Oh my friend …Let me help you…he heard this voice coming from behind, he turned and saw a wise looking genteel man. Sir, how may help you, he replied oh no my dear I am here to help you. Me he said with amusement and relaxation coming at the same time. Then the man said, my child I see you working so hard for your master and I am here to help you. He looked so confused at the same time felt so blessed, and then he said, but my master told me to do all this on my Owen. The man said oh don’t you worry my child I work for the same master, and that makes us brothers. I know the master for a long time and as he told me I will help you and get your work done. His eyes were glowing and they exchanged the slight as lovers. He said so why don’t you become my guide and mentor, why don’t you take the lead and I will continue working. The man said oh no you have been here and I should first learn from you, how to work here. Time passed and the man became his pal. Then one day master called him and said do you know people don’t like you? Do you know they don’t want you? He got shattered and asked the master I was just getting the work done and now you are saying me all this? Then the master said oh my child this happens this is the world, this is how things are done. Why don’t you take help from the Man I sent for your help, he is your friend. He was so delighted to here this and he jumped from joy and said I will give him all I have and so the work will get done. He went to the Man, and then the man said oh my friend don’t you worry I am always there for you and believe me I will protect you from all. He was so delighted and thus he gain started working and this time even harder than ever. The Man said I will tell you how to do things and what to do as I am your friend. He started handing over things to him so the Man had final results in his hand and the Man passed them to the master. The master stopped talking to him since he was getting everything from the Man. He was no where in the picture, he thought his friend is helping him and the master knew about his hard work. One day he decided to speak to the master, he went to the master and said Master oh my Master! My lord is so grateful that I have a master like you. The master said tell me what happened now? What have you done now? Master’s voice was grim and it shocked him completely. He again said oh master why are you angry at me? Master said oh! You stop bothering me with your questions; I am just feed up from you everybody complains about you I had to put my Man to get things done. You have become a plague for the people out there. He was astonished he felt on his knees and said Master oh my Master I know people complained against me but you know they were wrong their prejudice and snobbishness created your problem. I helped them even did their work and you man ask him he is my friend and he knows all about it. Then the master said yes I know he is your friend and he has been protecting you but see all the results came from him he is the one who did all the work you were just there doing nothing. He tried getting up from his knees and said my lord my master ask you man who worked and got all these for him? I did it master. I did it. Then came the Man and again they exchanged the slight as lovers. He thought his saviour is here he stood up straight and said to the master. My Master my lord now you have you man the one you trust more than me ask him my lord please ask him. His voice was stronger than earlier and he was standing straight, it looked like a wounded worrier mounting for his pride and fighting till his last drop of blood to defend his nation. The Master then turned to his man and said him to answer his question and tell him what has happened on the ground. Master’s voice was so thunderous that it gave shivers in the spin, but he stood straight facing them. Then the Man said Master you are right he was just there and I had to do all on my Owen. Everybody was so irritated with him and I was just managing all of this. I know how I have lived this. It was just for old time sake that we spared him, but know the time has come where we should take tough decisions. He is of no use and he deserves nothing, my master I am not telling you to be cruel but I just request you to be a King. The Master turned to him and he was still standing firm and then he said now you tell me do you plead guilty. He looked into his Master’s eyes just as an archer looks at his target, confident and with spark of joy which says that I will get this target. The Master repeated his question and his voice became bleak. He smiled and again they (he and the man) exchanged the site, this time it lasted a while. Both had a spark in their eyes the man had a fire which was burning high with the fuel of achievement and sense of appreciation. The man had the same glow in his eyes what a knight would have had when knighthood was awarded to him. On the other hand he had an unprecedented glow in his eyes which was so bright that it was even in lighting his face and his forehead was glowing like a star. Everybody was astonished with this reaction; a man who was just shattered by the words of his master is standing tough like a rock. The silence was broken by a hefty voice of the Master why don’t you answer my question. He smiled and said Master I do plead guilty and request you to punish me please don’t show your mercy on me I broke your confidence, I don’t deserve your mercy. I was set up for a failure and I failed you don’t need people like me, I am nobody to suggest anything but my lord what you need is men like those, your men! The master said what do you mean by set up for failure and who is this allegation for? He smiled again and said when there were people against me he was the one who fuelled them or may be pacified them but I was not made aware. You told me to handover things to him but he was given the credit since you never came to know that I am there doing everything. This is a huge learning but Master I am the one who dosn't want all this I know how to work and I just work to achieve things rather that doing nothing and taking credit. The mater said I know you deserve a punishment but I grant you mercy. He said no master no I can’t take your mercy I want death, at least give me the credit of my failure if not achievements. He pleaded like a victim pleading for mercy, but everybody was astonished and found it tough to believe that a man is pleading for punishment. He went to his Master and said oh my master do take all my position do take my Victoria cross but please give me my punishment I have given my sweet and blood for the same. I don’t even want a tomb stone on my grave but master give me my punishment. The generations to come will swear by your name. The master was shocked but he ordered, cut his head…….

Since they are Honourable Men!!!!!
There was a guy who worked worked and worked, dreaming to get on the heights he wanted to achieve. He was a silent worker burning his midnight oil to achieve the LARGER GOALS as suggested in his company. He was always praised for his work and never rewarded, but he took those words seriously and thought one day he will be rewarded. He achieved some goals for the company and thought he will be getting the reward this time. He was so happy for the same. He was praised by all and was preached as well.
Preaching 1: Everybody should be involved in the decision making process.
Preaching 2: You should always take your seniors advice.
Preaching 3: Never question your superiors.
Preaching 4: Whatever you achieve is a Team achievement and should be shared.
Preaching 5: Its your ship and you are the chief so make sure it dose good. Its not the cure its the caption that matters.
Now the results and consequences what a hard worker achieved out of these preaching and the underline meaning of these.
Result of preaching 1: Every decision was a vague approach and had no base, all the logic and data given by this guy were buried in these meetings and his so called seniors buried his approach as well. The best part was that if there were any thing positive what he said was either made negative or if they were unable to do the same they just changed the name. They called it theirs!Most of the time decision making exercise was a battle ground and if he wanted to be firm the Preaching 2 came in his way.
Result of preaching 2: He went to everybody with his brilliant ideas. They were thrashed in the light of preconceived notion and assumptions. The unwillingness to accept anything from a new person made his ideas a subject of joke. Though people outside did appreciate his work, Intelligence and devotion for work. He kept on improving his ideas in the hope that one day they will like it and they even liked it sometimes just that they changed the name plate on the same. He never questioned them since the Preaching 3 came in his way.
Result of preaching 3: He was told to shed his armour which he earned by giving his blood since there are others who need it. He was told to work hard as a worker in diamond mine and hand over the diamond to others since they deserve to be draped by it. He was told to do all the work for others and handover to them as they need to have the pie as well. He wanted to know why this is happening but the Preaching 4 came in his way.
Result of preaching 4: He worked and achieved his goals and contributed into the LARGER GOALS as well. He assumed that he will be recognized for the same, if nothing else he will get a pat on his back. His expectations were trashed and he saw all his work getting credited to others. He was left alone he was a lonely man in the crowed with nobody on his side. He didnt stop and thought someday somebody will say him thanks, but it never happened. He never wanted to be praised but at least mentioned for his contribution. The cake was cut there were claps but not for him nether he had a share. He wanted to ask why? But the preaching said it belongs to all. He agreed to the same but was confused that the concept of all doesnt have his name. He wanted to question why but Preaching 5 came in his way as the caption is there to give applauds and support not to quest for them.
Result of preaching 5: If there was a mistake done by anybody he was the one fixing it. If there were any rewards he was not mentioned. He thought thats the trade I am the caption I should get things going no matter what. Then there was a storm and he worked hard to get the ship out of it. He made it sail and then sailed the same out of bad whether and unfavourable conditions.
Then the time came when he was asked to leave the ship as the ship was assigned a new caption. He wanted to question that when he needed somebody nobody helped him. He was sailing alone in the storm and now when its sunny and calm and he can make this sail in a good direction he is asked to quit. He was told that the ship was shaking in the storm and now we will have somebody who can control that.When he was asked to leave he requested that can he for once address all of them, he was even refused for the same.
He was deserted on a lonely island and then he realised what the preaching really meant and what have it done to him?
Then he realized what has really happened. Preaching 1 was just a straight forward direction which said do as you are told to. You are nobody to make decision you are there to follow them. Since the people around you are your seniors they have a lobby and above all, they are Honourable Men. They are the one who are always right. Preaching 2 was a reiteration of the old prophecy that idea are not generated they are owned by these Honourable men. So if you have any either dont speak or if you do so you should be ready to face the consequences. Preaching 3 just meant a very simple thing; you should bow in front of them and be in the helm of these Honourable men. Preaching 4 was the simplest one as it said very clearly what ever is achieved is an all because of your hard work, but we are not thankful to you. All the credit and applauds go to these Honourable men. Since they are the one used to it and they are the one who will get it no matter what you do. Preaching 5 was the best of the jokes anybody cracked at you, you are the caption so you need to sail the ship. You are even required to row the same; in adverse situation even if the ship shakes its your fault. No matter how hard you have tried to control it as well as how bad are the storms. Since these men are here to eat the cakes not to sweat in baking them.Since they are honourable men so they will be rewarded they will be praised, what if they dont appreciate you, what if they dont put an effort to get things done. There will be applauds for them and all the crowed will bow inform for them. Since they are honourable men so you will be in their helm no matte how much you know or you devote. They are the future of country they are there to rule not to be advised. They are here to lead the stride not to walk with them and share the pain.
Since They are Honourable men and thus they are Lambs for Lions.

Buying Your Guilt
Buying you’re guilt:
There are times in life when you know that you are guilty of a crime. Nobody will know of that or it may happen even everybody knows about that you won’t get punished. This is the time when you try to buy you’re guilt and you comfortably name the same as help, favour or whatever suits you’re vocabulary. This is the time when you truly have and fight within yourself. The fight between the innocent kid and the tampered self image, the reason I used the word tampered since the image we are referring to is created by you’re surrounding and may have a little of you left in the same. Well the kid is ready to accept the fault is ready to say sorry and live with the fact that he is guilty. The image is not ready to accept the fact he says that it’s not big enough a crime to be punished or to apologetic. Even though the fact is only the sufferer and at many occasions not even the sufferer can asses that how big are the crime or the actual intensity and impact of the action (crime).
Now starts the negotiation and this is a raw deal at the beginning. Should I accept the crime or I shouldn’t, since we know accepting the crime will mean punishment embarrassment and so on, not accepting will mean that you are not a good guy and you will have to be associated with this guilt. In our day to day life this is to raw to accept we are used to the diluted or sugar coated version on both the fronts. Now starts the politically correct phase of negotiation and this starts with “who doesn’t make a mistake?” “I am god, I am just a plain simple human” and then the sentimental aspect coated with our ego self acclaimed pride and the very own tapered self image “I can’t just go ahead and die in guilt neither I can ruin my image by accepting my crime. This is too harsh a punishment”. After all these metaphorical excuses, we do one good thing somewhere down the line we explore our self and become a bit closer to our inner self the true +ive and –ive within us. I will tell you the benefits latter. So now starts the buying tricks, you start thinking what you have in you’re kitty which you can give to buy the same. This is when we go ahead and start giving things which are actually there to help us morally and we project it that it is meant for the sufferer. This is the time we realize that all of are good and have the ability to be good in what ever way we can. This is the time when we actually even go an extra mile to help those who are hurt by our actions. We actually keep on trying till the time we get a comfort that we have done some good to compensate our sins. This action may even stop when we actually start hurting us in some way by actually helping those hurt by us. This is the time you realize the actual intensity of pain since you are the person delivering as well as receiving the same. This is how we land up being relaxed and somehow think we have done all what it requires to be done to compensate our crime. This may not be always appropriate, but it will be cynical to label it absolutely useless. This may benefit the person harmed and hurt with you’re actions. At the same time we may land up just convincing our self that we have done the best and make our self comfortable. Irrespective of the fact that how this has benefited the other party. This is what I term buying you’re guilt at your own convenient and price.
Now let’s look at the positive aspect of this self acclaimed calmness therapy of buying you’re guilt:
As I mentioned above that there is a deep self realising phase when you accept the fact that there has been a mistake from you’re end. Let’s stop here and look into our self and analyze why this happened what compelled us to do the same. You will find that many a time it’s nothing very big or critical, most of the time it starts with very small issues and piles up to be a bunch of small issues and a crime at the end. Many things are just a reaction of our denial mode. The very acceptance of the fact or just an imposed identity associated with us in our tampered self image. The second benefit is when you actually analyze you’re +ive and –ive you get a chance not only to identify the same as well as an opportunity to work on the same. If you can use this as an opportunity it may happen that the situations and action which compel you to get into things like this will reduce and they may reduce substantially.
Now let’s look at the negative aspect of this:
To start the series I will first like to ask a question that how do we feel when we are at the receiving end.
The prime negative aspect is that this is pretty addictive and if you will look around most of us are addicted to this. What happens out of this is we get so used to it that we miss the entire self realization step and just get into the negotiation and finalize a rate and the worst happens when we get so acquainted to this system that we directly go ahead and make a conclusive statement. Something like” What can I do it happened since it had to” or “It cannot be my mistake always, they deserved it” and the best “I am not an evil, neither a god, it just happened and that’s it I can’t help it I need to move on, forget it “.
There can be many scenario and many –ive out of it but there is one aspect which is on the very boundary of +ive and –ive of this act. This is when we are evaluating our self we may get carried off by the fact that there has been mistake from our end. We land up getting so compelled by the grief and softer aspect associated with the same that we in spite of buying our guilt start punishing our self. This may get harsh and even harm you’re actual existence. So there should be an evaluation which is best to our strength there is no point being cynical and start felling that you are an evil of any sort. You should realize that punishing you’re self is not a solution in any way the solution is helping those who have been harmed and the fact that you should be strong enough to admit the same and pledge that you will not repeat the same.
This may sound a bit rude but in today’s world there are too many scenarios where we go ahead with this approach and we should try to create a balance in this act. If there is an appropriate balance then this will be a good act to follow. As a matter of fact there is a saying “Pashyatap maat karoo Prashchit karo”…which means… “Don’t repent rather take an action to rectify the same”.
My god blesses us…..
