Suicide cases are rising at an alarming rate.  Young kids, with their lives ahead of them are driven to depression in numbers greater than ever before. All this when on the face it of it all, everything is hunky dory. There are smiling images peering out of the screen on Instagram and Snapchat, but behind this veneer there is melancholy and infinite sadness. A literal void that is leaving the youth of today utterly hopeless. There is plenty in the store front but the godowns are empty. Why this Void? We have forgotten our original identities. We identify with the bodies and make all attempts to nourish the vessel without caring for the occupants. We are fed a constant diet of naked materialism but the soul starves since it has no connect with god. The six enemies of the mind lust, anger, greed, bewilderment, intoxication, and envy are always ready and deployed by depression, anxiety, gloom, and frustration to affect the mind.

One of India's most notable and successful Angel investors Mr Sanjeev Bhikhchandani has come out vociferously against the trend of Indian startups flipping to foreign jurisdictions , particularly the US state of Delaware.  I have linked the article above and have also summarized his main assertions against the concept of flipping below : It robs India of intellectual property and data India loses tax revenues India loses Market capitalization Indian investors get shut out I am attempting to respectfully counter Sanjeev's comments with utmost regard for his work.

Maybe we do need to realize that life is not a bed of roses.  That there isn't redemption every time around.  That people are fundamentally broken and do not operate on logic.  That different people work on different operating systems of life and may not be necessarily compatible.  That everything is temporary and the bad times as well as the good times will not stay forever. Maybe we need to  realize who we are, inside and out.  We need to stop running around just sit and watch the show.  For sometimes, you don't really have any agency on matters at.  You are just strapped into the ride.

White skin, Caucasian features , blue eyes, have all been forced down our throat while at the same time telling us that the color of our skin, our Indian features were somehow inferior.  True Independence is independence of the mind, its been 70 years now. Lets get rid of these false ideals. Wear your brown skin, all shades of it, with pride.
