Retarding The Nation: Freebies and Financial Relaxations

-

 

Economics had taught me that a Nation witnesses two phases of boost up. One is growth and the other is development. Growth is when, a particular section, area, or field finds a comparative boost up from the previous years, or other competitive nations. And, Development includes the altogether growth of the economy. Which surely means no negation, no partiality, no section of the society being left out, no community being oppressed on any grounds. Development of a Nation reclines on the seat of an overall mass economic growth inclusive of each and every citizen, in each and every industry of production.

But where are we?

In a class which I was attending a few days back, my teacher said, “We, Indians take freebies for granted”. True.

As much as we question why the petrol and tomato prices are increasing rapidly at a blink of the eye. We do not argue much when suddenly the state or central Governments announces freebies like ‘lakkhi-bhandar’, ‘rupa-shree’, ‘free bus fares’ or ‘free metro fares’. All of a sudden we all feel so Bhagyashree:
Like, if the country is facing inflation and people have to pay double the amount for consumption of food and diesel. Then from where does the Government relaxes so much unaccountable fund for such freebies?

I am not against freebies. I am just asking.

Won’t you agree that such economic relaxations should be granted to the ‘economically’ weaker section of the society? The millionaires’ daughter really doesn’t care to squander her precious little twenty rupees for a metro or bus fare. But the same amount values much more to the labour who barely has a daily wage of 300 Rupees.

Economic and financial relaxations are not a luxury. If granted and distributed wisely, the people of the nation which actually relish and find solace.

Fear is but, A Lack of Faith

There is nothing called fear. It's just a lack of faith. A lack of faith on yourself, or on a person. A lack of self confidence. A lacking of belief on the power of your skills. Fear, is just the basic feeling which comes out of the anxiousness of an unseen, unknown future.  You fear when something changes & you don't have the least idea of how are the winds going to sail you. Fear is the reaction when you give in to the uncertainty and uncontrollability of things happening in your life. Fear has no independent existence. It is but a lack of faith on yourself.  When you wish for a definite and exact outcome, but you cannot assure it for yourself, there comes fear. Fear is the but a lack of faith on the existential possibility of your desires. When you conjure up images that are opposite to your dreamland, to your wishing well.  When those contradictory images look more real and probable, we fear.  If you are getting this, you'd understand that there c...

Art & Algorithm

 Do you really think that writers or painters have a pattern in being mused and amusing you? Do you really think that it is practically possible for any writer to wake up in the morning with a new hunch and inject in you a motivational punch? Haa! Maybe you don't. But the influential social media and the urge to be found in a web traffic has made the writers and other artists feel that their art should come out in a pattern that matches the social media algorithm and help them to get found or let's say in the Gen Z fashion, 'trend'...! Beginning from a few years ago till a few week ago, I too have tried to fit in an algorithm. The social media hashtags, you see. Fit in how the keywords works, how the hashtags can be used, what people are liking, what modern influencers are doing. And especially try to see if my posts has reached the algorithm approval or not. Surprisingly, whatever I did, did not work. Was it a surprise? No... It had not been working past four years, wh...

What is so difficult about Trying?

Over the last few days, I have been playing basketball in my courtyard. It is nothing professional. It is just a recreational activity without a cemented court or rules. My mother had planned to tuck a basket at a good enough height at the anterior wall, and now I have been playing basketball, where my premium activity is to basket the ball without anyone snatching it away from my hands.  Let me tell you a secret? It is very tiring. Almost equal to giving up.  Every time I throw the ball above at it, the ball either gets hit on the wall and bounces back (not at me) at the other end of the yard. I would rush to catch it (without success) and run till the end of the fences where the ball had almost nowhere to go. I will take it back and try again and again it would get hit on the wall and push me to rush at some other direction. Tiring stuff. Fun yes, Tiring more.  It was tiring, because I was trying.  One of the hardest things about trying is that we feel we are not d...
