So recently I was watching this dance show on television and
this girl came to perform; now she wasn’t like the others. Normally, standards
set by these dance shows are really high and everyone expects mind blowing
dances, well this dance wasn’t when I watched it in ‘coming up’. But, when I
watched the real thing I was on the verge of tears. This girl I just mentioned,
well she can’t hear neither speak and then it left me wondering, we judge
people so fast, don’t we? We’re always passing comments on any random stranger,
without knowing anything about them and it’s really saddening. This girl, she
was so confident, she was smiling. A question that kept lingering in my head
for a very long time after I watched that episode was, you know how these
people can’t speak or hear or can’t see, but are always happy and we can speak
and we’re so privileged and yet we have so many problems, it never seems to
end. Isn’t it supposed to be the other way round? We’re never happy with
anything, we’re always finding faults. Is this what our lives are worth?
Backward region children. Well, we’re all aware of them
aren’t we? We’re always cribbing about how we don’t have the best of the
teachers, how the air conditioner of our classroom is not working, how our books
have not been printed properly and so on. Ever thought about these kids who
don’t get proper education what so ever? These kids don’t have proper education
facilities, these kids don’t get brand new books neither do they have proper
notebooks or air conditioned rooms and if they can get a sixty on hundred
without all of these facilities, how hard is it for us, us who get such good
facilities to get a sixty. Look at the difference.
So we’ve been having student council elections in school
lately and as student council elections come near, there comes a whole lot of
drama, a whole lot of changes. I mean the people who looked lousy the entire
year now look like soldiers, head straight up, trying to impress every single
teacher there is! I’m not saying this is wrong, do it. But do it, for the whole
year. And seriously don’t lie in your speech, for heaven’s sake. Even if you
lie in your speech have the courtesy to live up to it. And then comes to
voting, stop bribing people to give you votes. Also, the policy of ‘vote for
vote’ is really annoying, such stupid alliances.
