Why Can’t I?


"My parents are now not supporting my studies. They don't want me to go to school. Why can't I study further? Just because I am poor?  Or just because I am a girl? We are living in the 21st century, but my parents seem to have not developed their mindset even now. They just want me to do labor and get married somewhere, but who will tell them that I want to complete my education and become something in my life. I feel that I would never be able to overcome the dark clouds of poverty in this life."

She hugged her teacher who asked the reason for her absentee - for many days and then started crying profusely as if all her dreams have shattered just in a moment.

This is the story of a 15-year-old, meritorious girl, Rani. She wants to study and become something in her life. She is dedicated and always tries to attend her classes against all odds. There may be so many girls like Rani around us, who are fighting with their families for their education, working hard daily to uplift their financial status in the society, struggling for their existence. Some succeed in this struggle because they get the support they want, while others are trapped and engulfed by the demon of dearth. This is only one example, more such loopholes are prevailing in our society :/

Many of you must be thinking that - what can we do? It's not our fault if they are born poor, everyone has their fate, and if it is written in their destiny to live a life full of sufferings then it can't be changed.  But isn't that our responsibility as a society to help our people in need? It's obvious that everyone is busy in their daily lives and don't have time to go to each house and help them in their problems, but there may be someone whom we meet daily, who might be in distress – may be due to their financial conditions, maybe due to a social barrier or may be due to some family orthodox. But we are just ignorant enough to make ourselves feel that everything is normal around us.


 Corporate social responsibility is a growing concern for event ...
I feel it is just a lack of awareness that force some people not to change and be regressive in their mindset. Our only effort required is - to aware of such people around us. If we all do our part of the job for the society, then it would be a better place to be in – for you, me, and everyone around. I know many tell you the same thing I am, but the problem is if people would have followed the advice and have done their job towards the society, it was not required to be repeated multiple times. Don't run from your social responsibility, just do it with the same dedication you do any other important task as ultimately this will make your life better! There are many people who do if you don’t then you should ask yourself – “Why can’t I?”

THE LEGLESS PILOT

If I would tell you that there was a pilot who participated in World War II and he was with no legs, you will consider me as a wrongheaded. But now again if I tell you that he was credited with 22 aerial victories, four shared victories, six probable’s, one shared probable and 11 enemy aircraft damaged, then you will be going to suggest some kind of treatment. But Douglas Bader was no less than an exception. There is a quote in Hindi, मन के हारे हार है , मन के जीते जीत i.e. Those who think they'll lose, they lose but the ones who think they'll win, wins and Douglas Bader proved it. Group Captain Sir Douglas Robert Steuart Bader, was a fighter ace in the Royal Air Force. He was the kind of man who could never resist a challenge. While attempting a low-level aerobatic display in 1931, he crashed. Luckily, he survived but both legs were amputated below knees. Born in London, Bader was full of aggressive energy and he was also a man of sports. He was so fond of sports ...

Wars And Lessons(Part 2)

"Out of every one hundred men, ten shouldn't even be there, eighty are just targets, nine are the real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they make the battle. Ah, but the one, one is a warrior, and he will bring the others back."                                                                                                      ~ Heraclitus And in the second part of the series Wars and Lessons, we are going to talk about that one warrior, the one who is the real inspiration for us. But it is not like a warrior or a soldier wants a war. In the words of Douglas MacArthur. “The soldier above all others prays for peace, for it is the soldier who must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war.” But if it hap...

Superstitions

  “WHAT?” “So, you are telling me that you lost the job because of a random black cat who crossed the road?” “YES.” The yes made me write this article. When Advik started preparing for this job interview two years ago, every single person of our society knew that he would make it. There was no doubt about it. Never thought he would lose it for reaching late, that too because of a cat. He is one of the most amazing persons I have ever met. I look up to him so many times. Hearing something like this from him is the last thing I expected. Superstitions are not new to any of us. They have been intertwined with us since forever. The above is just one of the many examples we hear every day. Debugging Superstitions Some deny them while some worship them. It is actually a personal outlook. They are neither myths nor boons but disoriented beliefs born out of ignorance and science causalities from the past. For example, Friday the 13 th is considered bad because of unfortunate...
