3 Characters in a Structured Set-Up

NOTICE: This article is written in good humour.

I've been thinking about this article for so long. So, here I am putting across my lame thoughts.

We all have been living in some structured set-up for some time or the other, living our lives with people, slogging our heads into books, into work, into projects and what not. In a structured set up, we have come across so many people, some are like minded and most are not. Inside the closed doors of our lives, we often joke about the uniqueness of all these characters we come across in our lives.

Wait! This is no scoopwhoop but to make matters simple in this diversified world, I've divided people into three categories:-
1.) The Sycophants:-

These are the ones who just love the system. They love their teachers and their bosses. But wait! behind the doors, its a different story! However, they believe that they can get better things like marks and increments only by waging their tails behind the ones with authority. They are popularly referred  with "Ye tohh chhatate hai" (they lick) by the other categories. (No, I'm no Chetan Bhagat! But there was no better way to say these things. True expressions are represented best in local language :P )

2.) The Indifferent:-

These people are the ones who have no opinions at all. They are simply the "simple people". Basically, they are the Dementors of Harry Potter sans feelings, sans emotions and for other category people, they are sans minds too. Often, you will find them grumbling about the system. However, when they have the opportunity to put forth their opinions, they refuse to open their mouth. They prefer to keep themselves busy and happier with stuff they like and don't have time for "trivial" matters.

3.) The Rebels:-

Better referred with lines like "Humesha netagiri krne ki kya zarurat hai?" (Why do these people have to behave like politicians?) by other categories. These are the people who have more questions than faith on the system, on the people and everything. It isn't that they ask for perfections but a level of righteousness. They are often the ones who suffer more loses than gains by their acts. Therefore, slowly, these people move to the category of the indifferent people. However, their essential nature is still the same and time to time, it gets provoked.

These categories are often seen fighting against each other sometimes out on open and sometimes behind closed doors. One can be typecast in any of these three categories. But, one must realise that there is no real fight, only a conflict of interest and a conflict of thought. It is best to resolve the issues out in open. In the end, the best one is the one who behaves like her/his own self. So, be you!

  4. I like the last category. These are the people who put their eyes ears and mouths to the correct use, Instead of just being a rock. I think these are the only people who have the potential to bring a better change in any country.

    1. I used to think the same way as you until I started believing that being you is the most important thing whether you fall in any of the categories. And we need different perspective to a situation. So, there is this need for every category to co-exist with one another.
