Can We Have Better Questions?



I am really pissed off, you meticulously plan a get-together with your friends after almost a year, and you have been desperately waiting for this day and guess what the questions asked and discussions surrounding a single question.

When are you getting married?

 If I am not married I am not on wrong side, Am I a terrorist? Or Am I a serial killer or Am I a Rapist? If not why the hell everyone is worried about it.

We used to blame aunty ji’s for keep sticking to this single omnipresent question of their existence, but are we youngsters really part of change, I am sorry to answer in ‘NO’.

We can’t expect greater changers in the part of old generation which is strictly stereotypical ,they may have been asked the same question in their young age and like rest they just choose to repeat themselves even if their own marriage is a perfect example of sucked-up relationships they would still expect others to be part of it.

I don’t know, why?  I really don’t have exact answer to this, so you may also apply your brain along with me around some possibilities, May be because they still believe in magic, since happy family is still not a myth, it’s called being hopeful, or they want to extract pure entertainment from your marriage ceremony, or just time pass since they have nothing better to do, whatever may be the reason, anyhow I am not against marriage, I am against this stupid question to be repeatedly asked as if this is  the only sole propose of our life.

For those who used to ask this with everyone with a smile must know that this is the most unintelligent question ever asked, if I will have to marry I will and you shall be invited to make some stupid arrangements for creating temporary fake impressions among visitors and thereby later you can rock the floor on an item song with absolutely absurd or no lyrics.

I just wonder why so many people with so much free of cost suggestions were not available when I really needed them, Like where you have been when I passed matriculation and needed career counseling and I was confused what to read which subjects to opt and what should be perfect career for me, and where you have been when I was depressed because of failure in a competitive exams and was seeking psychological guidance, or where you have been when I ate alone in a foreign land and desperately looked for at least a friendlier chat, where you have been? So please don’t come to me with a tag of well wisher and never required inquiry, sadi kab karoge?  
And then few people came with attaching one more stupid suggestion along with this one, “This is  right time for you”, stop this bullshit, and get rid of your prejudice and stereotypical thoughts, if you  have lost your ability to expect better things in life then it’s your problem not mine. Please don’t build wall for me.

So friends, why can’t we include better questions in our discussions? They not necessarily need to be national level problems but few basic questions which have never been raised in discussion can actually change the world, you will know it only when you will start asking them.
Can’t we start our conversation with a simple yet never asked question, Are you happy? If yes, great and if not what we could do for bringing more happiness in yours and others  life, how can we make our country/ world a better place to live, how can we be more creative and help others in their creative endeavors, and then we could also jump into diverse issues seldom being discussed, Like how to grow more trees and save the planet from global warming, how to save existing forests , how to save water, how to start saving water from house level, how to have healthy eating habits, how to be part of bringing social equality, how to stop humiliation, how to stop rape/killing, how not to be part of corruption and how to stop it, how to be more kind/sympathetic/humble and honest, how to be active part of pollution control, how to control population,  how to be part of poverty eradication, how to make a more tolerant/accepting and open society, how to eradicate superstition, how to save humanity from unnecessary rat race, growing restlessness and never ending materialistic pursuits,  and most important how to held a more positive and enthusiastic march towards a developed world, a world where everyone is happy, prosperous, healthy and at peace with others and with their own soul.

(My purpose is not to include all questions even if I wish to I can’t, I just want you guys to be more open, thoughtful and creative in asking questions, because remember  your questions can change the destiny of the coming world)
