Scribblings... World is big or small

Just as the chapter in Pune nears it's end, things that I waited for long are getting born... So is born a new group in Infy, the UKG group. The group is a common platform for those who belong to the land of gods, Uttarakhand, and are working with Infosys. Had been searching for one such platform for my last four years stint in Infosys and ever since I was posted in Pune. And as fate has it, the group has come up with a bang and not any whimper, just recently... "Recently" is the time when I am all set to pack my bags and move on from Pune, and explore some new places. When four years of hard effort has brought lot of fun, accolades, responsibility and fame (maybe I am also infamous in certain circles, but fine with me. God and Devil, incarnate, that I am). And all I think of is "Oh my god! There were so many of us living in our own holes in Pune, never aware of the hole next door". Till now, I had only met Hemant and Gaurav, in Pune, who were actually my buddie

The need to be told

Had a tryst with people who need to be "told". There is no lacking of those in the world around, is a fact. People need others to "tell them" instead of being decisive enough to know. The growing demand and popularity of these so called God men is a clear indication of where the world is headed. They are self proclaimed "God men" that mob turns towards to be told. These men tell the mob what is right and what is wrong. They tell them the path to the correct way of life. And the mob follows. But the question arises, why to follow? Who told them what is right and what is wrong? Who told them that what they consider a sin, is actually so? Yesterday itself, I heard a sane man argue with Baba Ramdev regarding his statement against Gays. Evidently, as ever the God man put forth his decision, instead of putting forth an argument. Not that I am against all these God men. Some of them are really doing well, such as Ramdev himself who is "teaching" yoga. W
