Somethings In Life I Don't Understand...

Well, the title must have conveyed the meaning well enough I suppose. Skipping the old tradition of introducing the topic. Let me take you down through the topic. Here are some of those things that's beyond my sense of understanding.

1) To start with,lets take recession as a topic because everyone's being hit with it. They say that all the money's gone. No one holds the moolah. Everyone's losing their job. I don't understand one thing if one man's loss is another man's gain then where the hell did the money go? Obviously it hasn't gone out of the globe. It still is somewhere on the planet. If everyone's poor at the moment then who has all the money? And from where do the producers of some crappy game shows earn big bucks? How come they have such big amounts to give to participants or winners of those game shows?

2) Taxes now. Every employee pays taxes. Sometimes more than what he/she earns. But no regrets. Finally, its for the country's good cause. I say, DO HELL WITH THAT DUMB THOUGHT. No one pays taxes less than a thousand bucks. And India being the second most populated country in the world accumulates taxes worth millions. And that too monthly. With taxes being incurred upon everything consumed. Till date there's only one sea-link that we rant about, few metro trains, people living in hazardous condition and every negative aspect what you can think of. I ask, where did the tax-money go? With no hesitation, I know, your answer would be 'In those corrupt pockets'. If ever that money was to be used up well for the country's cause then India would have been rubbing shoulders with every developed country on the globe. And in every field.

3)Cricket,the sport India believes in. The sport which is a religion. Yeah, even the world's richest cricket body is in India, the BCCI. With every cricketer earning 2 to 3 lakhs per over he bowls and 3 to 4 lakhs for every score. You just hit the ball with the bat and you get rich. Simple as it is. Hey, I don't have any problem with them scoring or earning. They play games,they earn for it. But why every other sport in India is lagging behind? The reason is all of the money being diverted to cricket. Come on,there are other sports too that can give you good entertainment. But the people in India never seem to have heard the names of other ones. If funded properly Indian football and Hockey team would have been competing the world cup.

4)Another thing I don't understand is why people fully depend on municipal corporations for their safety. Every year the problem, the rains. When there's no rain they complain and when there's a downpour they complain. Hell. Tough it is to understand people. Why do they keep complaining for the floods, the damaged roads, the water-logging. All when they know their taxes aren't being put to use in the proper way. They have their own organisations, communitites etc.then why can't they come up with an idea for a clean-up drive,an idea for making their money put into good use. Just why?

5)An actor or a film star gets admitted to a hospital for a minor surgery. And this is the moment where people show how careful they are when it comes to lending a helping hand. They start some poojas to make their voices reach the heaven and gods to save their entertainer. Every kind of mantras and what not. I ask where do the hands disappear when a not-so-famous or an ordinary or an 'AAM' aadmi goes through such a phase? No one gives a damn.

6)Reservations in India. A common sounding stuff. Everything happens the way you want when you fall into a reserved category. You get the best jobs, the best placements, the best of everything just because your ancestors spent their lives cleaning filth. Politicians too,take an advantage. Vote banks. Win their hearts by fake promises and get into the constitution. Make your pocket heavy and do nothing for country. That's what happens. Every guy today has the minimum requirements. You can't judge anyone solely by his/her falling into reserved category. All those help instead can be given to people falling short of such needs. But why the bias? Everyone's the same.

7)The same applies for girls. Reservations for girls everywhere they go. And they talk about gender equality. And they say girls are no lesser than boys. If so, then why do you need reservations? Too much of chivalry, of course.

8)Coming to astrology. Every astrologer says some kind of stuff that makes some panic thinking what would be his day like. And every astrologer says something different. And every sun-sign has a good time ahead they say. Why don't people understand that they have nothing in their hands when it comes to deciding your destiny? Just why? You won't be saved by your sun-sign if you commit a murder,if you rob someone of money,or anything illegal.

9)Why do people go for mobile phones with updated features? I'm not against those who buy cellphones.They have a digital camera and they end up buying a high-resolution one. They have a mp3 player and buy phones loaded with the same stuff. And in some of the extreme cases, people just buy phones because they have money to burn. Just to be in the trend. And the moment a new phone model enters the market, they sell the newly bought one. I don't know why?

10)News channels hold debates with people giving views on various social issues. Shouting to the top their voice to make their views more prominent. So much that audience can't understand what they actually want to convey. I don't understand why they waste an hour on such shows which never come up with a solution to the topic raised. And even if they do, why don't they implement it in practical situations?

On the whole I say, such things can never be understood by anyone unless and until things are made to go the way they are. Ending this post with lots of confusion. Any offence caused is unintended.
