India Uprising????

The ill-fated event that happened a week ago has fuelled the already angry public of Bharat. But the question still remains, "Is there going to be any change for good?"

We Forget... and We Forget Easily....

26/11... rings some bell??

Suicide: The last resort???

This is an article in TOI on May 15,2012 (i.e. today) which talks about alarming rate of suicide in Gurgaon, Haryana, India. 104 suicides in 4 months!!! with maximum number of people belonging to age group 20-30 years!!! I am not able to understand why these people, who are at the very beginning of their lives decide to end it?? Is it because the problems they are facing are so big that ending their lives is the only choice?? or is it because they are so weak that they cannot solve their problems and move on?? Whatever the cause is, I would not want to comment on that as I don't have any idea about it.

Lost n Found...

Does it ever occur to you that you feel lost? When you feel that something is simply not right? When you find yourself on a cross road and don’t know where to go? Well, at least it has happened to me. Not once, not twice, but many times. Whenever it happens to me, I try to do some soul searching.

Fading Memories...

When we were kids, friendship was meant to be pure, fight was meant to be fair and love was meant to be unconditional. As we grow up, though the theoretical definitions remain the same, the practice differs. We make friends to get benefits, fight mostly stands for back-biting, and love??? Well, that is the costliest commodity of the market. It literally takes everything from you, well, whether in terms of money or something else.

Giving Up???

Sometimes life seems too difficult to be survived... yet, at times it seems too easy to be meaningful... we try, we fail, we try, we fail again, again we try... this goes on... question is "when do you give up?"

Character Makes a Gentleman or Does it???

Once a foreigner asked Swami Vivekananda," Can't you wear proper clothes to be a gentle man? " Swami Vivekananda Replied," In your culture TAILOR makes gentlemen, But in our culture CHARACTER make gentlemen "

My Best Experiment Gone Horribly Wrong...

“By now you might have guessed that I am a scientist. Yes I started this age-long experiment with simple and small parts, learning from failures, improving to develop the best result. For once I thought I succeeded in obtaining the same and suddenly it seems all is wrong, horribly wrong.

Being Human...

These days there is a lot of craze of Salmaan Khan promoted “Being Human” Tees. You can see it everywhere, youngsters, kids, middle aged, all seem to be “touched” by the idea of being human. Or is it??

The Superior Species...

While studying evolution we see how the species originated and evolved into advanced life forms from crude ones. Charles Darwin's “Survival of the Fittest” and “Natural Selection” theories give enough evidences that Homo sapiens (or simply humans i.e. us) are the most superior forms of life (well, at least we think so). But here I am not talking about such evolutionary phenomenon.

The 'Value' and The 'Price' of Money...

I belong to a well to do middle class family. For me spending Rs.100 on some junk food is no big deal. Although I am not a spendthrift, but I have seldom realized the actual value of money until a few weeks back. It was when I met an old friend of mine after long years of separation (we were in contact online though). He was going through some family crisis. Economically we belong to more or less the same class, but now it seemed that he was in deep trouble.

The Obvious Chaos...

Egypt, Syria, Libiya, Yemen, Bahrain, London and now Bharat (or you may call India). There are revolts, uprisings for some common cause, may be justifiable (as in most cases) or unjustifiable.

A Half-Hearted Win...

These days my Mother Nation is celebrating the success of her children. The great people of this great country are full of energy, an energy which had remained dormant inside them for long time, an energy which was unleashed on a call from a 74 year old Gandhian. People are celebrating the broken egoes of “the chosen ones”. They are celebrating the win of “the forgotten ones”.
