Inktober is an initiative started in 2009 by Mr. Jake Parker. It's a art challenge for artists worldwide to finish 31 drawing made by 'ink' for 31 days of October. For more information visit their website <a href="http://inktober.com/"><span style="color: #444444;">http://inktober.com/</span></a><br />
<br />
I on personal level got to know about it through Mary Doodles, famous Youtuber and a very big inspiration to me. Starting was pretty good. Although I do cheated by using colours when it should have been all proper black & white Ink made art pieces. Mine were clearly splash of color and amateur digital work. I didn't even followed a theme as well. Anything that came to my mind, something I saw, something I remembered it was over the page. My parents for the first time in my life supported and kinda tolerated my everyday art making. Even though I had my final practicals due in between some days.<br />
<br />
Besides that if you wanna ask any question related to how I draw and write & stuff just DM me on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/AsthaBenevolent" target="_blank"><span style="color: #444444;">Facebook</span></a> <a href="mailto:closeenoughtoperfection@gmail.com" target="_blank"><span style="color: #444444;">Email</span></a> or <a href="http://asthabenevolent.tumblr.com/ask" target="_blank"><span style="color: #444444;">Tumblr</span></a>. And here are the materials I used for Inktober.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Chriping of birds sounds irritating,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Why is it feel like everything hating.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Sitting all alone in this empty corridor,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Forcing myself not to walk out the door.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">All around are people present in plural,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Staring eyes makes me look fooler.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">When do this loneliness turned so heavy,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Is it just learning who make us happy?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Then again we die alone,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Buried into different stones.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Never become content with self,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Maybe thus we are termed a mess.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">When will we learn? When do we get?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">A single person is a group itself.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Dependency a weakness,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Freedom a joy.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Only believed when badly annoyed.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
From time that I began to recite,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Started to protest against otherwise.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There's always this thing,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That stop me to begin.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Been surrounded by wrong,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Still I try to stay strong.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are these rules & reputation that assemble,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Forbidding the paths that seem like my gamble.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When it was success,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Told to reach out for more.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now here are regrets,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Talks of not trying from the core.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What looks freedom has a different definition,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When the dreamer and believer have different ambition.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Everyone explain their version of right,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Couldn't get in that it's no more 1975.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Expression can be art.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Passion can be careers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Talents set you apart.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Workplaces have changed in years.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What never ends is the greed,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To have way better living then the needs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So vomiting grief is all I choose,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Spilling my quarrels before I loose.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll paint my thoughts until I can,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

There are three issues that I personally care about deeply. That are Mental Illness, Religion and LGBTq+ issues. And before I offend someone, I want to be clear that it's all 'My Opinion'. Anyone can give their as well unless it becomes offensive. As I was saying, this blog was even started due to utter boredom and existential crises. I always give words to the feelings and situations dealt by me. But, right here all I've openly ever talked about is of me being Bipolar. Partly because at the back of my mind I've always been scared of the labels that I consider will be put on me as soon as I'll talk about 'Gay Rights and Recognition'. Because firstly and unfortunately, most people who I know personally don't even know what LGBTq+ stands for. Then, when I explain it to them it's usually that awkward silence reaction where in the back of their mind they start thinking, "Is she so interested in such issues because she's one of them?" Well...to answer that Yes! I AM AN ALLY. Which according to me makes a part of it. And NO! I'm not a lesbian. I'm a straight Indian girl who believes in equality. (i.e. requesting amendment of Section 377.)<br />

But why am I making my comeback post after two freaking months with rambling about LGBTq+ rights? Well, if you've been actually living under a rock. You might not be aware about the open fire that happened in Orlando. It's noted to be the biggest mass shooting incident in American History. AND it took place in a Gay Club. With fifty people dead and about fifty three people severely injured. I'm badly moved by such incidences also 'coz of the fact that I lost one of my Family member and Christina Grimmie in the same week. It hurt me to my soul that all I can do pray and ask for giving the lost souls families courage to get through this tough time. It's PRIDE Month. A year ago Same-Sex marriages got legalised in all states of USA and now...</div>

LGBTq+ people exist. So does HOMOPHOBIC idiots. If your believes are taking somebody's life I guess it's time to change them. Ask yourself what shocks you the most 'Two men holding Gun' or 'Two men holding hands'. We are half way through 2016, still people gets tortured for who they decide to love. When we have the right to speak our mind and educate ourselves. Why is there still a barrier in deciding with whom we want to spend rest of our lives with? Love sees no gender. God (if exist) is there for all it's children. And it's not gonna punish you for choosing your happiness over somebody's opinion over it.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Happy Holidays Everyone! WOW! I've been gone for longer than I thought. And I genuinely have no excuse for my absence from here. I've extremely grossed myself into watching TV shows and Movies that I have always wanted to. But ended up with just a pile of books and my crappy doodles. So, back in November I told you guys 'December' be a post-filled month. And to those of you wondering it will be. Starting from today, to the New-Year's day I'm determined to post something or another on either my Blog or Youtube Channel continously. Since my last post, I just slept and read. Around July-August I bought or like added various books to my library (Online/Real whatever!) Which was when I realized that it's been a while since I recommended books. I really missed it. Hence, I decided to lead you through once again with my favourite past-time....READING. By the way I've even written a similar Book Based post, you can read it right <a href="http://somethinghappeningtome.blogspot.in/2015/04/book-recommen.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cfe2f3;">here</span></a>. So, here it is my favourite reads at the moment.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"><b><u>The Mortal Instruments</u></b></span></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://www.booksofwondershop.com/images/products/detail/immortalinstruments6books.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://www.booksofwondershop.com/images/products/detail/immortalinstruments6books.jpg" height="318" width="320" /></a></h2>
<br />
I'm currently reading City of Fallen Angels, but I'm more than halfway through it. And I genuinely can't wait to finish this whole series. I actually found it while stalking Dominic Sherwood online & I got to know he's in the final cast of "ShadowHunters" a show that's premièring soon on abc. The other is History. I got the first three books from store by almost killing the shopkeeper (Don't ask why!) and then frankly stealing other three literally *beep* my life! But I'm loving the series so far. It's been a long time since I read anything genuinely good in Fantasy. It really makes me so angry that I didn't know these books existed this long. BTW here's the plot. Clary with her best friend Simon witness a blue-haired boy getting murdered and dispersing into thin air right after that. The next day, she meets one of the Murderer guy Jace who tells her she's a demon-hunter or more specifically a 'ShadowHunter' which she dismisses until she comes home to find out her bizarre house condition and her mother missing. Since a demon has got her. I wish I can tell more. But you need to read it to find out.<br />
<br />
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"><b><u>Looking For Alaska</u></b></span></h2>
<a href="https://cjcbookreview.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/lookingforalaska.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://cjcbookreview.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/lookingforalaska.jpg" width="209" /></a><br />
<br />
It was my first John Green novel, back in 2006. I was actually looking for some detective novel but I've finished pretty much every book that store had. So, then I found this one. Needless to say that any book with 'Award-winning Author' written on it's cover don't make it to my book-shelf is merely impossible. But I wasn't able to understand it in first go 'coz I was 10 and Alaska doesn't sound like a girl name to me. Fast-forward to 4yrs later, when I was genuinely broke AF & lonely AF since my friends used to ditch me for their stupid dates. I though of reading it again. And it's not wrong to say that this John Green book is better than The Fault in Our Stars. Warning! it's a 'YOUNG ADULT' story, so if you're not into some story that includes suicidal, smoking, hormones-ragging teens it's not for you. It's a story from Miles view who is very much attracted to Alaska. While Alaska is an emotionally-unstable girl that still blames herself for her mother's death when she was eight. It's an amazing story of inter-school rivalry and friendship which takes a complete turn when She Dies!<br />
<br />

Once again, didn't know this book existed. Until another guy that I stalk Nick Bateman posted a picture of himself holding it on instagram. And I judge a book by it's cover so I took it online. But when you have over 200+ books in your Kindle you outta forget which one you took to read instantly. (WARNING A LOT SMUT if you're not into such things don't Read it.) Besides the warning the book actually has the most amazing love story. Tate is completing her nursing education while sharing her brother's house until she finds herself a place. But on her arrival to the apartment she finds Miles Archer passed out on her door. Little do she knows he's not just a drunk stranger but her neighbour and co-pilot like her brother. And also that she'll fall in love with him even when they agreed not to, because of his past which he never want to discuss. If Hot Mystery Romance is your preference, you sure need to give it a go! Once again there's SMUT, skip that part if you wish to.<br />

There's NO BOOK that effected me as much as this one did. I actually won it in a Drawing competition which concerned about making book covers. And I didn't liked it at first since there's no love story that I was able to suspect even after quiet a few pages. But as the story grows and you witness the amount of heartbreaking stuffs Hannah went through before ending her life literally brings shiver down your spine. It starts with Clay, a shy high-school kid who finds a box full of seven cassettes at his doorsteps. Little did he know those cassettes contains Hannah last words where she explains how those twelve people are her 13 reasons why she's ending her life. This book genuinely has miraculous writing, it really-really helped me in some tough times. If you've ever been suicidal, depressed, bullied this is the BOOK for you. It changed me as a person and made me learn to even help other.<br />

Since my whole shelf is absolutely packed, I've turned into an avid e-book reader as well. So, in my little time on Wattpad recently. This was the first book I ever finished. And it had turned out to be one of my most faves. It's Humorous, Romantic, Relatable and everything that I can wish for me. It's a story about a homeless struggling author Mia and Finn the billionaire who apparently publicly announced her 'HIS GIRLFRIEND'. Did I mention there's a love triangle also and a great way to distinguish between true love and mere infatuation. All in All the book is Amazing, it need to be printed and adapted into a Movie that's all I'm gonna say!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Why only five books 'coz winter breaks are smaller than Summer breaks. That's it for this post. If you liked it make sure to share it. Don't forget to follow me on all my social media's for my everyday craziness. And lastly come back tomorrow for a new surprise! Until then checkout my latest youtube video...</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Shh...Behave! Make your values Display,<br />
You can't get everything that you crave.<br />
Hide your Skin; Keep your voice low,<br />
Your beauty should be radiating though.<br />
This is the way you should act,<br />
Timidity makes people attract.<br />
Females are the weaker sex,<br />
Maybe just another pleasing objects.<br />
<br />
If that's how you define a Girl,<br />
Time to punch your head in swirl.<br />
She's a Human like any other being,<br />
Not a robot to follow you agreeing.<br />
It's she who decides what she wanna wear,<br />
It's her decision to shout any-time she cares.<br />
She has got her own mind,<br />
So it's you who's acting blind.<br />
<br />
Feminism isn't always being pretty,<br />
Neither it's about labelling men shitty.<br />
Google the definition if you can,<br />
Feminist means EQUALITY with men.<br />
A society can grow only in balance,<br />
Not by forcing another side Silent.<br />
It's a Body Positive/Anti-Racist/Trans inclusive Club,<br />
That allow every open mind join the hub.<br />
<br />
So here's to the people who call us 'Men-Hating',<br />
I suggest you to change what you're stating.<br />
Fight for equality has never been wrong,<br />
Just another way to build the world strong.<br />
To all the lovely people who support this change,<br />
Time to spread worldwide our message.<br />
Since a high headed woman isn't the problem,<br />
But she's the only way how you can solve them.<br />
<br />

Let's talk about festivals. Well, frankly because I don't really had anything else to talk about now. Since, my semester end is approaching. So from 19th of Nov to 9th of Dec I'll probably be drowned into my course books which I haven't even touched this whole time. So please spare with me. Well once again we are near to that time of the year. And to those whose imagination is on fire by last sentence lemme give it a rest, I'm talking about 'Diwali'. #IndianChristmas Weird trend I know. But let's get into the mood of this amazing festival & go through a list of stuffs, that you probably love to ignore!<br />
<br />

That time of the festive season again. When in the world of Messenger & Whatsapp. Your network company never forgets to send you a freaking text, stating you'll be charged 2x times. No matter you paid them enough to buy new clothes. Your Network Company will never stop drooling for more. Because even they know that no matter whatsoever the Warning, your relative that you don't even know exist will text you a freaking emoticon of earthen lamp wishing you Happy Diwali. And the Drama doesn't end there it'll end with a P.S. note stating "regard *Insert Job Position* *Insert Annoying relative Name* and Family. I mean seriously, why you own a cell-phone.<br />

To a person who don't even have a bit of a sweet-tooth. I can know your struggle. All these fancy wrapped cases. Filled with a huge variety of dry fruits and <i>mithai </i>becomes a nightmare every single time. I mean you do know that we know you might have got it from someone we might know & all you're doing is cleaning the extra baggage from your house. But it's traditions that embark the foundation of the house. "Guests are GODS! And Gods give you great presents." Hello! it's 2015. There are way more things you can genuinely gift. Do you have any idea how much Kurkure is spending on making those sh***y 'Why so Sweet' Ads. I know they're annoying but atleast get their point.<br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>Lightening</b></span><br />

Ah! that tiring day before the main festival. Whether or not the lightening is better than other's houses? Is it exactly the same like last year's? Will decorating that portion be good? Where to fit this lamp? Is it safe to place that lamp there? How you're suppose to put that light over that? The questions can literally challenge the word limit of the post. Especially to a person like me who turns a lot jumpy during those explosive sounds, I'm bound to get myself a little shocked every time I'm coincidently gonna place my hands over the lightening.<br />

"Oh! you only got the pataka's worth just a thousand. We spend five thousands over them." Kinda a normal conversation. Still don't get this concept of buying a bursting explosive worth so many bugs. I mean seriously it's just gonna blast making an annoying sound. What's so good about it? But it's always a competition who made the most noise pollution, air pollution etc. (I know I'm sounding extremely stupid to some people. But just give me a valid reason for your euphoria over a bursting explosive & I make sure I'll change my opinion.)<br />

I mean why is it so hard for people to understand that's it's a Festival to be enjoyed with your Families and Friends. You know there'll be people going crazy on the streets with those explosives. You know there'll be animals running away from those irritating sounds. Then Why? (except in case of serious emergencies) Why are you so eager to take your fancy SUV on a ride in such a festival? There are explosives bursting everywhere don't you get that?<br />

50% off 80% off "with terms & conditions applied" (But rather then writing so we'll just add a small '*' sign instead) only for limited days. Dilwali Bonanza/Sale/Offer even Pre & Post Diwali offers? I mean seriously. Probably I'm not knowing anything about your marketing strategies. But seriously, give us a break to decide. We wanna read the newspaper for the latest or celebrity happenings. not to buy another fridge when We already have a nice one. We don't want to change our whole furniture just because it's Diwali Sale! Please Sound Sensible! We know it's all about your business not our Happiness.<br />
<br />
Well that's it for this time hope you guys enjoyed it. Please share if you do. As I said before I have my exams coming up so it's the last post of the month. But I'll be back as soon as I get free. To all the people who have had got offended from this post, NO SOrrY! Festival is about living in the moments cherishing your relations taking a break. Don't let your fun disturb somebody's else life. That's it for this time. Enjoy this Festival! Have a Happy and Safe Diwali. See you Soon!<br />

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div dir="ltr">
So, it appears my family is very much concerned about my future. That's why every week whenever I'm using my phone infront of my mother she ends up saying, "Just say it openly that you don't wanna study anymore & earn your living. So we start to find you a guy as soon as you Graduate!" *Insert Angery Snores and Probably my Screaming Tears* Maybe she's over-concerned about my career or is it my Marriage. I'm still figuring that out. ( Yeah! I wrote about my mother. Sorry not sorry to anybody offended. ) Basically as always I was clueless about my new post topic. So I turned to my 3 Great advisors Nishtha, Ritu and Tumblr. Who surprisingly said only one thing. LOVE. Why? Why? Why everyone wants to tease me over my Hopelessly Single life. I know Zayn still don't know me even after now that he has turned single. But just have some patience okay! I'm tweeting him everyday. Just Have Faith. But let's give this topic a Try!</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
The first thing, that I mostly hear from my close friends is about my hopeless romantic imagination. Side Effect of excessive Summer-Romance Novel Addiction. Can't Help! As of right now Troye's FOOLS Lyrics : "I see Swimming Pools & Living Rooms & Airplanes, I see a little house on the hills & Children's names. I see quiet nights poured over ice and Tanqueray, But everything is shattering and it's my mistake." Explain my situation pretty well. The 'I-Want-Everything' Attitude of mine is starting to kick my *** now. But who cares about that I'm gonna Get my Alex Kylar soon. To most people LOVE is the strongest emotion. Well, to me it's most confusing. It's kinda impossible to believe that you learn to care about a person more than any one else including yourself? How? It's we who prioritize our stuffs right? Anyways, still struggling to write about this topic. I turned around for some help. And I found it in "<a href="https://www.wattpad.com/story/4250278-how-to-fall-in-love" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #fff2cc;">HOW TO FALL IN LOVE</span></b></a>" by <a href="https://www.wattpad.com/user/roastedpiglet" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cfe2f3;">roastedpiglets</span></a>. In the novel, the protagonist Mia writes,</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>(She starts writing Sharing FrenchFries. Nah! Not happening in my Case.) Humans are conceived into the universe for a very limited time & during the course of their lives we meet thousands of people but connect with only a few. These few people once they leave through choice/circumstances/DEATH will shatter the hearts of the ones left behind. So, before that happens, make sure you have no regrets. Attempt to treat them the way your heart truly desires, the way you know is right. Remember to Laugh with them, tell them what you truly think and love them with all you have - no walls held, not afraid of misunderstandings & caring unconditionally. Because loving like that so sincerely, selflessly & sacrificially - is how you fall in LOVE.</b></blockquote>
</div>
Sums it all I guess? Hmm...probably not my commentary is still needed anyway. All I meant to say is Number One, yes! I'm probably not the best person who is here lecturing you in thousands words on how you should feel about an abstract feeling. Number Two, just b'coz of my lack of experience doesn't mean I'm incapable to express and understand your situation. We often hear that when into a feeling of Love we begin to get addicted to it. Which is definitely better than Drug Addiction or any other bad things of it's kind. So, if you're in Love. Congrats! Hope it's the beautiful form of Forever that you're experiencing. (Not in the creepy Twilight kinda way!) Single AF or too Awesome for anybody (Like Me) Enjoy the slideshow whenever you close your eyes. And make Zayn Malik know that I Love Him!<br />
<br />
Just had a BreakUp/Feeling Hurt. Don't worry it's just a phase that'll pass through time. It might be feeling like the end of the world. Believe me it's not. You're braver than what anybody else. Remember Lady Gaga said," No matter Gay, Straight or Bi, Lesbian, Transgender Life. I'm on the right track baby. I was born to survive!" People not accepting you believe me One Day they WILL. And you should be there to witness that. Wait until the time I'll meet you. So, we can have a race to finish all supply of McDonalds FrenchFries! Believe me I can't wait for it.<br />
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<b>There are millions of Souls out there,</b><b>Each one Special in it's Own.</b><b>Don't waste time to Count them all,</b><b>For your heart is Only One.</b><b>If there's someone out there,</b><b>Who's perfect for you.</b><b>Then be proud of your reflection,</b><b>Stop trying to be Someone you Knew!</b></h2>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The other day, I and my sister were having a conversation. I
at random spoke, “It’s such a privilege. That we have the capability to read
what we have written or just read in common. Imagine what if we don’t.” No
matter how amazed I was about this topic, she </span>wasn't<span style="font-family: inherit;">. OK! I know if you burst
out randomly about “literacy” in the middle of a talk concerning One Direction.
People do seem shocked. But </span>I'm<span style="font-family: inherit;"> an Over-thinker. And you being one of those people
that I can hold on a talk with…always be ready for my random crap. By the way I
instead went like, “Fine. Remember our Gujrat trip? Or don’t you remember the
feelings we get while watching an Anime. We are clueless of what is being
written.” Maybe this event </span>didn't<span style="font-family: inherit;"> matter to you at a level it does to me.
Because it do made me rethink my ways. To a person like me who spends 80% of
her life reading every single story that fascinates her. Followed by spending another
hours developing baseless conspiracy theories about it. Reading is indeed the
biggest blessing of my life.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://31.media.tumblr.com/9d352c13f6090a977102de2b3d5f4218/tumblr_inline_mquvylO6Pv1qz4rgp.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://31.media.tumblr.com/9d352c13f6090a977102de2b3d5f4218/tumblr_inline_mquvylO6Pv1qz4rgp.gif" height="356" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Ever been to a different country/City/Place? You might have
known the struggle. When English turns into only medium of conversation. (In
case your mother-tongue is solely English. And </span>you've never<span style="font-family: inherit;"> been through such
scenario. Too bad, Languages are fun! Learn more.) We always brush
away these things. I mean seriously, even I don’t do that. How weird will
it be? But imagine thousands of those people who can’t. Poverty and people
suffering with it somehow affect me the hardest. I don’t know why but I feel a
shame in the eyes of my maid, every time she comes up to me with the calendar asking
to read where the coming festival gonna be.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I do tell her anyway. Not because I pity for her inability to read. Instead I’m
proud of her. Confused? Don’t be. I’m proud because she’s one intelligent human
being. She’s not letting her situation get the
better of her and especially her children. She is providing them with the best
of education and vocational training that they deserve. That’s something with
Indians right? No matter what we’ve seen in the past. We work day and night to
make sure our future isn’t affected by it. Result? From 1947 when the literary
rate of the nation was as low as 12% turns out to be 75% in 2011 census. But
that’s not it. It shouldn’t be a full stop to our development.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">But instead new goals should be more properly designed.
Like? Biggest requirement is equality in job opportunities, education etc.
Still, millions of women are married right after they pass their school or even
worse 8<sup>th</sup>/10<sup>Th</sup> standard. To my shock most of my friends
even consider learning household chores more important than building a career.
Secondly, proper studying environment need to be made. Things like long power
cuts, unhygienic school surrounding, earning pressure have always been a
biggest hurdle in rural education. Eradication of such evils can help benefit
the society at a higher scale than imagined.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Lastly, there should definitely be Freedom of choice.
Remember the iconic three idiots dialogue “What if Sachin Tendulkar parents
asked him to have a career in Singing. And Lata Mangeshkar’s parents wanted her
to be a cricketer?” Your career should be a definition of yourself. Something
that you’re Proud and most of all Happy to do. Make sure you become an Asset
rather than a Liability. Think what you’ll say to the world rather than what
will People say? (Log Kya Kahenge?) If you choose to pursue your dreams
despite of the opposition. You should be determined enough to make it Big by your Hard-Work.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
