It all boils down to spending time
with people who match the tangent of your wavelength, build up the curve and provide food for your thoughts. If you meet a
person it is not possible for them to escape their persona or the way they do
things. There are some days though much like today, that you end up over thinking life, okay maybe I’ve
had to face many such days but some days are just hopeless. At times you need a break,
a day of no connection with the rest of the world, no work, no responsibilities, no crowd but just two people, two minds and a million contemplations. So, you escape all traps and you exercise your right of freedom over your life.
It’s good to be spontaneous once in
a while. To alter your mundane routine, you are convinced to skip work and trade it for something totally
different, it’s like an exciting twist on the drink of life. Some days you just
want solitude and those are the exact days when someone makes sure that you
aren’t alone. As annoying as it can get at times, it’s what tags them cute.
It is commendable the effort they make to see you smile. Sometimes all you
desire is some soothing company, invigorating conversation and great music. This is the best stress buster one can undergo.
The ebb and flow of conversation, how playful it can get, has always been THE thing that attracts me. You never experience a dull moment when
you intently listen to a person as they share their knowledge and combine it
with your understanding, belief and perception of things. Discussions leading from mundane topics for instance general temperament to life struggles, experiences of people, anecdotes, engaging issues ranging from trends, art, music, movies, literature, poetry, books, politics or governance.
For example, the presidential
elections of the US. The race to lead one of the super powers is high on the
agenda. The cat fight between the Republicans and the Democrats, their missions, visions,
benefits, ruthless banters, all call for one extremely debatable conversation. The Brits and we have it easy,
elections are pretty straight forward a deal unlike the US, which makes things
even more interesting. The race to presidential elections has been made quite
controversial especially by Trump, how he’s the leading Republican is scary, it’s
almost like watching The Apprentice on repeat. His belittling statements
towards womenfolk, his shameless approach, his cynicism and his naivety in the
political field questions his candidature for leading the country. My
preference is Sanders followed closely by Biden. But the most interesting part
of the campaign though is Clinton and Trump to say nonetheless. It’s almost like a
debate off between Congress and BJP.
How we choose our leaders says a lot about the mindset of the people of a country. I have my own biases when it comes to politics. I haven't witnessed any other politician as amazing as Atal Bihari Vajpayee ji, a multi-faceted personality, skilled poet, great strategist, awesome public speaker and in general a solid good human being. He has been by far the most suited Prime Minister than any I have ever seen. And when I compare him to other politicians, pardon my french but I know some words to share in their fake glory, he still comes up top.
It takes a lot to stick to good governance and actually practice it, making the system more transparent. All over the world, I'm truly happy that a pivotal element of policy structures is now focused on gender parity, empowerment of women, safety and other pertinent women issues, the vulnerable and the minorities. It's a play of power hunger and power struggle as always but it is at least targeting a more responsive society by critically analysing the past and the future scenarios and needs. Key cornerstones like equal partnerships, protection of human rights, strengthening the policy framework, informed decisions, better judiciary involvement, a non corrupt law enforcement along with better convergence and participation of all stakeholders may give hope to the country. A broad consensus coupled with sustainable human development might actually help us achieve some stability and a better vision for the entire nation. That's the dream.
Cheers to a good day!
