Imitation Irritation

Once in a while I do enjoy people imitating others. Like Shekar Suman imitating Laloo or Vajpayee or our very own Mimicry Dayanand in Kannada. But imitating should be strictly limited to entertainment and should not be extended to anyone's lifestyle. It just irritates me when I hear people say "I want to be like NRN or like Bill Gates" when you well know you cant be. A kingdom can have only one king. Circumsatances and their thoughts at that point are the ones that make the man what he really is today. You might be facing the same circumstances that these giants faced at some point of time but you might not have the same thought process those guys had at that point of time or vice versa. When none of our five fingers ar alike how can two persons be. I think its highly impossible.

Trying to be somebody else means you are trying to impose on yourself certain rules that might have never suited you. Its just like the human body. If something anonymous to the anatomy of the body tries t oexercise itself on the body resistance is provided so as to avoid the damages that might occur. Sometimes the resistance fails. So what happens? We fall ill. What do we do now? We take medication to drive out this unknown substances from our body which are causing the damage. We go far and wide to get ourself cured of this physical agony. So why do we never try to resist these thoughts that steal our inidiviuality from us?

I do agree everyone wants to be rich and famous like NRN and Bill Gates. Or even as hunky as John Abraham. But the means should justify the end. You cant replicate their thoguhts. So you cant just be what they are.

Try to be yourself. We need to create a world that has indiviuals and not just blind followers or as I believe imitators. We had many followers of Gandhi but just one Gandhi.

Let the world not be a replica of the past.
