#FreedomMind The world as u see it, and our country as you know it! We have been running our country on our own since 74 years now. We have surpassed numerous countries in terms of defense, nuclear power, digitalization, fashion, entertainment, space exploration. All this feels yum, isn't it? 1% of the population gets infected and everything is in a state of turmoil. All the humongous resources and colossal funding behind nuclear power-plants and space exploration were petrified in front of few beds and oxygen demands. It's a strategical fiasco to book a seat on moon when you can't provide enough beds for merely 1% of your population. Oxygen, the most fundamental asset of any country. Poofed! Not one single river is potable, not one single forest is habitable for the wild. Hybrid vegetables, processed milk, radiated water, pesticide-swamped fruits. Nearly 75 years flushed out, however, building toilets is still on our political agenda. Lakhs of poor and helpless workers trudged there way home 1000s of km away last year; and we feel overwhelmed when bullet train news flashes on the TV. We now want metro in our cities even at the expense of fertile agricultural land! "Birds" a small word taken for granted and so much bossed over since ages that our readiness to butcher them just because we don't want our live streaming to buffer anymore, speaks of the devil within us. Every basic and fundamental elements of a healthy life have been miserably ignored for the want of power and status quo. Health sector- deficiated. Educational sector- freezed. Politicians- discombobulated. We are all at fault for this. A collective failure. We have achieved great many things as a nation. Nevertheless, its worth is not worth it. Our success is brightly haloed by our failure, eclipsing all that we sacrificed for our freedom until 1947.
#ExtinctionOfChildhood... It is strikingly unexpected from today's highly educated parents who are more as teachers and tutors for their kids all the time rather than parents. Kids are served with so many unnecessary irrelevant "To Do List" that makes them question whether the real 'Purpose of Life' is solving math orally? or knowing spellings flawlessly? Coding for kids has been another such tempting Adam's apple for such competitive and acquisitive parents. Coding is not merely understanding syntax, it is about problem solving which is gained from the wisdom of finding solutions of day to day problems like patience is learned from marathon, maneuverability from outdoor games, focus from indoor games and not from some colorful mobile games, never! An illiberal schedule. A formulated diet. The predetermined vacation study-goals. Restricted mobility. Life of kids seems to be nothing less than a military training. In the name of 'Creating better Career' for kids the parents are in fact 'Shopping for better Career'. Making them word-perfect in everything there is on earth before they are 18 so that they could finally decide on which career to buy! This way, the kids bloom to become a robotic machine. The global warming and COVID situation made us realize the only thing that ultimately matters is knowing how to purify water, how to grow your own food, how to cook, knowing remedies for different diseases, tree plantation and capability of exhaustive physical activities. Kids can't unravel compassion, integrity, respect, honor, sportsmanship by subjecting them to unflinching intangible torture of their parents' academic tutorship day in day out. Is it the childhood that is at the verge of extinction or is it the parenthood?
The sad demise of our multi-talented actor Sushant have created a wave of professional independence especially among the struggling actors, directors and singers of Bollywood. The nation is witnessing a deja-vu connected to the sacrifice of the great Mangal Pandey in revolt of 1857. If we remain under impression that the series of annihilation of his already signed movies has depressed him which ultimately led to that despondent act, then we are ridiculing our sub-standard knowledge on 'How Bollywood works'. In the name of entertainment, the so called Bollywood industry is a pandora's box which runs under the framework of all kinds of godawful and spine chilling activities. A particular 'bollywood gang' (Not taking any names as everyone knows them) has become a hocus pocus for organized crime, drug dealerships, smuggling, blackmailing, conversion of black money into white, funding for criminal activities etc. Why has the practice of Nepotism being pressed so much in the industry today? Childrens of well known actors have always made a way into bollywood from centuries and this has never been questioned! Its because the 'bollywood gang' which rules the Bollywood industry today gets threatened by a successful and sincere newcomer who haven't seen how the industry works on ground level and above all not willing to be an inherent part of it too. The nepo-kids have seen it all through their childhood..! (Most of these idiots have stigmatized "the skill of acting", repeatedly insults the indian culture and feel proud about it.) In wake of this enchilada when a mere 34 years old actor becomes famous and successful, by surpassing most of the reputed actors, happens to be an 'outsider' for the bollywood gang. His success would ruin the career of nepo-kids. With the nepo-kids gone, the career of directors (u know who) who earn their bread from useless and non-sensical movies starring these nepo-kids would be wiped out too. With all the liquid money extinguishing, the other illegal business that runs in the hideout would be permanently slaughtered. The sacrifice that he made, i hope we all make it count. Let us unflinching pledge to support the 'deserved' one, instead of the 'reserved' one! Jai Hind!
Strangers of first meet...
Villains of my greatest feat!
Relation of a casual hand shake...
Example of all that is fake!
Bait of dinner bills...
Warm fart of winter chills!
Couch for dumping emotions...
Punching bag of overflowing frustations!
Dear friend... lets become strangers one more time...!
From the beginning starting with..."Once upon a time..!!" ... !!!
#SummerStory In a scorching June summer, I was working on my computer in my Lab #Lab109. Eyes glued on the monitor. Fingers thudding the keyboard. About four hours passed and i got thirsty. I quickly gulped some water and in the process spilled some drops on my table. Started thudding the keys of keyboard again. But after some time I realized some tickles on my palms which were almost at the edge of the keyboard. To my surprise, it was an ant. It possibly came from the wiring cabinet of the CPU. It started to drink the few drops of water i had spilled on the table. I bowed closer to it and almost saw that ant gaining some life. After a minute of its "feast", the ant got over the keyboard and on to my palms and went inside the cabinet as fast as it could. May be the ant was sort of thanking me!. This moved me so deep and made me realize the extent to which anyone in the world can extend help to anyone anytime and anywhere. That ant kind of taught me a life lesson today! Oh btw... that clever ant came back with some more buddy-ants. This time i spilled some more water on the side table. They all drank happily ever-after!!!!!
#YuvrajSingh There will always be a strange emptiness on the field knowing that my childhood hero has moved on from cricket! I followed him so fervently that i switched from right-arm fast bowling to left-arm leg spin with exactly his bowling action! Like gazillions of young lads out there.. to me he is not just a 'hero'.. but a hero that i rank above Sachin, Sehwag and Vivian Richards! 19 years of his cricket careers and I cheered for his every magnificent cover drives and lofted sixers! And now his watch has ended! Thank you Yuvi for all the entertainment and inspiration! If only i could go back in time of the famous 6 6 6 6 6 6 innings and feel the Adrenaline rush all over again! If only...!
There is a striking similarity between #RaGa and Jammie Lannister #GOT. They both lost their 'hand' ! Both were defeated by a women #Dany #SmritiIrani ! Both tried to 'vanish' the king #Bran #NaMo ! They lost with their sisters alongside them #Cercei #PriGa! Both are nothing without their fathers name! Both look smart ! Both take stupid decisions!
#CouldntHelpButNotice I wonder how one of the nation's largest political party have so many anti-nationals stuffed in it. It is slapping us with the same hand it is using to beg for votes. What's worse..! they keep on adding such back-stabbers day after day. My heart goes out for our country when such sort of political party welcomes and empowers a man who is legally booked for insulting the National Flag and found guilty of rioting, arson, damage to property and unlawful assembly #HardikPatel. A youth who is known for his graveness of anti-national slogans forms yet another arrow in their quiver #KanhiyaKumar. One of their members gets life sentenced for anti-sikh riots! From son to son-in-law, everyone even in that family is a fifth columnist, to say the least! The list is plenty. With the kind of superficial personality their leader #RG showcases everytime, I genuinely wonder what if he was not born in this family...what would he be doing today then???? (Fixing potato machines may be...!! ) In fact... Every political parties are flooded with such kind of social criminals who have legal cases pending against them with heinous charges like murder, criminal intimidation, rioting with deadly weapons, rape, kidnapping. In such a political quagmire, we get stuck even deeper when a handful of honorable personas like Mr. Parikar, Dr. Kalam, Mr. Vajpayee and others leave us to fight our own battles.
#ThirstyMind Although there can b a story in a picture; Seldom does anyone picture that story! Ain't there always parched throats waiting to be quenched, bleak emptiness in a temple, a barren land waiting to be drizzled upon, dried up leaves patiently standing by for dew to settle upon it and ofcourse, there is this picture waiting to be crowned...!!!
#HikedMind Back when britishers ruled our country, many satyagrahis' were jailed, many protestors were shut silent, innumerable were detained. But we finally got it... the freedom that we deserved! The freedom that was ours in the first place. Today, I couldn't help myself but see the same outrage. The helpless Research Scholars of India ... out on the cold streets of Delhi.. stuck in middle of a political quagmire... and buried under the illusion of trusting its own govt.! Many arrested (despite getting permission), many shut silent (despite being peaceful) ! I could only see this as a political strategy of govt. where we are merely pieces of pawns to them. Even Britishers thought of Mahatma Gandhi as merely a lawyer! Little did they know he could bring a storm with satyagraha! Every political party has used the "progress of science" card to get myraids of votes and prove their worth to run the country. The real tragedy is that, they get a part of this at the cost of thousands of researchers who stay away from their family, home, aged parents, wife and children. They do it anyway! They lose their age, health and a part of their youth in doing one thing they know they are going to be remembered for... their research! They do it anyway! All they ask is a fellowship they deserve and that is worth this sacrifice! We are living in a country whose emblem reads "Truth always Trumphs"! We hope it will!
#TheyTooMind ... There actually is a bigger problem at hand... it surprisingly doesnt have to do with any gender or class. We are so absorbed and self obssessed with our diurnal agendas that it eclipses the actual... bigger... alarming problem... exitinction of life from earth ! We need to save ourselves from us first! The question of saving us from others can wait. War for wages would soon turn to war for water... People can't bear to slaughter even a small chicken but would endearingly eat it. Hypocrites!! The only one who deserves to get extinct is humans.. not dinosaurs.. not pandas.. not white whale.. not rhinocerous. Earth was actually much better and livable in their reign! Religion says we go to hell after death! Guess we couldnt even wait for death.. we started building one right over here!! For sake of all the sinful breaths we puff up... the only humble step I could do is to make all of us carefully listen to this speech atleast once in our miserable life! May be one day someone will ignite a #TheyToo movement!!!!! #Animals #Plants
#PoliticalMind A nation that toils on a rather logical politics is a nation with atleast some material politics! Well, its utterly disheartening that in a country like ours where politics have been a constant de facto since the arrival of Britishers, we now have to witness leaders who claims "Coca-Cola was founded by a person who sold Shikanji!". Adding to this unwholesome embarrasement he goes on stating "McDonald's founder sold food in a dhaba". And many such self-concocted statements that he delivers to national and international press, seems to smother the political status quo of India. Another hypocritic political leader whose party symbolizes support for backward class people, mysteriously manages to erect her own statue worth a whooping Rs. 40,000 crore!! Also, we have had a PM who barely spoke in his tenure but now keeps on criticizing the running PM every weekend like its a outing to the zoo. Democracy in India is a mere mirrage. Its more like a war between 'a HAND of Monarchy' and 'a LOTUS of Oligarchy' and some other trivial archy's loitering to turn the table around by forming coalitions. Gazing at such a chaotic shinanigans i sometimes feel that with a "Democratic British Rule", India would have had a much better political supremacy than any other nation. #HopeForBetterPolitics and yes... the founder and inventor of Coca-Cola was in fact a pharmacist who also served in 3rd Cavalry Battelion in American Civil War. #Wiki
#RoomSickMind It's always there. Waiting. Observing. Sympathizing. Even though we care the least to look back at it. The stuffs that we stuff in the small little hostel room are so diversely gross that this very room can be aptly labeled as an artifacts museum. There are things in the room from god knows when and have come from god knows where!! This deepest darkest room is infected with so much "material misery" that we can actually see the floor in only the spot where we keep our foot to walk and the rest is simply 'occupied'. It's like a minefield; you step on anything but floor you end up breaking the thing that you once held dear to heart; and also that we were looking for it since last couple of months!!!. You know what i feel about my hostel room? If the human race ever faces an Alien Invasion, i would like the aliens to use my room as their secret headquarter. I am sure they would always be amazed of what comes out from every nick and corner of this small little room. !But again folks, the only place where i want to wind up after the hectic day is Room B-015. The place where i have gone through almost all the humanly emotions. The weird feeling comes when we are shifted to some other room and we happen to pass by through this old room, slowly rolling our eyes to have a glance of it and realize it looking back right at us and and saying..."Did you miss me?"
#ResolutionMind ... The last arc of yet another earth's revolution, the last ticking's of an hour hand in that clock, the last scrapy page of a 365-days old hung calendar. Ever wondered whats that one abstract element of human life which makes the dichotomy of the 31st and the 1st so very unusual? I think its 'Hope'. A hope to do the undone, to laminar the turbulance, to prove the unproven, to pass my failure's and to right the wrong's. But then again, it's what i merely plan u see! Plans that are stubbornly eclipsed by my laziness-powered senses. Every single thing i wish to do gets dumped on the to-do-list of January the 1st. And guess what my laziness speaks to me on January the 1st ... "Damn! If only we were on Jupitar... ! "
#CurrencyMind... Yes, i will take pains. Yes i will stand in a queue. Yes i will stand behind HIS decisions. It may not boil down to the result he expected and cunning minds may slip through the grip. But this hurrican will leave a lot of plunderers naked. Today, for the greater good, i will take pains for my land. Because i am not an indian who simply attends independance days, enjoys public holidays in the name of great martyrs, stick likes on fb for indain army or stand for national anthem in a cinema hall. My country needs me to stand and deliver. I will. Its time for all of us to take responsibility by not creating chaos. Barking dogs do not have the intelluct nor the potential to forsee the events that might occur if these things are not changed today. Do not fall prey to their pessimistic view. Lets just say we all r freedom fighters in this digital era where our land is taken over by some artifical intelligence.
#SocialMedioticMind .... Accept it or not, we breath a binary world. A world wherein we browse to death. Where internet's thirst is quenced before water's. Where emoji cuddle's, slaps, laughs, cries, kisses on our behalf while we sit back home turning to a rotund couch potato. Transition era, is it? A transition into some amorphous psedo-world where life roll's on a ... (Wait for it)......... "keypad"!
How hypocrite of me...
#AccidentalMind ... Accidents...!These little fellas are inescapable! and recently its been steering our lives too! A couple accidentally meet at the ATM booth, and ends up marrying each other, a candidate accidentally 'trumps' in presidential elections and may bring upon next generation war. Two polar opposite events! but the common denominator in both is - Mr. Accident! I accidentally woke up early and saw a peacock at my door step! Whats more? the first human was an accident, big bang surely, newton's apple probably! Well, life sums up to me as an accident with time; and ironically its with time we realize that it was never an accident, it was meant to be- 'our destiny'! because my friend, "Everything is written just as accidentally!"
#IsolatedMind ... With tensions across borders, with 'multi' bilateral deals, with the mainstream media set to crush whoever comes in its way, with the vapid cat fights among politically 'garbaged' parties, it anxiously occurs to me ... "R we standing at the cliff of an unsurmountable war? A cliff high enough where the breeze of power and accolades , pumps our guts and personifies our warriors as- 'invincibles', when we've actually treated them as- 'expendables'. And a war wherein we throw people's life like a dice on ludo board; while we sit back home avoiding taxes, skipping the votes, exaggerating trivia and naively paying for "Noodles and Manchurians" (If you know what i mean!).
All this for what? For a piece of land logged with chunk of snow? For supremacy? For vengeance? In the wake of picking up the victory trophy, we execrably tormented the very foundation we stood upon- 'Love' ...!
#PicayuneMind... Waking up before that big ball of fire bounces from behind those mountains seems a pretty trifling task. Hey, ITS NOT..._!..... Especially, when u have to do it every single day. The picayune mind tries every irrelevant, illogical, nonsensical and still-self-convincing reasons to ..."Shut up and Sleep...". Come on dear sun, don't u ever brush, bath or gym in the morning.? Do u follow a calendar with no 'Sundays' in it? Or is ur clock like an hour ahead in time??,or hey... Do u have a sun of ur own that rises even before u do???? U surreptitious lazy ball of fire!!!
#ASleepToLooseForALifeToMake. #AtleastOnceInAWhileSunTryRisingLate!!!
#SubduedMind ... Seeing kids playing around can occasionally be pretty retrospective. The unflinching concentration on the last ball of the game, the smallest cheating that brings the largest happiness, the 'muddylicious' taste of tap water, the smell of hard 'agricultured' sweat and the list never seems to reach a full stop!! #DaysOfChildhoodInnocence
The wind that breezes over the river, appears still as death and warm as life until the time it steps into the deep gigantic ocean a gazillion times bigger its size. The wind then, is no more just a wind. Suddenly, its a 'Hurricane'..!
#SuperOverFlowingRandomThought ... why do we hunt for a permanent solution to all the hocus-pocus chaos we go through knowing that nothing is permanent. Yesterdays magic saga turns into tomorrows tragic tale. We lighten up well-sought dreams, with a thought of living in its warmth; but end up burning them into ashes. Just like planning to relish a double chocolate ice-cream over a crisp wafer in a Disneyland turns into devouring a candyfloss over a stick in an abandoned park.
#RandomConsciousness... No matter how maddening the fuss in times of farewell be; there is a definite unusual hush in those bye's and cheerios... ehh folks!!!
What goes around... Comes around...and when it does .. Thats the fun part...!!!
An unprecedented spot in life where a hopeless thought crawls all the way to the mind through heart restlessly reminding again and again that... "No matter how alone it seems you are or try to be... someone's always watching!"
Its the unruffled shade of nature which cannot be plausibly comprehended by those who have horror inside them!
