C.O.R.R.U.P.T.I.O.N.

2 years back, i badly wanted to take part in the Lokmat Debate competiton but sadly wasnt selected. The topic was "corruption is unavoidable" i am posting my debate! Hope you guys find it useful! 😊 here we goooooooo!!! 
Have you noticed how a bunch of ants surround a cube of sugar? Similarly, where there is big money involved - corruption will most likely find its roots dug deep into the system. Its literally under every stone you turn. And, by now, most of us in india have learned to live with corruption as a part and parcel of our life. 
Good morning, respected chairperson, friends and my anti-corruption opponents. I, xyz stand before tou all to voice my opinion on the topic "corruption is unavoidable" and i stand by the motion. 
At one time, just a few decades back, to dabble in corrupt practises was something to be ashamed of. People would point the charging finger at the corrupt person and talk scandals in whispers about him. This goes to show that, corruption was a rare phenomenon. 
As time passed by, this scenario undertook an absolute somersault. The malady spread through the length and breadth of the country and the world. 
The situation as it stands today is that corruption is no slur on any individual; it has by now become a way of life. It has been so closely woven into our life patterns. 
The situation in which we are today is so pathetic that, it is a wonder who will punish whom for corruption? The fact is that corruption has seeped deep into every corner and there appears to be no light at the end of the tunnel. IT HAS BECOME UNAVOIDABLE. The reason being that it was not treated in its earlier stages therefore it grew to this magnum size. If it had been tackled at its very inception, more and more people would have not joined the bandwagon and the situation would have not been as it is now. No corrupt person was ever punished for his/her corrupt practises. This gave an impetus to others to become so. Moreover, there was no specific punishment, so the element of fear also flew to the winds and people sared it all. More and more people crossed the fence as there were greener pastures across. This led to the present day scenario when it is like trying to touch the moon to look for an honest man. 
To top it all, how can we forget the contribution of the false promisemakers- Humare Pyaare Netajiss. They are the bad apples at the top. Many new leaders when come into power declare their determination to eradicate corruption but soon they themselves become corrupt and start amassing huge wealth. 
So cut long story short, avoiding corruption has now become a herculean task. To conclude i would like to say that, corruption is like a ball of snow, once set rolling, it will increase at every step. 

I hope you guys found it useful. #happytohelp!

What is it to be like... YOU?!?!!

Finally my 12th boards have ended!! Yayyyy! To add to my 'happy list' my 18th birthday is around the corner. Double yayyy! Its going to be a happy month. My vacations are in full swing. Enjoying myself to the bone. Slumber parties with cousins,whatsapping,BBMing, facebooking,tweeting (hardcorely), shopping,talking hours and hours on the phone,music-n-movies and soooooo many other things!! There is another thing that i have realized all this time... Belive and Be yourself! Its better when you are yourself! You can not only radiate happiness but even UNIQUE-ness. People not only love you more but they also tend to stick around you! They start hanging out with you because they enjoy your company. They enjoy YOU! When you love yourself more, others see and get inspired! So you are doing this world a favor too!
If you are the jibbery-jabber girl then be that. Dont be someone just to please someone. If you are shy or coy. Let it be the way it is. Let people around you love who you ACTUALLY are. If you are a foodie, then eat what pleases you. (And if the people around give that "oh god! Is she mad or something?!" Look then eat them up to) 
Let go of the LKK( log kya kahenge) fear. And if you think or feel that you will be not COUNTED or accepted then you are sadly mistaken my friend. But i am not implying it in the wrong way. if you are the creepy one and not a single soul wants you around then please for the love of almighty change yourself.
Last thing on the 'Be Yourself' list is this amazinggg quote i came across- Be yourself cause everybody else is taken! Aint it cool?!
So try being yourself and i bet you will do wonders. 
P.S. Start by getting inspired by the marilyn munroe quote. It hepls! 😊
