Let there be Peace, Please!

Wishing all a very Happy & Prosperous New Year ahead. May 2013 be far better than 2012!!!

And as the whole world was expecting the End of the World didn't happen. Or did it? A different kind of end it is, if not the physical one.

Going through the recent occurrences of violence to humanity, especially to women, it's time that we hide our faces underground as a community. A society where women are raped, assaulted, will not progress in any way. Laws, statistics of criminal records, justice being delivered, all such things speak of it. The question we must all confront is - Where are we heading to?

Whatever the methods of control be - restrictions, new laws, change in mannerisms - those are not going to help. The change has to come in the Mindset. Unless and until that changes, we can be rest assured, nothing else is going to. No night time capping, no stricter laws. People who treat others in a manner which demotes the whole humanity - they have to be afraid. Afraid of the consequences, not for the system of law and policing, but from the consequences of the Society.

Once I read, that the end of the world in 2012 would be a change, not literally The End, as everyone expected. People, who constitute society, are undergoing a significant change. A change which should have been brought about years ago. A change of conscience, which they feel has been lingering for long. A change for the betterment of humanity. People are witnessing the atrocities in the world - and reacting towards it. That is for good!

With all these thoughts, let's aspire for a better world in the coming times. We are all humans of equal stature in morality. Don't destroy that. And until that is achieved, spread the message!

Let there be Peace!

one heck of a trip..

its not everyday that u go for a trip. but the one which we went ws very exciting.. its not evryday tht u go to a 150 km trip unplanned and all of a sudden. so in that way it was special. we experienced everything in between. 8 of us. the trip wasnt wht it became at the beginning. at the start, the idea was just to hire a vehicle and roam around the city. but when we had hired the vehicle for a day, the thoughts began swirling. bright ideas came up of what to do with the vehicle in one day.. and amongst many options put forward, the Cherai Beach near Ernakulam was the one we fixed. Started in the night of that saturday. Lots of roaming abt the places and confusions in between regarding the routes. and besides that there was this shortage of fuel. a couple of times, we just reached the petrol pump, jus when the fuel was getting over. the whole night we were driving. at abt 2:30 am we went to our friends' house on the way. now tat was a surprise 2 his mom.. then at abt early morning ...

Darkness

As I sit within these walls Those thoughts, the mind recalls Craving for that cosy hand With that familiar blue band The shadows in the moonlight Search for the bright sunlight That once existed, for long Without any inhibitions, forlorn The breeze sings in midnight Though the clock waits for the light With the miles crossing by But the moon floats, as its own alibi The walks sing their ballads Out when they call, the nomads Those who belong to this world Yet, while they lie all curved Along the streets, they speak Of stories which call them a freak Smile along they do with might When others smirk at their sight Forget those who are bemoan Running behinds dreams flown Chasing peaks which are unreachable Carrying loads pretty unbearable A day shall come, long-drawn When the time will dawn Upon them with a light so bright Fight, they shall, with all their might.

The Culture of a Train

The various miles through the tracks, across numerous destinations, capsule into a great journey. All throughout the ride, the core thing which drives it through, are those people which breathe with the journey. And that pulse is the basic necessity of every journey. A gentle, yet required heartbeat for maintaining the sanctity of the ride. Whenever I travel in a train, the best thing to notice and to learn from, are the people in that train. In our country, trains are a famous locomotive, and it ends up being the precursor to various dreams, sometimes nightmares and a handful yet pleasing list of wonders. Every train, essentially has it's source and destination, for what we miss to notice is, that these end points evolve one thing -  a Culture. We have trains traversing through different corners of the country, and still for some trains, its possible to recognize them just by a look, and not by their name plate. Some stand out with their generosity, their devotional capacit...
