Has #Virushka failed to #inspire?

#Virushka is one of the biggest phenomenon in the social media for 2017.  The two stars in their own right Viraat Kohli and Anushka Sharma decided to tie the knot to put speculation about their relationship to rest. Instead it started another unrest - in the media, on social media and our lives. #virushka was the most trending topic on Twitter that day.

Then why do I feel they failed? Here are my reasons...

#virushka is the ultimate role model for the affluent middle class in India. They started with humble beginnings with no godfathers in their industry yet made it in the super league. A fairy tale come true.

But, how many middle class family really vowed to make their sons and daughters like them? I'm sure not many...

Why? Because it's risky to be #Virushka

Fame is fickle. Glamour corrupts. The success rates are equal to the chances of a sperm fertilising an ovum which is one in a million. I'm sure many felt that #virushka will not get pension when they grow old like an IAS officer or any other government jobs at senior levels.

We will forget #virushka...we will again start pressurising our children to mug their lessons. So that they can get good grades and join IIT/ IIM or go to USA with a good job and post pretty pictures on Facebook.

#virushka is a real life movie. Once you are out of the theatre wake up to reality.

Humanity is lost!

We lost ourselves when our quest was overtaken by greed. First, we wanted to learn - the earth, the oceans, the skies and then we wanted to own them. We invented toys of mass pleasure and mass pain. We got religion and creed. And we got lost in all these. We stopped being the wanderers who wanted to cherish nature. Enjoy it's gifts.  We started challenging the almighty the creator. We lost. We are dying as a race. Dying with the burden of civilization that offers only stress and agony of loans. Sitting in one position we are destroying our body the greatest gift of nature. We don't deserve to be called the smartest of all species. We are the most idiotic of all. We are dumb. AI is taking over. We will be lost in machines soon. They are our future. We cease to be us soon. God bless us!

Oblivious to oblivion

We humans are getting more and more engrossed in things that don't matter and replacing it with things that do matter. We keep track of every new I phone model but we have lost track of the losing greenbelt and nature. We are killing everything that is keeping us alive. But we are happy to live now selling our tomorrow's.  It's a sad state of affairs. We are looking externally for things which are within us. And things which are external and unnecessary we are taking it internally - like peer pressure and loud lifestyles. Where is the sense? Where is the moral compass that controls our actions? Wake up humanity...before we are erased from this planet. We need the planet the planet doesn't need us. Let's not forget that, ever.

Nature calling!

There is a tiny little compass within us, our conscience, the keeps giving us signals. There are times when it keeps warning us of the dangers of the city life we are living. It gives us hint of being at home when we are in the middle of nature. We are all like tiny parts of the nature we are so foolishly moving away from. And that's why we feel so much at home when we go to these places. We are parts of them - the air, the water, the soil, the fire that makes us us. Not the iphones and fancy toys we are so attached to these days. Let's make it a point to live closer to nature. To breathe pure air. To drink water unadulterated by modernism. To think thoughts that are pure and in tandem with the cosmos. There is a monk within us. Why do we hide him? Why do we not listen to him? We must. Before it's too late!
