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 to achieve a particular size of waist then to have a height of your choosing.

 

I'm 5’11. Thus, I'm obviously not begging for short-guy sympathy here, rather stating a relevant fact.

 

Height, for any individual, is not mouldable to great degrees. It's believed that it can be changed through activities but that mostly remains mysterious.

 

Weight, unless the person suffers from some health boundations, can be adjusted according to the liking through sheer exercises and rigorous diet.

 

Height for men works as a basic criteria for dating and marriages. People so normally reject others if their height isn't desired by them.

 

Weight in women is something you should stay as possibly silent about as your human capacity allows you to.

 

You immediately become human embodiment of all sorts of negative comments if your statement is indicated toward a woman's weight.

 

Nonetheless, every person deserves to have personal preferences but this privilege should be enjoyed by both the genders.

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...

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...
