Response... A responsibility...

Hello Everyone. I'm the spark that started this nasty moral conflict. I am Abbhinav.

At Abhishek, I see your point on the past few posts, and I really understand what you are trying to bring out( Even if you, as usual, deny it...), the emotion of a person undermined practically his whole life.

But what you also gotta understand is that there is lot more to life than this. I am talking out of sheer experience. Don't think just because we are same in age means we are same in exposure. You would have faced things in life I haven't, I would have faced things you haven't. I have been in that stage of life, where I felt the world was against me. Nothing was going the way I wanted, and at the same time I felt all the problems in this small planet was on my shoulders. There is more to life than this, buddy. Speakin from the heart.

I understand the hatred that you have developed over the past years. But I'm sorry, you cannot at the same time blame all your troubles on the 'dude' gang (I don't know which jackass came up with that name!). They have not come into this world just to harm you. They are not goons. And they are not failures in life as well. They might think about having fun that does not come under your description of the same. Some things may be wrong. It takes time, man. Not everyone is perfect. In that way, I'm FAR from perfect!

I'm in a really abominable state of mind currently, with my grades going down, and not able to perform well in IIT coaching (as you know) and the increased passion I'm getting for the game that I love, basketball. I feel miserable, dissed by the surroundings and the people around me. And now, a moral fight between friends. What else do I want? And don't start blaming this on the gang as well. It is my problem.

But I'll tell you one thing, I have the confidence I can get through it. That is what separates me from you. Sorry, but blunt statements have to hurt sharply. Move on. It is not like the world will end cause of this. Many of my aspirations have ended because of this fight. Band practice and concerts, fun with making those videos, next year's Reverbs, all have been exterminated by this fight. But I will not blame either side. Even though I am one of the prime reasons this fight began, I will not side anyone. That just leads to more problems.

About the 5%, who told you are the minority? There are less people in atleast our school who are the 'dude' type (Sorry fellas, I don't get another term!!!). You just think they are more cause you see more of them. You know why? That's cause they know and love to socialize. That's something you need to learn. You always seem to be in some nutshell created by your own values and ideologies and you do not want to accept others as they are. That is seriously your own problem and you have to solve that. I'm not talking about relationships, I'm talking about socializing. Be different, be proud, but don’t be against those whose ideologies are not, or rather, against your own. They are not enemies; they are just not the same. Accept differences buddy, then only can you accept change.

I know most of you people here, are still against westernization or rather Americanization. Well, learn the wanted rather than the unwanted. There are so many things we can learn from the Americans. But what do we do instead? Talk about a freakin 10,000 year old culture… While not progressing forward. Talk shit behind their back and drop down at their feet in front of them. Mindset people. Change it.

Buddy, the only thing I can tell you is that I'll always be there for you. And anyone who has the heart to accept it and no ego to deny it. Cause that's what we do!!! Everything will be alright bud, have my word on that.

And to the great Mr/Ms/Mrs. Truth, Mr/Ms/Mrs. Anonymous and the Dudes, stop fighting. You guys are not powerful enough to post your own name (Proud of you Aniruddhan!!! ULTIMATE JAMMER!!!) and you guys wanna post comments. Tell me about it.

And to the others who are reading this comment, if you never knew I could be like this, know me now.

Peace out people.

The People Around Me...

I've had many stupid, cheap and cruel incidents going on around in the past few days. People, have shown me, how opportunities can shape their lives... against me. They have taken advantage of the fact, that I, a Peacelover, should not fight with anyone, verbally or physically. They have pricked me, just in the confidence that I won't do anything back. And, if I do, they would go on blabbering about my ideals and values on Peace, just to keep me shut. Is this what I get for trying to help people? Is this what I get for trying to advise them calmly, ending up in my calamity? Is this what peace means to everyone? If this is what is mean, it is nothing different than a weapon of mass destruction, not physical but mental...

I hate criticising people, character assassination( speaking ill of a person), and other nonsensical things of the sort, but what am I left to do? Is this why, I have thoughts like this? So I could be disrupted in every corner, by every friend I have?

I have been demoralised, by trying something new, and seeing it burn before my eyes. But people, don't think I'll give up. If Edison could take 1000 times to make an electric bulb, I would go that 1001 time to make a bulb glow in everyone's heart, the bulb of peace.

I am sure that I will make myself not be affected by these useless things happening around me. I will make sure, that those assaulting me in the name of 'Peace' will feel guilty to such an extent that they would stop doing the same. 

My good old friend called me a 'pessimist' today which really tore me apart. Well, I'll show him how optimistic I really am.

Let Peace ring in the hearts of all...

Peace. 

A Tribute

                                              

Hello my friends. I would like to start this blog by observing a moment's silence for those innocent lives that were lost seven years ago on this very day: The attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

Okay, now let me introduce myself. I am the Peacelover, a boy, 15 years of age, living in Chennai, India. I am an American citizen, but living in India. I want to  fight for something that many people still vehemently oppose, a Global world.

By Global World I do not mean the trade relations, democratic governments, leaders of different countries opposing each other but still shaking hands with each other. No. By Global World I mean a world in which everybody walks together, be it your an American, Indian or anyone else. By Global World I mean we do not distinguish ourselves based on the country to which we belong. I mean a world where an Italian helps a French, not caring that he has allegiance to a 'different country'. I mean a world where there is PEACE.

I know my vision is extremely Utopian, and I also know that many people will oppose me by trying to act patriotic. My classmates act so patriotic, that even sometimes I feel guilty. But a few weeks ago, we had to come to school for celebrating Independence Day and hoisting our national flag. Guess what? Only three of them came! Sounds patriotic to me!

I don't know how this vision of mine will work out, but all those people out there listening to me, if you think in a similar way and are scared to express, don't worry. I am there and I know there are many others. Together we can work and make this vision a reality.

I am not enclosing my blog to more than 90% of my classmates, as I am sure they will be extremely angry with me. Please don't be like them. Let us change how the world sees itself. Let us work towards a peaceful world. Let peace ring in the hearts of all...


Peace.
