Stereotype wipe

We have been taught to stereotype people from their appearance while we are all well aware of the quote " Don't Judge a book by its cover!" Although some try to avoid this, we still stumble over the assumption that All Indians are religious but is it not true that Not all of us start our day with flowers, incense and prayers. But our politics is rooted in religion! We are so drowning in this practice that it has clouded our entire society, blocking the development and independence of each individual. The problem only begins with the sharing of your observations in the patterns of people's behavior, your style of stereotypes is influencing the person you are talking to , thereby making their insists to also follow these stereotypes. If only not everything we thought about had to be shared and passed from generation to generation. Is not such an oxymoron to be saying everyone must be on the road to development in a world where we are still stuck in talking about what a person would be like if they were from a certain part of the world. Is not a shame to say that we are constantly developing when people are simply assessed by the amount they have studied or their achievements? What is this type of development? Are we the future generation taught how to improve and solve the problems the past generations have left us with or are we taught how to spoil this society further and make sure we think only along this set of rules set for a so called "successful life"?
     What if this weekend you are walking on the road and you see a person who doesn't fall into any of the stereotypes you have set? Would you say that the person is mad or alienated? What if you saw a girl who could talk independently for her needs and not depend on any male member for her living? Would you say she is manly? 
     Imagine if this world were free of all these assumptions and false beliefs. If we all could ask questions with the utmost discipline. Imagine the amount of change we can make if we simply see a person for what they are. Then, would this world be changed in the needed direction?

it's really happening

When it all happens too fast  When you realise sitting around isn't an option anymore  When you feel the anxiety building  When your heart starts beating faster When your mind races imagining the impossible When your surroundings are quiet and dark but your gut pushes you to get out  When all that was once a routine slowly starts to end  When all the mistakes replay in your mind  When all your dreams aren't only what you see in sleep but the fuel to make everyday brighter Maybe that's when life's happening  Pulling you to make your decisions and draw your plan  Urging you to succeed in such a phenomenal way that even you had never imagined  Just random feelings and thoughts  - BHARATHI SENTHILKUMAR

WAYS OF THE MIND :D

  A churning storm,   a hidden rage,   But on my face, a practiced page.   No messy feelings, just cool clicks, A clockwork heart, with hidden tricks. The ways of the mind. What happens when you are constantly questioning things you cant change. Maybe that's the turbulence of the mind. The pilot who trains to fly through the turbulence is maybe the one who becomes successful. -Bharathi Senthilkumar

Survival vs. Success

It's a common misconception that survival and success are synonymous. While surviving challenges is undoubtedly a significant achievement, it doesn't necessarily equate to a fulfilling life. This post attempts to give perspective into the nuances of survival and success, exploring how they intersect and diverge. Historically, survival was the primary goal of human existence. Hunters and gatherers faced daily threats from predators and environmental factors. Their ability to adapt and overcome these challenges was paramount. Today, while our immediate threats have evolved, the fundamental need for survival persists. However, success is more than just staying alive. It involves achieving a sense of fulfillment, purpose, and well-being. This can be achieved through personal growth, career advancement, meaningful relationships, or contributions to society.
