Untouchable

I happened to browse through the photo galleries of National Geographic. This picture captivated my attention - for obvious reasons.

A Picture says a thousand words

This was the cover story in the magazine on Untouchables in India.
Cover Story : Untouchable

I had read this entire strip in the magazine. Quite a detailed and elaborate coverage provided to one of the burning issues in india.

Purposes

After my earlier blog on Future, Blah, Blah .. i had taken some action towards achieving "it" (- "the Goal") instead of pushing it aside as just a "possible dream". Not at all a bad show for one lazy bum like me.

Well that has brought me to writing the statement of purpose essays :-) Here is where i am stuck now. If only i knew what is the purpose of my life (or should i have used "purpose in my life" ???) wouldn't I be writing / doing something better than mulling over my "probable" bright future . :-)

When it comes to expressing yourself in prose, you should be either a writer gifted with lucid thinking or a glib liar. Its a pity, I am neither. One of my friends put the same idea across to me, rather rudely. Well, he said instead of writing sob stories about how your life stinks in your blog, put in some effort to create an equally powerful SOP. On second thoughts, not a bad piece of advice but sadly it is difficult for a person like me. I have been sitting and brooding over this "Purpose" question for so long that i have become totally haphazard with my daily life.

Its true that our every action shadows a purpose but should it necessarily be a strong , logical one. How i wish, i could just say, i did some act 1 b'coz i had nothing else to do. Simple and true. But no one wants simplicity. Grandeur seems to be the rage.

Let me make a move from this purposeless chatter to the task of getting out a verbose SOP :-)

Should be ready with one sooner.
