Whack - not white, not black and definitely not grey

This post stems from a lot of questions that i find asking myself... these questions, among many other things have made me realise that right and wrong are most usually a matter of perspective....not just ours, but a whole lot of others'...and sometimes it just cant be as simple as me deciding whats right and whats wrong....about my decisions as well as others'... too often i catch myself getting judgemental... which , in retrospect, doesnt seem fair..this is perhaps a way of reminding myself... so, here are some whacks!!
- the guy crossing the road in a hurry to get to office/home and the guy speeding down the road in a hurry to get to office/home (this is india, so zebra crossings..well, u decide)
- the organisation cutting the internet to unclog bandwidth and the individual who checks his personal mail in office
- the young parents who are conscious of their careers and the child who doesnt get enough attention because the parents focus on their careers
- the bribes we pay so that our work gets done faster and the voices against corruption
- the parents who want to have a say in who their child marries and the child who wants a say about his / her life
- downloading music from 'pirate' sites and voices against music piracy
- shouting at a waiter coz he spilt something on you and the waiter who's only human and can make mistakes
- children who cant make enough time for their parents and parents who crave attention from their kids in their last days
- hanging the guy who rapes and kills women and the guy, who genuinely repents
- you, who come here to read a good post, and me, who cant think of anything good to write...;)
we all have our takes in all this, but are we right or are we wrong??

aur ek rashtr bhasha main,
Ek kavi shaadi ke baad biwi se bola: Aaj se tum hi meri kavita ho, prerna ho, bhawana ho, Kalpna ho!
Patni: Mere liye bhi aaj se aap hi dinesh ho, rohit ho, rakesh ho!
