Anger: A Positive Emotion (a viewpoint)

“ Anger needs to be a positive emotion “, is a remarkable dialogue that I came across in a regional movie. More often I have only come across statements that degrade anger as an emotion that spells doom and most rightly so. However on the flip side controlled anger or aggression prevails in real life situations. Any emotion that governs an individual can be used either as a constructive or destructive tool. The choice is ours. Let me be clear that I m not in support of using anger as a...

When the mind is shattered

The mind is shattered. An unexpected change, an unexpected viewpoint, an unexpected result. I’m yet to come to terms with a certain action that has inflicted a wound that seems to aggravate with time. Varied thoughts lay scattered in my disoriented mind. It’s a moment of grief when I’m unable to decipher an answer. I’m for once feeling really low that my rational fails to cope with my emotional soul. In all our lives there comes a time, when we are unable to interpret the laws of human...

When the Mind Wavers

The mind wavers. There is a specific goal and the method to achieve it is clear, yet the mind wavers because of stray thoughts that intrude my emotional soul. The human brain is funny; many a times it complicates simple matters. I have been working towards a goal. All I need to do is focus on delivering my best, yet certain unpleasant experiences of the past pervade my mind, creating an analysis of the possible results. The permutations and combinations of the possible end results are being...

Reunion – The Power of Relationships

The very thought of meeting her estranged friend after years brought back nostalgic memories of those wonderful moments that had defined their lives. They had spent the prime of their youth together, in the same hostel room, sharing those little niggling secrets that failed to remain concealed within the ‘naughty heart’. Those were the days, when life was filled with mirth and bliss, and every man who passed their path, glared at their intoxicating beauty. They were the best of friends till...

Politics: The Game of Trust

Life thrives on trust. You wish to believe in the people you interact with. They make your world; they give meaning to your life. Belief in people instills a confidence that you’re heading the right way, till one fine day, the bridge of trust collapses in the midst of a political hurricane. Your anguished, devastated, betrayed, only to realize that the bridge never existed in realty. “It’s a Corporate World, people play their cards”, is so often heard. The fact however is, if you...

The Concrete Jungle

The sultry heat on a midsummer afternoon is a depiction of sun god’s prowess on the petty human souls and the barren land that is being baked by his glowing furnace. I stood along the payment of the construction site, analyzing the changing dynamics of realty (that’s my profession). I dreaded this visit. The minute I stepped out of the cozy confines of my air-conditioned car, I was profusely sweating. In a minute I was soaked in a deluge of body fluids that ceaselessly flowed from every...

My Name is Khan-Film Review

“My name is Khan and Iam not a terrorist”, a relevant message, but sadly not compelling enough. My name is Khan is a movie, with its heart in the right place but lacks the conviction and power to steer up your emotions. The movie from the Karan Johar camp is refreshingly different, as the director adopts a simplistic approach in dealing with a pertinent issue. The director goes beyond his trademark Grandeur and traditional family drama to describe the journey of the protagonist; an...

Those Blissful Moments

He stood admiring her beauty, unmindful of the maddening crowd. His eyes remained glued to her, while she was gossiping her way to glory, amongst a bunch of girls. She was bubbly, enigmatic and filled with character. The little lumps of flesh on her rosy cheeks blossomed like a flower, each time she blushed. These were moments of ecstasy. There was an unexplainable connect he established with this feminine soul that stood across the street, waiting for the signal to turn red. He felt like he...

The City Girl

It was well past 12 in the night and for a moment she felt a sudden surge of insecurity in the darkness of the club. The dim lights flashing across the room, made her feel secure in the obscure world, lest ‘known faces’ notice her. With every sip of Vodka, she felt the ominous presence of her father. She blurted apologies, falling on her knees, begging forgiveness, while her colleagues joined her emotional outcry, spilling beer as “One sane soul consoled the other”. Her father had been...

When the Mind Is Agitated

The mind is agitated, emotions are running high. The very thought of being wronged-offended-hurt erupts an internal volcano that aggravates with time. Thoughts of politicization and distrust begin to take shape. Your angry, beyond bounds that you wish to remain aloof. It seems the world is against you and the person in question will never be forgiven. You wish to return the ‘favour’, by giving him a piece of your mind. There is a sense of insult that brews within you. “He shall never be...
