Passing the buck

-
We all have the tendency to blame our parentage for most things.. for our habits, opinions, things we do wrong...
We do learn quite a lot from our parents, but then blaming it all on them, and simply passing the buck (for not doing something the right way) is just escapism..

Its about time (considering we've spent about a quater of a century on this planet) that we stake claim to our actions and doings.

    that is a great point - the generation of 17-22 year olds feel like they are invincible and others are to blame for their actions - they need to take accountibility for themselves. good point.

    Totally agree, there are so many people out there who blame everything on something bad that happened in their childhood. Everyone has bad stuff happen to them, its how you deal with it that makes you what you are, either you learn from it and vow never to do the same or you let it control you.

    What I am trying to say is that Childhood are the formative years, where we mostly learn our Dos & Don'ts... but then, we adapt to what we see.. .and twist what we've learnt to our convenience...

    So it is unfair to blame them for everything... besides it shouldn't become an excuse for all the wrong we do..

    I agree with you, we do tend to blame others for our mistakes. It is true that we are raised by our parents and do learn from them, but it is also true that at some point we need to be responsible for our own actions.

What 'I' want to do

After a long long time, I'll be doing something I've really wanted to do...  Did I have to make some alternate settlements... maybe... Will it live up to the hype of it all... can't say... Was it worth a try.. only time will tell... But there is something very clear in my mind... I am glad I'm trying it out.. Because clearly, this is something I've been wanting to do for a long time now...

Charades we play

The whole world seems to be preparing for the G20 summit. From US to China, they are all harping about what Modi is planning to do, or atleast that's what our media wants us to believe.. Anyway, the best by product of hosting the G20 is the sprucing up of the city that is being done. Suddenly the MCD cleaners are sweeping all the visible scraps of plastic on the road (something they should've always done but never did), all dividers and flyovers are being painted, all signages are up and erect, all street lights are functioning... the list is endless... and it is amazing how perfect we wish to be when we have visitors, yet how shabby the original condition still is..  But the biggest realization is how nice and functional every civic amenity would be, if they all did their job properly !  So the next time you clean up your house when you have visitors, don't feel bad... that's what even countries do :) :D

An Apology

A lot of us believe that we should apologize for the wrong we've done...True.. But I've observed that a Sorry seems to be an easy shortcut... Uttering the one simple word seems to wash away the wrong-doing... We might not even pay as much attention, when we just utter the sorry...  And obviously now, thou shall be forgiven !!!
