From a quote

It is said that power corrupts, but actually it's more true that power attracts the corruptible. The sane are usually attracted by other things than power.
- David Brin (1950 - )
got this from quotationspage.com

I saw this quote today.. needless to say i liked it.. Well for me there are two sides to this quote..

Side 1:
Its true.. Power is attractive to people who are corruptible.. Think of this.. why would someone WANT power? Its definitely not becoz they want it as a momento.. They want to do something about it.. What is the reason that humans do something? mostly it is selfishness.. Even the most 'selfless' have done something for their own good.. It may not be even be that big so as to overshadow their selfless deals but definitely all human beings are selfish.. Its easy to see that the degree of selfishness varies.. Some mayb selfish to the extent that they would do anything to get their ends fullfilled some maybe selfish to very small degrees that no one even notices it.. So if the case is former then 'monetary benefits' can be one major factor for wanting power.. that makes them corrupt..

Side 2:
Who gains power automatically?? A 'sane' person or a corruptible one?? Who is entrusted with power initially?? I say its the 'sane' people! Its like leadership.."people who are born leaders are entrusted with duties without them asking for it"quoting one of my friends.. They would have been too used to having power that they do not want to work for more.. So they distribute it thinking that someone else should also get recognition.. Thats when oppurtunity strikes for the 'i-want-power' people.. And well one good thing about these people.. they are good at knowing what door is going to open for them.. These people are tactful to do exactly what is seemingly righteous so as to get to their goal.. So if a sane person was as tactful enough and knew what was going on in his surrouding i think that can make the society less corrupt.. So my advice to all people who are 'sane' is that please do what you can to stop corruption.. India needs to get better.. Be street smart not just selfless[:)]

Study leave!

so its study leave again!!
Mom's home everyday now.. so cant even tell her that i 'had' been studying like i used to in school days and til s4 in colg too.. Well now did i lie to my mom then??? i dont think so.. coz i did study for 5 mins in a day then too.. Thank goodness she never asked me for how much time then.. i wud really have been screwed then.. Nowadays its really hard to prove to my mom that i have been studying..
Only thing she would allow other than study is to sleep.. ohk for all you ppl out ther who are gona say i m lucky think again.. My dad is the exact opposite.. He would never let me sleep.. So now its like keeping my book open and day dreaming.. Again trouble mom knows exactly wat i m doing.. even if i m staring at the book[:P]

Anyone having any suggestions is welcome to comment[:D]

Mom's the best friend that i have ever known.. So here's something i dedicate to her:

When i get up i thank god
that i have someone to turn to,
that i have someone i can share everything with...

You are someone who understands me like no other
You have been with me through thick and thin
You have been there to scold me,to tease me, and to share my joys,
To tell me what i m doing is wrong(but ya i know i retort back like a normal teenager then)

Sorry ma, if i ever hurt you..
You are the best thing that could happen to me..:)

Note:this post maybe out of context and may seem like its not a poem or a prose but thats what i wanted it to be..

Being busy 2

Ohk.. i had written a post before.. about being busy..

Well i have always wanted free time somehow i never got it.. Is it gud or bad.. tat was always my qn.. Today taught me that i cant define if its gud or bad.. but i do know tat its not me..

Most of my friends would agree on this when i say i am usually very busy.. some may term me not having time for them as "jada" to put it in malayalam terms.. But if they are close to me they know that i always find time for ppl who are close to me.. I like being occupied.. and i m sorry if anyone is hurt by it..

Today well in the morning when i went to college i knew this wasnt a typical day in the life of sindhya kartha.. coz well i always have a plan for a day and its always jam packed.. today my only agenda in college was to write a rough record.. Half way through i learned that there was no need to keep the record.. Ya well i m a person whose feelings are reflected on my face and my closest friends could definitely see through it..there were some ppl who saw that i wasnt myself.. they thought i was sad..(vin,rosh,pri,ans,anv,hari,kish i m really glad to have you as my friends, you ppl are the best!!:)) Well ya even i knew i was a bit jumpy but i dint know the reason.. And when they asked why i said nothing.. but it was evident something was bothering me..

Then well one of my friends asked me to do the record work for her.. And to my own surprise i was happy to do it.. She still thinks i did it for her.. But lil did she realize that it was for me that i did it:)

Also learnt something else.. Little things and non-stop chatting can make me happy.. Thank god for that:)
