A Sad attidtude story

Suresh, Dinesh, Ramesh and Mahesh, were friends from college days. Seen their good days, bad days been together for about 10 years. These guys used to meet regularly and hang out together almost daily.

One fine day Ramesh decided to take a trip and the guys along with their wives n kids, who were very familiar with each other as they had been interacting at many gatherings and outings. 4 families, 2 cars zoomed over to Shimla for a 3 day outing which was supposed to be a whole lot of fun as their previous outings had been.

After a smooth day, fun of fun after resting from travel, the tired kids went to bed. Suresh and Dinesh along with their wives sat n had a nice round of chit chat before they decided to crash into their beds. Just when all seems to go nice and fun filled, an argument crops up between Ramesh n Mahesh….takes a slight ugly turn and there is friction. Both curse each other, with wives left staring and wondering what went wrong. Bed time follows the bad mood….with both fuming with anger.

Patriotism, a shame???

We all know who Chanakya was and how shrewd and successful his policies were. I was reading his book the other day and there were so many things I agreed to but 1 thing which got me into a big confusion was his policy of patriotism, as per my understanding he says, if your country does not give you the pride to be associated with it the shun it and move on….although this is very impractical, it did get me thinking.

Me being such a patriotic guy, respect national symbols, get angry when people talk against my country and many such things. Is there any justification to it…??

Yes our sports has imporved tremendously, some big business tycoons are making news. But when it comes to almost all other things it is such a shameful and sorry figure of my motherland being portrayed. All the mass is busy in accumulating wealth and investing abroad and maintaining so called bulky balance in the very famous Swiss Bank.
