Popularity, Success & Skill

I want to be popular and I believe we all want to be popular among our colleagues, friends’ relatives, and in the society for some or other reason. So what’s wrong in this? Nothing.

Being popular is really great; even very few people get this opportunity but the problem is which path we choose to be popular. There are very few people who choose dignity above popularity and they always try to be themselves. Some people choose certain way where the become popular, get all the fame they always wanted but it cost them their dignity & honesty so when time goes on this popularity fades away along with the time

They demand a responsible position but they do not know how to carry them. To be a great sports person you need to have the right skill and passion for the game, to be an actor who needs to learn the lessons of acting, to be a great politician you need to understand your people and their feelings. These set of people they do not believe in learning they always seek for a shortcut which will take them to the top of the Everest but they do not know to sustain on top; you need to master the right skills.

At this current era everyone wants to be popular using all the possible ways. There are many people who want to be popular so that they can create a space for themselves in politics, sports, entertainment etc. They may/may not have the required skills but they use their money, power and create hype about themselves through media by promotions, controversies.

We all know media plays a vital role in the development of the nation as its citizen. So I believe media should also take the responsibility to provide a right platform to the right person rather than just running behind the BREAKING NEWS to gain TRPs. They should not encourage people who use the media to gain some popularity for the wrong reasons.

There are so many topics to be discussed and this is one among them. I don not know who can help it or how I can help it to resolve but I believe if you really want something passionately then you will get it but not necessary to choose a shortcut for it. Just be yourself and work towards your dream.……

Let’s do it…..…

Once again we are going to see the high intensity million rupee drama of IPL (Indian Political League). It has been an experience of roller coaster ride for us and I believe our political leaders must have experienced the same.


I am here not to promote or demote any political party or their so called agendas. I am here to recall our experiences of last five years which we have moved together side by side with lots of ups and downs, hopes and tears. During this course of five years we have achieved so many milestones even we lost so many of our near & dears in many different tragic incidents that happened.

Let us glance through some of the issues which are still in our minds while moving towards the future with lots of hopes and aspirations.

- Global economic melt down.

- A troubled neighborhood – Jihadis in Pakistan and Bangladesh. LTTE in Sri Lanka, Ulfa in Northern-Eastern Region, Naxalites in Andhra Pradesh, Chattishgarh, Orissa and above all we have some home grown jihadis too.

-Attack on heritage hotels like Taj Mahal & Trident Hilton in Mumbai. Serial bomb blasts in many parts of India

-Attacks on the innocent people in Orissa, Mumbai, and Karnataka on the name of religion and region.

-Fighting over the issues of Cauvery and Kashmir since many decade

-Gujar agitation in Rajasthan

- Attack on Indian embassy in Kabul, attack on ethnic Indians in Malaysia

There are countless issues on which we have been debating, fighting and blaming each other but it’s not like we have only issues to fight for but there are many achievements on which we take pride as well.

- Successful completion of the mission Chandryan

- Wining Oscars by the musical maestro A.R.Rehman, Resul Pokkuty, Grammy by Ustad Zakir Hussain or wining gold in Olympics by Abhinav Bindra.

- Wining the World Chess title by Vishwanthan Anand, Booker’s prize by Arvind Adiga.

- Mukesh Ambani displacing Lakshmi Mittal to be the richest Indian in the World

We have many issues to fight for and we have many points to take pride. A leader is as good as its followers similarly a country is as good as its own citizens. It’s a cliché to say but yes if we are creeping that we do not have charismatic leaders, good infrastructures, opportunities then no one is responsible for this other then WE.

We have to take the responsibility to bring the change, to achieve many more milestones for our country, to choose the leaders through a responsible and unbiased voting.

Let me be honest and tell you that I have already crossed few years from the minimum age of voting but still not voted anyone but over the years I learnt it that its better to vote and take the responsibility rather than blaming the country and its leaders.
Let’s vote during this general election ……………..


This is an appeal to all those young Indians like me who have not experienced the power of vote
