Culture





I write generally when I am frustrated and nobody is near to yell on. So what to write , I don’t know?? Again bashing Mumbai on its infrastructural crumbliness or hostile nature of people I deal with. Infact I got another choice which is to live my dream in unsung heroes and boost my confidence through fantasizing something which will be not possible by any chance in my life.
No I am quite bored of all those thing!!!!
So this time lets took the pant off of my own culture. Yeaahh its right , the big C of any society or so called pillar is so abnormal to understand that I can’t relate myself to this enigmatic thing.
Infact its impossible for many of us to answer simple question that what is our culture. Our parent lived in different place , so have their parents and we are following the same footprint. Now whom should we follow, our parents, grandparents or culture of so called of our current society.
Looking around of day to day life will provide more than plenty of example of our confusion about this thing. We are exactly behaving like a child who is very happy with PSP but also making the museum of his favourite old toys.
We on the same time want to wear jeans but on any Indian festival come in ethnic dress to show our connection with culture. Isn’t it hypocrisy? We want being both, stylish and connected to root. But why??What we want to prove? And the biggest question is to whom we want to prove.
We want our children’s life to be most modern in term of education ,lifestyle , society , everything or frankly speaking totally copy of USA . But ( society rules create lots of but, so don’t be annoyed) marriage should be in indian style. One should work like horse to generate money like ATM but should be loyal to everyone like DOG( life partner ,parents and even according to some shitty management intellectual one should be loyal to their company and BOSS). What a joke??
Why so much of expectation ? Why can’t I live my life in my own way? The worst thing is that you have to live on the expectation of people , you love most. You have to kill your inner feeling to satisfy them. I mean why love ( of any kind  )have such expectation. It should be free from any scarify . May be god has created love to interconnect people and form a rule for proper functioning of society.(that much I can guess). But it become emotional remote control by which , you can get desired result from your loved one.
Any culture want us to behave in idealistic ways , which ways are infact created by our ancestor considering their era. We also modify our culture in same way. But problem comes when we nominate activities uncultured with which we are not comfortable.
Culture should be their but it should be very free & adaptive . It should be customisable according to situations , locations and generation. All together moral of culture should be same irrespective of visual representation of it.
