Do you remember the last ten updates you liked on Facebook?

Do you remember the last ten updates you liked on Facebook?
Nobody does. There is an important lesson in this fact.

Our brains are getting too much of information in a short span of time. We keep moving from post to post, trying to cover as much information as we can. In short, it's an information overload that your mind is not equipped to handle.

The mind has been conditioned over thousands of years to live a simple uncluttered life. It is yet to evolve into a supercomputer that can process data as quickly as we see it on social media.

Avoid this overload. Unlike a few pages. Reduce the clutter that appears in your newsfeed. If needed, unlike this page.

But please venture out more in the real world.
We are writers with no other platform to show our stories. A reader, however, has options galore from which he can choose his preferred method to acquire knowledge.

You are under no compulsion to like every single page your friends request you to like.
Just stay healthy. After all, you cannot download fresh air. Go out more.

“If you always put limit on everything you do, physical or anything else. It will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them.” -Bruce Lee

How would it be if once or twice in a month, ministers are to be questioned by public under the basis of development in our society either by the medium of media or other means ?

How would it be if every penny spent for as said "progress" would be questionable by the people?

How would it be if there was no racism under caste basis...as we know in US there are two categories, one as US citizen and another Permanent Resident..why not Sikkim Citizen and Permanent Resident?

How would it be if the work progress could be investigated by public where as the right amount of labor and materials are used and no exceeded amount of these are added for warming up pockets of employees working under those field.. As in a road construction , why not each supervisor, AE, JE, from low level to high level from materials, labors used to percentage given to ministers and other officials are questionable?

How would it be if authorities under each department hire employees to check that no one enters the office premises drunk whether it be ministers, employee or public?

I wonder..

You have to hurt in order to know, fall in order to grow, lose in order to gain. Because most of life's lessons are learned in pain.

What our state needs to shed off is it's inefficiency nature, else in no time people shall realize that the Government is, or ought to be, instituted for the common benefit and security of the people; whenever any government shall be found INEFFICIENT or contrary to these purposes, a majority of the community will reform, alter, or abolish it, in such manner as shall be judged most conducive to the public welfare.

This is wrong, students gets beaten up by police which is against the law. And making them suffer, those innocents who are the future of our state. This is wrong where the fee was hiked in such a way that its really difficult for parents to maintain where some parents working on MR or adhoc basis haven't got their salary yet. This is wrong when there are no sufficient teachers in school. This is wrong where there is racial differences due to seat reservation where some student don't get admission in college due to low percentage. United states as we know have two categories where one is US citizen and another Permanent Resident. Whereas we have SC, ST,OBC, MBC out here. This is the phase of our development. Inside that uniform of a police too lies a citizen first. Please think whats happening and then act. Its "by the people" not "by the Government" .

Was it because Sikkim has always been a peaceful state? Was it because the S.P was inexperienced? Was it because the police has basically nothing to do here coz of the low crime rate that even when a small agitation came up..which ofcourse, was by "students" that they got ""so"" overexcited? Or was it a jesture to show that liberty is false? Whatever maybe the cause, it's time we get out of the confined box of meaningless swag we live in. It's high time we strive for intellecuality because the reason for the lathi charge was that their perspective about the students is pathetic. Maybe they think that all we know is to dress up,loaf around , look cool and party. It's time to prove them wrong. Mind power is what we need not man power.
Note: it's not the first case of lathi charge on students in Sikkim.

DM East appeals to the students-

The incident of the use of force on the students was unfortunate for which the government has already ordered a probe. Please respect the order of the government and wait for the result of the probe as even an accused of a murder also is not punished without an inquiry and a fair trial.
You must rethink before coming under influence of any instigation from anybody. The District Collector, East was manhandled and tried mob-lynched at the time when he was patiently listening to the demands of the students since morning without presence of any police force and trying to address the demands of the students by discussing the higher authorities.
The vehicle of the ADM, East was totally vandalized and the innocent driver of the vehicle was beaten badly without any instigation from the administration today at around 1:30 pm.
Despite of all this no force was used by the police and even at last only tear gas was used to disburse the crowd and still stones were pelted at police and few of the policemen got injured.
We understand that the student cannot resort to such activity and violence, and few anti-social elements are giving bad name to the students by influencing them wrongly.
Please don't listen to the rumors and instigation. Have faith in the system. Let your own people not get suffered due to such violent activities.
Your anger is understood and you have already expressed it. Now put it to the rest. As you have demanded for justice, please have patience and let the system take care of it.

Why? Why do you do that? Stare at my breasts like they are cute babies calling out to be cuddled. Strip me naked, slowly, every time I enter the bus? Try to glimpse into my cleavage when I am sitting and reading in the metro.

Who gives you the right? To grope me in the crowded bus? To fall on me "innocently" when I buy popcorn in the theater. When I sit cross legged in the auto and you stop your bike and look hungrily at my legs.

A piece of meat, am I?
How do you think I feel? When I have to continuously watch over my shoulder, because it is 10 pm and there is nobody at the bus stop, except you. Staring at my neck.

When I panic, because my phone is dead, and I am in a cab wearing a backless dress?
When my friends and parents worry that I have to travel alone at night?
When I am sleepless in the bus, thinking, that your hands will pin me down and yank my clothes away?

What makes you think I should not wear that pretty black skirt?
To be scared. Afraid. Tensed. Every time I am not at home.
What makes you think I like it when I find you smiling at my bra strap that shows?

Yes, I wear a bra. Yes, it shows. So?
Ohh, don't say that its my clothes! I have found you eyeing the waist of that woman who was wearing the plain faded saree. Your eyes get all excited when the young college going girl enters the bus in just a kurta, no dupatta covering her bosom.

And yes, one slip of the pallu or dupatta and you go wild.
Staring. Smiling. And staring.
So, if I have a beer in my hand when I am on a beach, you think you can click my picture?
When I wear hot pants and laugh with a guy you think you can pinch my ass?

Does the lit cigarette in my hand seem like an invitation to you? To come violate my body with your eyes?

Yes, I am a girl and I drink alcohol, so I am an 'easy target'. Is that it?
Yes, I drink. I smoke. Does that mean I want to have s*x with you and every man on the street?

You. Who teach your daughter to be safe from evil eyes, don't flinch before mentally having s*x with me when you see me on the street?

You, who get angry when a boy smiles at your sister, don't feel ashamed standing at the street corner whistling at me every night.
No practice what you preach, for you, right.

Do you still think I am the one who needs to change?
