Freedom

Yes I have the freedom

Yes I have the freedom to break the traffic laws(the public secret is to bribe the traffic police)

Yes I have the freedom to break any law(the secret here is to keep the Govt. Officer(s) happy and the media away)

Yes I have the freedom to not worry about my duties(the secret is no one cares when one doesn't do his/her duty but does so when it comes for their rights)

Yes I have the freedom to use the public properties the way I want it(the secret here is that individual only cares about the private properties, do what you want with the public properties)

Yes, I have the freedom to live the way I want(the secret here is to acquire the ability to keep the governing people happy be it money or something else)

Yes I have the freedom of voting, but do I know who I'm giving the power to govern us? Does he/she care about Freedom(detailed above :)) or the Responsibilities/Duties more? Have you ever seen/known him/her doing anything for the public? Have you known him/her in anyway so you can trust? Are elections a lucky draw? Do I really have no option other than choosing one from the candidates?

With great power comes greater responsibility

With great power comes greater responsibility. Nature gave us the former and we have been and are ignoring the latter.

Its time to think of energy in whatever form as not an entity that can be bought, but a resource that we share equally with others. Often its been the case that if I have the money I can afford wasting these resource.

We are the only living thing that is responsible for the term "Global Warming". It has never been that evident before the effects of Global Warming, now we need to grow two trees(a wild guess) at the place where there was one to completely reverse still it would take time.

I have been reading about "Save Tiger" and few had asked me "why is that creature of such importance while there are other endangered species as well". For that I would say that Tiger shares the topmost position in a food chain and if we find a healthy tiger in a forest that would indicate that the forests has abundance of all other species as well. Other peculiarity of tiger is that it is a solitary animal which means they will live most part of their life in the wild alone and they have a behavior of killing each other for supremacy hence the rarity and the poor population growth ratio.

3 Idiots, a great attempt to make people think....

Last weekend I got lucky to see the movie "3 Idiots". Loved most part of the movie and would recommend it to all my friends.

This movie does continue the path of sending out message as did "Taare Zameen Par", its a must watch for people who only "study" and never understands what they study. It puts light on the need to give more importance to the originality, creativity, application when we learn.

When I look back I remember few things that I learnt from school/college, seen application or applied it myself. Now did others only wasted my time? surely some were if not all. The appeal is not against the teaching material alone, the methods that we use to teach young ones, the emphasis given to mark one scores. Do the schools and colleges ever mind if the pupil understand and use the knowledge that they memorize for the exams alone and never digests it. I bet there aren't many who care what the pupil understands.

The parents needs to understand a simple fact that one becomes only capable when he learns something but excels only if he understands and loves what he does. Now back to the movie, the character of Farhaan(Madhavan) was a good wildlife photographer but his family forced him to be an Engineer. The scene where he convinces his father that he doesn't enjoy being a Engineer and loves to be a photographer does tell it all. Another sequence that I loved is the Interview of Raju(Sharmaan Joshi) is a touchy one as well. The mantra "All is Well" does say all these in a funny manner.

At last the School of Rancho(Aamir) will amuse people, and throws light into application of technology for simple things. Most often we think of big things and never think of simple solutions that can be useful to more people.
