Purani Jeans aur Guitar

The iconic college song brings in nostalgia and takes you down memory lane into your college days. Being in the last year of college, we could most certainly identify what the symbolism represents. Youth that follows its passion and cares less for the orthodox. A new generation that has found for itself a profession in unconventional territory. It's about following your dream, following the passion and not caring what the world thinks.

We Gen-next loves to make our own mistakes, but it's also why they learn so much so early in life. We are giving a new outlook on the conventional things. Bringing in a new perspective to everything whether new or old. A man who truly represents the spirit of Purani jeans and Guitar is Mr. Jairam Ramesh. The example might not match your imaginations but he captures the spirit perfectly.

As someone who renewed a timid Department of the Government, into a visible and responsible force without caring about what others might feel about it. He has renewed and brought out into the public domain the importance of an environmentally sustainable development. Working for something which till now in India was almost a rubber stamp department. Not considered worthy of making a difference, he has created a niche for himself and done a great service to the nation.

Another man who is a young entrepreneur, Mr. Narendra Murukumbi, provided an innovative new view on the centuries old sugar industry. He used his managerial education to his advantage and applied his youthful enthusiasm to an old industry. He used his knowledge of finance and innovative thinking to turn around the face of sugar industry in Maharashtra and made it into a 1000cr Shree Renuka Sugars and thereby also changed the lives of a lot of villagers associated with it.

The Purani Jeans aur Guitar is an attitude that allows us to be confident in whatever we believe is best for us. Doing the conventional could never result in anything path breaking. STAY RAW.

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...
