For those who came late....


This used to be the starting line of the famous comic book - The Phantom. This is how the stories of phantom used to begin. I used (still am) be a great fan of comic books.
How I used to like all those books - Amar Chitra kathas; the Panchatantra stories, the mythological characters, the superheroes like Phantom, Mandrake 'n Luther, Flash Gordon... 'n the list continues. My aunt gifted me a huge collection of Disney comics; who can forget those characters - Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Daisy, Minnie....



During our summer vacations me and my bro used to rush to our close-by circulating library to get the latest Tinkle, Archies, Tintin..... We were fantasied by these stories and characters. I'm sure most of my time guys used to do the same.



Hey, but hold-on; why am I giving this title for my post? This is for the new generation who are less / not exposed to these characters / comic books. This is for the children who came late [new generation]   :-)
All these comics were a lot of time pass,  had mythological tales, GK, moral stories....

Gone are those days of comics; this new generation are less exposed to these comic characters. Off-course few are still alive on the toon channels, but that kind of learning, fantasies is less now. 

The below is just for fun... how those characters would look like after 60 years...






Hmmm.. to revive back those days, I gifted my son few comic books for his 3rd birthday. He loves them and he wants me to narrate those stories to him daily :-) and I love doing that !!!

Lets tell these comic book stories to those who have come late !!!

Blaming others - a criminal act

Lets understand the definition of this crime; Blame is the act of censuring, holding responsible, making negative statements about an individual or group that their action or actions are socially or morally irresponsible, the opposite of praise. When someone is morally responsible for doing something wrong their action is blameworthy. By contrast, when someone is morally responsible for doing something right, we may say that his or her action is praiseworthy. There are other senses of praise and blame that are not ethically relevant. One may praise someone’s good dress sense, and blame the weather for the crop failure. (this defn is from from Wiki)

Why do people blame others?

  • When there is a fault / error / mistake and things have gone out of their control.
  • When people want to hide their mistakes.
  • When people want to take advantage of a situation / play politics.
  • When people want to play prank on others.

But when blaming, do you really think of the implications? The implications can be:

  • The blamed person may not be the actual culprit / has fewer roles in the mistake. In this case, he/she will get a bad name and it might result in distrust on that person from others.
  • You will be caught some or the other day for this. The blamed person may start hating you.
  • When your crime is revealed, the blamed person may also play against you and fix you in a similar situation.

Think before
blaming?

  • Before blaming just check your conscious whether your doing right or wrong.
  • Try to avoid the mistake and handle the condition to your best possible extent.
  • If a person has to be blamed, then warn the person about this (if he /she is the culprit before) and then blame.

Be a gentleman not a hypocrite.
