Politics

The science of politics can seldom be unravelled .The unpredictable nature of man and the zillion stray thoughts that pervade his mind, makes it close to impossible to understand a person’s behaviour. How often have our “dear friends/colleagues” turned foes overnight? How often have “our own “ people betrayed us? How often have the people whom we trusted most cheated on us? Yet, life must go on. Life is a journey of both the pleasant and not so pleasant encounters. Each experience...

A Life of Hope

Having a hair cut on a Sunday, every month, has become more of a ritual in my life .I end up lazing on the barber’s chair, while he goes about exercising his skill at trimming the overgrown locks. The typical Indian barber shop is a fascination of colour, mirror and light’s where customers step in with the hope of changing their style to “look and live” the life of a film star. As the client eases into the chair , he finds the reflection of a stylish Amitabh Bachchan, Ranjikanth and...

Bring Back the Child in You

At the end of every day we have a countless thoughts that creep into our self-indulgent mind, some stray thoughts and many others about how the day panned out for us. Every incident has an emotion that triggers a response. We are either- happy, sad, disappointed, furious, excited, annoyed or even blank at times, but yes we think and continue to think to no avail.

There Is Always Light……..

I still remember the day I won my first award on stage. It was a second place for a debate titled” Science is Not God “, at the college fest .A gratifying experience. I had proved myself wrong .For the first time in my life I began to believe in my abilities. I always considered myself unlucky, till this happened. It was a revelation, a day that changed the way I think. Life is strange. The answers to many of our inhibitions are often answered by our very deeds! I was a bright student...

Politics: Signs Of Insecurity

Politics is defined in the dictionary as “ Social relations involving authority or power “. Come to think of it, the elite classes of individuals who govern any nation are called “ Politicians “. Some of us hope to be one among them, but the very use of the word “ POLITICS” infuses a whole world of negativity and is deciphered as a game of greed, treachery and bias. Politics in reality is the implementation of powers bestowed by virtue of position and is worthy of respect. The world...

When the Mind Is Blank

The mind is blank, thoughts aplenty, but nothing concrete that holds my attention . The world around me seems to be passing by , and  I am  struck in the maddening crowd without space ,direction or purpose . Its like a little child who has lost his way in the village fair , crying for help ,searching for his dear ones . I for once , do not know whether I am  in search of someone , or in quest of an unfulfilled desire . As I stand in the balcony on a rainy  winter afternoon,  the chillness...
