Hunger is the best sauce, said she. Bang! The door thundered along with the
echoes of anger. Our English teacher has just left the class after scolding a boy
for not completing his work. The school time has expired for the day. What
did she mean? I interrogated myself. Ayye!! Man, what the hell! How can
hunger be a sauce?? and further more isn't Maggi tomato the best sauce I
know ?
I was in grade five, and so happy with my budding thoughts, I concluded few
things; beauty and brains do not go together, school teachers are born out of
inexperience and knowledge conned by heart, and I swore that I will never
become a teacher.
Proud and happy, I moved on and so did life.
The title had probably glued to my subconscious; and that's why even after six
years of first tryst, I smile when I recall it. Tired and hungry, after working very
hard for my English project, cooking the hot pasta, the thunder of the water
bubbles rattling my ears and mouthful of saliva aggravating my hunger, I
stated, hunger is indeed the best sauce. When hungry, anything worth
eating appears to be the last thing on the planet and we put it down to the last
morsel. Happy and relaxed, I was to discover the supposedly true meaning of
the quotation. No sooner did I swallow the pasta in voluminous chunks to the
last drop, did I go to sleep. A couple of years back, I was neck to neck with my
fear of failure. A fantabulous enriching experience mind you, if you learn
from it. Having hit rock bottom, I knew that only place to go was up. I began
the hard work. Each day was like starving for success. The test came and went.
Content I was, my result being satisfactory.
One fine day, recalling the process of the effort I had put in, I finally truly felt
'Hunger is the best sauce' terribly happy, it was neither the Maggi, nor the
rattling pasta, but the burning desire deep inside your soul which is the real
hunger within you. Hunger here symbolises the regular efforts we put in to
harvest a fruitful contentment.
Marriage?
For O! Dearest, I empathize
With the irreplaceable loss incurred on you
And so I want you not to just escape it
Under the refuge of hope, dream, destiny or sympathy
But instead triumph over it
On the chariot of your own will
With the sword of your infinite virtues!
I'm waiting to see you soar high, again
Let you be dawned forever!

Are you kidding? A common story of every household, we are sure it is.
Something which we wonder when our mothers start turning the pages of the
family history and traditions, telling which family member married at what
age. Do you know that your aunt got married at 19, and your uncle was just 20
when he took the plunge?" "Ah, it's an old tale; isn't marrying at a naive age of
25, considered a child marriage in this android world?"
Are you kidding? You are just 25. What about your education? What have you
further planned? It is going to be tough. "Ah, it's an old tale; weren't you just 20
when you got married? I am sure it's going to be a cakewalk instead of a
tightrope.
Fellas, if you are still pondering about what you are reading, to give you some
idea, these are just few bombarded questions with eyes that reflected dilemma
and doubts. Getting settled at an age when fame and money intoxicate you,
killing every fear and eliminating all ifs and buts, believing in that voice that
comes from within, and getting captivated by each other's charms; this is what
it was all about!
Life, which is like a river since its origin, slowly starts learning the tricks of the
world; at this youthful age, flows with vigor to change the world around itself
with the energy nobody has witnessed or encountered. And magically, comes
to halt for a while when someone softly touches that corner of your heart! That
magic, that scintillating and mesmerizing experience, that beauty and that
fervent passion, all have their destiny carved to resonate into a musing of
fascinating expedition.
And it is now when the question arises in you, Should I run behind
something which I can never hold forever (read youth), or should I live this
moment holding hand of the one who will be there with me perpetually? It's a
decision which can create ripples in the silent sea. And at an age of novice,
when parents think you still are their obedient kid, you take that inherent
choice which is soaked in the essence of those muses. And we chose to
Right-Angled Triangle
continue holding that hand, unlike many others whose souls get weak with
jitters of unknown future. We aren't sure either how our tomorrow would look
like, but what we see now is present as beautiful as a dream; colored with the
happiness we share, sprinkled with glitters of our love, and cushioned in the
glass of our amazing world. It's deceiving, it's incredible and it's indelible;
what we experience.
And like a chef, we do not miss to garnish our lives with the right amount
of spicy fights, crispiness of teasing, sweetness of gifts and beauty of our
togetherness; as the Almighty would do with his special preparations! As
we believe, that special moments are still in the making.

(Kritika and Ashish, are both alumni of 2010 batch of B. Tech. They believed in
themselves and joined in wedlock on 29th Jan 2012 conceiving a life full of bliss
and joy. We extend our best wishes to the beautiful couple for a happy and
prosperous conjugal life ahead.)
The other day, on a warm afternoon in winters, I was strolling on the terrace.
Off my brain; my expressions slack enough to perceive that I had attained
Moksha (Complete Salvation) and the world was immaterial to me. Two men
were gossiping their way out to repair the summer coolers. We are always
ahead of time, aren't we? They were scratching the outer walls of the cooler
with a piece of steel. The cooler, obviously was fixed, and their hands were
twisting and tangling at different angles to scratch off the paint completely.
The noise was irritating and moments later, out of my capacity to hear the
rattle, in haste, I rolled down the stairs.
The winters culminate to pave way for springs, and consequently, the
summers arrive. Today, I was a little perplexed, while I was fixing the coolers,
the terrace incident (of that afternoon) reflected upon my mind. A completely
different perception unearthed. The 'cooler' was an illusion to the life that we
live. The efforts of the two men personalise human efforts in real life. The sheet
of steel took form of the faculties and facilities we have, to achieve our goal.
The noise punned to be the devilish distractions the mind breeds when set in
the fray. Me, myself, was an idle person lurking around foolishly. Indeed the
situations we are stuck in make us realise the importance of things that happen
around us.
Don't Change, phrased a friend of mine when I bid adieu to my boarding
school. I approached his advice with my confined mind-set. And the result of it
was that I lived the successive two years with the state of my mind parallel to
that at boarding school. And when things start off in wrong direction, with
non-uniform magnitude, failure is destined, isn't it?
This in fact is diversity of change. What we perceive may turn out to be our
deception. My friend meant not to lose my morals and character in the process
of maturing and facing unseen and unheard adages of life. He didn't mean that
I put a full stop to developing my state of mind.
Change is the reason we are able to celebrate life. It is the reason we are able to

It had been three long years that we had parted our ways. Three years is a long
time, long enough to forget old memories and make plenty of new ones. Yet,
somehow deep inside me, I felt that we were still together, that out love was
still alive deep down and that all those miles hadn't changed our relation even
a bit. So when I learnt that she was back and that she wanted to see me; I was
overwhelmed with joy but at the same time, was worried as to what new
changes had she gone through. Was she the same person that I had been with
three years ago? Did she still smile as radiantly as before or has she changed?
Well, deciding not to think about such things I agreed to meet her and give my
best to make it the best night of our lives.
We were supposed to meet at the beach in the evening but I was so restless that
I went early and began all my preparations. I wanted it to be perfect. I wanted
to set a romantic mood so I chose to light candles and sit under the open sky,
gazing at the stars above and holding my love in my arms. And as if the world
knew what I wanted and was supporting me in every way possible, for the
moon was shining brightly, the sky all clear and the stars twinkling their
brightest, quietly winking at me, the wind blowing ever so softly and the sea
splashing in order to show her support.
I was almost lost in the romantic ambience when I saw her walking slowly
towards me. Never had she looked so beautiful, never had her complexion
been so brilliant that even the glow of the candles looked dim. Her hair was so
soft that I wanted to bury myself in it. The moment she stood in front of me, she
took my breath away. My love had indeed changed, but for better. She was
beautiful, way more than before. Now I knew why my love hadn't died, but
instead grown strong. As she came near, my heart starting racing and when
she smiled at me I couldn't utter a word, my throat was dry as if I had
swallowed a whole roll of cotton. But we didn't need any verbal
communication for she understood my silence and in response to it a tear
rolled down her left cheek.
The tear was a pure gem to me, more precious than any diamond and I couldn't
let it go. How could I let my treasure go waste? So I carefully captured it in my
finger and it sparkled like a diamond. She caught my hand and gave me a
12
13
million dollar smile. Her touch was so warm that I felt as if I was floating. I took
both her hands in mine and interlocked my fingers so that there would be no
space in between us. I wanted to keep her to myself and never let go.
As we were holding hands I turned my gaze towards her and was drinking in
her beauty. Yes there were changes, but all for the better. She had grown her
hair. It was slowing reaching her shoulders where earlier it was cropped
around her ears. Her face looked slightly thin and her body, slimmer and
curvier than before. Her curves were enhanced by the red silk dress she wore
and the black bow at the waist only enhanced her beauty more. She was simply
irresistible. Three years ago, I had parted ways with a girl and now I was
holding hands with a woman, totally unaware of her charms.
She had been an innocent girl who was careless and yet, she was a magician
who had me under her spell. I felt like the luckiest man in the world who had
his angel right in front of him and now, for once he knew what heaven felt like.
I must have been staring at her for a long time for her little tap at my shoulder
brought me back to reality. And there was my angel, smiling at me, her eyes
beautiful eyes! Who cared what the stars looked like, for her eyes were brighter
than any other star in the sky, and her hair, even the darkest hour of the night
wasn't as dark as her hair could be.
I was completely enticed by her beauty and even without realizing, I found my
hands caressing her skin. So soft was it. She must have felt the same intensity of
love as I did, for she did not stop me but instead took my hand and held it
between her arms. So warm! was the first words she'd spoken all evening.
She rested her head in my arm and closed her eyes. To this, I found my finger
tracing an unknown picture on her face, her forehead, her eyes, her cute nose,
her soft cheeks and her lips. I had long forgotten what it was like to kiss those
lips. Though I had kissed her before, today it felt as if I had never done so. As of
now I felt that her lips longed to be kissed. Her lips, full and pink, reminded me
of rose petals waiting to unfold and as if pulled by some unknown force I bent
my head and placed a soft kiss on those lips.
It broke her dream and she looked at me with a strange expression in her eyes.
For a brief moment I was afraid, thoughts were racing in my mind. Did I
offend her?, Maybe she doesn't see me that way! And what not! But before I
could think or say something, she wrapped her arms around me and buried
her face in my chest. Never had I felt such passion before and never had I

him that snowman is still his best friend, he has fought with him, hurt him,
hugged him. He still wonders how these stars shine, still tries to count them,
and still sleeps waiting for angels. To him those cricket matches are still larger
than life; those toy figures still super heroes.
What tomorrow might hold is but a question, what today has, time will tell,
but what yesterday was, is too beautiful to put in words, too precious to reveal,
too touching to explain. Life seems to have been running out but this ever has
been enjoyable, adventurous and very memorable. Maybe tomorrow I drive
expensive cars, live in mansions, talk to big people but, to me, that little boy
will still be smiling, still crying; waiting for his dreams to come true. And still
waiting for angels.

My mind is full of memories, moments still printed in the sands of time. How I
would jump on my father's lap, pinch my brother and run away, how I would
hide myself behind chains and curtains, eager to hear mom's desperate calls
looking for me. Time brings back moments when I shot my first goal, took my
first wicket, and topped the class. It brings back the glow, pride and smiles on
my parent's faces.
How quickly these years have passed, how quickly I have a beard on my face,
how quickly that little boy who wanted to be great in life now stands on the
verge of becoming an independent man, how quickly have all these years
rolled! There is still a child inside me, a little boy who still smiles at nothing,
who wants to be loved, wants someone to hold him, wants someone to hug
him tight on those dark stormy nights; there is a little boy for whom those cars
are as dear as they were, in which he still drives, in which he still dreams. To

Who Is She?
In this whole world, there are total of 7 billion people. Some are happy, some
are sad, some regret the things they have done and some just don't care.
Quoted from a famous movie Forrest Gump, " Life is like a box of chocolate,
you never know what you're gonna get ", it defines life in its own way. No one
knows what is going to happen next. But for a better next, one needs to act
wisely. Good decision is a must. If the past went wrong there will still be time
to amend it but if present goes bad, there won't be time to say "My bad". So,
change is a must to have better future.
It was raining at the dusk and he was with his beloved. He leaned forward and
looked at the clouds and wondered where did the stars go, despite the fact that
he knew the answer. He even thought about the cosmos and wondered again
with the ounce of lameness which he had inside him. His face was getting wet
by the rain coming straight from above. Then as usual he kissed her. He felt
really good at that time when she was with him. It was really hard for him to
leave her but when she was with him, he always felt good. She was like a nice
outfit to him that he thought suits him, but it didn't. Satisfaction was in his
hands when he held her. Every time he kissed her, he felt like he was out of
pressure or was relieved from all the tensions. But he knew it was very lame.
He always told himself, "Why did I start it?" He heard different opinions from
others. Some said, "Don't carry on with her'' and some straightly said "Leave
her". He knew all about this but couldn't quit seeing her. She was like an
antacid to his stomach and he was like a troubled patient suffering with
problems. His friends, family and relatives knew about them. But they didn't
know about the agony he was going to suffer without her. She was half way in
his hand and this time rain drops were making her wet. He looked at her and
laughed at himself on his foolishness. Then he realized that there's no
advantage of it. The more he was into her, it became more difficult for him to
leave her. His own parents didn't believe him in every step he took. He was
18
losing weight. He didn't have the control over his own capital. And more
importantly, he would not be having the same health as he was supposed to
have after 10-20 years. There were also a lot of other people around him who
encouraged him not to leave her. If sometimes he denied that fact of not being
with her then the applause of laugh would ring around his ears. But now, he
didn't care about these words. It was the first time a meteor struck on his head.
It was the change inside him. The maturity or may be the subconscious came
out to his conscious mind, it was his own and not others' inspiration. Then he
pulls her out to the rain and she blows off and he promises himself with the
determination of never kissing her again.
It's now two months that he is out of her touch and he is happier than he used
to be. She came several times in his sight but his determination led her away. It
was very difficult for him at the beginning but now he is out of the pain.
Temptations of having a relationship with her came several times knocking at
the door but he kept her at bay. Even now she comes in his mind like an angel
but after these three years, he has known that she was not an angel but rather a
devil that will make him burn. She came in different varieties. Every kind of
her gave him different taste and power of satisfaction, nevertheless, they were
all indistinguishable. Although, he was never going to forget her until his last
breath, that which came as a curse and went as a boon in his life was indeed a
cigarette.

for me. She has been the source of greatest inspiration for me. For me, my
mother is more beautiful than a flower, more precious than a gem, more close
to my heart than my heartbeat. I can never repay her love and sacrifice even if I
serve her all my life.
I just wish to fulfill all her dreams and bring so much happiness in her life that
no sorrow can ever creep in.

After having spent one complete year in college, away from home, family and
more importantly my mother, I now realize what comfort and love is missing
in my life today. Back home, I was the pampered girl; the little girl of my mom,
free of all responsibilities and worries. I always knew that no matter what,
whenever I turned back my mom would always be there for me. Those
beautiful eyes full of love and care would always be watching my every step.
I, now remember the times when I used to throw tantrums, get angry and even
refused to have my meal and then she would come to me and pamper me,
adore me and then feed me with her own hands. Whenever there rose the
slightest of problems, I would simply rush to her and blabber it out. And she,
no matter how non-sensical it was, would be very patiently listening to me and
gave me the world's best solution. In the morning, when I would be getting
late for school and dressing up, she would be combing my hair. While I would
be hastily packing my bags, she would be running after me with tiffin box.
Whenever I used to study till the late hours of night, she would sit beside me
and despite being so tired after all the household chores, would still be oiling
my hair or massaging my forehead.
I wonder how god has made her. She has so much of love to shower upon me
and yet expects the least from me. All she wants is that her daughter should
remain as close to her as possible. Whenever I have to leave home for college, I
feel heart-broken to see those moist eyes, trying their best to hold back their
tears, that fading smile on her lips, trying to tell me not to worry about her and
that loving look telling me to take the best care of myself.
She is indeed an epitome of sacrifice, love and nothing less than god himself

Induction
Another fine Monday to ruin another stage of my perfectly ordered
disoriented life, just to make it more miserable was a Physics lecture trying to
clear the never diminishing doubts about the abomination started by (with all
due respect) Sir Isaac Newton. Induction was the topic to be taught,
although abduction seemed apt (Sorry! For the lame word play). But
abduction it was, as you see, science defines the term induction as a
phenomenon in which a body induces its properties into another inanimate
object when brought close to it. After spilling out all of the scientific mumbojumbo from his monotonous mind the professor posed a question, Can
anyone tell me about its practical application? and as you might not know,
I'm not the most sought after person that a teacher looks for. But that day I
wished the professor would ring me up for answering the question, which he
unfortunately did and this was my answer:
Induction has a variety of applications in our daily life and the example of
pure induction is standing before you. In fact, the whole batch sitting in this
room is an example. We have reached a stage where we have lost our minds
and our trail of creativity, we are being forced to induce these thoughts into our
minds and mindlessly spill out this information which we inhale from these
books without giving them any consideration. The only reason we people
have taken up engineering as a course is not because we wanted to, but we
were brainwashed by this society which lives and breeds near us and has
given us an induced thought that it is right!
we need is simply some moola and a way to survive in this greed mongering
world. The sense of being a patriotic person is all lost and replaced by the term
I like to call 'induced patriotism' which can be only seen on those national
holidays and on those supposedly nationalistic cricket matches.
Scratching his head in dilemma, the old man asked me Young lad why do you
have these disturbing thoughts in your mind?
As a sad state of our politics and this ruptured civilization even I tried to be a
rebel without a cause, tried to think outside the box. However every time I
tried to make a point my mind always made me conscious about my puny role
in this whole significant world and made me feel more insignificant.
The puzzled man asked What do you mean by all this?
Sir, for what I stated before, my irrelevant existence has also been a part of this
never ending culture that you scientists like to call induction.
And the class continued with an awkward silence.

perform, they achieve and then they sign off, be it an engineer or an army
officer. The point to note is that, there is a specific age to retire in every
profession and there is a good reason behind it as well. Even life as a whole
makes you retire from the world after a certain age. How many people
realistically get to see their great grandchildren?
That is probably the issue which has given the blues to Indian cricket of late.
Sachin and Co. are teammates now, with their cricket great grandchildren and
it seems to be making up for whatever good they had done for Indian cricket
over the years, in a negative way. India was badly mauled in England and
Australia within 6 months, and guess who did not score runs? Well, actually
nobody did.
But the fact of the matter is that, it really has become high time for another
quantum jump in Indian cricket. It's unfortunate that this has become
inevitable considering the fact that Indian cricket itself is responsible for this
sad state of affairs. The selectors failed to exercise their option of
experimentation in test cricket.
Now, a popular counter argument is that the current batch of youngsters in
Indian cricketers has not shown capability in test cricket. Indeed, the
exponential rate at which cricket has been speeding up, has resulted in many
T20 specialists. But even a rope can cut through a rock if persevered with. In
other words, with the increased skill sets of modern day cricketers, with test,
ODI and T20 abilities, it would logically take more time to sharpen any one out
of the plethora. Don't believe me? A Virat Kohli, when given 7 tests on the trot,
finally ended up being the lone centurion from team India. Do we really need
to assert, primary school lessons like 'if you don't try you'll never know', for
the selectors. I hope they are aware of the powers bestowed to them.
that, in ODIs he has a pack of players who actually follow his orders.
Between all my condemnations for these demigods of Indian cricket, I bow
down to their achievements and feel ashamed to witness a point in time where
external minds are asking them to leave. I hope they do get a glorious
retirement, unlike Dravid, if that is what they are craving for. And as far as the
question of the abilities of the current young lot is concerned, I think the
Kohlis, the Rohits and the Rainas will feature in several such articles 10 years
down the line, hopefully devoid of the critical half. For the next couple of
years, we just have to be patient and allow the transients to pass and wait for
the heartening stable state.

So, it's high time, India needs a completely new middle order (with the varnish
smell still emanating), in test cricket. Rahul Dravid has always been an altruist
and he simply reiterated that by hanging his boots. But it's a little astonishing
to see the other two still not getting the we don't belong to this generation
feeling. How many adults have you seen playing hide-n-seek with the kids in a
party? Even from a captain's point of view, in an imaginary situation when
one is with family, can you imagine giving orders to your grandpa. Dhoni
probably deserves some pat on the back for handling the criticism well, and
not retaliating to the tag of being an ODI captain only, considering the fact

"Change" is bound to one's life. Some accept it positively, while others do not.

moment when no matter how hard you try, you cannot set things in the right
place. Your desperate efforts go in vain. Then what options will you have other
than to accept it, when you find it striking at your door. Maybe you are not
lucky enough to get another chance.
This is a story of a terrorist whose life had such a strike of change when he was
no more regarded mortal. Death marked the sense of repent in his soul. But it
was too late to think of.
He woke up from deep slumber. His joints were paining, his body aching and
even a mere movement rendered him immense pain. He raised his eyes to
notice things around him. Everything was dark and dull. Death seemed to
have embraced the whole land. This silence filled him with insecurity and fear.
Slowly and slowly he was losing command over his senses. Situation
demanded immediate action or that shall mark his end."Move! he called out
to his legs as soon as his lips became free from the spell conjured on them. But
they didn't even stir a bit and openly defied his orders. It was not at all
acceptable to him. No mortal could have gone against his will. He went on
killing Salema's husband, as he thought she was the love of his life. But she
being a Mughal descendant, jumped off the roof on the day of their Nikah. A
person who didn't give into his orders had no right to continue his life. How on
the face of earth his own limbs ignored him!
It was getting dark. His eyes were losing functionality. With every fleeting
second his body stiffened. He was in a desperate need to break open the veil
around him. Suddenly, a bright light blinded him. He saw a yellow pool of
light radiating from a distant source. He didn't know what it was. Neither did
he know how he landed up in that dark corner of the world. All he
remembered was, the last time he encountered light was, when he was
bleeding amidst the chaos around. There were gun shots and explosions all
around him. Last words a mortal called out to him were-"Run Ali! We won't let
98
It was funny to see how timidly a man whose hands didn't even shake when
the bullet fired by him wounded his father's soul, gave in to the orders of his
followers in difficult times. He was Ali. He considered himself to be the chosen
one who shall lead the strayed humanity back to the path of righteousness. He
taught his followers- "One, who shall intervene in the will of Allah, shall find
his soul longing for bliss in hell forever. Little did he know then that, this was
what would define his life later.
The light source was his only hope in that gloomy area. Maybe there was a
human habitation on the other side that could help him out of there. "If Allah
has put me to test, I won't let his trust down", he thought directing all his
energy towards that sparkling source. He was not able to feel his legs. But he
had no time to worry about it. He started crawling towards it pushing the
earth underneath with both of his hands.
My entire life is spent in God's service", he said to himself. "Super powers need
to be shown their real place. Muslims were never allowed to reach their true
potential. If guided they can rule the world. They know it. So, posed
adversaries in our path. It was necessary to declare Jihad. Time and again, my
actions have led to sufferings and pain. But every reform demands bloodshed.
Sufferings chastise a soul. Unless and until his soul is free of dirt and malice,
how can a person even dare to face God at the time of Qayamat!"
His contemplation was broken by a loud cry. It shook him. Was there another
wretched soul demanding rescue, he wondered. Then cumulative noise filled
the space. He looked around shocked and scared then noticed certain
distorted man-like structures, a shadow lacking all vital organs. He looked
closely. Suddenly, the shrieks stopped. Silence again enveloped the place. Ali
tried to figure out what was more soothing- silence that mysteriously held
secrets in her womb, which he sensed were not welcomed by him, or the scary
shrieks that gave him satisfaction that he was not the only one there. The
shadows turned towards him and one of them remarked: "Another cursed
one!" Ali rushed from there as quick as he could.
"My heart has faced every danger and adversity with utmost courage and
determination. Many noble ladies gave me the custody of their children when
99

it was right time to train them and render their service to mankind. Some
others who denied my demand, their sons had to be snatched brutally. They
called my activities baseless and that I was defying God's wishes. They called
me the one with a heart of stone who ruined a child's innocent smile. He
guided his hands to his bosom and said, Petty ladies said you are made of
stone. O heart! Blood still flows in you, isn't it?" His laugh was cut short. There
was no answer. Nothing pulsated under his cold hand. Panic seized him. "The
breath is gone! I won't stay here for another moment."
Finally, Ali reached the source of radiating light. It was not a door but a mirror.
A mirror, from a long forgotten dream. Suddenly, he realized he was never
unknown to that place. He had been there before. It was the time when
everything was lively and happy, the time when he was in high spirits.
Miraculously a mirror appeared in front of him. But to his surprise, he couldn't
see himself in it. "I am the Mirror of introspection", came a dignified voice. "I
see the world through eyes of the beholder. I'm not like the others that show
you the beauty of accessory your soul wears, but your vices. I shall let you
introspect yourself on the grounds of the deeds you have done in your entire
life."
"Then why am I not able to see my self? Ali blurted.
"Because your soul is pure my son, every soul that comes to God gets
chastened by the five universal elements-fire, water, air, sky and earth. The
purified soul goes on earth to complete another cycle. Every action of his, on
earth is taken under consideration and it goes on endorsing impurities upon
itself. I shall show you that inner aspect of yours."
"What happens to them whose souls fail to get chastened?"
Before he could get an answer, he felt a sudden thrust on his back. He led out a
cry and found himself in the hands of a stranger who shouted,"Congrats, it's a
boy". He took him to his mother who securely held him and imprinted a warm
kiss on his forehead.
No more could he feel that warmth and comfort. It was a long time since his
mother had died. He was alone over there. Everything was cold and strange,
except for that mirror. The bright light brought with itself the realization that

As I walked back towards my home in the evening, I passed a graphic board
reading "Ragging is a menace." I wondered if it really was.
Part I - The Teacher
It was the alarm clock that woke me up. It's a sad way to wake up really,
especially when the things to look forward to are a cold bath, an undercooked
breakfast and an unreasonable bickering. Earlier at least, I had a class full of
enthusiastic and disciplined learners who'd patiently listen with the belief that
the person in front of them was someone demanding attention. Now, there
was just a bunch of ill-dressed and ill-mannered brats. But as they say, you
gotta do what you gotta do.
Thirty minutes later, I was on my way to the college. As I entered through the
gate, the guard saluted me. Unfortunately the last sign of respect I'd probably
get in the day.
Until a few years earlier, I would walk towards the staff room, as slowly as I
could without it being obvious, trying to run into as many students as I could.
By the time I'd reach my office, I'd be swelling with pride, happy at the number
of people appreciating my efforts towards them. These days, even though I
had an office to walk to, the only remark I'd get would be a 'nickname'
muttered under a breath, a name that my dignity not even dare repeat to
anyone. The scene in the classroom was no different, with the number of paper
planes flying far exceeding the questions. Over the years, even I'd lost much
interest in teaching these kids. They couldn't expect me to give them all I had
with the the treatment I got from them.
Off the record, I seriously think that a lesson in discipline is necessary to instill
in them a little fear, if not respect for the seniors. Now I don't wish to go into the
classic debate of 'spare the rod, spoil the child.' I mean these aren't even
children anymore. But since the only people who could teach them the ways of
the adult world have been reduced to sadists, I can't imagine how they're
gonna face the world when their time comes. The world doesn't have an antiragging law. And ragged or not, it'll treat them the way it treats the rest.
Cruelly.
104
I thought of the one kid who'd gone as far as hanging himself because of the
unspeakable atrocities he'd been forced to bear.
I thought of the disrespect that, since this 'menace' had been banned, I'd been
forced to bear. But if I had to choose between ending a human life and facing
humiliation from the very people I was trying to help, I guess I'd pick
humiliation any day.

I thought of the 'humiliation' I would have faced, had 'cruel sadists' been let

At least after college that day, I had something to look forward to. The alumni
meet was scheduled for the evening and I'd heard that with it came the
promise of something rare.
Good food!
For free!
...
The food was as promised. But there was something else that evening that
whet my appetite even more.
Bonhomie.
I met a lot of the alumni and heard from them personal anecdotes that I
couldn't even imagine happening in our college. What really hit me was the
fact (something that I found out later) that not all of them belonged to the same
batch. At that time, they were all brothers, laughing with and at each other.
Of course, the drinks they'd had would have helped them enhance their
camaraderie a bit, but they were equally friendly in the sober morning that
followed.
They chatted about their times in college, telling us about the culture we were
supposed to inherit, a culture that was losing its essence not due to the lack of
carriers, but because the carriers had been barred from meeting the recipients.
I thought of everything I could have done in the past few months, had I got the
right advice from the right people.

The multi-problem scenario in every sphere is looming large on the Indian
horizon and to add we can all see the fast deterioration and crumbling down of
the age old traditions of India, which are blatantly giving way to a lop-sided
Westernisation of the Indian. A very prevalent proverb in our country Angrez
chalegaye par Angrezi chod gaye describes the current situation here quite
correctly.
This Westernisation, takes birth in the homes, where children are taught,
unwittingly perhaps, all that is Western, without an iota of what can be truly
called Indian. It is here that the parents can play a vital role in seeing that
children aren't subjected to Western influences early on in their lives. It is for us
to see that, the children must be imbibed in the culture and traditions that are
Indian. Nowadays people are looked down upon if they are still clinging to
their roots or they still follow the age-old traditions inherited from their
parents. They are not considered to be modern at all. This has led to the
popular misconception that 'Modernisation' and 'Westernisation' are
synonyms.

Ritwik Ghatak and Bimal Roy and all these 'magicians' laid the foundation of a
new 'Parallel Cinema' movement, mainly led by Bengali cinema in the initial
years.
The Indian 'Masala' film - a slang used for commercial films with song, dance,
romance etc. was also making a mark through the much acclaimed work of
Guru Dutt, Raj Kapoor, Mehboob Khan and K. Asif to name a few.
While filmmakers such as Shyam Benegal were leading the way in Parallel
Cinema throughout the 1970s, this period also saw the rise of commercial
cinema in the form of enduring films such as Sholay, Jai SantoshiMaa and
Deewar to name a few.
1980's and the 1990's saw the numerous commercial blockbusters in the form
of films such as EkDuujeKeLiye (1981) Mr India (1987), Qayamat Se QayamatTak
(1988), Tezaab (1988), Chandni (1989), Maine PyarKiya (1989), Baazigar (1993),
Darr (1993), DilwaleDulhaniya Le Jayenge (1995) and KuchKuchHotaHai (1998).
Another significant development in this period was the complete dominace of
the 'Khan triumvirate' - Shahrukh, Aamir and Salman.
After the new millennium started, the viewers of Indian movies got more

Some might wonder what 'mercy killing' has to do with 'honour killing'.
Apparently, they have no connection (barring a common term 'killing'), but
deep down the layer their roots are abstrusely interwoven.
It's ironic that some implore death (patients suffering from life-long ailments),
but their yen is shattered .They are denied of it asserting that ending one's life
(a precious gift) is a criminal offence. Some seek for a blissful life, eventually
death is bestowed upon them.
India, a country with the largest democracy and a strong contender for world's
biggest economy, to present a synopsis, a very powerful and robust nation, yet
fragile in its laws, is still ambiguous on the two contentious issues. Here,
honour killing is a knack offered now and then, and on the contrary,
perpetrators are highly admired. Each time you switch over to a news channel,
the screen flashes with the cases of deaths in the name of honour killing. Some
believe that this is limited to the hinterlands. Let it be made very clear that even
the rapidly thriving metros are plagued with this. See my nation's austeritywhich prohibits euthanasia and prosecutes its aide.
This is an article to accentuate the hapless lives of many, who share my native
land with equal integrity. Why is the freedom to die being denied from the
same who have the right to live their lives merrily? It really seems egregious
when owing to the country's paralysed system, one is forestalled from
terminating one's onerous life. Just one more fundamental law might bring
smiles on the faces of the multitude.
When life has become futile, meaningless, unendurable-it must be allowed to

This is a contentious topic which has confronted our government several times
but to no avail. They assert that willfully terminating a life is a sinister deed.
But they need to rethink Is it really that wicked? I wish to enclose some facts
to give grounds to my assertion and make it more esoteric.

beneficial not just for the sufferer but also for the people around. The relatives
are spared of the persistent agony and trauma owing to the terminal condition
of the victim. The patient's viscera can be donated to save some lives. Jesus
said, Do unto others as you would have them to you. The preceding maxim
itself proves the point.
Now, let me sidetrack a bit and limelight honour killing. Hold on a second!
Honour! How ludicrous it seems? Indian judiciary seems to sympathise with
the parents who perpetrate this honourable deed-giving their beloved
children a peaceful and eternal rest (death). No offences against anyone, but I
see honour killing as a barbaric and brutal murder by bigoted persons, with
feudal minds. Although, the legislature has made several laws to prosecute
the lawbreakers, but it is rarely heard, a transgressor been handcuffed.The
dead cannot cry out for justice; it is the duty of the living to do so for them.
India eulogizes of its fundamental rights. Asserting for freedom to die is futile,
when the inhabitants cannot exercise their right to live, candidly. A clarion call
pleads for some changes in the legislation as it has turned archaic and is
colliding with the realities of new India. 'Anachronism' is an apt word for our
few laws which still stand with their heads ostentatiously high. The scenario
should have been a little different-the one who craves for death should be
assuaged (in case of mercy killing) and the act should be given due respect
under law. On the contrary, perpetrators of so called killing for honour should
be meted with a stringent punishment and be deprived of any impunity. Only
then will our laws and legislations be consigned of true reverence.
The need of the time is just not to bring amendments in the laws but also to
bring difference in the perception. The very mindsets of the people need to be
changed and of course that is not the government's duty. It is every
individual's responsibility to stand against the inappropriate laws. A single
step has the potential to bring revolution but that needs an initiation and time
waits for that glorious moment.
Give us power not to become insensitive and silent spectators to social, moral
and political evils and bestow us necessary wrath to fight these evils.
The quirkiness of Fashion is thus: Though it is time, it moves with the times.

is concerned.
People have obligated to re-discover their own wardrobe that was obscurely

Though surfaces are not being compromised with much in terms of

nowhere to hide and no one to go to. You are then left alone.
that little ray of hope that will pull you off the edge of the cliff.
So, for all those hopeless hearts don't just learn to adapt, enjoy the change. It is
your choosing that makes your life more intricate, thus, choose wisely. Expect
more from yourself than from others because expectation from others hurts
while expectation from your inner-self brings inspiration.

Then from this hopeless world arise cold, inhuman hearts. No one has time for
anyone. The world becomes conceited and you feel yourself becoming
insignificant in its vastness. Your expectations fall and do have no idea where
you stand or what you mean. Happiness is lost giving rise to frustration and
depression. You find your capabilities slowing being driven out of you, sucked
in by this big void of competition, you cannot seem to avoid wherever you go.
Selfishness kicks in, you only go to someone when you want something from
them but you won't be getting anything from them because after all we all live
in the same competitive world.
The most violent of crimes and suicide arise from this atmosphere. In this
situation the only thing that will get you through is a tiny ray of hope,
expectation and inspiration. You need to have something to look forward to.
The importance of encouragement in dire situations and that one feeling of I
CAN DO IT that changes your whole perception of things making bad
situations tolerable, is incomparable. Confidence in yourself and past
accomplishment will get you far and through this mess because time is but a
concept. Times rarely get better, it is you that change. You learn to adapt and
accept things as they are making the world seem a more livable place.
In life's journey there will always be countless people trying to suck the
happiness and confidence out of you so that they may have the upper
hand. Once faith lessens, it is very difficult to bring it back. So, before you lose
all faith keep giving yourself that extra push you need to succeed. Hold on to

Desire-less Karma
kece&Ces JeeefOekeejmles cee heues<eg keoeeve ~
You have a right to perform your prescribed duty, but you are not entitled to
the fruits of actions. Many consider this to be the central idea of the holy Gita.
I, on the other hand, was never able to understand the meaning and
significance of this verse.
For me action without an expectation from it, was not possible. I believed
human beings to be purposeful creatures. Rational decision making which
heavily emphasizes on outcomes is being preached by people all around. I
could not comprehend the logic behind Shree Krishna asking Arjuna not to
expect any result from one's action. That too, when the war was about to begin!
Why would someone work without hoping to get something out of it? A
doctor helps his patient because it gives him happiness and not to forget,
money. A yogi renounces everything in hope of achieving the blissful state.
Even a mother's unconditional love is filled with expectation of seeing her
child happy. Every action has some expectation. This was what I thought until
recently.
Sometime back, I learned a lesson. The teacher was Nature in the form of a
flowing river. I was in Himachal travelling in the foothills of Mount Kailash,
when I noticed something that made a deep impact upon me. A river named
Budhil was flowing through a deep gorge, then over small stones and
enveloping larger ones. The river was flowing fast as if it was getting late to
keep an appointment.
I realized that the river did not care where it passed through, as long as it was
flowing. How powerful it seemed, the idea of flowing. Whatever came on its
way, it somehow overcame that and continued its flow. It seemed indifferent to
large rocks, piles of waste, mud and everything else imaginable. Flowing
seemed to be the only thing it cared. Even a dam, although ceased the flow,
could never hinder its intent.
The river continued to flow despite being unaware of where it is to end. The
river was destined to the Indian Ocean, as geography explained that to me.
130
The river, however, was oblivious of that fact. Despite this, it continued to flow.
The river acted without its destination known, and yet was persistent and
devoted in its action. It seemed to follow each of Shree Krishna's word! Or was
it that Shree Krishna created rivers based upon his philosophy?
Science may argue that the flow is a result of gravity, a natural force. I accept
this fact. And because of this, the river seems to be even more irrational.
Gravity, a force, causes another natural entity to act even where uncertainty
looms in front of it. The force causes the river to flow without knowing its
destination. The fact that it flows shows complete trust in something that the
river cannot understand (I am sure the river has no idea of gravity; only its
sensation). Had the river been a human being, would it flow ceaselessly?
Would it flow when it encountered obstacles? Would it flow trusting a force it
cannot comprehend? As a rational human being myself, I answer in the
negative to all the questions.
What would happen if the river had some expectations out of its flow?
Suppose a river wanted to end up in Naini lake rather than ending in the Bay of
Bengal. The river would have to go uphill, defying the laws of nature. Not just
that, in fact, more important than that, wouldn't the river be disappointed in
every hurdle it comes across when it is desperately trying to fulfill its cravings?
When the river had no desire, it flowed trusting in a force and thus wouldn't be
disappointed in the hurdles that came across. The hurdles would seem a part
of the plan of the greater, all-knowing, powerful force. But when it would act
based upon its desire, the hurdles would be the forces barring it from fulfilling
its wants. This deprivation would lead to at least a minor disappointment, if
not more. And let's face it; there will be many hurdles in the way. The river
would have to overcome those hurdles anyway and continue to perform its
functions, but by trusting gravity and losing its desires, the river seemed to be
choosing a life free from all disappointments. The river, it seemed, was
'happy'.
Humans, on the other hand, despite being a part of that very same nature,
behave just the opposite. We crave for results and act according to our desires.
We consider ourselves the center of universe. Even our inactions have some
131
Decetle&
From Darkness To Light
rational values attached to it. And not surprisingly, we have a large proportion
of unhappy people filled with dissatisfaction.
The second noble truth in Buddhism mentions attachment to desires as the
cause of all sufferings. If not humans, the rivers seemed to agree to this. The
river accepts its destination with open arms, with indifference and it would
eventually end its journey, in peace, as a part of a bigger entity. The Islamic
belief From Allah we all come, to Allah we shall all return could not have a
more beautiful example than this. The river achieved eternal peace, its
ultimate goal, because it was free from desire. Seeing that river, it seemed to me
that a human would be better off without expectations, and that exact thought
clarified the significance of the line ''kece&Ces JeeefOekeejmles cee heues<eg keoeeve''~

Life's Too Short To Have Regrets!!
What if it burns me to ashes?
Then came an awakening, an answer,
What was I in the beginning;
A flame untouched!
To come back in thunder as lightning!
That room is inside me,
That sunshine is my spirit;
For that unholy darkness,
This world will take the credit.
I will break open,
Spreading my radiance;
This world will be my heaven,
That darkness, just another lesson.

Life, a four letter word, so small yet with an unfathomable meaning. Nobody
has ever been able to define this course, nobody knows what is the criteria to
score good marks in this subject, nobody teaches us life, but still we are
learning what life is as each day goes by. But the best part in learning this
subject is that it's just so unpredictable. We don't know what is going to
happen to us the next moment, whether we will become billionaires or
bankrupt, we don't even have a guarantee that we would survive on the face of
this earth. As the character Pharell in the movie 'Despicable Me' says, I am
having a bad, bad day if you take it personal though, that's ok, watch it is so fun
to see!
Life is about us and we should live it the way we want, why regret anything?
Regret is for the Holier than thou who want to thrive on the riches of the
heaven. We know we don't belong to that category; we are just a bunch of
positively wicked brats! I know while reading the previous line, you must
have busted into a wide smile thinking of all the diabolic acts you have done
and are proud that you went off the hook. Living life with regret will never
help you to enjoy it, neither now nor in your afterlife. Do you really want your
soul to wander from street to street watching others enjoy life the way you
wanted to enjoy?
Obviously, I am not motivating people to be wild hooligans hurting others
around them, but having fun that brings a grin on everyone's face is the best
blessing of all. Regret is for those who have memorized a rule book of life and
are too afraid to taste the adventures and experiences that life has to offer to
them. I think Dr. House Gregory from the famous drama series 'House M.D.' is
a good example who deals with medical science in his own unconventional
ways, without any regrets.
In fact, it is not our heart that regrets, it's our big fat brain. Our heart is an
innocent curious child, trying out everything that catches its attention and our
mind is the old school parent which has been hammered to think and act in a
way the society wishes. Our brain tries to weigh the pros and cons of
everything we do and like a parent tries to protect us. But when the heart has
listened to our brain, our heart says until you try the thing you can never know
the story of the other side of the coin. And, I agree with the heart. We don't need
134
135
Decetle&
Dreams
to regret, what we need to do is learn from those things that went little wrong.
You have to fall in love to know what the heck it is and what chemical
imbalances happen. Or to try new French dishes, just to know that you don't
like it though it left you with very little money to spend on anything else. Have
you ever been in a relationship? Loved someone but could never tell them?
Wanted to smash a friend's face but couldn't? Wanted to give a bitchy reply to
stupid bunch of losers but instead chose to remain calm? Wanted to try
drinking but were bound by ethics? Wished that you hadn't had watched a
movie, a night before the exams? As if those 2 hours will add great knowledge
to our 1800cc capacity brain. We regret not because we want to regret, we
regret because we have been taught to repent and seek forgiveness. But do you
think that is justified?
I think nobody should regret because life is actually too short, if we consider
the way we are living our lives. Sometimes we take a shortcut but that's ok
unless you really hurt somebody because then it's no more an innocent regret.
So, live the moment and don't get too much worked up as a quote rightly says,
Nothing lasts forever, so live it up, drink it down, laugh it off, take chance and
never have regrets, because at one point, everything you did was exactly what
you wanted!

A Diary Entry
Dear Diary,
That was a lovely warm pleasant day. Birds were tweeting around me singing
melodious cantillates in my ears. The sun was gleaming to its fullest giving a
positive sense of hope and joy to my citizens. They came out with fresh mind
and soul and with a zeal to take their nation one more step ahead in the journey
of development. There stood the symbol of prosperity and success of my
nation, the Twin towers. They came into being just in front of me. I don't
believe my eyes that these had been standing right in front of me since 28 long
years.
The day was as routine as any, in New York and Washington D.C. People in the
World Trade Center and Pentagon were working at personal computers,
typing letters or reading e-mail, talking on the phone or processing
paperwork. I was very happylooking at my citizens diving in their work pools
with enthusiasm.
Suddenly I saw two small airplanes hitting the North tower first which was
followed by the same attack on the South tower. Both the towers caught fire
and collapsed in front of me within an hour or two and I in spite of standing
just in front, could do nothing but just stare at my civilians screaming for help.
These were just two in number but brought millions of consequent attacks in
my heart. For the first time ever since I was gifted to this nation, my soul cried
out, but I was helpless. I could do nothing but just stand bearing a torch in my
hand .Today I doubted myself on being the icon of freedom for this nation. I
saw my people dying right here in front of my eyes.
The whole scene of my nation changed just in seconds. The eyes, which a few
moments ago boasted on their success and prosperity, were filled with a sense
of demise and insecurity. The positive bright sunny morning sky was filled
with smoky destructive cloud in which no one could ever breathe in.
A few words from the torch bearer,

Working Title
"It isn't quite finished yet", he muttered under his breath. Long years of
exhaustion and mental fatigue had worn out the adjectives and hacked away
all the florid expressions he was given to abusing in his youth. He had briefly
considered retirement once, but he couldn't bear to part with the wraiths of the
office and that typewriter of his, with its missing 'e' key. So he'd sighed and
drew back into the damp and mildew, consigning the smell of wet cement and
Claudia's suprasternal nodge to the demons of his mind. All that didn't matter
now, probably never did.
She was staring at him. He had to do something.
"Here, you can have this." And he pressed something into her hands. He could
tell from her expression that she was not expecting any tokens.
"What does it mean?" she asked. He had no answers, save the voices in his
head. Never mind. "It's a gift, from me, to you. Do you like it?"
She still stood looking at him. Then she quietly tucked a few curls of her golden
hair behind her ears, and whispered, "This isn't what I came looking for,
Moncherie. But it'll do."
"Good. So, next Wednesday, then."
And the meeting was over.
He had acquired a talent of sleepwalking, over the years. He stepped into the
cafes and jazz bars whenever he felt like it, but never stayed more than a
couple of hours. The cobbled roads were shifting under his feet even as he
walked over them. The smells of the city were changing, and there weren't any
pigeons to roost up in the gargoyles of Old Truffy's any longer. It wasn't the
sense of insecurity, no... he was still too young for the paranoia of senility to set
in. The reason was unclear, much like everything in his life. The only things he
was sure of nowadays were the strains of the rhythm guitar and the wails of
the harp.
He unloosened his tie, and leaned back, his chair tilted at a critical angle and
began musing on the weather. It was pretty unremarkable to begin with, but
he enjoyed worrying on the details, until he remembered the pretty women
who'd sit in judgement over him when he came to them eventually. Then his

chair gave way, and the germ of the thought was unceremoniously wrenched
from his skull and frozen in the space the head had previously occupied,
unthought. Curiously, in spite of the dull thud of his cranium on the wooden
floor, the first thought that occurred to him was the Zeno's paradox about the
half-distances. He managed a quick smile before the pain set-in like resonating
binaural beats.
Rambling was always his forte. He loved talking about places he'd visited,
sharing anecdotes, keeping people entertained. He was adored by his adorers
as a raconteur, one of the very best. He had an uncanny ability of judging the
mood du jour and would select a story appropriate for the occasion. But all this
was a long time ago. Now he reeled under the merciless onslaught of the blues
that made even a simple act like crossing the road seem impossible. He didn't
cry when his friends left him. His disjointed thoughts were too full of hubris
for him to take umbrage at the desertion.
He wished Claudia would call him sometime soon, wondering what was
keeping her. Well, I do owe her an apology, he thought. A big one. So he drew
out an A4 sized sheet of paper from his desk drawer and wrote,
"They tell me the rivers are sweet and the days golden, from whence they
come. That may or may not be true, but the decision was mine to make, and I
made the best one I could, given the situation. Please forgive me for all this; I
couldn't come up with anything better. There was so little time, and I had so
many things to do..."
He glanced at the top of his desk. There, in a folder containing a mess of
receipts, screenplays, spiral bound pages and et cetera, was a piece of paper.
On it was written the words Working Title in New Century Schoolbook, his
favourite typeface. He reflected that those two words described more
eloquently his life's work than the reams and reams of matter that was churned
out by the well-oiled machines that manufactured culture nowadays, and
smiled at the irony of it all.
