What to write

Sometimes i have few thoughts that appear in my mind, and i want to write it and preach it, but since there has always been lack of time in this fast paced world, my thoughts remain in my mind only....
Since this is the first time i am writing online, i dont know how far i will go with this.. but my aim of writing it here is to give some solid form to my thoughts, beliefs, issues etc. and i think this could be one of the ways to do so...
Grown in the middle-class traditional gujarati jain family, i have seen many ups and downs in my life but there has been this strong sense of achieving something in life and be perfect in whatever i do, well i am on that path and will continue to do so....
I do have certain set of beliefs and certain principles which i observe as in
(1) I do believe that hardwork is always better than intelligence, i dont know how many would agree to that, but this is what i believe from somethings that has happened in past few years, and the reason for this as i see is that with hardwork, any other quality can be cultivated, may it be dedication, determination, intelligence etc..
(2) I also believe in punctuality and i know many would agree to that, and the very good thing that comes as a by-product of punctuality is the well-structured thinking process that you develop, i mean the thoughts, the ideas become so well structured that everything falls in its place while execution, ther wont be any mishap or unfit when ur thoughts are crystal clear and organised.
(3) I do believe in God but not the way the others in my house do, i feel that respect for God should come from within and i beleive being kind to others and helpful to others is one way to respect God. Rituals are fine at their place and one should follow them at right times but that feel perform a ritual should come from within. I believe, we humans are a bit hypocrits in this matter, on one hand we pray on the same day we do something that is inhuman....
(4) I do not believe in QUOTA SYSTEM (now thats the latest one), not that i am against quotas but i am against the way it is implemented and against the process with which it is implemented, i do believe that deserved backward category or undeveloped category of people should given a chance to progress. But here what is happening is different, if a person from a so called backward category is rich enough to live without help, then he cannot be termed as backward in any rspect. I mean to say is that the label of backwardness should be on the basis of a person's inability to fulfill his daily needs and progress, but not the basis of CASTE.
If any person builds a college for educating people, then it should be open to all and in same amounts, A gujju college should not have gujju quota or sindhi college should not have sindhi quota, because if a person wants to benefit society, why does he has to benefit only his community and his people, he should work for all,
ya u can have quota for general backward class who can be identified by a thorough process before admitting them
(5) I believe dufferent situations bring out a different "you" and being static in all situations wont work, so need to be dynamic and growth in Life is key to go ahead and improve, i belive Life is an indefinite learning process and more quickly we adjust ourselves in the environment, better will be our performance. According to me, LIfe is Full of Experiences (LIFE)
(6) well other than this there are few principles which i observe at my workplace and as and when necessary or if i feel to do so...

i back you up one hundred percent on this one merup bhai.

its quite a thing to do.. write for yourself..write to organize your thoughts. sometimes you dont know what you are thinking unless you jot them down like this and then read it. and its quite another thing to read things a few months after you've written them.
dont hesitate to write when you think you dont have enough to say.. dont postpone it for another day. start the first sentence, and more often than not, u'll end up writing more than you thought u'd thought :)

dont write for an audience; but an audience u shall have.

merupkapadia@blogspot.com is now a favourite on my browser :)
