Hypocrisy at its Peak…!!
Enough is said and Enough is done in the last couple of weeks, on some horrendous activities that we all witnessed. Neither I will join hypocrite bandwagon shouting, “I am just a call away”, “I will always be there for you” nor any hashtags: #Blacklivesmatter #Animallivesmatter because what matters is, to change oneself and not just post on social media without acting on the same.
“Hypocrisy is just a lubricant to society”
The Elephant murder in Kerela :
The killing of an innocent, depressant, and the harmless pregnant animal was indeed a pain but a sudden outrage in social media with mourning posts from big celebrities and netizens, like us coming out with a hashtag #Animallivesmatter. It’s good to know that we feel this way and yes, they do matter but how come we forget this hashtag when we kill other animals for hunting, poaching, decorations, leather accessories, delicious food (a chicken is equally innocent as that elephant), pleasure in hitting stray dogs, leave them starving and many more.
I feel that #Animallivesmatter should be implemented in everyone’s lives rather than just showing sorrow on social media.

Black Lives Matter:
“An old story with no conclusion”.
Another rage happened on social media after the infamous incident in the USA. Social media got flooded with sorrow post #Blacklivesmatter but do they? The largest supply of fairness creams, Dadi Nani ka nuskha, variety of face pack, capsules, treatment is in our country because if a person isn’t fair-skinned, they can’t be successful. Bullshit…!! yes, still people are judged based on their appearance. With relatives showing most concern in this hell world: “Iska rang daba hua hai, Kon shadi karega”, “Height bhut kam hai ladki ki”, “weight kam karo”. These netizen post matrimonial ads for their boys highlighting: “Wanted a fair, tall girl”.
During my teenage, many times I was thrown out or was overshadowed by a less talented beautiful fair girl because of my appearance. Does anyone realize how much trauma it causes in one’s life? Social media has become a platform to show to the world how much we care, how much we are clean spirit, how much we care for society and can become future “Gurus” or “baba”. If black lives really matter, then stop commenting and tormenting people based on their color and how do they look.

People in India are raising voice based on color, what about caste?
No-one has written any such hashtag: #dalitlivesmatter #acidattacksurvivolivesmatter #rapesurvivallivesmatter #religionfreelivesmatter .. many more.
Stop following west first clean your own country mess..!!
I still remember some lines by my mother who always inspire and admire me: “It’s not us who decide how we are born and with what color so never feel sad or get affected with what people say, all you can do is to take care of yourself”
The suicide of a Famous Bollywood Actor :
I still can’t believe this has happened, my heart aches and I am deprived of words to post anything about Sushant Singh Rajput on social media or write RIP. As per the facts, he was depressed and had been bullied by the so-called Movie Mafia. Netizen status is all filled with post fancy and caring sentences: “Talk to me if you need”, “I am just a call away” and Blah Blah blah. But I still wonder, why would a person care to call you just because you wrote this or share this WhatsApp forward to everyone asking if they are going through a dark phase?. Or did you call anyone? If anyone really means this then they don’t have to tell others that you are available for them rather be empathetic to people you know and share smiles and love as much as possible and not hatred. There is no point in being nice and friendly to anyone if you bitch about them behind their back.
Yes!! Bullies do exist in every sector. Portraying someone loser, worthless, snatching opportunities is a crime in my opinion. All this breaks a person's morals. Self-confidence and destroys ambitions. It takes years and failures to build confidence. There are many cases where a woman is the enemy of another woman. Many successful girls cried in the restroom, coming out with fake smiles and broken confidence to survive in a toxic environment.
I was an average in my school, therefore I got average friends. I hated mathematics and didn’t like doing calculations. After all my efforts I scored 0 in math test and for this, my teacher joined with 55 classmates humiliated me by clapping and mocking.!! These classmates thought I am mentally retarded, weak, and have no values. This shattered my confidence to face them, to go to school, and to take part in any activity. Maybe it was fun for them but for me, it was a lifelong scar. I am still pathetic at math but now I don’t care anymore because I have calculators
Hahahaha…!!.
I am sure everyone faced bully in life, leading to anxiety depression. If a person is broken from inside, they don’t call people informing how they feel in a certain way instead it is “us” who need to identify, heal, and take care of timely. If you really care about someone then invest time and emotions on that relationship rather than repenting later. Stop bullying and raise your voice if you see someone else doing to others. That’s the one reason ragging is banned in colleges, but who knows that it still exist in day to day life. Success has become an unethical race where if you can beat anyone by skill then crushes another person.
Let’s not be hypocrites by posting things on social media just because they are trending, instead incorporate and learn from all these incidents and try to make a change within. Instead of posting on social media and imaging everyone will call you as an emergency helpline, be a good friend to some who really believes in you. Call them!!
We can’t change the world be we can at least change ourselves…!
