Oh Come On, Everybody Does It!
You talk behind their backs all day, but in front, you smile and sway. Why do you act, why pretend? “Everybody does it! That’s the way”.
Water flows, you let it waste. Don’t you see the damage it causes? Why ignore it, why don't you care? "Oh come on, everybody does it! It’s just everywhere”.
“You have your period? Sit outside today, while others pray to some metal and clay. What? Come on, everybody does it! Who am I to disobey!?"
You grumble at work, say it’s unfair, but never speak when the time is there. Why do you stay quiet, why not fight? "Oh come on, everybody does it!" - but is that right?
Plastic trash, you throw away. Animals suffer every day. Why not stop, why have no heart? "Oh come on, everybody does it! - anyway, that's not my part”.
She did wrong to me. Why didn’t you say it? Why did you just hide and look away? Yes, it might have caused some strife, but at least we would have cleared the uncomfortable vibe. "Oh come on, everybody does it, and why me? I didn't want to pay the price."
Just because it’s common, does that make it right? Where is your mind, your senses, your sight ? They say-
Sometimes we follow the “Masses”, without a clue ;
psst..do keep a watch when the “M” goes missing too!

Subtract human voices and what do you hear!
Continuing on same thought- Lastweek, I was driving to a birthday party and got stuck under this under-construction metro station signal. Rather than enjoying music on the jam-packed roads and endless red signals, I looked up and started worrying, \"What if this metro stati...
Small Wins
I have a strange relationship with productivity. Like most people, I am not productive every day. But I have a pattern. I am productive for around 3 days in a row. Then my productivity dips to zero, with a thud. On such days, I am not productive at all.I need to slack off....
Social Media: Just consumption or Survival?
This has been a topic of my mind lately. I believe this might stem from the news consumption on the migrant crisis happening across the west (Europe + American continent).
