Too many, too few
So many reasons, to complain.So many hours, in pain.So many tears, unseen.So many thoughts, unclean.So many minds, ignorant.So many ideals, decadent.So many, in vanity.And yet their faith, unperturbed, they flaunt their frivolity!So few people, who c...
The Red Witch Hunt
Thomas Paine, in his book 'Rights of a Man' states that -"Government's sole purpose is safeguarding the individual and his/her inherent, inalienable rights; each societal institution that does not benefit the nation is illegitimate..." There has bee...

Déjà Vu
My insides feel hollow,a feeling I live through.Your heart, you have to follow,But listen to your mind, will you?It was real when it happened,I know you felt it too.Yet, you ripped it apart,Isn’t that true?When I walk outside,I put on a smile,prete...

The most cliched note ever...
...but, heartfelt, nevertheless. I've come a long way, 23 years to be specific. I know to some of you it may not seem much, but to me it is a lifetime, literally! I have grown as an individual, learnt thing, picked up experience, developed strong opi...

Confessions!
The glorious night,stars shining bright,try as I might,feelings I cannot fight!As I sit down to write,of the horrors and fright,to you I invite;Hark, the tale I recite.I make a sorry sight,all vulnerable & blight.But don't pity my plight,coz, someday...

An air of arrogance
I recently published a post on my other blog about the now forgotten tragedy that was the Bhopal Gas Leak of 1984 called 'White Man's Burden'. And a white man’s burden it truly is. For those of you who don't know it a subject very close to my heart...

The End.
If I may, I will say,something been said before,'There will come a day, a judgement day,a day when I will be no more.'Watch your step, mind your words;Your deepest thoughts,they can be heard.Lower your voice,now kill your thoughts.Try to hide,but you...

About Monkeys & Koalas
Alright, I know I promised I wouldn't write till after my exams, but this was too incitive to not respond to. Now, I'm sure everybody has heard about the highly publicised racial attacks on the Indians in Australia. My sympathies are with the victims...

I recently read a blog post justifying abortion and stating reasons as to why it would actually be benefiting to the community. To my own surprise I actually, found the author's points not only reasonable but also very logical. But, as I must, I will...

I fear Utopia
I dream of a Zion...Of righteous, of beliefs.But I fear inanity, I fear amphigory.Of hope, of harmony.But I fear velleities,I fear iniquity.Of serenity, of concord.But I fear silenceI fear the cede.Of courage, of valour & of love,divorced from this p...
Devour
The night seemed to grow longerthe wait endless, the wine, her only companion, and the watch she looked at, over again.The dinner lay fancy & cold, the napkins in neat folds, Together they spoke, the obvious, which she ignored, tonight, he wasn't com...
Crossed Over...
I never knew of her existence till the later part of tender 13. Even though my mum spoke a lot about her, I naturally assumed that, she was only fondly reviving childhood memories of her grandmother 'Chaijee' from an era long forgotten.I truly believ...
Behind closed doors
- A fete to the silent victims of domestic violence. Speak up & speak out!!It is a question I ask myself frequently - How would it have turned out if I had chosen differently? After all I had the options, didn't I? I was educated, a post graduate wit...
Oh My God
I look, but I cannot see,the sight only so different to me,like some projecting movie,Charismatic, I say,Magnetic, I say,Oh so dramatic, I say;But I hardly believe.The flowing ink will only pause& give me moments for a single thought.I think, but I c...
The Last Kiss Goodbye
Their last kiss really was goodbye kiss. He was leaving on a business trip and she had come to see him off. He was always busy with something and going somewhere. But that didn't bother her anymore... well, at least that’s what she told everybo...
Infernal Red, so dead
Its been three months now since the fateful days. Somebody bled and we cried for them. They took the bullets for us and we screamed 'unfair!!'. While they walked to their graves, we walked a few miles for them. And as their dear ones still burn, we l...
The Drama
A shivering cold,An abstract soul,The holy drums,The unholy smoke.The crying child& his wailing mother,A bleeding heart& a broken bone.On parlous ground,his solid stand.In a fervid crowd,this lonely man.The silver sword,The golden word,unr...
The fallacy of hope
I wasn't sleeping when they bled. Like everyone else, I was wide awake and witnessed the attacks, glued to my television screen. Although I felt numb, I could still feel the cold fear creep in, only this time it was more prominent than the ones befor...
An ode to Him & Her..
The first time she saw him, they were at a movie award function and what followed was no less dramatic than a Hindi film in itself. The second time they met was at their college and couldn't believe how they had never come across each other all this ...
The Clean, The Dirty & The Pure.
Its cold, its wet and needless to say it is also very dirty. But it makes no difference to her. This is the only bed she has ever known for the last 12 years of her life. The only bed next to the western express flyover, on a footpath that has recent...
My Refuge
They don't have a country to call their own anymore. Its not like they don't have a land, but its not too much to ask for, if all you ever do is keep running for shelter from your own countrymen and strangers alike. These are real world problems, but...
Hypocrisy of Words
It wasn’t the last time I lied and it definitely wasn’t the first.But something about those words sounded so absurd.It wasn’t a feeling of dragging guilt,nor had my conscience been brutally killed!!It was a dark pleasure that rushed through my ...
