No, I am not going to start a preachy lecture about how the youth of the country should lead their lives! Ours is a free country and everyone is free to lead their lives the way they want without hurting anyone. As simple as that!

But what we need to ask ourselves is, are we living the way we are supposed to? Every day we claim our rights on freedom of speech, freedom to live, freedom for this, freedom for that etc. How many of us actually value that freedom though? If you look around, more and more youngsters, the so-called future of our country, are found to be enjoying dope, sex and booze, more than sharing their responsibilities towards their own lives! Let’s not talk about responsibility towards family, friends, society or nation! It is all about their life, their decisions, and their way of conducting themselves with no concern about how their actions are impacting others!

Some people might argue that the nation is in the dumps, there are no jobs, and youth is sitting idle even after education so their actions are justified. I am sorry, but I tend to disagree with such lame excuses. Those who deserve are getting jobs. Those who have worked on their skill sets are landing up working for the best organisations. Those who are bringing discipline in their life are achieving their dreams, no matter how fast or slow the process is!

It is a sad state to watch youngsters idling their time away criticising the society and the system instead of doing something substantial about it. Change doesn’t happen overnight and only by posting your views on social media, don’t expect change to happen.

It starts with oneself!

Bring a change in your thought process, be responsible for your actions and try to do something that is within your reach to make a change. No one is expecting a single man or a woman to act like a superhero and rid our country of all the ailments. Instead, take small steps, the steps that bring change, albeit in a slow manner, but those that are long-lasting changes.

It is the state of the society that party songs celebrating alcohol consumption, drugs and sex are ruling the charts! No, the movies are not feeding the society, it’s vice versa! The demand is generating supply and we are happily grabbing what’s being offered to us. It is cool these days to have competitions about how much can one drink in one night or how many sex-sessions can one have at one go. Does that help improve life? Does that bring a positive change in your life? Sadly, the answer is a big NO!

Let’s try and enjoy life, but only after we have discharged our duties towards life with utmost sincerity.

It is only one life guys; don’t waste it on temporary sources of entertainment.

Enjoy them, but enjoy your life too and life is not just dope, sex and booze!

It is much more than that; just scratch the surface and find out how it can be more fun without falling into the trappings of short-lived fun!

Eat what you like, seems like a saying long forgotten!

Today, just like many other things, foods that people eat to impress others, especially in social gatherings! Style, class, mannerism and pseudo etiquette are the major reasons behind making fake food choices.

I have noticed people eating and then making a face uglier than a blobfish!

But they eat it, just to appear cool!

You might be one of those who eat one of these 10 foods just to fit-in!

1. Liquor – Vodka, tequila shots, martini, red wine, white wine, and sangria! Well, some might love them, but there are sure shot numbers who have these hip sounding liquors just to be a part of the bunch, no matter how they hate the taste! And how they go on a puking spree after the ball is over!

2. Pasta – Not all love pasta. Sometimes it’s the most bland and boring food, which causes constipation! Yet, it makes you look so cool in friends get-together, right?

3. Black Coffee –..yuck, it’s bitter to hell! But who cares, it makes me look happening, and of the newer intellectual generation! So I am having it!

4. Frappecchino – What exactly is that! The cappuccino that got frapped or the frappe that is having a date with cappuccino? Never mind, the name sounds cool, so I am gonna have it!

5. Sushi – So there are many elite joints that serve BEST SUSHI? What is that by the way, do you even know? Do you like the taste? But you eat Sushi just because your mates have ordered it and it’s in fashion!

6. Green Tea At Work Place – “Ramsevak, mere liye meri wali green tea hi lana, haan!” Yeah, it’s so stylish to ask the office boy for a cup of green tea, while all others are having usual boring chai!

7. Steamed Chicken – The chicken that we love is the “sadda wala butter chicken ya masaaledaar kadhai chicken”! But steamed chicken is healthy and people order it at restaurants to tell “Oh see, I am so health cautious”!

8. Strange Looking Salads – Eat salads and only salads (read leaves) from an otherwise scrumpious buffet menu to say “I need to take care of my figure you see”, and the moment you are alone, gorge into everything eatable that comes in sight! Girls…. Oh Girls!!

9. Expensive Beverages At A Five Star – A small glass of few sips of some drink for 2500/- bucks?? What the hell is in that glass, elixir of life? But some people order it! It makes them look posh! And it makes them bankrupt too!

10. Tofu – “Bhaiya, do you have tofu?” The taste is so yuck, I can have it removed from the planet forever! But I have seen people enquiring about tofu while ordering food at restaurants. Just because it is the paneer of elite class, huh!!

So which one do you have to look cool?

There may be more names that you can add to this list!

All I would say is, eat what you love and eat to your heart’s content! After all, food is what keeps us happy!
