Well, last few days I have been arguing with my friends on several things. Don't worry, Its not like we are fighting and too furious to kill each other. :)
I saw a video on youtube, it was a trailer of upcoming movie "Slackistan". A Pakistani movie which portrays other side of Pakistan. Developing Pakistan, Rising Pakistan. Well, I was discussing this video with my friends which converted into a heated argument within a minute. Purvang was not agree to me, he was not ready to accept that there could be this side of Pakistan. Yes, he was correct, thats what everyone thinks.
There have been a lot of discussion around the web when "Slumdog Millionaire" released. Indian celebrities wrote in their blogs that British are selling poverty of India and earning money. They don't want to accept the truth that India has been making progress in almost all areas. They don't want to see Indians employing Europeans or Americans. They don't want to see that Indians are going beyond one can only imagine. But the questions is, Isn't Purvang (or many more like him) doing the same when we talked about "Slackistan" ??
Its all about a mind set. I heard a word during my schooling "Koop-mandook" (Frog of a Well) who only thinks that whole world is in that Well. There is nothing beyond it. We need to change this mindset in order to have a clear understanding of the situation.
Next day, we were waiting for the bus, and the topic of discussion was "Why Bus is always late ?". Well, I agree that "Bus is late twice or thrice is week, but not always" .. Purvang just said "Whatever we say, you are always ready to talk opposite .. Are you a embassador of Maryland bus service ?" .. I just smiled.
Now, It was my time to find out why am I doing that. Hopefully I have found the answer. The reason could be my quality of accepting almost everything as nice. I want to see everything in this world good. I am mostly not ready to listen anything bad about anything. When someone talks about any fault in something or someone, I just come up with good points to prove that "Its not always bad , you should also see the brighter side". According to me, nothing is perfect in this world, we all try to be good but still make faults. It doesn't mean that our good deeds are ignored because of our faults. So there is need of looking at everything from all point of views.
Then I just remembered one of my classmate, he was quite opposite to me. Just praise someone in front of him and he will contradict. Thats a balance. :)
