Divided!! I Say We were Never United.

Unity in Diversity… The country's USP... well I don't know who coined this phrase… but it is such a wonderful tagline that camouflages , all the ill feelings and differences in our country from the eyes of the world and also from our own.


One great civilization, in search of which the Europeans dared to explore the rough seas, and which was indirectly responsible for how the present world atlas looks, was divided into 2 nations, and bloodily on the basis of religion. Further ruled by our own countrymen we were divided into states, with divide running into languages, subsequent reservations and cultural policies divided us on basis of castes and sub-castes. I agree the castes and sub-caste existed even before the independence, but with Govt. having politics, policies biased by caste they simply reinforced the ugly scheme of things by simply reversing the hierarchy of stately support to these castes. 60 year old, we still call ourselves a Young Country to cover up the impunity of our Politicians, 60 years up and the number of states has only increased, still looking to increase (with Telengana and Vidarbha, demanding statehood); not long ago did Arjun Singh haul up a reservation system based on Castes. Ever since, Independence we’ve been looking to break up.

I fail to read, what unites us as a Country. We are just holding on to a stretch of land, to fulfill the various dreams we breed. As a nation we do not have a single Common History or a Common Goal… except for the civilization and its future there's nothing. Once we start to renounce this Ethnic Identity we are falling into the ill hand of the selfish Politicians, who are divided on our Unity.

What's funnier is, divided politicians; blame different politicians, for playing divisive politics on Unity of the Nation.  We as people have different views on Division itself.

    There is nothing that unites the country except the dialogue it self which says " Unity in Diversity".

    Although everyone know its not true but unitedly use this slogan.

    Don't you think we are a fairly peaceful country for the number of diversities we have. Apart from some small portion of people who divide the country for their own selfish reasons...

    I think "unity in diversity" ..still has some significance to us.

    Definitely we are a lot more peaceful country given the diversities..

    what I'm questioning is... what is it that keeps us unified, the tradition passed on by our forefathers?

    selfish reasons Unite or Divide us..

    Our Unity and also our Diversities are mere Political Manipulations....

Life in a Belly!!

We are gifted unlike other animals to perform different tasks that are beyond our natural abilities and habitat and also live a life out the physical, mental, geographical and intellectual boundaries of birth. We basically have an option to live a life and adopt a lifestyle that we wish to, unlike our lesser privileged subordinates of the evolution tree. We can be a fish that swims; an ape that jumps; a bird that flies or a bull that tows and tugs, and drive by this need or feel we are or we wish to be something and somebody our body and mind is comfortable with, and it should remain so. Animals on the other hand do not enjoy this freedom, they are anatomical and physically of the same build, and irrespective of their emotional need they are bound be restricted by certain limitations of their physiology. There are no skinny elephants, or fat lions or furry lizards, unless of course their geographical and evolutionary needs drive them to mutate into another species altogether....

A Certain Kind

A certain kind succeed , indeed. It takes special people to take simple activities like hard-work, sincerity and commitment to one's objectives and make them special, and achieve what others have not achieved (keeping aside moral compass of good or bad). It takes special interest and passion to catapult oneself into bigger platitudes and become noticeable and more important to disrupt the established ways of life. They are often the people who inspire happiness and also the ones who contribute to the successes of various other persons who belong to the same kind. These people can live off of their dreams and goals, and the rush of achieving them, there are not here to survive but they are here to succeed, to change the earth, to break the establishment and often be what the want to be, or more than that, they hardly ever let an opportunity bypass them and if there are no opportunities they will carve out one. These kind aren't fazed by the judgement and scrutiny others an...

Not Normal, but yet not Different

The inconsistent or an out of place, I don’t know which would define my personality aptly, but I have been a misfit, for most of my life… yes each one of us do carry a strain of individuality, that makes life so special, but I carry or don’t carry some of it that puts me on a medium which is neither left, right nor center. I look back, every often these days to try and answer the 2 most dreaded interview questions, (at least in my case) “Tell us about Your Self” and “ Your Most Important Achievement”… an unanswered PAUSE becomes a CONTINUOUS reply… I have meticulously tried over a couple of months, to list down a set of achievements and also find an acceptable definition for a mostly redundant term called PRAMOD PAVULURI, and the answer is inconsistent and indefinite. I have been a perfect imperfection; I’m used to being either too ahead or too behind the life around me… I started blabbering small, imperfect words when I was 6 months old, pretty early start I’m to...
