As I post and comment on political development on social media, some people got curious. That wonder me a lot, about how observative are they. Their observation somehow is a right judgment that I am interested in politics. But I never plan and throw myself into a political debut in the future. I won’t be a potential candidate. Having given my thoughtful consideration to the matter, I have concluded that…

Where is one’s moral responsibility?
I need to change and trying best. Similarly, encountered so many people whose mindsets need to change. Sometimes I think maybe speaking with an inebriated stage. In my case, I do not explain much to people. I know the explanation is waste of time, people only want to hear what they want to hear and so act according to their mood/situation. I am shocked. I am still searching for an…

I say, if you criticize, would you like to think of a solution?
It is no wonder, the biggest challenge we face today is not willing to work. It is not willing to work together. Among hundred, only a few people are willing to contribute and support. The place we work and live is surrounded by the complaining, undermining, discouraging, underestimating, ready to fire and point the finger at someone’s fall, ego clash, jealousy, judgemental, and possessive. In reality, I have not seen…
Dreams become a wing of success!
I have dreams in my life. Earlier my dream as a student is to become a driver, police, teacher, Health Assistant (AH), and agriculture extension officer, and forest guard. As a child, I am able to see only these civil servants as an icon of my life after class X and XII. That’s only thought for a hinterland world. We cannot dream and expect more than what has been seen…
