Collage

I was confused for a while. Whether I should title it as "Collage" or should I name it "Cocktail". Anyway eventually I settled for collage over cocktail. All I remember of the cocktails is the joy my friends used to derive while sipping drops from the fancy glasses in princely style and the stinking shitty smell of the semi solid waste they would push back up through esophagus. The process is called vomiting.

Collage is much better title for the content of the day. Because today I am going to write on diverse range of topics and episode in and around me.

So my factory staff accompanied me to Noida. He helped in shifting and settling stuff at my place. He is a typical villager, whose life's tension has taken a toll over his body. Just like mine has started taking nowadays. The only difference is my ageing is accelerating without any visible tension. His teeth are reddish and black in color. Most of it has already decayed, thanks to heavy consumption of tobacco. With ear machine, glasses and thin lean tired body structure, at times he look lost. But he is an expert. He can fix electricity, carpentery and general furniture fitting related work at good speed. Out of curiosity, I asked him, how many kids he has? He said two. With little lowering in voice, He added "both are girls". I started counting him government schemes for girls like SABLA, Balika Vidya Dhan, Education schemes.

It gave me an opportunity to see the prevailing psychology in the society. He gave different arguments. One, each girls bring their destiny with them. What can we do? Second, No body knows about these schemes. Government never tells. Some people says, girl is responsibility and boy is luxury. At other times, we here government doesn't do anything.I spotted different emotions in this. Like first case it was anxiety and learned helplessness. Second time it is hopelessness and lack of faith. In 3rd case, It is bias, prejudice. In forth case, It is blame tendency, projection and transfer of responsibility.

The problem with collage style is time. It is time consuming process to write large blogs. I wanted to write in details about each of the emotion and attitude but clock stops me from doing so.

To sum up, let me write 3 case studies as well.
Brazil where economic stimulus had reverse effect. It led to shrinking of economy.
Second Ambagad village where villager imposed tax on open defecation. Third case is Kovarbai, 104 year old lady who sold her goat to build the toilet.

Anyway, going to sleep now. Wish to write a lot but it takes time. I had thought I would compile lot of case studies and write about human emotions which I see on day to day basis. But seems like I could not do well. In the effort to write all that is cooking up in mind and competing with clock, I end up compromising with quality and jump helter-skelter.

So now enough of jumping. Time to jump on bed for sleeping. Need to wake up before Suryadev.. :)

Good night.
