I am Back

During the last few days, I was kind of in an introspection mode. I was wondering whether it really matters what one person says in a world of 6 billion people, and how is it that my blog which probably is followed by hardly anyone is going to change the world?

Then I realized that it is not about changing the world, it is not about doing the right things all the time, and not about criticizing everyone all the time. What matters the most is the fact that, we all as a person have a unique identity and everyone should use one or the other medium to express their opinion, anger, happiness, excitement and of course the sheer frustration over INSANITY!!!

So, after a gap of about 4 months, I am back and with a promise that everytime I pen down (oops..type down) something, it would be something which would really matter the most to me and if someone else find it offensive, outright false ..well they should resort to the same approach like mine, start blogging ..or may be start reading about the subject and come up with a logical, fact-backed reply, rather than outright phony lies or sticking with an age old philosophy or something absurd of that sort.

Having said that, I would also want to do something different this time, which I might have avoided for a long time, rather than just criticizing or commenting on someone else, I might go into the depth of the matter and start outlining the solutions for the same. And of course, I might resort to be somewhat acerbic tone, which is characteristic of mine, however, the world has gone beyond the politeness of Queen's English, and now in this century, I doubt if people are polite enough to respect others' opinions, not to mention no one really cares about the plight of the others, who can not read this blog cause they don't have the means to get their basic needs satisfied.

Ultimately, so why is it that, every person's opinion counts??

If you want the real answer then go to history and then you would realize, why it has always been one individual or a small group of individuals who changed the course of the world!!

Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr, Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa, and the likes.

Whereas on the other hand, there were individuals or groups who also contributed to this world, probably in the worst possible way..

Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, czars of Russia, Mughals in India, etc etc..


It is in this regard, that every opinion counts as in democracy every vote counts. A person rich or poor, Einstein or an illiterate redneck, President or the convict, everyone has only one vote to cast and has the same value as the other.


In a similar fashion, every opinion counts, whether it is that of a Nobel Laurette or that of mine!!!
