We must strive to see things 'as it is' rather than 'as we are'. Do not let our limited knowledge/beliefs bind the boundless. The possibilities we see are inversely proportional to our tendency of judgement. If the tendency becomes zero, it will open the door to infinite possibilities .

The one who understands the difference between virtuous and virtual seldom dares to compare pride and arrogance. Praying to the virtuous (Ram) to desire the virtual (Ravan's Gold) is the best example of penetration of hypocrisy to our conscience.

Pretended justice is the worst form of justice....
It suppresses all voices under the weight of wishful celebration...

Prophesying Renaissance

In the eyes of my brothers and sisters, I witness profound pain....
It moves my pen, trembling, under the weight of socio-economic disdain....

Trained by life's stern academy, my conscience urges to rebel....
To challenge the status quo, to rise, to dispel.....

I know the change will come....
For I may pass but leaving few sparks at home.....

One day these sparks will join each other.
The differences will be eliminated to counter the weather....

And that day my friend many souls will rest in peace....
A new policy will prevent this tradeoff of our pride as fees.....

The current aim may appear hefty, a load to bear......
Yet within, 'Kalki' awaits, the future you seek, already there.....

Let your pen be your 'Gandeev'...
Rising for what's just, regardless of the majority's reprieve.....

I am always against self masking behaviour to conform to societal norms or organisation's expectations because eventually they all want you to become dummies and follow instructions/norms set by someone they worship.
In the bargain you lose yourself, the best that already resides in you. You will always contribute better when you are who you are but for most of us it's a mystery to discover our true self which is hidden beneath the layers imposed on us sometimes by us and sometimes by others.

Is it not our purpose to recall ourselves? May be as Michelangelo says by chipping away everything that is not truly you. They include so many biases, fears, false assumptions and behaviours you picked up while trying to conform to family, community, society, work place etc.

Self remembering is not a one day affair but it is surely the right direction where we must make our move consistently.

When I challenge the status quo, it's to evangelize innovation rather than devaluing the old norms. It's not my questions that trouble; perhaps it's the spine that appears odd among subservients. A single island amidst a calm sea may look odd, but that's the only hope for those lost in the sea. Be the oasis in the desert because it's the last resort for many who encounter it on the verge of dying.

You may close your eyes or look the other way, but death is inevitable and unpredictable. We are born empty-handed and will depart in the same manner. What's the point of living a suffocating life when all we need is air, water, and food to survive? I know you will ignore this message and once again immerse yourself in pursuing virtual goals created by your mind to keep you busy and detached from reality. This illusion, known as Maya, persists until our last breath.

Corruption in our society is not a rigid line but it is different for everyone based on where his/her mind is able to fool his/her conscience. The World is Grey as white is being worn to hide the black.

Your pursuits are never visible but spending time challenging your own limits will certainly help you realise your potential and awaken your talents. Life is never about a goal rather it's journey of evolution.

Crave not for people to appreciate you rather let the appreciation come from solitude.

Silence speaks the truth but to hear it one has to cut off all the noise.

We often mistake the reflections of our loved ones in the sea for reality, unaware that they've been soaring above the mountains all along. This leads us to undervalue what we have, always seeking a plateau instead of appreciating the peaks.
