Whoops a daisy

All this time, I had not got a single chance to post any blog. Main reason - studies and school tension. What with all the CCE nonsense, life has lost its meaning for students and teachers of class 9th. I must say, the batch of 2009-2010 in 10th is lucky. They don't have to go through the nonsense we are facing now. Alongside, continuous pressure of teachers, friends, classmates, parents, siblings etc persist as usual. Nowadays childhood is not the same as it was before. After all its a changong world, but still, the current generation and more to come are under a lot of pressure. As and when they are exposed to new ideas, their thoughts are messed up in a muddle and hence the pressure increases even more. In earlier times, kids were the most innocent beings on earth who had the purest soul and the sanest mind. But today, it is totally different. You can see kids as small as in nursery talking all sort of nonsense you wouldn't even dream of. Believe me, I have seen a few kids like this. Without knowing what they are speaking, they tend to say anything and everything. Sometimes we seem more innocent and better-minded than them. But maybe, if they are taught the proper things with essential care, brought up with good moral values and in good company, this all can be avoided. If this is not looked to in an early stage, the children will prove themselves to be very challenging later on. Also with proper upbringing, they would be able to face the weird threats that life imposes.

These thoughts seem to have come from a very good, well informed person, but I'm afraid I am none of that sort. I also get stuck in the daily muddles of life, suffering a lot (mentally) and then repenting over my silly mistakes. Repenting over all the bad things I say, or maybe trying to sort out the confusion in my head. Sometimes I feel, that there should be a person who should be with you all the time, who would listen out to you, give you advice and make you head in the proper direction. Usually I dont talk over my problems with anyone in particular as they seem very silly when I try to frame them out to tell to someone. So then goes 'shut' and close the topic.

Now, you must be feeling, this really is a person with a mental breakdown. Well, I'm something of that sort itself. Confused with myself, confused with what is happening around me, confused with everything in this world. Phew!!!

Environment crazy

This is an age of changing, an age where things are moving on very fast. To live in this world is not easy & sometimes things go on so smoothly that we hardly know we are in a creation of complications. Human nature is one of the complications that comes in nature's smooth functioning of life. But after all, we also need to satisfy our needs. It is a dismay, although, our needs have increased humongously. Booming population, more resources needed to complete our basic necessities etc are becoming a major threat to the environment. This is happening due to our careless nature & our thinking that these resources are plentiful, why need to worry?

This is where we go wrong. Maybe this generation we are quite safe & sound. But people, come to think of our future generations who will succeed us, who will continue our species on earth. Should we really make a total mess of everything before we go? I'm afraid, this is particular to animals, not humans. We humans are supposed to be well organised, protecting the surroundings & trying to keep things in a better way rather than making the current situation. After all the damage that has been done, people are debating over how to cover up this. If we take a brief look at, we can see that the environment has gone for a total toss, but we forgot to take ourselves while throwing the environment & hence have ended in the toss too.

After all this crying over our mistakes, maybe we should try to work out something. All that is said about saving energy, controlling use of resources & going "green" is probably a way out. It would give a new perspective of life if everyone actually started heeding to all the warnings our earth is calling us to.
I hope to a change in the present world. I hope to make it more suitable to live.
