i dont want to be discriminated...

As an individual you can treat me as special.. But do not put me in any group and discriminate me as that stereotype... (does anyone get what i am saying here).

something i have been  thinking about.  generally, people dont like it, when they are discriminated, criticized, as an individual, or as a group.

The groups can be, based on the region you were born in, citizenship, gender, skin color, caste (a system which exists mostly in India, but that's like 1/6th of world population), based on your education or lack of it, marital status, age, whether you have all your limbs organs or not, color of your hair/beard, the type of music you like, or a disease like 'Uner Tan syndrome'...

and nobody likes to be discriminated on the basis of being part of such a group.  but stereotypes are not easy to overcome. 

sometimes, you can be positively discriminated, due to your belonging to a group.  people with white skin can get automatic extra respect / value in some countries.  sometimes a gender gets more privilege (though its very rare in India).. 
and sometimes, you get extra privilege, due to some specific individual thing - example like, a specific skill, musical ability, or just looks, etc. 

Nobody would mind getting positively discriminated..  either as a group member or as an individual.  nobody would like to be discriminated as group or individual... (that's what i tried to write on top para).  but, if we dont like it ourselves, why is there so much discrimination (both positive and negative) in this world?  what can be done about it?

the funny thing in India is, - ask a person, who belongs to some mid level caste, or is a middle class level citizen in the caste hierarchy... "do you think caste hierarchy should be practiced in 2014".. mostly they will say, "NO"...  then ask them, what about discriminating people on the basis of gender? "dont you think women should have all the freedom as men?".. 

its a tricky question, and i suspect, some men, maybe 1 or 2 from India might squirm a bit, and even oppose... with some reasons/logic...

and most funny thing is - almost everyone would be able to recall, some kind of human rights violation, which happened against them..  but, how many do anything to establish / maintain human rights in their community?  how many times have you stood up for something?

here is something else to check out...  how many people would be affected by lack of full human rights int his world: http://www.worldometers.info/world-population/

life is fun too...

No more internet,
so SMS/text to chat...
Maybe i should get whatsapp,
just 4 u...
(but i know it doesn't work,
because i have tried it b4,
i mean, even when i feel alone,
and want to chat,
find excuses to avoid whatsapp...
that's what i mean ;)

i am writing after a long time,
its a joke, on me..
(what do you think of this?)

there was a time,
(excuse me, like an unread tome,
 am unfolding my stories, now)..
yes, there was a time,
when i used to get irritated,
as i felt i keep giving,
but they/others do not return...

and i used to stop, tired..
let anger out...
then i realize at times,
there is pleasure in giving too...
when its seen as sharing too,

i dont feel tired now,
life is fun too..

(and i give out more likes now ;)

do it in your style...

i like an audience – i like to tell tales.. kinda in a standup comedy way, or some role-playing way... i guess i never searched for a typical method or art form to present / communicate, but prefer to just let it go with the flow. Because the rebel in me, refuses to conform to a particular style or way to communicate or story-telling. I like to do it with heavy doses of intense sarcasm and contradictions in which our mind seem to thrive on..

it is a form which is organic, it wont even allow itself to be typecast and leave others to follow in those footsteps or style. It has to decay within its time and maybe to stop it from becoming a fashion/trend, it has to die many deaths within a lifespan!

It has to reinvent itself, without worrying about an audience! Yes, a pure art form, which gets expressed over a period of time, longer than a movie or a book, could last upto 10 days of unscheduled conversation, which you are int he middle of doing every other thing!

Inter-actors it would be. Not a passive audience! Each preson has to interact, with everyone else, well almost. There has to be lot of trust, openness and positivity in all. With hope and peace in a relaxed atmosphere! Whew... too much to ask?

Then it can happen.. how or why nobody knows. Thus then there is no audience! Or everyone is an audience. There are no actors, writers, directors.. everyone spontaneously reacts.. with lots of layers in each dialogue, with full of rich body language for you to decode, decipher and communicate in the same way back. Without feeling any pressure.. just connecting and inter connecting... or whatever that means! ha... i had warned you about twiested sense of humour, innit? ;)

(wrote the above, based on a 10 day experience... a brief of it is given below:

For 10 days, i was in a place, Jungle, where everyone was doing their thing. But something beautiful happened (i am not someone who uses beautiful as an adjective easily.. but there seems to be no better way to describe it right now).

About 15-20 people met each other for few days, explored the place around, and interacted with each other without any planning or schedules... but somehow, it seemed to have given everyone a burst of positivity.. some got more but everyone got something positive overall..

How and why did this happen? There was no purpose or plan.. it just happened.

Maybe, such camps, or such get together should happen more often. a camp or hostel, where people just relax and have fun.. and interact with each other. Where they get along with others, while finding themselves, discuss personal stuff, and relax and chill out..

Everyone got a burst of positive energy and formed beautiful friendships with so many others and explored themselves and felt good about themselves as well.. which is really a lot to ask for.. and all this happened within 10 days.

But of course, if its a planned thing, will it really be the same? And if its not planned, nothing much might happen at all. A tough dilemma to resolve. Have any of you readers had such an experience? or would you wish for such a thing?
