Bloody Norms.... are taking away my Freedom

Thinking mind is always critical for some issues or topic and now it’s back to work again when I came in front of a situation. All the people have different ways for greeting each other and that is something usual, but I didn’t know that this would become a carrier for me to come up with some of my ideas on the so called “NORMS”. Before few days I just greeted a friend of mine by just giving a light hit on the head and a blink of eyes, and this was something normal to me as that was friendly and it’s not like that my friend didn’t liked that but the thing was the other people who was standing along with my friend asked that “is this the way that a “Gujju” boy greet the people?” I did not know about this question as came to know about this later on when my friend told me. My friend didn’t take this thing seriously but just shared this comment with me, so this made me to think that why do people justify the things by the societal norms?

I agree that there must be certain norms for the society to work things well but sometimes I do feel that these norms are taking away my Fundamental Rights… J There are some things like good and bad, but this can be different for the people in different situation. Something’s which is good for me is not necessary that it would be good for all and vice versa. But there is a possibility that people’s reaction on any situation can be changed depending upon the mindset or broad/narrow understandings. The people who thought that the way of my greeting was not good that might be because they might not be knowing about the friendship between me and my friend or they might be more serious people J I also agree that the way I greeted was not normal as its against the societal norms of greeting people, but I don’t think that I must be so formal that I would greet like an official greetings. So personally I think that these norms are sometimes too much sensitive that it doesn’t allow people to come out of it. There can be a possibility that people would not be following these norms but they would perform a normal role in every aspect. I would like to stay a bit away from this Norms when am with my friends. J  

wh@t's on your MinD ?

It feels good to be a student. Being a student we feel the real essence of life. We live the life of college, school, hostel, and face various types of situation and all of them are new to us as we are facing it rather than our parents. Being away from home makes us to live life and to acquire new things and we also become capable of facing consequences or problems as we are the only one to take the decision. There are possibilities that we may learn good things as well as bad things but that is totally depended on what type of company you are having and for this you must be able to make appropriate choice for choosing your buddies. It feels really good when you are leading somewhere especially when you have come up with new ideas and have tried to do something new and innovative and it could become culture for the coming years. Once you have tasted the life outside your own world you would be addicted to it as you would find it more fascinating and more interesting. Learning new things always bring twist in our mind as we are more excited about it and it always reminds us of the Facebook default tag line: What’s on your mind?
