Seeds

Hello Readers,
How are you all?

Welcome to yet another chronicle of this extraordinary fool.
                           This one took place on a Thursday morning, you know how those busy mornings are, you leave the house with a piece of toast sticking out from your mouth, your bag hanging on your shoulder, that quick pace in your walk looking at your watch from now and then. I got to the bus stand adjoining to my colony "Vikas Kunj Apartments", the bus stop is that of "District Center" which is at a 5 minute walking distance from it (its so confusing to tell people on which bus stop they should get off). Well, then began the everlasting wait for a bus that just doesn't show up .. and when it came it just didnt stop on its designated spot so I had to run for it (you know how they say your life flashes in front of your eyes, that shit ain't true) and when I ran I dont know what it was on the road but i slipped and fell next to the bus and cursed out loud, i guess a few people heard it too because they looked at me funny (not with pity or sympathy that i fell but, funny). Next was the crowded and stuffy bus ride to my college and that was 50 mins long.
                              I crossed the road and got to the side of my college like every other day but, today I witnessed something appalling, two kids were scaring a puppy dog and pelting him with stones (but, thats just something kids do right? thats just way too normal to be noticed and pondered upon right...??  Wrong) while calling out these very words "jai bhole shankar"  thats one of the sayings equivalent to praise the lord(for the readers who dont know hindi). I was taken aback by this little incident. How mutilated has our society become that even the little kids, the youngest of our society are learning to impose fear in the name of god, how is it that a seed to create and enforce fear in the name of god is planted even in the little ones, the ones who are supposed to shape our society?? Last I heard god was to be loved you know, not feared so, I wanted to stop those kids but i didn't, I just couldn't because I knew they were not the culprits here. I wonder what fruit would such a society bear, what would life be like under the fear of god's name.
                             I personally despise a man made for religion because it is religion that is made for man, for us to try to understand what god is, too bad the entire thing is just backfiring.
            WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT IT??

Happy Happy Calm

Today I had an unusual air of calm inside my lungs. Today I was in no hurry to get up and go to work, I knew that sleeping in 30 minutes more wont hurt anybody, I walked to the Metro train station in a long 10 minute walk (it takes me precisely 7 minutes to get to the station from my home) and i was fine, not put of breath in any way, I was subjected to the same unrelenting crowd of rajiv chowk and I didnt care. In the metro I didnt offer my seat to any (coz no one aged nor any woman in need appeared) as I got the seat during the last leg of my journey. I got to my workplace only to realize that I had left my key at home but, instead of calling everyone with the key to hurry to the workplace, I waited it out. This new feeling of calm is elevating, Im worried for nothing and this maybe the first time in my entire life that Im worried for nothing. No, doors need to be locked, no switches need to be turned off, no deadlines to meet and no love to greet. There is a profound happiness that...

Australian Film Festival of India at my College

So, as it happened that today an event was held in my college where Australian films (2 to be exact) were screened to the Bachelors of Journalism and Mass Communication's students and faculty.           The films that were screened were:             1) The Rover           The Rover is a film depicting the post apocalyptic times, a world of hunger not for food but money, a thirst not for water but money and sharp revelation of the surviving humanity. The Rover was a film by David Michod, along with actors Brad Pitt and Robert Pattinson that had a linear form of story telling. The story is set in a post apocalyptic world. there is a carjacking incident where the lead's(Brad Pitt's) car is stolen. The director successfully depicts the attachment to materialistic things in the world in the first act only. This is further established when "the brother of the carjackers in the movie i.e. Pattinson" is find...

A Lighter Heart

Been away from this vice for long now, I thought I was saving up my words, my thoughts but, they were rather getting lost. So, I'm not this "serial writer" who just has an urge to write out of something that has stuck my mind ANYMORE, I am more of a keep to myself these days and the job surely just keeps me busy. I was just celebrating my Saturday staying in bed (coz that's the extent of my celebrations #sadmuch), I thought of writing some shayri (poetry) but nothing came to my mind. I thought to myself perhaps this is because I have been keeping things in for so long, so, I decided to let it out but, the everlasting dilemma still struck, what to write when you have nothing to say, do you struggle with it often, what gives you this clarity in thought if it never happens to you. This entire thing was brought upon by this friend of mine, who sent me a piece of her shayri (poetry), and I did not have an answer for it, I thought hard and nothing, so I decided if not th...
