For how long shrewdness and manipulative-ness will prevail? It is pervasive. But will it triumph ultimately? I often wonder, is this world belongs to selfish, scheming and “Me first” people? I was watching about Confucius’ life on History channel. He died as a disillusioned man. He sensed that nobody would listen to his uttering. Like… Continue reading If HE Can Visit Us

This request is from the all the HOMELESS flora and fauna of the notified area of the Panchmarhi forest. ================ I can’t speak. I can’t file petitions. I can’t lead protest marches.

India is already divided on so many lines; caste, creed, religion. The British did it. Now our own rulers are doing it. Laloo’s face flushes with pride whenever he discusses “MY (Muslims & Yadavs) Equation”. Why should we lag behind? We, the generation X, keep on inventing new means to divide it further. We create… Continue reading We, the people

I am flying high; The clouds, Hanging over my roof, Entice me to a dance. The summer breeze, Caresses me to insanity. The brilliance of sun, Invites me to compete with its magnitude. The moon offers, Tranquility to my turbulent soul. The grand banyan tree, Seems impartial in donating shelter. I have broken my wings;… Continue reading Situational Approach

Music floating in the air, Whispering voices enveloping me, Fizz of dainty wine, Playing on my tongue, Transporting me to a different planet, Not at the happening restaurant Of town. They promised a slice of heaven And kept it too! At peace with the world and myself laughing vivaciously, I came out. The gateman sprang… Continue reading The Salute

I am reading a post, which inspired me to do a bit of my own research! And this fact dawned upon me that my fellow blogger was right all after all. BJP and their allies are really cicadas. I will reveal their gameplan since independence. IT ALL HAPPENED IN LAST SIX YEARS. DON’T ASK HOW!… Continue reading Misdeeds of BJP

I am feeling inspired and highly optimistic. Our ancestors tried us to teach “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” (This whole earth is your family.). The Congress Party being the oldest one definitely took our ancestor’s preaching seriously and converted it into concrete reality. Hats off to them. Now I have placed very high hopes in our NRI Indians… Continue reading Hopes from Indians living Abroad

Imran to take custody of his ‘love child’ I was reading this news and absorbing the shock. He, till 1997, never acknowledged her as a daughter. But it is his personal matter.

Love, To be given and received freely, But I find no takers and no giver. Storm, Gathering momentum, Threatening to burst out any instant. Grief, Screaming to be assuaged. Impotent anger, Devoid of courage. Complaints, But no one listens to it. People, Afraid of caring and sharing, Refusing to come out of their closets. My… Continue reading Things in My Closet

From time immemorial, Orbiting this planet earth, Witnessing lovers Mooning over me, Making love, Manufacturing promises, Weeping over broken promises, Resurrecting promises. Perceiving my Venerated aura, Tranquil Radiance, Warm indifference, Absolute allure, As sprinklings of joy in their lives. I am not in a meditative trance, My infinite loveliness, Scaring everyone away. They love me… Continue reading The Moon

I strongly believe that people like our Ex- Election Commissioner, James M Lyngdoh does not possess the right to retire. Today when I heard the news about re-polling in more than 500 booths, (the honour of re-polling of around 400 booths goes to a particular State). India will always need him; even Afghanis want him… Continue reading He does not have the right to retire!

I cannot live a lie. I cannot hide private SMSes, I cannot resist recording telephone conversations, I cannot defy this perennial urge to speak to TV channels (of course for a few millions) or write a book about my private and torrid affairs to rich and famous and powerful. You know I am not on… Continue reading ‘Truth alone triumphs’

My death procession was passing through the posh colony I lived. I was suitably decorated according to the latest trends. Ah!!! I liked the scented water in which my body was bathed. I adored the faint perfume of jasmine garlands (the smell takes you to the brink of madness!) surrounding my body. Hummm.. My sons… Continue reading Success & Success!

I am often told to control my temper. Right from the childhood. I was never considered to be a good girl. One thing or another is always lacking in me.
