Day 20

"Humpty-Dumpty had a great fall." I am implying this well known quote for the Indian Cricket Team. What a disgraceful display of cricket today. India loses to Pakistan by 85 runs. A series lost. Pakistan is 2-0 up and I am super sure about the 3 match at Eden Gardens. India wins extravagantly. What's the point of winning after two loses with our most fierce opponent. India needs magic. India needs a miracle. India freaking needs bowlers.

Only a few weeks ago the whole set of mass media and our so called senior players wanted Sir Sachin Tendulkar to retire from this form of game. They wanted the most atrocious batsman on the planet to retire, a batsman who can make the bowlers go weak on their run only by his sheer presence. The stupid selectors, senior lame players do not understand that India needs Sachin. I am considering his age and injuries as his mental decision to announce retirement. But today every Indian realized how badly India needs Tendulkar. India mourns tonight. A defeat that should probably kill the game of the players.
Gambhir & Shewag have been playing more with the tantrums, egos and attitude than what they are freaking paid for. They are paid and in the team to come on the pitch and score runs. They are batsman. They have a whole nation's responsibility. They have their age now but they haven't yet grown up mentally. This is what I feel looking at their previous games. Its been an age when I saw a ton from both of them. I seriously hope that Sachin Tendulkar does the Allan Border again.

Every morning when I sip a hot cup of coffee in my hand and the Ahmedabad Mirror in other, I hope to read some good quality news that shall inspire its reader than just informing them about the rapes, murders, loots and politics. Yes, media is meant to show what all is going around the world but I have a different way of looking to it. If I have a 25 page paper that is being read by over a billion people I would certainly not dedicate half of the total pages to negative news. I would probably collect the shit bad news from around the globe and fit them into a page or two. The rest of the pages shall display a collection of positive good things happening around the world.

Media all around the world does not understand that it has the power to rule one's mind. I have friends in media and I know every small gimic they play to make sure that they have more readers. I know some of the news which we read everyday in papers or we view it on the television is self made just for the readership or the viewership. I understand that some cases have the need to be highlighted. But this does not mean that you need to show or print every small thing in context to that highlight. Please there is much more goody things happening around the world which also is craving media attention.

It makes me feel sad every morning when I read the news about rapes, murders, attacks and loots but I would certainly want to start my day with reading something good and not "a minor is raped and the rapist is stet free." Come on, I am just starting my day and the media makes sure that it starts with  hatred towards society. How about not reading the newspaper or reading only the good section of the newspaper? I would have loved to read that but the good section is hardly any. Get that.

It was such a fine start to the beautiful chilled morning. It was all time 8 degrees today morning in Ahmedabad. I so wished it did not get ruined. But the media and Indian cricket outraged the entire day. urgghhhh

Love to all.

Day 19

The past decade has seen a change in almost every possible thing present in the world. But the biggest trend shift which I observed is, "How I Look?".

I have been talking a lot with my social group and the question which I get countered the most is about looks and every thing related to it. There was a time when a complete personality was important. Today, if you have the right fat, cuts and muscle you have 80% secured your place in other's heart. Rarely, I find people not following these stupid trends. Looks are important but not that important which leads you to forget who you really are as a person. This trend shift is only because the younger generation tends to shift there minds towards actors to a great extent. A teenage guy or girl today looks up to John Abraham or Priyanka Chopra for looks not realizing that these people have the resources, finance and the need to look good. 

I have no objections on idolizing actors as your role models but please go deep when you are setting a role model for yourself; coz' if you really are going to follow them, you need to know them with real depth and not reel depth. Idolizing an actor as a person is way different than idolizing a character portrayed by the actor of your choice. The younger generation needs to understand that most of the actors and actresses have altered their looks either by taking supplements or getting under the knife which is not healthy or required in our daily life. 

I want to look good. I too want to have the OMG Hot body but I am not going to forget myself to achieve that. For me, a personality as a whole is more important. I believe it is the persona of the person that gets you fit with your social network. Giving importance on grooming ourselves is more important than just grooming your looks. Looks is a characteristic which compliments your personality; it is not the characteristic which makes your personality. This is the point which needs to get in the head of teens. 

When you spend thousands in a gym, I don't object. I just don't understand the mentality you hit the gym with. Sweating it out rigorously just to look good will harm your body physically and scientifically eventually. A normal human body requires a minimum of 8 hours of sleep and it requires 45 minutes of physical exercise. This tendency of sweating it out just for the abs will lead you to stop sweating it out over a period of time coz' your body says no, which will further lead to ugliness. But if you sweat it out to stay fit, the body will show results effectively and at a faster rate coz' you are giving your body what it needs. You need to stretch a little but not to an extent of its tearing out.

These were all the random thoughts working in my head right now but all I really want everyone to understand is, 

LOOKS are not THE MOST IMPORTANT Thing, PERSONALITY Is. Work on your Personality as a whole and not only your looks. 

P.S: I know this is the most random blog. I still love it.
