The Indian Way
This is something that had a bell ringing in my head yesterday while going through a newspaper article. Most of the Indians and I would say almost all who are providential to know Hindi do possess of a habit, which quite craftily says a lot about our behavior and mindset. We try to end up every sentence in a contradictory sense like:- "hai na", "tum phir aaoge na" etc and sometimes ,though totally unaware, we use the same intonation while speaking English too like:- "I am Right no" instead of saying it "Am I right". Both have a tint of question mark associated with them, as we engineering students have with the first sight of the question paper thinking if we have ever come through the inauspicious, infact it becomes quite inauspicious if u don't know the answer to it, word during our one night struggle but a philosopher may cunningly unearth the difference between the two. Isn't it ironic that we have an irony associated with a bulk of communication we do.Looking at the other side, are we really having a sanguine start but ending in a pessimistic way. Do we infact get cajoled with the slightest hint of success but tenaciously have the consequences of failure at the back of the mind? And if you endorse with me, is this the basis of the "no" being appended to the lines we speak.Something even disparate hung by my head as I kept walking on the lane back to my house in the stormy evening i.e. is this consequence of failure or the thought of what people around us would say, engulfing us to a hibernation where our creativity get clogged and we become precarious to make changes in the way things are going resulting in a precisely slow up gradation of the economy and society. Though I know I am quite far from the affirmative where I could say "Bingo" I got it and could draw out an explanation for the same but yet seeing the way life has gone for me or the way I have looked at life and for the others around me, I can substantiate quite a lot of instance and I think you would too be in a position quite similar to this after thinking about the gibberish that I have scribbled so far.
