BEING COMMITTED!!

This season of the year would be the perfect time to write this blog! I’m going to write about being committed!! Before you draw any conclusion, the commitment I mean here is in terms of love (or) so called love!! Hmmm well I’m going to narrow down the topic to youngsters (below 22). I asked few of my friends if they get committed to any girl or a guy, what would the reason be? One babe said “I think I won’t get committed at least for sometime now. Even if I get committed it might be just for fun”. When I asked her why she quickly added “I think being committed to someone at this age is way too dramatic because you feel restrained on all grounds...You feel there’s some kind of a thing that stops you from being what you want to be”. Her point is agreeable because once you get committed slowly possessiveness creeps in! It’s not wrong to be possessive in a relationship but then when both are too young it becomes difficult to handle. The mind set & attitude of a matured relationship cannot be expected in these commitments made at a very young age! Hmmm I personally feel the word commitment itself is too high for such a relationship. May be they could say they are dating each other! It could be called a commitment, when they are sure in all probabilities that the relationship would end in wedlock! Now the moment I mentioned dating there might be few raised eye brows!! The word dating is most times presumed wrongly. Dating is more like socializing with a guy or a girl, about whom you want to know more!! To date someone till you are sure that you both have high compatibility & then getting committed is entirely different!! But most guys & girls get committed or they call it so, when they have hardly known each other!! I have come across people who are committed just for the heck of it!! How many of it would end up in wedlock? When I asked few of my friends about it, they said, they weren’t sure if they would end up marrying the same person!! They only hoped so!! Hmmm hoping is not everything!! Most of them aren’t sure why they are committed! Few get committed out of desperation!! Few because most of their friends are committed!! Few out of curiosity, few because of their mushy nature, few just at the sway of the moment!! When it comes to the constancy of such relationships it’s unreliable!! People justify their so called commitments naming them as eternal, heartwarming, blissful & ….. It goes on!! Whatever it is, everyone deserves to live their life, the way they want it to be!! But a well lived life is a life without regrets!! Whatever relationship you are in, see to that you have no regrets about it at any time in your life!! After all nothing in this world is worth your happiness & the feeling of gratification & gladness of a life well lived!!

Holidays-->Boredom-->Blogging-->LTTE-->??!!

I would be busy coping with my college studies & projects if not for the astounding announcement of the state government to shut down the colleges across the state indefinitely.The reason cited was due to the catastrophe of civil war in Sri Lanka.The civil war was an ongoing ado from early 70's.So what's with it now?Well,innocent civilians are being killed.To be more precise the Tamils of Sri lanka are being killed by the Lankan army.Many groups are protesting here & across the globe against the Lankan government.Few political parties are asking the Indian government to pressurize the Lankan government to stop waging the war.Would it be politically ethical for a country like India to intervene in the internal sovereignity of a country by puissance.Hmmm when ever a war is on civilians of the respective countries die.That's a world phenomenon.The war is between Lankan govt & the LTTE.There has been loss of life on both the sides.I'm not shielding the Lankan govt,but loss of life of the civilians during war is absolutely inevitable.LTTE's ultimatum is for the self determination of Tamil Eelam.I agree to the fact that the Tamils of Lanka were ill treated for many years,which resulted in the formation of such a militant organization.But would any nation agree to forgo a part of their soil just because the demands of the militant organisation could be justified to a certain extent on the the grounds of inequality suffered by them?In all senses it would be a big NO.What was the Indian government's stand when there was an upsurge for a Dravidanad?Any separatist movement was considered ill legal.Lashkar-e-toiba is fighting for separating Kashmir from India,could we just give it to them?LeT is a terrorist organisation.LTTE has not much difference.Right to life is the same for every human being.What about the Aranthalawa Massacre,Anuradhapura massacre & Dehiwala train bombing?Many innocent civilians of Sri Lanka died.It was done by the LTTE just to prove a point for their cause.Thirty plus years of war in a country.The continuing insecurity for the very existence of life itself.What's the future of the people?Fighting a war for peace & equality is like .....(hope u get it).The best for the country & the people would be to live in harmony,to be unified as a single state under one government which not treats the citizens as Lankans & Tamils but as the citizens of the Sri Lankan Republic as such.For such a new dawning it is indeed necessary to uproot any militant organisation which causes impediment for the same.I guess the day is not far when the people of Sri Lanka will have a new genesis of life,liberty & pursuit of happiness.
