Religion
where believing that others' religious sentiments are inferior to one's own
where bombs and guns are a medium of salvation and where innocent people are killed in the name of God
where logic is inferior to religious thoughts
where going to church is more important than actually following the Bible
where GOD is an instrument of his own followers

Life
where following your dreams is considered a cardinal sin
where doing what you believe is going against some people's likes and in the end becomes going against the world
where one who was shunned before for their thoughts are welcomed like kin by the same folks
where money decides who's whose friend
where women are adored as Goddesses but treated as slaves otherwise
where all principles of life are restricted to books
where people who are supposed to protect something / someone are responsible for destroying it
where the worst enemy is in fact your best friend
where one's destiny is determined by their caste, creed, looks rather than their actual potential
where first impression is the last impression
where we make sure a disabled person feels they are not normal especially by sympathizing with them
where parents think all their children have to do is fulfill those wishes which they couldnt achieve
Love and marriage
where looks are the first and mostly the only criteria for marriage
where marriage is decided by relatives
where a guy and a girl from same religion but different castes cant spend their life together
where the best relations are made with those whom you may have met a few days back
Politicswhere a low IQ, incumbent, goon is chosen to rule you
where people spend their time watching TV when they should be choosing who ll lead them
where a country which speaks of peace and stability has the highest number of nukes, is one of the biggest exporters of weapons, and has been instrumental in many wars
where speech is free but comes at a huge price sometimes at your own risk
I live in a strange world and wonder
how much more stranger
have I to become to survive
in this strange world

Buddy, we all have to choose our own paths to attain our destiny...it aint gonna be easy...but the fun part is to believe in something, live (and die) by it and convince everyone about it..thats what lifes all about...
