Why being a Government official Sucks !

 These are the list of the most influential persons of the world.


How many of them do you think could have been government officials?

Even if you don’t know about them all, you can be sure that there is hardly any chance of any government official who can become a great influencer in the world.

Government services have many advantages like power, perks (legal and illegal), job security and an opportunity to do public service.

However, all the advantages of the government services also becomes the greatest hindrance to discover yourself and achieve excellence.

When you have hard power, your lose compassion

When you have job security, you stop taking risk

When you get seniority based promotion, you stop working hard

When you lose freedom of speech, you lose creativity

When you engage in corruption, you lose conscience

In government services, your career moves in an auto-mode since you join the job and till you retire at the age of 60 years.

After you retire at the age of 60 years, you can’t think of doing anything new or creative to achieve excellence in any field of life.

It is for this reason that you can very rarely find any government official becoming a great writer, thinker, painter, poet, business leader, sportsman, singer, entrepreneur, politician, scientist, economist or make a name for himself in any field.

Once you join a government job, you become simply a cog in wheel of government.


You cease to be a human being having his/her own identity and become a machine part in the huge government system who is not known by name, but by designation, and who can be replaced exactly like a part of a machine by the masters (politicians).

If you dream to do something great and make a name for yourself in the world, you must not join the government job.

Government jobs give you pay, perks and security, but takes away your freedom, creativity and identity.

It is better to know the price you are going to pay for getting into government services, before you dedicate years of your life getting into government service.

Why there's no prom in Indian schools?

First of all , let's see what's prom is .  A prom is a ball or formal dance at a school or college, especially one held at the end of the academic year for students who are in their final year, the sophomores. And it has students bringing dates along with them. Boys and girls in school are supposed to ask each other out to be there prom partners. (Do you think any Indian parent will allow two people of opposite gender to be this close to each other?) This is what happened when this seemingly inappropriate posters of a telugu film called arjun reddy released  Look at how the so called cultural saviors are vandalizing  the public property just because that poster is a threat to their glorious culture (sarcasm). Now, as to why there is no prom concept in India? The reason is-: Most of the people in India are very conservative and talking and hanging out with opposite sex is generally looked down upon by the society it is said to cause distractions...

Rant (1)

  I stumbled onto this girl's profile, her bio read:   “Don't text me if you're not 6′1”   Her Display picture? The closest I could find in two minutes:                                                              Just a random pretty girl adding her personal preferences for dating in her bio, totally common and nothing problematic.   Now flip the coin.   A boy goes on to add,   “Hit me up when your waistline hits 24 inches.”   I need not even explain on what kind of reaction that guy will receive from others. Your mind would've also thought of the type of comments he may get.   When it's very much practical and controllable...

The Myth of Starting Late

When he was 32,  Oskar  Schindler  was a balding, opportunistic Nazi who obtained a factory through his Nazi connections. He had no major artistic, oratory or athletic skills. At that point, he had no way to make history in a positive way. But, he did and with just 2 years of work. Through his tenacity and change of nature, he helped 1200 Jews escape the Nazis. Now, a whole community of people proudly uses his name -  Schindlerjuden   (Shindler's Jews) and venerated highly in Israel.Schindler saw a problem and did whatever he could to solve it. That's the way to make history, dammit! There are millions of problems around us and if we change ourselves today, we have an opportunity to make history. Mahatma Gandhi, Jesus Christ, Nelson Mandela and scores of others we remember in history didn't really set the world on fire when they were quite young. They were not child prodigies and they were not extraordinarily skilled in any particular field. They were ordinary m...
