A vent of emotions.........

The business communication class on 8/9/10 @ IIM Shillong witnessed some high adrenalin scenes .The topic of competition vs self satisfaction was broached by a dear friend which took the entire class into a mode of frenzy.Issues of stereotypical grooming,monotonous upbringing were brought up.The very fact that people do not explore the multitude of options that life offers leads to dejection and withdrawal at a later stage.We all have blinkers attached to our temples that make us see only in one direction,thus narrowing our aim to petty materialistic needs.People claimed that parents and relatives have a significant contribution in molding us into machines who are deprived from exploring creative facets of their personality.I beg to differ here.Parents hold the most important places  in our lives and the reason for their sermons is pure concern.Probably the fault lies in our communication and conviction.We can say "I am not really affected if I score low,I am in for knowledge" but how many of us actually mean it.How many of us can stand up for ourselves and choose the unconventional path thus pursuing it with determination.These are questions we need to ask ourselves.Mahatma Gandhi said "The greatest court of law in this world is Man's own conscience".So any moral dilemma can be best resolved through self introspection.I am confident that if every individual does contemplate on this issues of life,our country would rise to the zenith of glory with its bevy of enlightened human beings.
