Tyranny over Non Europeans.

European polity sucks. Big time. Its highly audacious to start off with something so assertive but I just can't help, not more than shrugging off my shoulders at this time. I totally second the government's unparalleled dedication to build UK as a better frontier but I highly doubt the authenticity of their applications being used to do so. The pacts made along with supporting alliances which contribute to the stand of the government and their relentless efforts in safeguarding the power seems so tiresome to any third and neutral eye, which is watching all this phenomenon from a distance.

Basically, all the discrimination that could be brought in, into the country is primarily based on the continent-ship which means a citizen being a European or a non-European one. There, it all starts. The entitlement to all the local government aided benefits would be declined to the non ones. I myself have witnessed the bias many a times in the local stores where non Europeans being rejected to claim any contracts. No wonder one can never find this sort of big time hypocrites any where else on this planet. You visit a store, occupy a table behind which there would be a dressed up official, touching the pad of a computer, grinning a welcome smile, broadly. You enter your details, you find the person contemplating, looking at the monitor, 10 minutes pass by, and an expression of 'Sorry! you are not eligible to claim this contract' appears on the fella's face, which wears a mask of disbelief. There you go! A poignant example of bias. I totally agree this is not universally truthful but I have handful of similar cases in my notice and my 15 months of residence in Europe.

And yeah, the Elections. The Great Grand Royal Elections. The coming general elections are like a contest of status quo for both the ruling and opposition parties. Nobody is willing to forego their victory at any best deal. Just similar to anywhere in the world. Granting dreamy boons to the citizens to protect the vote banks. UK is such a place where people are presumed to be highly cooperative with running government, but Revolution is what that stands as synonym for Youth. The unshaven and unemployed youth of Europe. Its quite crucial for any political side to win their recognition and hearts. Well, this is a fair pact I tell you. You provide employment, We cast out votes to you.

But the policies being implemented to cash the votes of youth citizens are quite disgusting, especially, they are serving as banes to the non European immigrants who migrated into the country to study, work, live and make lives in this country. Students. Yes, as I hail from that section, I am deeply concerned about the injustice that is being done to non European students. Government cuts funds to universities and universities, to compensate the lost funds impose greater fees on non European students. Forget about poking the local ones. Who forgets the student riots against the educational system and its irrational moves regarding student funds and grants, last year? Th only remaining sheep are the migrated students. And they are being ridiculed. And coming to the permit to work in the country, to ensure more employment opportunities to Europeans, the work permit for the non Europeans is going to be unavailable from the coming March. So that, only Europeans would be eligible to apply for any vacancies, thereby assuring the employment to the local youth.

When I write this, the rage inside me gradually comes down, and the angst is being replaced by deep sighs expelled out of helplessness. What can the government even do? To win, is to run. And its just pooling in all its efforts to win the race. I basically do not have the credibility to point out the disgraceful behavior of the UK government when nothing runs smooth with the back home's government and the policies, back there are much more pathetic and the chaos of agony are vibrant enough to cross the seas and reach my ears when I presume everything's to be alright back there and I try to sleep.


Hoping for change. Off for now.

The much needed talk.

Being fed up with the presumed out-of-the-box ideologies of few people, been searching out for a proper vent out session with some one who happens to be a great friend and equally a great listener as well. Sirsh buzzed up at the peak time, demanding a conversation which both of us hoped to join that league of our conversations which pumped much needed levels of confidence and soothing feeling in us. And yeah, eventually, this one too, joined the league, in style of course. Now, I feel good and light.

It all started by bumping into that area of complaints people file against the ones who sound extremely normal and ordinary, especially when the latter ones have been there, done that, gone through and back on to the path of normalcy. A bunch of spoiled brats getting together, stereotyping the happenings of people's lives, taking time out of their ill schedules to run spoofs and making fun out of nothing. Sadly, one day, realization takes place and one point would be made clear in the history again. All this would take them nowhere. They stand there, watching people pacing forward. Way forward.

As sirish emphasized on something very strongly, there's nothing like being unique through bullying around something, you were born as X and yes, you remain X and you die the same X. That's absolutely pointless in setting up some false benchmarks and standards to become someone.

Later on, it moved on to something which is identically ideological. Standing up for selves. There occurs a point in everyone's life when they feel the need to prove something to their selves, rather than proving something to this world. They go around, talk, blabber, about who all they look up to with extra ordinary levels of admiration and respect, what all they want to do etc. Few years down the lane, after a very normal, long and tiresome day, they hit bed, covered themselves up in a duvet, which separates them from the rest of the world, I am so certain that this question occupies their mind about their own potential and calibre and has it showed a remarkable impact on them, the dawn would break into a new day, and the day stands as the synonym for something called 'initiative'. I know quite a few jobless souls going through that phase right now, but I sincerely hope they'd outgrow that too, very soon and stand up for themselves for something noteworthy and significant. After all, every phase is a passing cloud and yeah, People outgrow everything eventually.

Well, art of conversing is something very underrated and very much overlooked according to Sirish, and I too second that in concurrence. Nothing would get close to the light hearted feeling you experience after a much need conversation with a good old friend of yours, and I am experiencing it right now, to the fullest. Conversations, which follow the purpose, rather than means, and which prioritise gist over arguments are the ones which make you feel confident and soulful.


Sirish, you'd be one of those few reasons which compel me to come back, I tell you. Long live, boy!
