Serious Concerns

Concern 1: Last week, while traveling from home to office, in train, I noticed two boys studying a subject, and the moment they started reading the book out, one of them said ‘This is the f***ing subject, it f**** my mind last night’ and all the sentences he spoke there on had the same four letter word in different connotations, with his other friend joining too, I mean whats with the language these days, the 4 letter word has been used with so much of importance to it and that too with ease without any public shame. I guess the writers of constitution would not have even thought that freedom of speech would be so misused, I mean, I also know that the subject is abstruse as I too studied it, but I or none of the people around me in college would have spoken such an abusive language in front of common people around. And this is not the case with one or two students, I have seen this phenomenon from quite some time now, and nothing can be done from it as this all has come from the influence from west in our race to be developed, but as far our Indian values are concerned, we as youth should take care of not using such bad influences in public at least and in some way retain the original Indian values even while simultaneously blending with the west.

Concern 2: While traveling back from office the other day, when I was outside andheri station, I could hear two females chatting, and one of them spoke, “Its ok to be 5-10 minutes late, we are punctual as per Indian Standard time ”, both of them laughed and agreed. This statement clearly tells that what we think about India and ourselves personally in terms of respect for time, by making this statement we are just lowering ourselves in respect, we are lowering ourselves in what we call as professionalism, and this is the major factor that is differing us from our peers. I mean there is problem with the basic thinking in us, why can not we be on time. Our laid back attitude and lack of respect for time in smallest of tasks can harm us in a big way, because we never realize the importance of time and continue with same attitude in biggest of tasks. I think this is a serious issue because most of us falter in time management, I m not saying that everyone should be the best in time management, but try not to make such statements honestly, as by making such statements we are just ridiculing ourselves and losing respect for ourselves.

The thing I pointed in above two concerns is, that while in 1st case we are learning or getting influenced from the west, then why not in the 2nd case?

Lets think about it for ourselves, and decide what we want to learn?
