THANKYOU 2015 for being so kind to me

As 2015 is counting its last breaths i just wanted to make sure I acknowledge all that it gave me all through its lifetime. List is well endless and I am highlighting just the main points to save the boredom of long post. Also pardon me 2015 if something slips out of my mind. 1)  REDISCOVERING ME:  Well this came as a surprise with my first year results that came out to be many times better than expected. From being an average student; me and my family discovered my academic potential. To be honest they have probably come in terms with my performance though for me its still to sink in. As the heading says it was like rediscovering me; my performance is not me its like a new me that I myself didn't  knew of (yes in a positive sense) 2)  NEW FRIENDS?:  Umm i guess not exactly did i make new friends this year but i re-united with a few old ones. Re established some bonds that were lost in some storm about which i am definitely not mentioning here right now (may be ...

IN THE AGE OF MALADIES

We read about pollution, corruption, discrimination  We read about injustice, cruelty and animal slaughter We talk about vices, endangerment and inflation And then we express fear, concern but slowly its all lost amidst laughter. While maladies without fear continue to rule us As we stay ignorant or too busy or too scared To challenge them or slap them tight on their butts And thus unrestricted these maladies flare. Are we too ignorant too coward or too shy Or are we too busy too frightened or too naive. What stops us from bringing about an amendment  Why do we humbly accept them as a part of living only bringing about adjustments. Adjust to the pollution by wearing masks Adjust to corruption by paying off the bribe even before they ask Adjust to the inflation by lowering your own demands And become blind to injustice till one fine day it will invade your own farm. Because birds keep singing their evergreen song Even if there is no greenery around Because mangoes continue...

GOSSIP: THE MISCHIEF MAKER

Image
We chat, we gab Tongues, they wag We listen to them in hush sounds And spread them around with big mouths. I am talking about this evil monster Hatred, betrayal and lies is all that it fosters Basically everything to make a person helpless and defamed Is all what is the motive of its cruel games. But Humans love them and do it on their will However; trust me its no surviving skill Its futile, baseless and waste of time Still sapiens have plenty of them waiting in the line. Still got no clue what it is? Its the one destroying                     friendship, marriages and relationships  Its the one causing                      humiliations and victimising the innocents And its the one                       Breaking hearts and disrespecting justice THIS EVIL is named GOSSIP Whose Words leak out like a faucet It thinks it knows ...

OVERDONE I's

“I did this, I said that Didn’t I warn you before hand? I had the premonition I knew it is nearing its demolition Ultimately I had to resolve the situation Oh! I already knew his reaction, I knew he would win”; So many I’s said in just a blink!! A common man when asked for his bias, It would be nothing but overlap of I’s. But why is there a smile on my lips While penning down this!! Hey even Im a common man, Of course million I’s lie even in my pan. C’mon lets accept the reality, We just want our superiority. We just advertise our dreams and thoughts And expect our words to be applauded till the last dot. Our dreams and success whether big or small, When expressed in long and boastful talk, At the end all you can realize, It was nothing but overlap of I’s. Lets now meet one careful listener, Who is supposingly interviewing some youngster. Who just overused I’s to convince the listener of his one-man team While the listener watched him with forceful glee. To listener the echo of hollow ...

THE ODD EVEN SCHEME IN DELHI IS HERE FOR GOOD

Image
The terrible air quality in India's capital has just become even worse so much so that the High Court has termed Delhi a "GAS CHAMBER". Delhi is today a reigning king of polluted cities in the world. Matters have worsened to the extent that there are only two options left : either die or take every possible step to curb air pollution and improve air quality at the earliest. In the light of such facts Arvind Kejriwal has come up with odd-even scheme.  The scheme, set to roll out from January 1 for 15 days, has been proposed to curb pollution in the national capital by restricting movement of private vehicles based on their registration numbers. According to this odd numbered cars will travel on odd days of month and even numbered cars will travel on even days of month. Although the rule has invited lot of criticism from every corner but the need of the hour cannot be ignored. Healthy environment is our right and our basic necessity for living. This schemes comes with its o...

FREE BASICS: Seeing the bigger picture

FREE BASICS: seeing the bigger picture  The very recent initiative by Facebook : Free Basics that claims to provide free internet access to all has brought about a lot of outrage in the country currently condemning the move. Although there are many who are supporting the move. The reason? Lets first try to see their point of view. Facebook is calling on Indian users to send an email to the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), asking the government agency to support its Free Basics Program. The form titled "Act now to save Free Basics in India" includes a message that reads: “Free Basics gives people access to vital services, such as communication, healthcare, education, job listings and farming information—all without data charges. It helps those who can’t afford to pay for data, or who need a little help with getting started online. And it’s open to all people, developers and mobile networks. However, Free Basics is in danger in India. A small, vocal g...
