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.

The power of travel

We don't meet people like Columbus anymore. Someone who risked everything to travel and find Newlands. Virgin territories for humanity. Today we are so obsessed with our gadgets, that we are moving away from the real world. We are not travelling enough. We are not aware of our surroundings.  We are not one with nature anymore. I'm worried. Are you?

Plastic world!

We stopped being nomads ten thousand years back... And like stagnant water, our decay started. We formed boundaries that never existed before But we became the prisoners within them We let greed take over and we started finding joy outside us God was within us but we looked outside We became obsessed with winning We started killing for fun We chose to be cruel when we should have chosen to be kind We chose to kill when we should have chosen to collaborate We became a society full of plastic A society that glorified materialism A society that was dying from within A plastic world Will we ever come out of this plastic world? No one knows for sure Let's enjoy the nature what's still left Before we might start paying for the air we breathe We are dying as a race We are killing our own selves by eating junk and filling out minds with junk It's got to stop now We must turn back to nature and become free We must return to innocence For happiness and liberty

Warring for peace?

May seem like an oxymoron but that's exactly what we smart human race is doing. We need to look within ourselves to find light. We are all sinking the planet to depression with our fears, negativity, stress and greed. We were so much happier with little. We lived in the moment. Now we live in insta reels. We are going in the wrong direction as a race in the speed of light with no return  Only God can help us. We are so keen to destroy ourselves. May there be sanity to end suffering and may there be peace and happiness for all humans. Help us God. Bless us with your grace. We need you more than ever. Only you can save us God
