Impromptu #1

I think this blog has gotten a lil bit too serious and has far too little of randomness, so, i'm going to start a series of posts labelled impromptu which will contain random, unorganized thoughts posted as they cross my mind. Hopefully, this will let me cover a wider range of my thoughts and opinions while keeping the blog uncluttered.

#1

This number, i'd like to call the number of madness. Atleast in Hyderabad where i live, it is.
The simple reason being everyone craves for that number being applied to them. Any other seems like too much of an insult to bear. I really wonder why. I agree, striving for perfection is good, but aiming at the stars while forgetting about the ground that you're walking on isn't. The best example for this would be a look at school's in Hyderabad. The parents' want only their child to be ranked as number 1 and refuse to accept that there can only be one first ranker in a class of 30, talk about forgetting reality. Anyway, I guess this just goes to show how much people crave power and just how much power a simple number holds in public perception of a person. The difference between 1 and 2 is no longer 1, atleast not when it comes to perception of these ranks.


PS - I thought id keep my private life out of this blog entirely, but some things are far too important  to keep out. 
My Brother got married recently, and an amazing time i had, That's the reason why there was such a long gap since my previous post. I'll get back to regular posting now. Cya folks around!
