Stop complaining and think ! !

This time, I am writing nothing new. Nothing not-known-to-anyone things. But today I am writing about something which is very well known! Yup. I am talking about the most talked about things in our country today. The C-word.

It was around 2 months back that we all felt that we saw a savior in Anna Hazare with his determined desire to bring the Lokpal Bill into it's existence.

But before we try to bring all the top-honchos to book, it is important that we do come across the various moments of unusualness which exist in our daily lives.

We all usually tend to have a strange affection towards getting things done easily. Jumping up front in a queue, getting a favor from someone to get something done, its considered all so normal. Actually, that's the sole emotional reason, or rather the root of favors. The concept of having contacts must not be the means to get cranky about getting things done in a jiffy. So as long as that sense of accepted-easiness remains etched in the mind of the so-called middle class, there isn't going to be an end for the C-word.

I agree, it is a great irony that we have to be so provocative to make the politicians do things, which they are supposed to do anyways. But, on the contrary, isn't it always required that we take a look upon our own conscience as well ? Don't we need to control ourselves ?

Thinking and acting will yield results.

Congratulations to Sachin!

And after a wait of 369 days, the day has finally come! March 16, 2012 will go down in the history books as the day when the Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar reached the almost unrepeatable milestone of 100 International Centuries in the Game of Cricket. This particular century had garnered a lot of attention, especially since it was the 100th one. And also because it took such a long time. Possibly the most Sachin has taken between centuries before. But as we say, all good things come with a wait, Sachin also had to sweat it out for 33 innings and then came this much-awaited century. It hasn't been easy for him at all, it's not that you by-default get a 100 if you reach a particular point. He had to strive for each and every run, even for the single after the 99. That's how the game is. Just merely because he is an expert in the game, doesn't make his work easy. It just makes others to consider it as easy for him. For him, each and every match, each and every inn...

Questions of Sanity

Through those steps of solace Rise the moments of despair Speaking of one unanswered question "Why?" When the nights blind away With those chirps of silent pray From the crickets humming their way "Why?" For, those dark corners Seldom return a face to mark The happiness reveals with a big "Why?" And under the lights We picture our doomed agony Like shadows in perceptions of "Why?" Often, we turn around and look Behind our steps of grace To picture the realm of safety "Why?" Fear, the detestation from reality For those who keep onto it Often keep repeating endlessly "Why?" The time of redemption arises With moments of glory in dreams A glimpse of light again, a change "Why not?"

A Ride Through the Night

It's been a while since I've put my fingers to the task, but it feels good to be back. This time, I'm along the lines of Batman - yet, a little into philosophy though. Yes, I'm talking about the Night (without the 'K'). Often we are moving from one place to another, as part of work, or as part of our personal chores. And almost all the cases, the mode of transport are our favorite Buses and Trains, which we rely on, more trustfully even than our own toothbrush! So during one such various tours, the thought struck me that a wider population is being 'in transit' during the night hours. Some taking hours in single digits, and some in double. The reason for destinations may be many, for family, for work or be it anything. Amid the rush, there dwells a night life! Across these nights, several interesting caricatures surface with their own stories. There's the lady who has drawn the beds early, settled in her comfort zone. There's the...
