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”

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...

The Goa Travelogue : Trip of a Lifetime

Our group of friends shifted hostels in the second year and took rooms close to each other and the friendship grew stronger from there with each passing day. Thus was born x0x-ers (3, 4 – 0 – 1, 3) i.e. rooms 301,303,401 and 403. We spent countless hours planning trips, parties, discovering music and other random shit. Goa is a destination every college group plans to visit during their college days. This was one trip we just had to make. After hundreds of hours spent on planning the trip, many last minute changes and one person pulling out we finally managed to make the trip with a bunch of our European friends joining us there for what would be the most memorable trip of my life. I as a writer am incapable of putting in words the sheer fun we had on this trip so most of you would not realise how beautiful some of the moments were. Day 1 I arrived before everyone else travelling from Mumbai. Riding 30 km on a scooter solo from Madgaon to Calungute was a sign o...

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...
