Individual Imagination and Corruption?



 My first article for Vivid Magazine titled:Individual Imagination and corruption...Very much grateful to Vivid team for My first post for Vivid 

                    Imagination turned into hallucination with fear in mind for it turning into reality sometime /aftertime. Aftertime...It can be afterlife.Dreams,sadly cannot be termed as imagination but as matter of observation ,both can be realized with open eyes and closed eyes.Dreams are superficial and highly volatile but at times they proves as the oars guiding destiny of an individual or many individuals.Crowd,a group of many individuals with individual passion and dreams ,yet ironically,we always do a statistical analysis or a mass observation by taking individuals as a crowd.Their imagination is lost in the sea of oblivion where the many dreams make a crowd and imagination its boundary.The mind becomes a sycophant or servile flatterer of the heart imagining that sometime,someday their dreams will come true and dreams will get turned into reality.A fact so strong in the sub consciousness that it always becomes the driving force of a man's success.The reality is always mocked but the dreams are hated because for it lacks an instant reality-converter characteristics.It checks the strength of imagination as well as the bootlicker mind who always seeks permission of the heart for every executions of our actions.Most of us cannot surpass the will of the heart and are lost in the web of our dreams which indeed is woven with the sheer help of our imagination.Nevertheless,successful individual are entirely opposite but the crowd is never taken as a successful entity.Sometimes crowd is massive but once the individuals of the crowd starts proving their own imagination,it becomes like a misguided kite in a calm weather.Let us take a practical example:Movement against corruption-We are a crowd with a common goal -To curb corruption,To bring back Black money,etc etc .But do we stick to it as an individual.A straight answer ,"No".You will say,"We strike to change this mentality".
Being frank in a realistic way,an individual is easy to govern and mange but a crowd with infinite imagination and dreams with a boot licking mind and an emotional heart,Can this be achieve in today's scenario of globalization and cut throat competition which starts right from our birth where our father fights to get a doctor and a nurse plus a ward for me to come out.A child fight for marks to get a job,he fight for his love otherwise he may get arranged by sheer imagination and dreams of his family.Indeed,he fights till he reaches heaven or hell.Who knows,he have to fight to get a rebirth or salvation.Gita says about karma.Go on doing your karma and you will get results,but at the cost of corruption/humiliation/dissatisfaction.It tells us to fight.Fight,as an individual taking others towards a common goal .We can certainly do this.We did.We will do it again.It is a basic instinct by definition.Fight till death till someone grow and fight your fight.The circle goes on and on.The perspective of the discussion may have a degree of psychological inclination but it tries to strike right into the hearts of the common whose wisdom lies in fighting back with dignity and if he fails it is never late for him to make an obtuse angle for evils like corruption and truthfulness and faithfulness finds a very acute place.Still nothing changes instantly but the change is felt in the long run.May be the fight today is towards political corruption but the loophole lies in our own development.We make the system corrupt and the system punishes us.Its never late to let our imagination and dreams combined together with a bold mind and led with a strong will and take a plunge into the sea which is not blue but black .A great teacher said,"The Homo Sapiens community must be divided into four groups namely A,B,AB and O with respective biological classification.I felt ,if not now but when their would be scarcity of water,food and shelter and when money would have lost its significance,then the entire human race would be distributed as above.May be it is a sort of prediction but what made him think of biological division of a crowd a mandatory one and above caste division of today.May be he was irked by the callousness of social evils or may be was highlighted in the society by his caste or may be his blood group was a rare one.
Be whatever the point,i hold the view of him being felt dissatisfied of his past,present and future generation.His imaginations and dreams never caught hold of each other and might have been mutilated and moulded by the circumstances of which he never had any control of it.This is seen everywhere.People make various observations and make inferences and take it as a benchmark for their experience with have a denying attitude for accepting the new generation thoughts and passion.This picture is a common show in the corporate sector.And still young follows the old with a background dream of thinking that when old perish they will be the hero of the story titled,Old vs New.This goes on and on.The old fights for the new and the new fights for themselves and their successor.The fight goes on and on.

  2. hey a very nice writeup.. corruption is something which is deep rooted in India.. i sometime feel an uneducated and un-invaded (ruled by England) India was better than the educated India today, where people look for a reason to kill each other..

    1. true,corruption is deep rooted in India,it is only because of the desire to want more and more without effort.And your view that India was better than the educated India today -I am not on the same platform as you,my friend.Its always better to rule than to be ruled.And it is today's India where we do what we want...

    2. nice words...let it change the minds who reads

      To change this scenario
      Stop blaming who takes corruption
      instead, STOP GIVING corruption

      Each individual one by one can clean the country

    3. agree with you,but not one by one ,only together in an enthusiastic crowd driven with an intension to achieve a single goal,then only the success will be ours.
