So So Society

Learning and understanding policies and laws living in a diverse country, we need to accept our policies, which are always in the making. Eventually, they will be for our benefit. This story of truckers and their law reminds everyone of making rules – involving the people it affects from the start. The road to change isn't just about the destination; it's about how you get there. Let's discuss this recent law in India, especially for truck drivers. Ensuring truckers had better working conditions was supposed to be a good thing. But man, did it hit a rough patch! The idea was to set up rules about working hours, rest breaks, and safety for drivers who practically live on the road. Sounds good, right? Well, it turns out not everyone thought so. So, what happened? The problem was more about how they introduced it than the law itself. It's like they forgot to explain why this law was needed in the first place. Imagine someone telling you to change your whole routine without...

We all talk about how we are born and brought up in our lives. It seems like a small thing but the way we are grown up matters a lot in our social build-up. Today, I want to talk about something that matters in our lives a lot 'Our social conditioning'. We will be talking about how we used to be conditioned in our parents' generations and probably how we are conditioned compared to the fact that kids nowadays are conditioned. First and foremost I would want to talk about the basic treatment of kids. In our times, when we were young, we were treated to be strong and we were left to do and learn small things on our own like climbing stairs, playing outside, sometimes getting dirty and our demands were not always fulfilled whereas nowadays kids are pampered.  I guess we all have heard this term and we have used it for kids who are always kept in a bubble. A soft protected bubble that has kept them in a cozy vibe that never bothered their living style. These pampered kids are n...

Do you ever feel that something is wrong with you? Do you think that people are suppressing you or your lifestyle? Do you feel victimized? BUT, Are you victimized?  Are you suppressed? OR is it just in your head? Today, I will touch on the most sensitive nerve of people out there. This blog might make you offended but we have to talk about it. We have to talk about how people put themselves in the position of a victim.  We all have done this in life. Being a victim or feeling like a victim in situations is normal just like every other thing but only till it is not a habit. Once you get used to feeling victimized, you will start feeling that everything is wrong.  What exactly this victim culture is? Once you start blaming others for your situation and develop a sense of entitlement. A culture of blame-shifting, excuse-making, and self-pity.  Do these terms feel familiar!!! You might have heard them around you or might have seen people with such traits.  Victimhoo...

Don’t you think it gets tricky for us as a teenager or students to complete all our parents' expectations… but the weird part is that no one understands it. Every time a teenager is not able to fulfill the expectations we are treated in such a way that we are meant to do the such things that we are not capable of at times.  This peer pressure can be a lot. We as kids do not want to disappoint our parents but if you remember the last blog, we talked about stress and how Genz faces it, and how we choose to escape from it.  What exactly peer pressure is? Who faces the pressure the most? Why do kids face it? Why do our elders put this pressure on us?  Peer pressure is what we kids get from our society or family or friends mainly parents, and can be a way of influencing our choices of life or in life… We kids, the new upcoming generations feel this pressure the most…  To answer the why questions above, it is important for us to dig a little deeper into our parents' though...

What do you do when you are sad? What do you do when you feel alone? What do you do when there is a problem? What do you do when your professional life falls apart? What do you do?  The questions above are what we as youth face the most and what makes our life what it is. Now just reread every question and think of the answers to it. Think what happens to us and how you deal with all this chaos!! When I see people of our age, the Genz, the ones who are all cool and they seem to have it all figured out. Is it true? Have we figured it out? Do we know everything or do we just run? Run from reality, run from our problems, run from everything wrong in our lives, we do this. I do this, you do this, almost everyone around us does this.   I talked to a lot of Genz or millennials as we say, and I found out one core way that most of us follow which is to know the problem and know every possible way to avoid it. We avoid it because facing such situations becomes tricky and hectic an...

Hey readers, must be thinking about this heading. Might sound weird but just for a moment think of the smallest girl in your house or neighborhood who might be 12-13 years old and suddenly comes up to you asking if she is going to die. There will be hundreds of questions in your mind, from where the girl got that, why she is saying that, and many more. To understand this I have a little story. Almost every girl reading this will agree with the fact of how quiet we are asked to be when it comes to menstruation, especially when we are in front of our brothers or fathers or any male human being.  I heard this story from someone I know, and while I was listening to it I felt so weird that why would a mother do that? The story is about a little girl who must be 12 years old. A normal day in her life that turned out to be maybe a traumatic one. Why? Because her mother didn’t talk to her. That day she thought that she is going to die, she thought that she will not be able to survive anymo...

Think of the youngest kid in your family who plays general mobile multiplayer games. A small kid who is excited and intrigued by knowing new people. What if that kid meets someone wrong? Someone who manipulates the kid to take steps that can ruin their whole life or the life of the parents. Sounds weird right, Makes you feel afraid and creates an urge to check up on the kids at your house right? But why?  We are not even able to think of such a thing right. but here I have a story of a little 13-year-old boy who got influenced in such a way that changed his and his parent's way of living.  The image shows how bound we are to our digital devices. A little boy from a small town Sikar, in Rajasthan. A small happy family of the boy and both his working parents. Working parents, a basic reason that drove the boy to the mobile game called Pubg and meeting some random boys from Bangalore. Talking with the boys, and playing with them was just like a regular thing for the kid. Who knew...

Devadasis , listening to this word instantly grasps our minds to think of girls who serve God, but is it true. Do they actually serve God. Do they actually live a life like a servant of God? or there is a different reality behind this pure word and practice? let's find out. Devadasi, an ancient religious practice in Indian society led a lot of young girls into serving gods. This practice was done by girls who performed classical music or dance. Any girl who became a devadasi holds a high social status. Devadasis were a part of Indian society, where young girls performed for a sacred deity called Yellamma Goddess . There were some prohibitions like Devdasi can never get married and she had to give her whole life serving the god and the temple, but this all changed. such a pure job with the purest of emotions turned into one of the darkest sides of Indian society. but when? and why did this happen?  A lady with a specific neckpiece denotes her indulgence in the system of Devadasi....
