clichéd) that smoking can lead to various tribulations but still man does not want to learn. Hilarious as it is, I would ask all of u to find reasons behind this so called “addiction”.
If asked, they say smoking is not an obsession but just a source of break as we want to “take off our mind” from work. It’s our way of repose and so we cannot do without it. To add more to it, it’s just like” grabbing a cup of tea or coffee for refreshment. Just an insight into the most inane reasons given by them.
It’s a remorseful state of affairs as this trade fetches out very high proceeds for the Indian government as well as the manufacturers. But at the cost of losing human resources? It’s gruesome to read the data and statistics of the lives at stake .All thanks to the bud. I am not going to give you any “gyan” since it’s superfluous in our daily journals. But just another dosage to all those who have been a part of this peril. It would not take much time to revitalize our energies for something which is imperative rather than channelizing it on something which not only leads to self damage but to mass annihilation. If you don’t deem your lives to be precious then at least do not wipe out gods beautiful creation .The people around you are innocent and save them from being a victim of agony and distress .Start loving others and then you might feel the difference!

Those Mannequin manners!

Beep..Read..one message received .So are you joining the party tonight?That was my friend Geisha who couldn’t just wait to cover these weekend parties as and when she was asked to. Yet another ostentatious display of the so called “ High Society People”.I thought’.

I coudnt understand the modus operandi with which these lesser mortals always stood high without a good reason or cause. Every single person had a story to share, full of their relationship troubles and how many bucks they spent last night. Geisha could never comprehend the resentment in my eyes when I was asked to accompany her to these places. Places they were, of melodrama and fake wisdom. We enter with our tiny miniatures (cameras) to gauge the push and pull of that materialistic world. Bar tenders exhibiting their art as beautifully as they could, discussions full of that “whos who” of the party tonight and angst between various members present for reasons they knew better. Who wants to know if the other person next to you bought a Da Milano or a Gucci? Any dud who has money can indulge into these temptations! You are astounded to see that prim and proper lady in that party who is just like a mannequin displayed with the best of clothes a store guy owns.Once the outer shell fades away then is the chance to delve deep inside her thoughts and inner beauty. If she wins your heart with that,indeed shes way too perfect! But such people are rare to be found!
We spend hours thinking about wealth and the hard way to get it but we forget what we are as human beings. We definitely have come across our elders saying” Bhalai ka zamana nahi hai, thoda tez banna padega” . I say in the hustle and bustle of earning our bread and doing the best of things to be at par with our peers, we should not lose our dignity. Be as ordinary as you are! Why should one forget the roots and sanskaras with which our parents have nurtured us. Life is about keeping our virtues intact inspite of all the footfalls and unpredictable situations.The use of our intellect will make us even wiser one day!But alas! That’s the sad story all of us have to share. We don’t have the “time” to think about our karmas but all the time to discuss and critize what others did and where they went! The almighty has endowed us with magnanimous light in the form of our soul but we never dig hard into it. Its time we take a step forward to become that child of the divine as we entered this world innocently years back. Vanity might not be a food for our souls but our humanity indeed is!
