Why..why...why? are people in this hypocrites. They tell you something and propagate something else. Why do such people exist in this world? I really don't understand what people get out of doing this. Absolutely nothing I guess. They just want to be among the happening people because nothing else can be reason for this, yes nothing else!

I have in my life come across such people who do it purposely. And this is because they believe in modernism. Oh please! come on face the truth. If you don't belong to the modern world because of your old or rather very ancient thoughts compared to the people around you, then try and tell them - yes, although you think that my thoughts are very old and rustic, in reality they are very true and deserve to be followed.

I follow it as I think its right. At least I am open in telling you this. Yes I follow these trends and I am not like you who wants to change your views every now and then just so that you can be counted as one of the happening people in town or among your peer group. You want people to say that you are a very broad minded person.

But what's the use of being such modern when you don't understand what you want in life. What are you heading for? What the future holds for you - you are not at all certain of many things in your life. You would never be able to decide what you want out of your life because you are still waiting for someone to start a trend and you will be the one to follow it just so that you can be labeled as a modern and hip person!

Come on!! be alone in whatever you do. No doubt you will be alone for sometime but when people realize how true you are in your propagation or rather to put it correctly your thoughts - definitely they will be there with you and you will be followed by a huge crowd of people, and when you look behind, I assure you that you won't be dismayed. Instead you will smile with pride and that glean can be seen in your eyes and that day you will realize that you weren't wrong nor did you do anything wrong in just not following what you call modernism!

Many might not agree with what I say but this is what I feel and I would like to share this with those people who are scared of speaking the truth !
