we shall overcome

Come out upon my seas
Curse missed opportunities
Am I, a part of the cure
Or am I part of the disease

..................................-Coldplay

Often while talking to my parents I thought of others as - Why do they keep making the same mistakes...Why are they being so selfish....Why cant they be normal and fine people...as in why?..when we dont think ill of them..do they have to think ill of us...

Similar situations occurred while talking to some friends about some other friends..where I found myself to be in company of people who found me "good" and "highly sane"..compared to others.....

All this had bugged from time to time since early childhood..since i always thought if "everyone is everyone" then in that case they must also have the similar conversations with some people of their "sphere"..and eventually be recognized for their goodness and hence if they are good..then what am I?

Now this wasnt much of a problem since i pretty soon realized that different people have different meanings of whats good and whats not....
Now this in itself was a major major discovery for me..and a hell of a problem too....as in if there are different meanings then what should I choose...

This is made very simple for me by newspapers and other media...and i finally found myself a perfect categorization for nearly everything...- Majority vs Minority

I see "India TV" and i see what i call the undisputed winner of "the biggest bullshit of all times" hall of fame...and then my Media savvy friend 'anika' calls me and tells that at India TV everyone has got a 100% raise due to market highest TRPs......I get it...they are the majority and i am the minority..

I look at Hindus getting all religiously sentimental at the mention of the "Setu Samudra" project with their religious crap of not breaking down.."lord RAM's gift to mankind"....without realizing how much fuel that project will save India every year...I get it...they are the majority and i am the minority..

I look at everyone talking about doing something for the betterment of the society and doing something for the mankind...and yet i see more than a million dying every year and just about a handful bothering to donate their eyes...(they wanna see the heaven when they reach there)....i get it...they are the majority and i am the minority..

now this one may seem a bit strange,,but what the hell...I talk to people...I talk to a guy...a Haryanvi guy.. A JAT or A GUJJAR maybe.. he talks to me as if he's doing me a favor...He speaks shit...I pull myself back...I LET IT GO..he rejoices over his "success" and i pity him for his "Sick and tiny" brain...nothing changes....He is a king in his brain...and i think i am still sane....and then i think the only truth is..."nothing changes"

I sometimes long for the time...when everyone will be the majority and no one will be the minority....i pray for the day when i shall overcome and they shall overcome...when "we shall overcome"...the day when the majority will start to think before they act and the minority will act rather than just BLOG..i wish that time will come when we shall overcome...


I look at the Love of my life....she says.."you'll move on"...i cant say anything...and i know...somehow....she's the majority and i am the majority....and i guess our love is the minority

yes i get it now....
