Two Sides Of A Coin

In the wake of the Rally recently.. there is always two sides to everything.. and sometimes even more..

Starting with my personal views.. enough is enough of being suppressed with emotions and feelings for 50 years.. but then again.. are we really taking all the opportunities out there.. i wonder.. I was one of those who decided to stay home and be updated about the rally via technology readily available.. does that mean i dont support them.. not really.. i am neutral about the plights highlighted..

Sometimes, somethings are blown out of proportion.. everyone is a party to the wake of Indians at this rally dont you think??

The government.. in ensuring certain policies continues to support their 'likes'.. they incentives, the quota system.. the cronyism..

My question remains.. the rich get richer and the poor poorer.. so who is to be blamed, i wonder.. My fellow indians, cry foul the loudest someone told me a couple of years ago.. perhaps its true.. but what is the point if you make noise and no one's heard you..

For once, i saw the indians holding hands and marching at the peaceful rally.. for once we saw them working hand in hand.. for once we noticed that there was a good mix from all classes.. for once we noted that their personal luxuries was put aside to join for a common goal.. to be heard.. and i think heard they were..

The Kenyan proverb states.. STICKS IN A BUNDLE ARE UNBREAKABLE..

Unite we must to uplift the Indian community..

A Matter of Perspective..

All through my being raised in the Indian community, i am cautioned about what other people would think.. it was a mantra we needed to remember..

Many many years down thereafter.. with a renewed view that is somewhat slanted.. i now note that it is all matter of perspective.. what is right and what is wrong is all matter of perspective..

Just when i thought it was safe to pledge the thought.. another incident takes place and i am right smack in the middle of it..

So here i am ranting about it... and making a huge U-turn to revisit the slanted views i have..

So tell me if people think you are slightly on the darker shade of brown and you think you are on the more neutral shade of brown... does that make you darker shade of brown or otherwise.. If you do not like apple pie and go out for desserts with a group of friends.. would it be fair to ensure that all your friends don’t have them too.. or better still.. your friends force you to have the much despised apple pie..

It sounds a little silly asking someone to see and understand things from our perspective.. such what another thinks its their perspective and does not necessarily need to be yours..

Such, let's accept and respect their thoughts and get a move on it..

Just a thot...

reinventing


my thoughts to reinvent myself continues.. with the beginning of this blog.. whether i am seing from your point of view of mine... the fact remains that it is my perspective and nobody is right or wrong..

Opportunities comes and goes.. The truth of the matter is not whether it came or went.. but whether we used it to our fullest potential..



just a thot..
