Recent developments in the country and in particular MCA is upsetting, to a point where I feel frustrated. I am writing this post while complaining about the same to someone who is trying to study for exams in the next few days.
I believed in changing from within, beginning with myself - my mindset and approach. Naive maybe but what else there is to do without having hope? I've tried my best, I've done my part. Not that I'm happy but neither am I walking away. I am just becoming more and more critical of the organisation that I spent my glorious seven years working for. Instead of being more progressive, it's going the other direction - from my point of view, at least.
Nonetheless, I am grateful for the opportunity and the experience. It was seven years of "education" which no money can buy. Then again, many people come and stayed in the "classroom" but how many have actually learnt the lessons?
The only consolation is that the journey has been both exciting and fulfilling (despite the pain and stress) and it made me a better, wiser and more patient person.

The Beginning
Blog registered but I don't know when I will write my next post. I prefer to keep my thoughts to myself unless absolutely necessary to express it but I am asked to change. Hence, the beginning of my rantings here.
A lot of my writings over the years were in notebooks and files (when internet was not the "in" thing yet). I thought of copying them here as my postings but then again, only if I am hardworking enough to even blog at all.
My interests, among many, include social, economic and political issues. I believe that any improvements, if necessary, should be affected from the core of the problem. Sometimes, drastic measures are the only option. "Customs/traditions" is a term often abused by people for personal gains and as a result, hampers progress and evolution of any organisation or society.
The quote below inspires my work and summarises what I believe in, what I'd like to do and why I believe being in politics will change anything.
Each time a man stands up for an ideal,
or acts to improve the lot of others,
or strikes out against injustice,
he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope,
and crossing each other from a million
different centres of energy and daring,
those ripples build a current that can
sweep down the mightiest walls of
oppression and resistance.
