I think I have known enough history to understand what humans did to each other over last 3000 years. Seen enough war movies to understand the feelings of people who are involved in killing or get killed.

From the beginning I have a doubt, why do we always blame the leadership for what a country and its people did to other country and its people? There are lot of instances in our 3000 years of history where a country attacked other country and killed people in other country without any regard to human life. There are instances when one race thinks they are supreme than others and started killing all other people(in millions).

In those cases, who is wrong? Country is nothing but people and who is running it. One person can not do anything to any other country. He/She has to do it through people.

People still exist, and if we think we have not changed, then those instances can occur again and again. If we think people have changed, I would like to see one real proof of it. I have not seen it yet.

How long it will take for one particular set of people start believing that they are superior race compared to others?

I will try to tell in simple terms.

• I don’t care if PM is in or out. If some one is worried, then let PM be out.
• I don’t even care if Judiciary is in or out, and if some one is worried, keep them out.
• Is every Govt officer is in its radar? If not make it big enough to put every one.
• We need it at every stage, center, state, district.
• Don’t waste time on useless arguments about one are two people in or out. Think about the majority.
• If you want to do fasting, then do it for speedy proceeding to bring the law into action.

Finally I agree that I am the lazy stupid who did not do anything to support the anti-corruption movement. (Yet)

Like most of other people I do expect the or or more of the following from my friends.

• Inspiration
• Knowledge
• Wisdom
• Consistency
• Trust
• Entertainment

Let me explain each one a little.

Inspiration:

I am basically a dreamer. I dream to do some thing. But may not be putting my total effort into it. If my friend is doing some thing like that, it will be a lot of inspiration for me. It might be in any category*. I love to copy. What i am is almost because of what I copied from others.

Knowledge:

This used to be very big point for me till now. But now it is reducing its importance. Because what ever we want to know is almost there on Google. But it is still a very big thing for me. A friend should be a source of some knowledge(The one I care about).

Wisdom:

Even with all these knowledge we can not do good without proper wisdom. It is nothing to do what what we know. It is all about applying what we already know. How we react to simple and complex things. This is what makes character of a person. I expect wisdom from my friends.

Consistency:

Without it, we are sure that we will not reach our goals. We 100 things try 1 but that too we don’t do it as we thought of doing. We say one thing and ignore it after some days. Here is where I need help from a friend. If I say some thing which I can not do, then better they force me to think twice. And once I said I will do, better they force me to stick with it. Of course it is very difficult to decide when to force and when to allow. That requires wisdom on their part.

Trust:

Without it we don’t call it friendship right. We must have absolute trust on each others words and deeds (Not abilities).

Entertainment:

A source of entertainment. We spend a lot of time thinking of how to enjoy, but most of the times we don’t find any. A good discussion with a friend is a very good source of entertainment. There can be many other things too.

Ramesh told me this 2 days back as a summary of the all the knowledge in one sentence. Yes, I agree with it.

I have tried to use Facebook many times, stopped using in between and again went to it. But I was never happy. The problem which you all may know is ….

Every friend is same. What I post will be shared with every one. Which is useless for 90% of my friends. At any time I post things which are relevant only to 10 to 15 % my friends.

I have tried to see if there is any groups concept. I was not able find.

Then I thought if there is some thing to beet FB, then I think some thing which provides this feature. And I am right.

I believe that Google+ is exactly what I have been waiting for. And there will be massive shift of users from Facebook to Google+. It will reach Facebook user levels in a rapid speed, a speed 10 times faster than the Android adoption.

Then I thought, Is it possible that Facebook introduces this features sooner and save some users? I don’t think that is possible. People are happy with the thought of moving on. They need some thing to move on to. It is in our nature. And I don’t think it is easy for FB to imitate Google+. It is not technical issue, it is philosophy.

That is why I said “This too shell pass” (Facebook).

Eagerly waiting for Google+ account.

This is the movie which I think have inspired “Black”. It is a story of a teacher’s struggle for teaching language for a girl who is blind and deaf.

1. Look for long term benefits before looking at short term pleasures.
2. We are heavily influenced by the parents. So we need to be extra careful when we become parents.
3. With determination, it is possible to change people. But most of the time we lack the authority and will.

Wonderful movie seen in recent times. Some times I wonder may be I belong to past than present. Story is about a young princess who wants to get out for a day from her boring routine. I don’t know why our movies lack the seriousness and integrity which is exist in movies taken 50 years before. I laughed so many times in that movie, but there is a no single comedy scene as we expect it.

1. Enjoy the life, and make it beautiful.
2. There is a lot of pleasure in love, or even in the pain of love. It is worth to fall in love.
3. You will not get everything you want in life. But still we need to move on.
4. And a good movie is worth 10 times than an average movie. I wonder why the rates are same?

Even though I will not recommend any one to watch this movie, there is still some thing you can learn from this stupid movie.

1. Do not watch a movie just because every one says it is good. Many people have told that this movie is good. For me it is completely opposite. One of the stupid movie in recent times.
2. If you love some one, say it directly. There are some people whom I like(Yes, Girls only). Lets see, when I will be able tell them.
3. No matter how beautiful it seems, stupids things are stupid. For example, marrying a blood relative is very bad for kids. It is a kind of sin in my view. And it must be avoided in all cases. I certainly hate this movie for that one point.
4. Think about others also. I don’t know how they become hero & heroine when they have played with the lives of other people, just because of their stupidity.

It is the main act that many people associate me with. Till now it was the primary way of expressing my unhappiness. In my last post I said I am trying to control it.

Seems like other than at home I was successful so far. Now at home also I will practice this. Next time I shout, my wife will get what ever she wants on the next day. Seems like a pretty good idea for me. Lets see how many occasions she will get me to do things I don’t want to do.

If there is some thing that I ever wanted to change in me, it is my tendency of getting angry with people. There are two sides of me. One side I think I am much more patient than many other people in many situations. Other side I know that I am very much impatient when dealing with some situations.

I want to change myself in the way I express my unhappyness to others.

It does not mean that I don’t express unhappyness. It only means the way of expression will be much more easy to handle for others.

I have some plans of  how to do it. Do you have any suggestions? What do you do when you get angry? Or when your expectations are not met by others?

Even though no one have suggested much in reply to my previous post, I started some changes my self.

Today I went for morning jogging/running. Hope to continue it always. For that I need to get up at 6AM for that I need to sleep before 11PM.

So the changes for today are….

• Sleep before 11PM
• Get up before 6AM
• Go for Running or do Exercises

Oh  wait, Sleep before 11PM means no second shows. Is it possible? I don’t think so. My wife will kill me. Anyway as we don’t see more than two per month, I think we can getup late on those days.

Wish me strength to maintain the consistency. I strongly believe consistency is crucial in life. If we have it, we are kings.
