Is it necessary to wear Tie

What tie brings with it is an attitude which is formal. It brings with it a sense of respect, respect that others show you and also the respect you have for your profession. Tie is more of a symbolism for being sincere towards one's job and respecting the general order of an organisation.

Accepting all this, what I am against, is "necessary". Living in a free world, a democracy which gives you right, we have freedom to choose for ourselves. We should be allowed and entrusted with making our own decisions. For me tie represents following the conventions and getting involved in a rat's race. It leads you to restricting your own thought flow. The restrictions limit your creativity.

You will never know your boundaries if you don't dare to approach them. The people who did something memorable didn't only raise the bar, they rose the bar and then broke it. Someone like Michael Jackson, he came out with something which wasn't even considered a dance form. He created an almost new dance form. If he had followed the convention, he would never have made a name for himself.

You attain success by passionately following what you wish, whether it's the conventional or not. Mr. Naresh Murukumbi after completing his MBA from IIM-A, didn't take the conventional route of a job but instead started up his own business. Then again when others would have been happy with a 5 crore company, he took the unconventional route and entered into the unusual business of sugar production. An old business much beyond the tie culture and glamour of IIM jobs. Today, Shree Renuka Sugars is a company worth 1000cr and acquiring companies abroad.

You would find so everywhere from scientists like newton, cricketers like Sehwag, dancers like Shaimak Dawar to painters like M.F. Hussain. The cult is started by following the unconventional. Had the people of Tunisia and Egypt continued to wear the tie they would have never attained freedom for themselves.

“It doesn't matter being unconventional in the eyes of the world when your unconventionality is but the convention of your set”

He who knows how to be Poor knows Everything

In today's materialistic world, being poor is the worst thing that can happen to you. Being educated, being moralistic and being principled amount to almost nothing if you are poor. There are no opportunities to come out of that quagmire. Someone who has been through this and has somehow overcome the mountain of difficulties, would possess incredible amounts of determination, will and belief in his ability. Such talent is rare but often results in producing the greats. Being poor teaches you time management, how to make the most of your time to survive. It teaches you adaptability, how to adjust to the extremes of living conditions. It pushes you to extend your boundries and grow farther. It makes you emotionally and mentally strong. Someone who has been facing defeat after defeat but still gets up everytime to face adds so many facets to his personality. You learn only from your mistakes. If you have never faced defeat, it would be hard to survive. To relate to my own l...

Belief in Virtue is more important than Virtue itself

Just pause for a second from your daily life. The life that you are so desperately trying to organise, to make worthy, to make grand. The future plans that you are putting together, the aspiration and the fantasies; put them aside and think about this- "We spend a lot of time trying to organize the world, we build clocks and calendars and we try to predict the weather but what part of our life is truly under our control. What if we choose to exist purely in our reality of our own making, does that render us insane. If that does, isn't that better than a life of despair?" Rationality and irrationality is purely subjective. Also what's better is only a matter of how deeply you apply your thoughts to it. If being happy and content is all that you want in life, then isn't living an insane life in a world of your own, the perfect thing for you. The problem with us is that we don't know what we actually want, and when we do, we hate to accept them and instead...

The God Delusion

People all over the world create delusions around themselves, a persistent false belief held in the face of strong contradictory evidences. In India alone we have 33 crore Gods to choose from, for the 100 crore population; a sort of personalised delusion for everyone. In addition to that there are crores of God men. The social structure is so formed that it makes us oblivious to the delusion. We continously doubt our own abilities, and associate results to the blessings of some higher beings. The degraded self-esteem is what pushes you deeper into the delusion. To quote Douglas Adams - "Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?" The belief that the world was created by some God and that everything in this world is His creation is fundamentally flawed. If he created everything than who created Him. Putting the creation of everything under the ambit of one entity was to simplify the exp...
