DON II - Movie review

Don II. it’s beyond average. My rating will be 6 out of 10.

Overall the movie is good. The reasons why you should see this movie are:

1. The Director is Farhan Akhtar
2. It’s splendid Dialogue delivery.
3. Don’s sense of humor at serious situations(It reminds me of James Bond).
4. Action sequences are comparable to Hollywood.
5. Thoroughly entertaining and the movie progressed with a good speed.
6. The suspense at the ending.
7. Last but not the least, it’s charisma of SRK.

On the negative side, few things will catch your eyes:

1. Why SRK suddenly disguised as Hrithik. Even height and voice also matched (As suggested by my friend, it could have been better if it were Big B instead of Hrithik..:D)
2. There was some space for acting for other actors in Don Part I, but part II is totally SRK focused there was no scope for Boman Irani.
3. The movie could have been better if Farhan maintained the looks of SRK same as First or last scene. This is what happens when you perform in two movies (Ra 1 and Don) together.
4. The film show its first symptom as Hindi movie when SRK fall in love with ROMA (Priyanka Chopra) and director didn’t let a chance to show his India blood by not killing Roma tough she was hit by a bullet.
5. Those who have seen Ocean 11 or MI, won’t be able to watch the movie without a thought in their mind. 

Lastly, it’s a life line for SRK after debacle of Ra-One.

Imbalanced RULES

Rule should be same for everyone. If it is applied to batsmen, same should be applicable for bowlers too. In any sport, which involves physical activity, keeping all your energy and strength throughout the game is a fine quality. But there are times when players may seek for replacement due to injury, dehydration etc. and cricket is the only game where you get help from your co-players. 

Abolishing runner in cricket means strengthening the fielding side. Former Indian captain Sunil Gavaskar correctly said, “I would also like to suggest that there should be no water for bowlers at the boundary end. They bowl one over and come to the boundary where energy drinks are waiting for them”. So if batsman doesn’t get oxygen, bowler also doesn’t merit it. Even, in case a bowler is injured either he has to complete his over or that over should remain incomplete. And that’s how bowlers and batsmen would be treated evenly.

Also, it’s not that taking runner is always beneficial, most of the cases we have seen lack of co-ordination between batsman and runner and thereby getting dismissed by run-out. So runner in most of the cases is a least choice.

So you can’t simply do away with the runners, if you want a fairer game for each side (batting & fielding), you have to have holistic view. A rule should protect the interest of both the bowler and batsman uniformly.

Like all other recent changes/rules, I believe, this rule also will live for a shorter period…:)).

Durga Puja at different phases of my life.

 

“Dong”, “Dong”, “Dong”, “Dongggggggggggg………”

Once the final bell rang after the Holiday notice in school, it’s like the freedom when a cow manages to set free from its collar. It’s the puja vacation; so no books, no study, no homework and only playing.

When I was child Durga puja meant to me boundless amusement, fun without any restriction or forbiddance from parents; it’s to run, play hide and sick all day, having delicious homemade foods at breakfast-lunch-dinner, playing with the newly acquired toys anytime, pandal hopping at night until you are tired enough to ride back home on father’s lap or shoulder and finally fall asleep with the dream of next day’s anticipated fun. The fun used to start much before the actual puja when first pair of new dresses come in my hand and  never seemed to stop even after the dashami/bijoya as we used to visit all our near and dear relatives for next couple of weeks to exchange the good wishes, love and respects. And it finally used to conclude once the school was open. 

This is how childhood days used to spread wings during the greatest festival of all festival. At childhood, Durga Puja was synonymous to endless fun as there was no word called sorrow or pain in my childhood lexicon. 

 

Then came my youth with all its charm. With the growing age friends became my integral part of my life at the same time the definition of puja had changed in my life along with its periphery. Puja is then not only Pandal hopping, it meant “Chowmin”, “Egg roll” at roadside stall concluded with a must cold drink or Ice cream, gazing at beautiful girls and standing in long queue for a glimpse of Durga Idol and finally returning home mid night being depleted of energy.  Then my pandal hopping was not only confined within local area but it also stretched over river. Kolkata had become the hot destination for puja time. After the initial youth days, life got a new dimension since I fell in love. That was one of my best puja when, for the first time, I accidentally hold the hand of my girl in crowd and walked a long distance without talking any words; the image is still fresh in my mind and can feel the excitement too. Though, after that, I gathered more courage and hold her hand many times deliberately. Good time does not stay long but we cherish our good time because it is so, because it is ephemeral. I had had that type of puja, also, when I did nothing; spent the whole puja sitting at the bank of river Ganga as it was a time of grief.

In my youth, Puja was more than food and pandal hoping. Puja was the best time to be with your friend, family and dear ones it was more of resonance of the same activities that happen throughout the year.

After that much water has flown in the river Ganga and I have come across so many pujas, each time with a new surprise, fun and my consciousness grew with the growing adulthood. Then a time came when the golden period of life came to an end and I joined a private organization to become an engineer typist for giving a shoulder to my family or, better, to earn money at the cost of life. This is my present, a full-grown man with all his imperfections. The view has changed now; I see and analyze the trivial things of life, noting goes unnoticed from my eyes. Being happy in a happy moment is not just all; it’s about realization of self in happiness. Now happiness is, liking whatever I do, from an insignificant thing to a big one. After joining the work field, life has become very hectic. Holiday and leave appears to me like sweet dream and sometime I feel socially out casted for not being there at home on many social occasions or for my odd working hours. Not just Durga puja, any Public Holiday is like a stress relief from long work life. Durga puja now means a much anticipated few day leave, it means uninterrupted sleep at night, chatting with good old friends after a long time, recalling the childhood memory of puja, spending night at Puja pandal and also intake of vitamin “A” i.e. Alcohol without which no celebration is complete.

So many pujas have come, so many yet to come in my life ahead; the color, smell may be different but key ingredients remained the same i.e. the three F’s: Family, Friend and Fun.

Zero tolerance for corruption

Good, bad co-exists. There is no way to iron out the bad completely but we can extract the good as much as possible keeping bad at bay. Not everything is bad. At a time when both options seem insatiable, we have to select an option which is less bad. 

A Government, selected through the democratic system, has all the power to do all necessary adjustment or to implement necessary policies but he has two responsibilities as a selected head of the country: good governance and accountability. Whether the present government is competent enough to steer the wheel of the country is a moot point, but accountability is a bigger matter; it has to explain whatever steps it is taking; this much transparency should be there within the Govt. So at any point of time we have the complete right to criticize our own Government if, any time, it goes astray. But at the same time we can’t subvert the power of highest institutions like Parliament, Bureaucracy.  In a vibrant democracy like India, where everybody has the freedom to protest or freedom to express his opinion, we can’t blackmail Govt. by the extreme power of protest: fast-unto-death. Among 13 non-violence movements of Mahatma Gandhi, during our freedom movement, only three were fast-unto-death but none of them was to extract particular demand from British rather they were meant for uniting the whole country against a particular cause. Also this type of movement was justified at that time to bring democracy in a non-democratic system, now it’s outdated. And if it becomes successful then it may open floodgate of many such movement in future.  

Till 15 august, 2011, I was confused, thinking whom to support and was maintaining a silence over the whole matter of Anna Uncle’s movement, but it can’t help. Better I opt the less bad option which is apt to the crisis. Then I thought if I call Anna’s way of protesting is an outdated one then I have to call the agitation in Arab countries a crime. J If this is blackmailing, then let it be, as long as it’s for a noble cause, as long as it facilitating our country where both of the ruling and opposition party fail to carry out their corresponding responsibilities. Selected Govt. may or may not take the suggestion of the common people but govt. can’t gag the voice of its detractor whether it’s an opposition or common people like Anna Hazare. The Govt. or opposition is preaching in for maintaining the supremacy of parliament but when opposition creates ruckus in parliament or walk out from parliament to show their disagreement, nobody cry foul for undermining Parliamentary supremacy. We may or may not support Anna ji but we can’t just turn our face off from the noble cause he is fighting for. I believe, this Lokpal is not the only solution or not that Lokpal bill will create a corruption free society but we should think positively and Lokpal bill is the first step for that. It’s not that only the Govt. employees are corrupted, common people or civil society is also corrupted; but we need to start the process of controlling this. A fish start rotting from head to tail so also the corruption. If our leaders show us the right path by setting up example their good vibes bound to cascade downwards. So the correction process should start from top towards the bottom of the pyramid. 

Let’s join our hands in pray for “Corruption free society”.

Jai Hind.

Jago mango people Jago!! Now it’s time to raise our voice against “Bandh Politics”.

One of the most evil results of human civilization is “Bandh” (in English general strike). This is the most powerful means used worldwide to protest against the injustice or to fulfill a political goal but the easiest way to establish political identity in India. As per the communism theory, this is the last and most effective weapon to set the authorities’ teeth on the edge.  It used to be the last of all protests when all other doors were closed; also it didn’t involve violence if the demand was not reached. 

In the history communism, Bandh, Hartal, General strike all these means of protest were in a society, when there was problem of capitalism, when there was no means to increase public awareness or when there was not so active media. May be this was right at that time and in that kind of society, but, now-a-days this tool has lost its meaning due to its overuse not only by communist party but  also by all small and big parties in India, especially in West Bengal. Common People (I mean apolitical) see it as a mere political vandalism which means a loss of business, loss of time, loss of money, loss of property overall depletion of economy. On any Bandh, people stay closed in home or spend it as a holiday; it’s not that they do it to show solidarity rather they do it out of fear or to avoid harassment. When other countries around the world have chosen other means of protest, we still love to be in the 19^th century dragging the country backward. 

The state with the maximum Bandhs in India is West Bengal  where the average number of bandhs per year is 40-50. So we can imagine how many crores of rupees they loss each year. Yesterday, I heard news that out West Bengal Govt. is looking for a law or legal way to counter this evil way which stalls the human life. I don’t know whether it’s a gimmick or not; but, respectable Chief Minister, if you could bring such change to our state averting all kind of political repulsion, not only the people of WB, but also the entire India will remember you as a leader, a leader to be followed. 

Quality Education, that’s the urgent need of the hour.

Change! What does it signify? Does it mean the change of the label glued on a wine bottle or the change of the entire wine bottle with its content? Our new west Bengal Govt. has pitched in for many educational reforms, one of them is abolishing pass-fail system till class eight. I believe this is just a cosmetic change or a noble idea without any real material in it. The very purpose of education is awareness or creating innovative brains or developing the society. In the present learning system, students, below 10^th standard, come to school or read books not for brainstorming or for knowledge gathering rather they do it for their parents or out of a compulsion. Many of them could not do with this after few years, and opt to neglect study because of financial condition or lack of interest, or repeated failure or they find a better option to live with. 

In our country’s educational curriculum class eight is seen as one of the most key milestone as the course from this step could be considered as the 1^st building block of higher education and it’s quite a different path from the earlier classes. The average age of the student, in class VIII, is 14 and from this pre-adult age, many qualities like: self-esteem, consciousness, self-realization etc. start blossoming. It’ll not be wrong to say till age 13 a boy or girl is in his/her childhood days and they start exploring their pre-adult age afterwards. What I’m trying to indicate is, from class VIII a student start realizing, irrespective of their reason, what education is all about or, at least, we can make them understand.

 Education is our primary right but at the same time we don’t have any right to snatch the most precious time, childhood,  from the children putting them under curriculum burden. On the contrary, it can be argued, why not then abolish pass-fail till class X? We have to think in a comprehensive manner. To improve the quality of students, there should be a healthy competition among students; at the same time without taking the extreme position we have to impose the restriction somewhere within the path. The object should be to give utmost opportunity to the students for maximum learning without impairing the quality of student.

In bigger picture it can be said, the consciousness, the passion or the curiosity of student about study, knowledge raise once they are mature, once they understood the meaning of education or once they think about their future and that begins, I think, after the class VIII. If the student, who opt to leave the school after V, is given chance to continue till class VII, may think (being conscious or grown-up) twice to be back on the journey of knowledge for better future; if not still we will be benefitted as the average educational qualification of whole country will rise. It’s true that good students will always be there to take the education seriously, it’s not that the burden of education (read exam pressure) makes them better student; they becomes good because of their knack, their culture, their passion to be the one among of many. Not that they will be least interested or their quality will degraded due to absence exam-pressure. Why can’t we think that they may get ample opportunity to go astray and think beyond the syllabus. In these circumstances, it seems, it’s a welcome initiative of our Govt.

Having said this, I want to make stern allegation against our education quality. Whatever I said earlier is possible only when the knowledge distribution system is changed. Whatever knowledge we get in schools is just some written knowledge which they need to remember till the exam comes; which subsequently brings private tuition in picture for this read-for-exam system. This indicates that the quality of education in the schools is not per excellence. Why should a student come to school, just to be literate or for a compulsion? Before anything, student should be made to realize (that’s not being done really) that education is not a burden, it’s for their better future; it can give an alternative (or better) source for bed and butter and above all to make one a good human being. So education should be a lure of bright future than a compulsion. So until unless, the quality of education is improved no reform or corrective step can be beneficial. 

(PART III) Love: A feeling without expectation.

 Previously

It has been long time, though it doesn’t really mean to me, the condition doesn’t show any sign of ebbing. I wish I could delete the feelings for you.

Mind has not changed its purpose but it has changed its course, the way of looking into the matter. Earlier it was the sky of autumn; sometime cloudy, sometime clear sky, now it’s the sky after a heavy rain; clear blue sky where there is no trace of cloud. Now it feels lighter in my heart after being certain that what was not mine, will not be mine ever. Also I took no pain to admit that the esteem for you in my mind has multiplied few times seeing such dedication towards your belief and not for being distracted by me.

Expectation, which drives us crazy, is the main perpetrator for all kind of pain. If we don’t achieve what we expect, it is translated into pain, frustration or negative feelings. But what, if there is no expectation and you don’t change your course of action or your work or your feelings, there is no question of bad feeling or disappointment. I have preferred to follow this way which not only has kept my heart occupied, but also multiplied my endurance limit. Now I really enjoy my feelings, the feeling which I feel looking at you, perceiving your presence, smelling your perfume, noticing your activities and above all perceiving your existence around all my thoughts, without the feel of any expectation.

 Love; I adore this subject matter more than anything in my life no matter in which form it comes to me. I can love anyone I wish but it’s not that she also has to love me. What I have learnt in this course of life is that love is not about gaining or losing something it’s about a great feeling without any anticipation or better it’s a Sweet-Beautiful-Soft-Melancholy tune which you can perceive but you can’t hold it or control it, it’s intangible.


Caution: This is just my imagination not a true story.

No God, No Science, The concept called Nothing........

Some say it’s God, some say it’s luck/bad luck or some say it’s coincidence.
I say it’s nothing, it happens just like that. There are some incidents
which you can’t explain by using any algorithm or any theorem or may be its
actual reason yet to be deciphered. But there is no harm to assume
something; it could be God, luck or anything like that, which help you to
abet more clearly which brings the peace in your inquisitive mind. Everybody
does need a philosophy which is colored either by a misnomer called science
or a hypothetical entity called God to explain or understand all the matter
around them.  
In geometry we always need a reference structure to locate a point on the
geometrical plane.  Similarly we need a frame or a structure which could be
used to fit to all terrestrial matters. Without the invent of atom it would
not have been possible to explain the matter or without the invent of
Newton’s laws it would not have been possible to explain all the universal
forces. If you think deeply, you will find that science, though it’s
manifestation comply with the scientific conclusions, is basically an
assumption which is created in an ideal environment and which is most
plausible framework to explain all universal matter.  There may be many laws
or theorem which is empirically proved but somewhere down the line there is
an assumption. Seeing the shadow of an object, we take it granted that the
object exists. Similarly the atom or the Newton’s law is that shadow in
science.
 On the contrary if there were a real divine power, the earth could have been
a place close to heaven. The concept of God or divine power came from the
very human instinct called fear and it is being spread among people to curb
human desires and negative powers and to deter bad people from doing wrong.

Whatever we see or perceive or understand is the outer surface of bigger
object. Science help us to understand those superficial matter by some
framed law and theory but we are yet to penetrate the inner core of that big
object or it’s beyond the reach of our scientifically-thoughtful  brain.
There comes the role of an inexplicable truth or in theist’s view God when
we don’t have any explanation. When we ask a believer of science why
suddenly everything conforms to certain law or which power enables them to
function according to scientific principles. He will probably fumble to the
answer of this question but a believer in God will love to answer this
question; but that does not prove the existence of any supreme power; it's
just an alternative.
In my opinion none of the logic or framework: the invisible power, called
God, or the omniscient entity, called Science, is true.  Every single event
on this earth is a standalone incident or like a distinct event. You can
introduce a concept like God or Science to simplify the matter but the
actually it’s nothing it happened just like that. The plate is served to
you; it’s you who will decide whether to eat by spoon or by fingers.

Need vs Necessity

Every child born on this earth has a basic human right i.e. right to live happily. To survive on this earth every human does require access to few basic resources like food, shelter, clothes, medicine, etc. These are called necessity which you should have as basic proponents of life. Whereas there are certain things we desire to make our life better like AC room instead of a clay-tile covered roof top, Biriyani instead of rice-dal meal or 4 wheelers instead of two wheelers. These are called needs. We can still live without AC Room, Biriyani or 4 wheelers but we need these to make better off our life. 

There are so many reservations in our country for backward classes in order to pull them back into the mainstream or to eradicate the discrimination in society.But the privilege is being given for generation after generation. If father gets a job with hefty salary why his son does need to be protected under same reservation facility. Is his salary not enough to shoulder the burden of his family? This is the reason why many general cast people are deprived of even a simple job to carry his own expenditure. In the process of protecting one group of people’s interest we are putting other people at Jeopardy. The wheel is turning rapidly, very soon the minor would be major and major would turn into minor, it’s not too far when general student will need a “quota” or “reservation” amidst dominant backward classes.

 We live in a county where around 50% people leave below poverty line we should think twice before we use any privilege. It has been almost 100 years since the reservation was coined but the problem of backwardness still seems to be prevailing dominantly. The problem lies not in the efficacy of the law rather in the implementation of the same. The economic condition of the Indian people should be improved irrespective of their religion, race, caste, sex and place of birth. Moreover more we talk about reservation or more we point out people based on their type, more we remind them about their class or more we divide people. We should first fill up the basic necessities of the people then we can think of their needs. All the people under various reservation policies should think before they opt to be under such policy about whether it’s their need or necessity. In this way many people under general category but with poor finacial condition may avail the prievelege instead.  So it’s our responsibility to draw a line between need and necessity.

(Part II) Love: Heart vs. Brain

Previously

 

It’s very hard to walk the self-promise as so many distractions are luring me. If someone eats from a decorated plate in front of a hungry man, he can’t resist himself from looking the man eating. Similarly what earlier appeared straightforward seems very difficult to me to hold back myself looking at or talking to her. My heart is giving a good fight to my brain. 

 I don’t believe in God but whoever or whatever way I got these eyes, I think there was a terrible mistake. As this pair of sense organs doesn’t get moist when I feel pain or whenever it requires doing so to abate the situation. Though this blunder is compensated by a muscled organ which beats with the cause to absorb all sorts of emotional surges but it’s hard to control its stimulation.

 Brain, the most critical and superior part of body, functions very logically and pragmatically. Brain may initiate the thought process but it always keeps its feet on the ground. It considers all aspects of a matter and gives realistic judgments. Whereas heart always flows with tide of passion or emotion whatsoever the end is. Even, knowing the writing on the wall, heart never slackens its grip on hope. People say if you listen to your heart, you are “emotional fool” but if you listen to your brain, you are “intelligent” and “practical”. It’s futile to raise the unanswered question “Who came first egg or chicken?” I mean who started first: Brain or Heart. Instead of solving this puzzle it’s better to decide whom to listen. My heart is insisting me to see her or talk to her but brain says: "Don’t hope, don’t talk, don’t even look; you know the reality. Or better forget her”.

 The script is already written I have no part in it, so sooner I understand this better it is for me to walk in reality.

Caution: This is truly imaginary; there is no reality in it.

Love: A Hope against Hope

Love; Once a wise man said “True love is like a ghost, nobody has seen it”. I call it Hope against hope. You don’t know whether you will get it or not but you hope that your hope will come true.

Who said love has to be successful or it should get a final shape or it should have a happy ending. Whatever final shape it gets, nobody including me take the proud to be on the side which has got no result.

All theists love God. They sacrifice their lives, live a austere life for only a single wish to see Him.
I don’t know whether I have made any sacrifice or not but somehow I am luckier than them. I got to see You everyday, I talked You, smelled You, even unknowingly I got Your touch…I don’t know how did I get such a strong intuition about you that I can percieve your every move closing my eyes or can smell your presence.

Knowing that you already have chosen your home and you will take someone else’s hand to set out for that home, I could not admit how much I……..
I still laugh at the letter lying between the pages of my diary, don’t know whether to keep it or throw it..May be I could not give you the proposal, but I took lot of pain to beg you “Your denial, Your silence”.

Less you talk, less I see in your deep eyes, more I able to suppress the breath of my “Hope against Hope”


Caution: This is fully imagination; there is no real story in it.

West Bengal Politics: Evil vs. lesser evil.

People normally get a choice between a good and a bad thing or good and better. But it’s very unfortunate that some time we have no other alternatives but to choose a bad option. Similar situation is prevailing in West Bengal politics where two main parties in fray are equally responsible to spoil the political culture in West Bengal.
Why politicians have to be bad? Why people join politics when there is nothing to do? Why can’t we talk/debate on politics without being bracketed as a supporter? Politics, suppose to be an area to serve people directly and to earn high dignity for such a noble work, has become a dirty place where politicians like to throw mud at each other and the term Politics always come with adjectives like corruption, scam, rhetoric, allegation, counter-allegation, propaganda and so on. It will be wrong to say that that there is no good politician but they never rise above his party rather they always turn out to be a representative of party not that of the people.
We will be replacing goons of one political party with that of other party, but we are left with no option. This assembly election is, I believe, not a battle between two political ideologies or two political spectrums, it’s a conflict between our gloomy present and bright future.  So the onus remains on us. It’s not about choosing the right thing at the right moment rather choosing the better option apt to the situation.

” When Sachin Tendulkar travelled to Pakistan to face one of the finest bowling attacks ever assembled in cricket, Michael Schumacher was yet to race a F1 car, Lance Armstrong had never been to the Tour de France, Diego Maradona was still the captain o…f a world champion Argentina team, Pete Sampras had never won a Grand Slam. When Tendulkar embarked on a glorious career taming Imran and company, Roger Federer was a name unheard of; Lionel Messi was in his nappies, Usain Bolt was an unknown kid in the Jamaican backwaters. The Berlin Wall was still intact, USSR was one big, big country, Dr Manmohan Singh was yet to “open” the Nehruvian economy.It seems while Time was having his toll on every individual on the face of this planet, he excused one man. Time stands frozen in front of Sachin Tendulkar. We have had champions, we have had legends, but we have never had another Sachin Tendulkar and we never will.”

” I am proud to be born in Sachin’s Era. I don’t know if  a human being could get a nomination in World’s wonders list. If it were so, Sachin certainly would have figured himself in 7 wonder list of World.I recall a movie, titled “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” (It would be rewritten as The Curious Case of  Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar )..Same miracle his happening with Sachin. More he ages more his form, cricketing skill  flourish. Now-a- days  a futile debate is going on whether sachin should get Bharat Ratna or not. Who the hell are we, will give reward to God of cricket ? Rather I believe there should be a Prize named “Sachin Award” which would be given to a cricketer performed well in his cricket career.”

Like the lower age limit, there ought to be an upper age limit for a Voter.



Children are born with minds like blank slates which, from the first minute, will be written or filled with positive and negative experiences from the surroundings. With the growing experience he structures his conviction or a doctrine which will form a base to support the edifice of his knowledge.

At earlier stage of life, human beings are prone to changes so also his belief as a belief is nothing but the generalization of a past knowledge/experience and past knowledge/experience and is bound to be replaced with a new one. In the early days of his life, whatever he or she perceives is not always what the truth is since it’s too early age to get a holistic view with his or her limited knowledge. With the growing age and the growing knowledge a man tries to find a common pattern and subsequently draws a comprehensive conclusion to set his firm beliefs.  

At the age of 18 a boy or girl becomes aware of his /her surroundings or he/she becomes circumspective about the incidents happening around him. So he or she develops the acumen to differentiate between right and wrong. Considering this the lower age of a voter is set to 18.

Unlike supporters, those who are not involved in active politics think comprehensively each time before they exercise their franchise. The fate of the politicians largely depends on those unpredictable voters and the politician remains focused to persuade those voters.

As the man ages his inquisitive nature gradually shrinks and so also his thoughtful-critical-analyzer brain slows down. He is no more perturbed what he used to be about the political happenings or the current situation. After certain age human beings are not susceptible to change; he has already built a wall around him with his so called bricks of knowledge which he has gained from the moment of life. He feels comfortable to stay within this familiar barrier with all his fixation, knowledge or experience. At this period of life it’s not incorrect to say that his decision or judgment about the politics is not very comprehensive as his decision is either from an old predilection or very much situational. So in politics this kind of voters should not be the decisive factors where each vote counts.

Like other fields where opinion, decision, knowledge, philosophy matter to steer the wheel of progress, an upper age limit should be an essential criterion for voters too.

 Colors of Life

When a child is born he doesn’t possess the ability to distinguish between the colors because of his immaturity of brain. All the colors appears White to him. Ironically a child trust everything whatever comes to him or whatever is told to him. He is yet to discern about right and wrong or good or bad. It’s not so hard to understand why a child is considered as holy and innocent as almighty God.

As the time goes on the child’s cognitive power is honed by his parents and relatives, especially, by the culture of his immediate surroundings. His brain starts distinguishing the different colors present within white but he is yet to differentiate accurately all the colors from white. But he notably he prefers Yellow as he progress more towards youth.

At 18, the child comes out of the shell of adolescence and commences his Green days. Green the symbol of youth, age of breaking all conventions, all rules, age of dreaming. This is the most crucial period of life when he can see all the colors of life, but, still it’s too early to comprehend the true sense of all the colors.

In his youth, when he falls in love he finds himself as the worshipper of Red and start forgetting the other colors. But he is disheartened or becomes unsuccessful he starts singing in Blue

Once that youth set his foot on world of work, he becomes a full grown man. He is now matured to the fullest degrees. He now understands the difference between Black and White i.e. Evil and Good.

Now, it comes the responsibility of his married life which is combined with love, sympathy, compromise, trust and responsibility. It’s like a rainbow in his life consists many colors of life.

One day that man becomes parent and bring a new life into the world. With his child the man once again the starts finding the old colors which he has forgot or tries to see the colors in the eyes of his progeny. In this way he brings some colors in his life which becomes Gray with the years passes away.
