White hairs

 


 

 It's a known fact that there are two things that must be done in life according to almost, everyone.

1) Get a job.

2) Marriage

These two are understandable goals, first one is that you even can't live without it, but what about the second? 

There have been plenty of people in the history, present and even in the upcoming future who live without it or most importantly, do it according to the time they wish to do so.

But, alas, that's not how an Asian Society works, 

Time is ticking, 

Body is aging,

Close-mindedness is you.

Your youth stands far away from you, like the beautiful sunset that will eventually dip in it's horizon, not to be seen again anytime soon.

Your face is weary and wrinkled now, 

Your mind no longer open to new experiences and beliefs no longer flexible or being shaken profoundly during rough times. 

Marry anyone you like, whoever can please us and doesn't completely upturn the equilibrium of the household.

Your current partner needs more time to think? Haven't told her parents yet? What about friends?

 (Meh, the latter aren't important anyways)

Break it off, they say, not serious about taking it forward then, just stringing you along, to end up nowhere.

I look at their white hairs and wonder, so I am going to be one them too?

Pressurizing by expectations, doubting when people question me about it, influencing things to go their way, and eventually timing someone's life decision earlier than they want it to be?

Getting references is half the problem, staying in the job is a real struggle

 Australia is a reference based market.  One of my friends, Puthun, said they put people's hard copy resumes in the bin straight away since they didn't come through a reference.  Another girl working at Coles said if they aren't hiring, then even references don't work.  Also, Japanese restaurants hire Japanese people, Korean restaurants will hire their own nationality etc. Nothing personal, they are likely to understand their language, their way of cooking. doing things around the café and be easier to work with the staff.  I got my first two jobs through reference but unfortunately, lost both of them, one of them, due to lack of meeting targets that were set for me and another one, I left since they postponed my payment every time I asked them when they were going to pay my salary.  I really admire people who get references, use it wisely and stay in the job no matter what, without getting kicked out, or leaving it voluntarily.  They are way better th...

When government going on "attack" mode on religion makes sense

 So, let me find something in support of the government,  Conducting raids at 28 locations in Chennai, Coimbatore and other places in connection with Paul Dhinakaran's Christian missionary ‘Jesus Calls’.  So, why was this done? Because, well... Legal Rights Observatory (LRO) has alleged that Christian Priest Dr Paul Dhinakaran misused the foreign funds received under the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA). A blog which highly condemns Dr. Paul Dhinkaran and his activities like healing center and claims that he practically started the trend of mega-church globe-trotting televangelists in Tamil Nadu.
