Why?.....

Well this might look like a bit of a startling header to start any post with but that’s precisely what my mind feels like right now. Well and it’s not just one thing, not just one why. It has to be that every second thing happens in my world, or the world around me has to leave a big why behind.Sometimes I wonder why it is that I was born. I mean any reason for me being on this earth? Or was I sent down just to gobble up the already depleting resources in the world ….Why is it that we are born with our fists closed and die with our palms open, hands outstretched? Do we have prior knowledge that when we come into the world we have everything to achieve? In that case does a previous birth exist? And if so why is it that we aren’t given any knowledge of our prior births? Why is the world round? Why is it that the chicken crossed the road? Is it because she had nowhere else to go….or was it that she thought that the grass was greener on the other side of the road….in which case she would get better worms there. Why is it that almost all of us today are like that very chicken…..wanting, always, to cross over on the other side, hoping that there is something better on the other side ,and then wanting to come after reaching there, being there, done that? Why is it that every girl that I like already has a boyfriend? Why should you be reading this? Why did someone have to fell the Babari Masjid? Why did so many people have to die for the sadist pleasure and the profits of a few? Why was Black Friday banned? Why was Black not sent to the Oscars? Why was Paheli sent? Was it because they wanted to still portrait India as a land of snakes and yogis? In which case, where did that notion about India come from? Why should a handful of jokers sitting in the parliament decide the fate of a 100 million people? Why should 100 million fools be given the power to select their fate every five years? Why should we obey laws and law makers? Why is it that we feel that some things are out of our reach? Why do we limit our thinking to what we can achieve rather than what we would like to achieve? Why should you be paying any attention to what I have written? Why is it that I am writing this in the first place? Why am I searching for some answers? Why should a boy always make the first move? Why should girls have it so easy? Why should perverts ogling at girls not be punished? Why should girls be able to use their charms to get anything they want ? Why do rich guys fall for poor girls in Bollywood movies? Why should I leave a Rs. 10000 job and instead opt for a Rs.5000 job? Why is it that I liked my earlier job much more than I like my present job? Why should a guy sitting in the bosses cabin get so much for doing so little?Why does Neha have a boyfriend? Why do we have to pay taxes? Why do we have to suffer potholed roads,overflowing drains, dirty streets even after paying them? Why do all the good bands currently in India have to be from Pakistan? Why should we fight for ever and ever over a piece of land ? Why are we hell bent on turning the heaven on earth into hell? Why should I get a lesser deal than others in the looks department? Was it because it was more than covered up in the brains department? Why should we believe in one God? Why should I be writing this ? Why do mothers have to stay at home while fathers go to work? Why should only mothers bear the pain of producing a child? Why does someone love someone? Why does love not always reciprocate itself? Why should there be arranged marriges? Why should there be marriges in the first place? Why should we wear clothes? Why should we not have sex before marriage? Why should we have sex ? Why would I find answers to all these questions….and many more? Why would you be still reading this? Why would you bother to give me some answers? WHY????
