Expression of positve/negative freedom

Expression of Positive/Negative Freedom

Do you do it, as you personally like it OR you are FORCED to do it??????

Yesterday, I was talking to a man in his early sixties. We meet quite often, he comes to my work place almost twice in a week and whenever we meet, the common point of discussion would be politics....he is a very calm, composed, very talented English person I have met in recent times..

And it was this day, when he was explaining me “all my life, I was dreaming to be someone and finally I became someone”. He said, his aims and ideals were changed as he was FORCED to change because of his surroundings. One has got the freedom of doing something but have an external force on them which could be their family, friends or situations which compels them to do only that thing than anything else, EXPRESSION OF NEGATIVE FREEDOM.

I feel many of us face the same situation in our everyday life, where in we wanted to do something but the situation and our social life force us to do something else..We may not like the job we are in but our family responsibilities make us think about job safety. But one personally needs to think if that is going to help them in the long run.

What do you face in your life?? Do you express Positive/Negative Freedom?

Do write your comments!!!!

It Happens only in India!!!!!

It Happens only in India!!!!

It was an old Govinda song from a bollywood movie in which he hilariously dance to the tunes of the song..IT HAPPENS ONLY IN INDIA!!!!! This song very articulately explains the best things of India. I think the lyricist should have explained the other side of India too...I am talking about the Great Indian Cricket Fanaticism..

Being a hard-core cricket fan, I was disappointed with Indian teams performance last night against England. But it was just a game. You win sometime and you loose sometime. As it is the only popular sport of India, people are so Fanatic about it. I was watching the news the other day and it was people from Ranchi (hometown of Dhoni) burning the effigy of Indian captain MSD for loosing the T20 match. I heard that people from the same city were planning to build a temple for Dhoni when we were consistently winning the matches. It was really a tough game for India as England was bowling really well. England team was bowling at a tougher length (shoulder height balls), which the immature Raina and Jadeja couldn’t strike, feeling the pressure form the outnumbered Indian fans in the ground.

I feel, there are many more things which we should be really worried about like Indian poverty, Terrorism, rising swine flu cases and many other problems which the country is facing now rather than just a spirited game. We have to appreciate the team’s effort in the game, especially MSD, as he is one of the best captains India ever had*. India has won many matches under his captaincy even against the biggies Australia. The best thing was MSD apologising to the fans of Indian cricket as you hardly see any captain doing that.

Finally, I just wanted to say one thing to all those effigy-burning lads down there..
