#Article370

PC - News18

Over the past 16 days I have tried to read and listen to as many opinions as I could. Both in favour and against the scrapping of #Article370 irrespective of my personal belief and views on the matter.

Although, honestly I am not sure if I have any. Its two weeks and having heard both sides I am still divided. But what's weird, is there are only 3 men from Kashmir I personally know who I have had discussions in the past. All three of them are moderate in their beliefs and considerate towards other communities as well unlike how many would like them to be portrayed, but today I don't see either of them supporting what's going on. They are the people who have lived in Kashmir and know ground realities better than many of us will ever know.

I might not have the knowledge, experience and expertise to speak on such matters but  reading School time textbooks on Politics offlate just made me feel their voices need to be heard. That's the least we could do. Before we shape their destiny, they deserve to have a say. I don't know much but I guess that's something we teach our kids in school. Equality and Freedom is what we stand for as a democracy. Don't we?

The way men in our army has suffered is beyond repair. Pain of refugees is real too. But as somebody ordinary who doesn't understand much, my only concern is in any case, whether we take up the army, refugees, or the local Kashmiris it's the common man that suffers.

If this is a permanent solution with temporary troubles? I am not sure and I don't think many of us are.

    As an individual we may have different views on Article 370,but making up our minds based on what media tell us might not be the good idea. People who live there are the only one who exactly know what are the situation over there, we might not be.
    Vaishnavi, your views on this matter seems to be mature and unbiased.

Strange...

Today I got to know something about Korea that I thought was really strange. Gambling is generally prohibted for Koreans. Hailey told us that there is a huge Cassino in Korea where Koreans are not allowed to enter. It is only for the Foreigners or Koreans that have an American citizenship. In case of many clubs the situation is completely opposite. Lawrence told us that there are a lot of clubs which are meant for Koreans only and Foreigners are not allowed there. I found it really weird because I don't think there is any such similiar thing in India.

First Sunset in South Korea

Date- 01/09/2017 I love watching sunsets. In the evening I was feeling a little upset so just went to the ground. I walked a bit and then sat on the grass for a while. While sitting there, I noticed sun was about to set so I began to notice. I wasn't really in the mood and did not really enjoy it much but felt good to notice the sunset after long. I did not had much to do today. In the morning, we went for the Induction of Korean language class. Professor Park Sun Kyu is going to be our teacher for the Korean language class. Initially, I just hated the Korean language when I tried to speak a few Korean words through some apps back in India. But after coming here and learning a couple of words I am beginning to enjoy it. I also learnt how to introduce myself in Korean. Now I really want to learn Korean. I think its gonna be fun. Our classes will be starting from monday and I will be selecting my courses tomorrow. I am feeling really sleepy right now so good night guys. 😊 ...

Stop Expecting Them To Understand!

Source - Pixabay The advice we empathetically present to our friends is often the same ones we learnt too late, at a cost we wish wasn't so huge. As you tell them that not all has been lost and their worth and what they bring to the table is way beyond the biggest of their dreams and worst of their failings they may have known. Yet in your own shoes, besides all the words you throw around to sooth your heart ache, you often feel defeated and lost beyond despair.  You finally woke up but knowing that it probably is already too late doesn't really help your sleep. Nor does it do much to help you get out of bed as suddenly you begin to wake up with the worst of your fears each day. There is so much you know today; you just wish you had garnered enough will yesterday. But, I guess Bob Marley was right when he said, "You never know how strong you are, until being strong is your only choice."  © Source: Quotespedia Me being me, I didn't come back to my senses untill all...
