From Chief Editor's Desk


It gives me great pleasure to unveil this year's Srijan. The following pages are
testimony to the creative abilities of the budding technocrats and future
managers that pass through the hallowed portals of this prestigious institute
each year.
When the editorial team got together early this year, we decided to bring about
a fundamental shift in the way Srijan was crafted. The suggestions came thick
and fast, and after several rounds of deliberations, it was decided to have a
theme Change. An ancient Inuit proverb says that our lives can change with
every breath we take. The world has undergone changes of great magnitudes
with far-reaching effects not just in the areas of politics, but also in the areas of
socio-cultural paradigms and the way information is disseminated.
There have been many changes in MNNIT as well, most notably in the
infrastructure facilities. We've grown over the past decade to stand out among
the best technical institutes in the country. Our academic strength and intellect
has to be credited for all those changes that we can boast of. Thus I dedicate this
magazine to all those great minds who have believed and constantly supported
the idea of change.
Lastly, I would like to acknowledge the untiring efforts of the editorial board. I
also wish to thank our director Prof. P. Chakrabarti for being the guiding light
of this entire endeavor. I hope Srijan achieves greater heights in days to come.

From the Chief Student Editor's Desk


Three years as a member of the Editorial Board and one year as the Chief
Student Editor has been an enriching and inspiring experience. As Gandhiji
once said, You must be the change you want to see in the world. It is very easy
to criticise a product and find faults with it; but very difficult to better a
product and rectify the mistakes. This is the mission we set out with for Srijan
2012; to bring about the changes we had always desired. And very aptly we
decided on the theme for this year's edition as 'CHANGE'. For the first time the
Editorial Board decided to come out with a magazine which has all
contributions in conformance with a theme. Initially, there was quite a bit of
scepticism regarding whether we would get sufficient articles as we had, in a
way, limited the scope for the contributors. But I am proud to say that the
students of MNNIT proved their prowess and came up with brilliant articles,
short stories, poems on a wide array of topics.
We have divided the magazine into three sections. 'Les Affaires du Coeur' is a
collection of those articles that deal with that most fickle and hence, endearing
organ, the heart. 'TERRA FIRMA' is a delectable platter of those pieces that
strike a more intellectual note - contributions on changes in the political and
socio-economic spheres. 'Decetle& ' is a testimonial to the mystic, the metaphysical
and even the commonplace.
On behalf of the entire team, I would like to express my gratitude to the
Honourable Director Prof. P. Chakraborti for the keen interest he has shown in
the development of this magazine and the constant support and motivation he
has provided all along.
I am extremely thankful to our Chief Editor, Dr. Jyotsna Sinha for being a
constant source of guidance and encouragement throughout the process. A
special mention is due, to all the contributors with whose brilliance this
magazine dazzles.
Last, but not the least, I would like to thank all the members of the Editorial
Board of Srijan 2012 for their fantastic work, without whose untiring and
selfless efforts this project wouldn't have been possible.
Happy Reading!

A Letter To My Teacher On Success


Dear Ma'am,
Recognize me? Well, I am an unsuccessful student. It is difficult to
recognize as there are plenty of such students but successful students are
few and can easily be acknowledged.
A successful student has an identity, a name, fame and respect. So
everyone knows him. Even his teachers feel proud to be called his teachers
but I am an unsuccessful student, a failure. I don't have an identity, fame,
dignity or respect. I think I stand up as a symbol of failure, there is no hope,
only failure around me. I'm writing my story so that others can learn from
it.
I remember from the earliest years, I had an aim. An aim to be successful,
an aim to reach the highest rung of the ladder, an aim to be the best student.
I gained knowledge, knowledge to succeed, knowledge to rise high. Every
time I stood first in my class, congratulations, blessings and admiration
from elders, teachers, and friends used to fill my world.
I was brought up in an environment of confidence and self-control to make
me successful in future. I was praised for each of my success and was
inspired to do even better than my best. This success which brought me up,
slowly took over me. To put it bluntly, I became a machine. I had to stand
first in my class by any means. Being 'the best' became my ultimate goal. I
toiled and toiled, led by my blind ambition.
I developed an ego about being the best, the very best. This set in a mad
fever that overtook my life completely. While my family, friends and every
'good-willed' kith and kin continued to encourage me to excel and excel-to
what limit? One can't say! Well, I don't know if it was their good-will
pressure or my good luck that my scores always broke all the previous
academic records in school . I came to be 'recognized' by all and sundry. In
fact, my name gained the status of an 'icon' of success.
Like they say 'Life has curious surprises for those who live it to the utmost',
somehow so much of name, fame and recognition began to have a negative

Les Affaires du Coeur

An Ode To The Life Lived


impact on my psyche. I stopped thinking about my friends. I started to develop
a super ego against others. I enjoyed pulling their legs. I tried to degrade them
whenever I got a chance. I enjoyed bullying them, belittling them but came
away clean and gleaming as ever with a tag of a 'super-student', a 'superachiever'attached with me, as one above all evil.
Soon, due to my over-confidence and inflated ego, my happiness began to fade
away. Though, I always succeeded in coming first in class; in the race to achieve
peace, I was the last. I failed to work in peace. I was never contended with my
achievement. I was never satisfied with my work. Success became an obsession
for me. I wanted to leave others behind. Thus, I did leave them. I did become
successful but I was all alone. The people around me though respected me on
the outside, hated me from deep inside. I could feel their apathy for me.
Then came the ultimate high voltage shock of my life. Due to the loneliness and
depression of a genuine loner, I started losing on my inner strength. Eventually,
I became ill, mentally and physically. I started losing all my interest in my
work. Initially, this change in me was received with utter disbelief by those
who had always acknowledged me for my benchmark performance.
Gradually, I started getting warnings, punishments and threatening from my
well-meaning teachers and parents. I lost my self- esteem. I lost my identity.
Slowly and gradually, I lost all my boldness. I stood in the middle of life as a lost
warrior. I failed my exams and have been failing ever since. I am now bearing
the grief of being unsuccessful, a grief of being scolded. Rebuked and hated by
everyone around me.
Is it good to have a blind competition between friends? Aren't we supposed to
revere good feelings of helping and assisting each other, especially among our
peers? Why should success in competition lead to conceit? And finally, is it
right for a child to lose himself in the name of success? Is that what 'success'
really means?

What world what time is it?


Here somewhere I used to be,
Thinking all that was forever,
Imbecile I was, now I know.
There was no sense, there was no reason
With mud in the shoes, I used to play.
Breaking sweat on the little red cap,
Came back home to mama's lap.
The stars in the sky were so ablaze,
Adorning the domes of the huge air castle
In the dead of dark they would peep in my eyes,
And promise me they would not leave till sunrise.
The tales of the valiant warrior,
And those of that veracious merchant,
Told there was nothing integrity couldn't bend,
Cause all of them had a happy end.
The clouds guised as bunny and bear,
And water made noise as if giggling at a joke
Roses in my garden used to peek from my window,
Till they plucked it off before it could further grow.

Your unsuccessful student!

Human beings change and so does his judgement,
So much so as if change is the only constant.

Hunger Is The Best Sauce


As I grew, the beggar became bad,
And those who were loaded were claimed to be godly
The life which was admirable became strife,
Wisdom became money, and money became life.
And now here I am, don't know where,
It's hard to decide life's course
The sun still rises and the wind still blows,
But is anybody not full of remorse?
I had a world which was so small,
Yet it had a love of its own
They say I've grown up, but they say whatever,
The life I lost is lost forever!

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.

I Want You To Cry Tonight


As we soar up to become the GenX, it is imperative to change; from a narrow
lane to a broad boulevard; from seeing everything from one's perspective to
perceiving different outlooks of a thing. Choosing our thoughts rightfully
shall ultimately lead us to the eternal horizon, where we all expect to be.
Merely changing for the world's sake will not be enough. The change should
be within YOU.

Today I won't drop on your shoulders,


With the burden of indefinite hope
Neither would I crumple your eyes,
To another aura of sleepless dreams
I won't blabber philosophies today
Its destiny, move on, such is life, and so on
Nor will I sink in the sea of emotions,
To wet you in the showers of sympathy.
Instead, I want you to cry tonight
Yes do that, it's a begging plea
Reel off your pain, let tears tumble down your cheeks
Which might be aching, owing to fake smiles
Don't make your wounds rot
Don't pretend as if everything's okay when it's not; it hurts
Don't act wise, I recognize you're broken inside!
Let your mind accede to the failure
And lament aloud, very loud
Until it outbursts your agony
Don't be hesitant of the otherwise ruthless world
Nobody will see your breakdown, I promise
I'll shut my eyes too and turn my back if you desire
But please cry, cry for once
And let your heart be dried of sorrows
Your soul redeem of yesterday's residues!

Les Affaires du Coeur

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

Les Affaires du Coeur

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.

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

The Eternal Moment


rock 'n' roll in every phase of life, only if we accept it and work towards
reaping the benefits of a contented life, without purpose. The cooler of the life
will remain stationary. It is the angle at which we scratch and how we scratch
that makes the difference. More diverse our effort of removing the paints,
greater is the experience we have to share. Expecting the cooler to alter as we
wish, will ultimately disbalance it, and at that point, life shall become heavy
upon us and we shall miss celebrating an occasion called life.
We ought to use the discouragement due to death, sorrow of suffering, tremors
of infidelity, paradoxically to our advantage; lest they gulp us down to the last
morsel. Our work will be a tribute to the departed, joy to the sufferings we
endured, and contentment to infidelity.

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

Les Affaires du Coeur

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.

experienced such an overwhelming rush of emotions that were so intense. I


wrapped my arms around her as if letting her know that she is safe here in my
arms from this harsh world and its brutalities. Also, I was letting her know
that, no matter what changes the world went through, my love for her would
never change and that even time couldn't take it away from us.
It was my promise to her. She hugged me tighter as if saying yes. For what
seemed like eternity, I held her in my arms, our silence broken only by the
splashing of the waves. We were transported to another world, where she felt
safe in my embrace, and I was lost in her fragrance as I buried my face in her
hair. I was still lost, when she loosened her grip and looked up to see my face.
Her eyes were shimmering with tears and I couldn't understand what brought
in the sudden change. Only when she kissed my cheek to wipe away my tears,
did I realize that I had been crying, crying out of pure joy. I hadn't realized that
I was capable of such emotions.
Ever so slowly, she rested her head on my shoulders and locked her fingers in
mine. Then she looked up at me and smiled. My heart melted the very moment
and I wrapped my arm around her waist and walked towards the beach. As we
moved ahead the cold water splashed around our feet and she pressed closer
to me.And as the moon smiled at us and the waves splashed around our feet to
express its consent with our love we slowly walked on the beach, counting the
infinite stars in the sky, which were to us the infinite promises for our love in
the future In that moment we left the world behind as we walked forward to
our eternity.

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

Those Were The Days


I still remember those juvenile nights, those rainy raw afternoons when I
would chirp around the house smiling at nothing, jumping with joy without a
reason and crying because my mother did not take me out for an ice-cream. I
still remember those yellow painted pots on which I sat admiring the stars,
those dirty stones on which my tender feet would get cut, and those tiny
marbles which I prized above anything else.
Today, as I watch kids running about without any worry about their college,
career and cash, it brings back to me those priceless moments when I did not
care much about what happened in the parliament or how many politicians
resigned. All I knew was that I had a cricket match waiting, a time to go
cycling, a time to drive those tiny hot wheels inside which drove my dreams.
I remember the number of snowmen that I built, and then broke them in a
single blow trying to enact a stunt hero. I still can hear those soundless fires of
my toy pistol, still feel the tears in my eyes afraid of the hurt. I move around
strong today, ready to face life, but when I look back on such a small boy who
wants to dance, who wants to play, laugh and sleep waiting for the angels to
drop and bless him. I see those tiny green eyes, those soft little hands, those
mini feet wanting to run around, cry those crocodile tears and then hug his
mother as if she was some goddess who could make his dreams come true.

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.

The First Person You Loved In Your Life


A person whose love is deeper than the ocean, a person whose heart is as pure
as the first drop of dew, a person more elegant more beautiful and innocent
than the moon and a person whose care is vast as the limitless sky. All these
qualities can only be found together in one soul and that is the soul of a mother.
Remember the first arms which clasped you in a loving grip, remember the
first kiss you got on your forehead, remember the first eyes which were full of
joyful tears when they saw you and remember the first person in your life for
whom you were more precious than her own life- it was your mother.

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.

The professor with a reasonable interruption asked me Do you think I'm


some kind of fool who has been teaching this? and to this my reply was:
Emphatically speaking sir you picked up this course because you were a free
bird at that time and you most probably had this noble thought of helping the
people with your knowledge or serving your country. But unfortunately,
people learning in your temple no longer bear resemblance to that thought. All

The Road Less Travelled


It's the road less travelled,
Where 'he' goes on.
Treading the convoluted path
Warped under mist and fog,
Of uncertainties and hopelessness
and, a jerk he falls but then
moves on!
In the woods all alone,
But they won't believe
For those who rely on apparent
Know not what the heart pines!
But they are right... 'he' himself
Does not know... why is he going on
In the woods, on the road less travelled!

Beyond the mist lies serenity


You walk on and achieve
And he rests and dies and lives.
In the woods, all alone on the
road less travelled!!!

It's dark but greater is the darkness within


And light is no-where ahead nor within.
In cold and fury he falters but gropes
In the dark to catch a glimpse
Of that reality he had some time back!
In wilderness, in the woods he treads
Silently 'aware' of the trepidations
Of heart, the wishes and tender dreams.

Ah!!! It's a fool's dream and rantings


Of a mad man highly paradoxical
Within, he does not know and he refutes
Whatever he says and feels the next moment
Pity on him and his mind; but he moves on!
Under the stars in the wintry night,
He searches for 'warmth' and then dies
To be alive again for the next morning!!!

He crosses himself and refutes his soul


For in darkness, souls do not rely on
weak dreams and trampled wishes
In the woods he goes on
Leaving behind fog and dust
but ahead are more; pits and falls
yet, he knows he will move on!

24

O! Friends and companions come not


Nor give pearls of wisdom to a beggar
Unwary of your treasures!
Pains are different and vary on different paths
Your pains 'he' does not understand
For hollow beings have nothing to reflect!
It's time now to halt a bit
Take breath and fall asleep
For weariness is deathly and
Indifference is stark

Introspection

Oh! Thee Good Friends

Grief and morose sprawl their hands


Time's scurrying, bodies do not understand
Distances sweep in among the mortals
Still silence and no-one to tell

Who's a real friend and who's your foe

Bodies covered with mask on face


On the roads, creeping with pace
Holding delight from release
Fighting oneself for peace
Cold winds do not cease
Rivers glide along with ease,
Mountains too stand high
In the east, sun will still rise

Oh! Lord why did you put up this ugly show


I crave for a true friend
I long this tussle to end
This pie amidst my mind
Oh! Thee good friends how to find?
I maimed and welshed stand 'ashore'
Ashore an ocean that I heard in a folk lore
Oh! Lord how to cross this 'unfathomable sea'
When I have no oar to row and wind against me
All friendships are 'red short'
Never trust anyone, for I do exhort

What for bodies then wait,


Must apprehend the truth straight
Hold on the stone collection,
Discover out some elation
Turn oneself into beautiful soul
Serenity and bliss must be goal
Break-free all the tied chains
Moment ought not pass in vain
Create thou own city
Join hands in love and amity
Leave not anyone alone
No corner to cry no place to groan
Souls will then feel too great
Cheer and harmony will proliferate
Go and live out thou part
Now is the time to start.

But think how wrong of me!


Entwined in my thoughts, please someone set me free!
Sometimes the puissance of true mates
Defeat the world and relinquish the states
But a 'heart' once broken, a 'friendship' once shaken
On no account can be conjoined, that's betoken
Betwixt bevy agony I bewail
Like an abandoned sailor I do sail
Lost almost in this forlorn quest
Beseeching an answer, I just 'cant' rest
So captured thus in my thought's den
I would like here my poem to end.

The Lone Horse


It was as if we were mirrors
Reflecting what the other felt
Looking through the window
I saw a lone horse
Waving his dark black mane of hair
Hitting the ground like he owned it
He amused me a bit
I wondered to myself
'What makes this horse so full of pride?'
'Why is the horse all alone and still visibly secure?'
Clad in what seemed like black velvet
Beautiful eyes like jade
Limbs that looked like tree trunks
And a thick stock of hair as the tail
I kept staring for a while
Scared and apprehensive to go touch it
The horse didn't even look at me
I was a mere spectator to its glorious body
I was still at the window
I was still scared
When I saw the horse looking at me
With the oddest of all expressions
It seemed scared
It seemed anxious
It seemed curious
Just like me

Seeing the beast cower down


In fear of someone like me
I went out into the field
And closed down the distance between us
Step by step
My fear became fascination
His anxiety became amusement
Our feelings changed
I put my hand on the head of the creature
It neighed in approval of my touch
I thought I had it under control
When all of a sudden it went on its hinds
It ran away
Far away from me
I was hoping it would come back
But it didn't
Just when I think I know
Just when I feel things are not going to change
They do
Always
The beast made me realize many things
Pride does not need people
An audience is not required to make one feel proud
It just shows

We had something in common


When we looked at each other

The Sun, The Sand And The Sea


Presence of another can intimidate
The fear of the unknown exists
Similar feelings are a great ice breaker
Touch is a good medium of communication
I could still see the silhouette of the horse
Running away into the oblivion
I wondered to myself
'What made this horse so full of pride?'

The sun shimmers in the sky


sprinkling gold in the sea
upon the shore where I stand,
My head clouded, feet buried in sand.
With constant pull of the waters, earth slipping beneath
As I sink further, I feel light within.
No care for things anymore out of my reach,
If I could just close my eyes and crumble to the beach.
The fall of the sky, the spread of the sea,
My quench to meet horizon fail me at bay.
If my eyes possessed a lock, I'd throw away the keys,
To capture a lifetime in a moment of peace.
The tranquil nature, pristine and serene,
Had me awestruck like never before.
The taste of which is euphoric than rehoboam,
Wonder if it could ever be my home.
The hazmatic universe and the perilous world,
The jeopardy of life are of least concern.
The wondrous Nature the air of self being,
The opus intimate the charm of living.
Take an eirenic breath and see,
I lost myself and discovered me.
The romantic interlude, oh! let me be,
In the sun, the sand, and the sea.

(Bro! Got Change Worth Sachin?)


It was more than a decade ago, when Indian cricket was marred by an ugly
controversy and some of its most experienced and best faces were shown the
door. That was when the weight of responsibility suddenly came down to the
young guns and a few of them stepped up and made themselves count. Of
these few, some of them were known by the names of Dravid, Laxman and
Ganguly. Sachin, too was of that age group but counting him as an
inexperienced was harsh, if not foolish.
Changes are always a part of any system; the world is dynamic after all. Even if
everything else remains static, at least time keeps changing.But this change in
Indian cricket was more of a quantum leap- probably the most risky of all the
changes. After all, the response to a system to an impulse is a transient state,
followed by a stable state later on. And yes, I am an electrical engineer!
I am not really into mythology but then, if we recall Krishna's famous,
yadayada hi dharmasya it claims that whenever there is a loss of
righteousness, indirect rescue shall be provided by the Almighty (I hope I got
that right!). Well, Indian cricket at that stage was in shambles. Middle-order
collapses had become a prominent feature. They were steam rolled in
Australia and were in peril of losing to the same opposition in familiar
territory as well. This was probably the point where the incarnations were
activated. And the rest, as they say, was history.
The famous victory at the Eden Gardens was indeed the marquee one, but any
cricket follower would be aware of the number of match winning
performances by these three or four blokes. Especially, Laxman and Dravid
had almost made it a habit of digging India out of adverse situations. Quite
deservingly, this batch of players went on to become greats and India is rather
fortunate to still have them in mortal form (in terms of cricket). I started
following Test cricket, ardently, at the age of 12, in 2001 and its rather
interesting to still have the same names at number 3,4 and 5, eleven years
down the line.
But, of late there has been a slight twist in the tale. People are born, they

94

95

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

them reach you. Keep the good work going .Teach our brothers and sons the
true sense of Jihad.
"Change" is bound to one's life. Some accept it positively, while others do not.
It has so much energy in its belly that it can go on shaking the grounds of your
mere existence. You'll then be shattered and find yourself in search of solace at
its doorstep. But what happens when it arrives at a point of no return. At a
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

TERRA FIRMA

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

100

Ali's soul was bare. "Where is my body? My heart is lifeless and so is my


breath. Am I dead?"
"Yes you are", came the answer. "You are dead just like the others whom you
killed for fulfilling your own evil desires."
"What are you trying to say? Have I never walked on the path of Allah?"
"The agony that you caused to your brothers, mothers' longing for their dead
sons, and destruction in mass human massacres, themselves speak the truth.
The path of Allah is free of malice and hatred. He teaches you to love even the
microscopic creature on Earth. For Him, all His sons are equal. No caste,
religion or territory can contain Him. Pain to any of His son, brings tears in His
eyes. Sufferings in their lives make Him suffer too. "
"I've always tried to avenge the pain, my brothers have undergone. Jihad
taught them to believe in themselves."
"Allah has always preached universal brotherhood. Your deeds have never
pleased Him. How can a Father rest while his blood is in pain? You have
turned yourself into a butcher whose soul is discarded forever. You are not
worthy of God's blessings. Your soul will be confined in this dead corner of the
world with the other cursed ones."
The mirror stopped radiating. Ali contemplated, What a fool I was to seek
justification for my doings. How could I term my inhuman activities the will of
God? I misguided humanity." He went close to the mirror and found himself as
a handsome youth once he was. But suddenly the cover smashed and then
emerged his blackened soul. It went on growing darker and darker. Its shadow
was drenched with blood. Ali just couldn't see himself in such a condition and
started scratching the mirror's surface in a hope that it would remove those
black scraps off his soul. "Please do not abandon me", he yelled repeatedly. He
kept on scratching the mirror as all the other abandoned, surrounded and
started laughing.

And I Still Await


Purnamaya has always lived afresh in my memories. The charm in her face
reflecting the traditional glory of the Sherpas, still entices me. The photo taken
with an analog Kodak camera around 1980's still outshines all those colorful
photoshopped ones hanging in my corridor. She's always been 'The Afghan
Girl' from the National Geographic (1984) for me. The 8 X 12 photo of a young
Sherpa girl with beautiful eyes, Mona Lisa smile and charismatic face, hanging
by my door is the best portrait in my dad's collection. Every effort of mine
using analog to digital to even DSLRs till date has been incomparable to this
masterpiece.
Every photo carries along a lot of memories with it. The time, the circumstance
and the content add great value to a photograph. It's not just Purnamaya in the
photo frame that allures my attention every day. It's not just the invigorating
beautiful eyes but also the Himalayan kingdom she is from. The tradition she
carried forward and the rich cultural values she inherited. Also the
indigenous knowledge, the innocence and humility that sustained her
existence in this so called modern world to make both of us contemporaries.
Four years in India and nothing has really changed in me. Except for a few
added lines in my CV and some milligrams in my body, I can hardly cite of any
growth within me in my college days. The only obsession I've luckily got to
was travelling. Travelling for me was earlier a compulsion but now has
become a routine. From indigenous villages in Orissa to hi-tech Bangalore, the
over-crowded Thamel to snow clad Langtang ranges, my travel destinations
have varied in their own ways. Every semester break would ultimately turn
out to be an unplanned tour for me bringing back lots of excitement,
unimaginable learning and unforgettable memories.
With a pocket sized digital cam, a small backpack and a pair of sports shoes,
the Holi vacation this year turned out to be a trek to the Himalayan kingdom of
Mustang. A bumpy ride on the rear seat of a wretched bus took us to Pokhara.
After 2 days of hefty walk up the hills, down the valleys, over the bridge
through the forest and by the river, the glorious Himalayas wait to welcome us
with their magnificent beauty. The snow clad mountains seemed close enough
to be able to reach out and touch them with my own hands. And the scenic

102

beauty could hardly be described in words. Hundreds of blogs, thousands of


photos and millions of comments would seem inadequate to explain what my
eyes could savor each moment of the journey.
We walked past Marpha 'the apple capital of Nepal'. The country is not the
same as used to be in my dad's stories. There are a lot more 'kyeures' (the fair
skinned tourists) and for their contentment, the soil has changed its taste.
Hardly could I find any caravan of horses and mules carrying salt and food to
the deserted land. The old lady, besides the shop I bought a woolen cap, was
interested in selling me a beautiful watch rather than the handicraft, the locals
had made. It's easier to find imported vodka than the local apple brandy. The
local restaurant menu offered pizzas, burgers and even hams instead of
Tibetan bread, oat pudding to yak sukuti (dry meat). The 'district beyond the
Himalayas' which never had even a bit of the decade long civil war in the
country, now is completely devastated. Chyangbaz (the young boys) have
moved to cities as Mahindra Boleros have overtaken their jobs. Cultural shows
have Bollywood item songs in place of the melodious 'Tamang selos'. Nike and
Puma are more popular among the youths than their own Bakhhus
(traditional shoes). The roads have been paved, hospitals have been built and
electricity is at people's reach but alongside, jeans took over their khadas, the
gas cooked dheedo (pudding) doesn't taste as good as it used to be with the
firewood, and even the mountains do not embrace you with the same glory as
they used to. The pursuit of happiness has a paradigm in the natural ambience,
cultural magnificence and eternal peace of these descendants of the
Himalayas.
The transition of these communities has changed the meaning of a happy life.
The rich cultural and natural heritage is being adversely impacted by the
influence of the western civilization and the concept of responsible tourism
has just a small place in dictionary. My dad would never experience the
nostalgia of being on the lap of the glorious mountains. And I still keep
wandering along the countryside on a quest to find Purnamaya.

Section 26(1)g
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.

Part II - The Senior


It was a flutter that woke me up. A pigeon had flown across the high ceiling of
the drab classroom, bringing me to my senses. Not a bad time to wake up, to be
honest. The professor had just started taking the attendance. As soon as he
called my name, I answered and without a word, went out. He didn't mind.
Our class was a lot better to him than the one that had just come in. In fact, our
class was a lot better to almost everyone, including to us. As I made my way
back to the hostel, two guys, three years my junior passed by me. One of them
looked me straight into the eye, without even a sign of recognition or respect. I
remembered my time, when I had to bow my head to a senior, even just a year
older, and wish him as I passed, dressed in a plain white shirt customized with
a single red button. I didn't however feel bad for myself. I knew that the kind of
friendship I now enjoyed with those seniors, is something that these guys
would never know of.
I came back to my room, my wing-mates were talking about the new batch too.
I thought of all the fun. I'd had with my seniors. I thought of us all feeling
abased about not being able to rag our juniors. I thought of the guys across
town who'd been fined 50k for having some fun.
But if I had to choose between parting with 50k and facing humiliation with
my fellow batch-mates, I guess I'd pick humiliation any day.

105

Part III - The Junior


It was my roommate who woke me up. With tired disinterested professors,
and disconnected seniors, he was one of the few 'mentors' I had. A pretty tough
way to wake up, like this. Almost a semester into College, and I still had no
idea what to do with my life. So finding motivation to getup and go attend
lectures was tough. Nonetheless, with the promise of a job, I dragged my sorry
frame to the class, as I had for the entire semester. Listening to the professors
was an even harder task. They sounded distant, as if teaching to themselves.

I thought of the 'humiliation' I would have faced, had 'cruel sadists' been let
loose on me.
But if I had to pick between a day of humiliation and a lifetime of ignorance, I
guess I'd pick humiliation any day.

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.

Uprooted
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.

Westernisation we have completely lost ground, and have surely changed


beyond all norms, so much so that, we have lost our identity in the world of
culture. Let us remember that, when we blindly copy the West, we are
behaving like slaves, for it is only slaves who have nothing of their own, and all
that they own is borrowed or given in charity.
We have to uphold the traditions of this ancient land and stop it from getting
taken over by Westernisation completely. If we do not stop this plague at this
crucial juncture, we will be the losers as it is we who will find ourselves as
misfits in the changed Western scenario. East is East and West is West and
never the twain shall meet. We should therefore, work hard in maintaining
our traditions, as tradition is the hallmark of a flourishing nation.

It is never to be inferred that, we must refrain from learning from outsiders


but, when we learn, we must inquire whether the current system truly needs
changing for the better or whether we're just aping the West. Once that much is
made clear, we will realize that many things we are adopting in our lives aren't
really very necessary for our growth. On the other hand, most of what we've
adopted till now (and still adopting) has affected our originality and our ageold culture. We must try to understand very clearly that, a nation that changes
beyond recognition loses much more than just its identity.
It is for the parents and teachers to inculcate Indian values in the next
generation as these were our assets and the qualities that uniquely identified
as being, a country apart from the rest. We may absorb the good aspects of
other cultures but in doing so we must take care to not lose our identity. Our
valuable assets have always stood us in good stead and have stood the test of
time. They have been intrinsic to our very existence. However in our zest for

boasting of their fame given by us, they should teach us some good such as:
We ordinary people are born to worship, be it the God or a celebrity. The
beautiful, bizarre faces tend to occupy our mind to an extent of delirium. We
become so harebrained that we're unable to discern the evil and the good.
Their grimacing intimidates our normal expressions. We become incompetent
in any lucky conversation with them. We even emulate their statuesque
moves. Even a single picture with our self made deity becomes our priciest
possession, and the best thing to flaunt. A mere physical contact seems to
impart 'The Midas Touch' in us. Their gaffes and flaws are treated as style
statements.
We gawk at their sleepy faces because we find it beautiful. Their every single
routine part is an event for us. Any beautiful creation isn't graceful or
charming if it isn't promoted by the stars.
It's an utter shame that mourning on their small cut is equivalent to death of
100 people in the city. Without any emotional or social contact with them
their life events hold a festive place in our hearts.
And our dear luminaries have given us a lot in lieu of our adulation. They've
encouraged:
(i)

without tweeting people, parties only with loud music and
intoxicants. Money frenzy society with your near and dear ones busy

gather and reveal every possible detail of yours.

better to invent or discover new instead of bragging of the invented
ones? People must come out of the traps of caste, religion,
discrimination, cheating, corruption, false, easy and quick money
making techniques etc.

(ii)

Encouraging people to use eco-friendly and renewable resources that


may or may not look attractive. But this is the key to happy,
sustainable living.

(iii)

Redefining fashion as something which makes you confident,


comfortable and creative.

(iv)

Condemning the false flaunting and wastage as petty ideas.

(v)

Appreciating that owning a glossy, costly car/cellphone or trendy


outfit is not a matter of pride. Instead it's our knowledge, our
behavior, our healthy thoughts that we should be proud of.

(vi) Highlighting the fact that it is not our wealth that makes us the
center of attraction but it is our modesty, simplicity, loyalty and our
loving nature that makes us a face worth remembering.
In this rat race to westernization, people are putting at stake much of its
environment, culture and values. Every development is leading to a decline in
happiness. And in this era of beauty, endorsing something ugly although
beneficial is a challenging task.
These things may be vehemently opposed or shunned at the first time, but in
the long run people will reveal the idea of quiescent and simplified form of
living. I know that a single person can't do this but it could be a coterie of celebs
inspiring this innovative, effective version of life. However difficult this job
maybe but it should be tried, as a famous saying goes The night is indeed dark
but when is lighting a lamp forbidden.

Now, people don't interact, thankfully there is only some form of talk
through the internet but that too becomes a headache with unwanted cyber
personalities interfering.

If above mentioned things are accepted and followed, life will inevitably be
simple & people will get time to relax and think high.

These celebrities worshipped like the Almighty should learn to behave like
them. They've the power to change millions of minds and lives of their fans.

1913 to 2013 Celebrating A Century Of Entertainment,


Entertainment and Entertainment
May 3rd 1913, Coronation Cinema, Bombay.little did Dadasaheb Phalke
know that his 'Raja Harishchandra'-India's first fully indigenous silent feature
film, would not only herald the birth of the Indian film industry, but also lay
the foundation stone of the industry which would become the largest producer
of films in the world with time.
It all began with a visionary Dadasaheb Phalke who produced Raja
Harishchandra, a silent film in Marathi in the year 1913. After initial years of
dabbling with silent movies, Indian film industry progressed to the next level
on 14 March 1931 with Ardeshir Irani's AlamAra, which was the first Indian
talking film.
As sound technology advanced in the 1930's, this period saw the beginning of
the now 'part and parcel' feature of Indian movies the 'song-and-dance'
phenomenon.
Another significant development was the emergence of 'studio' culture in
India. Chennai, Kolkata, and Mumbai all had studios setup which became the
centres of movie production (and till date remain their strong hold).
Following India's independence, the period from the late 1940's to the 1960's is
regarded by film historians as the 'Golden Age' of Indian cinema. Some of the
most critically acclaimed Indian films of all time were produced during this
period.
Neecha Nagar (1946), Awaara (1951), BaijuBawra (1952) , Do BighaZamin
(1953), Shree 420 (1955), Pyaasa (1957),Mother India (1957), Do
AankhenBarahHaath (1957), Mayabazar (1957), Mayabazar (Telugu and Tamil
bilingual-1957), Madhumati (1958), KaagazKePhool (1959), Mughal-e-Azam
(1960) and Narthanasala (Telugu -1963) were some of the standout movies of
this 'golden' era. It is no surprise that in the 1950's Satyajit Ray's movies of 'The
Apu Trilogy' were setting the world stage on fire bagging major prizes at all the
major international film festivals. His success paved way for ChetanAnand,
114

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
variety in the genre of movies he or she could choose. Be it Lagaan(2001) or
Rang De Basanti(2006), the Munnabhai series or the drama Gadar: EkPrem
K a t h a ( 2 0 0 1 ) , f ro m t a l k i n g a b o u t ' e x t r a m a r i t a l a ff a i r s ' i n
KabhiAlvidaNaaKehna (2006) to a touching story of an eight year old dyslexic
boy TaareZameenPar (2007), introducing the nation's new heart throb in
KahoNaaPyaarHai(2000) or one of India's finest sci-fi movie in KoiMil
Gaya(2003) or the Dhoom series which started a new chapter in action genre;
the new millennium has definitely done a world of good for the movie
industry.
A lot has changed in these hundred years. From a time where businessmen
who hardly understood the nitty-gritties of film-making were major
producers of movies in the nation to the wave of 'new cinema' which was
mainly government-sponsored (National Film Development Corporation),
the Indian movie industry has been hit by a new phenomenon
'corporatisation' in the last few decades. Major film production houses likeEros,

have changed the dynamics of filmmaking in India. The movies of today are a
fine blend of slick and effective marketing and much refined story and screen
play. Most importantly rise of such 'producers' has helped the works of those
with a 'good script' but no financial backing to see the light of the day.
While a lot of positives have helped the industry to become a 'viable' one, a lot
of deterrents have also come into picture. Piracy is the biggest of them all.
Movie piracy is rampant in India; it is ranked 4th worldwide in terms of illegal
downloads. With ticket pricing being one of the lowest in India when
compared to most of the other countries, piracy results in huge losses for the
film makers. The Indian movie industry has made remarkable progress in the
recent years. They are now recognised globally. The Indian economy is
conducive for further acceleration of this industry. But inspite of all this as of
now the contribution of India to the global market in terms of content and
quality leaves a lot to be desired.
One prime reason for this is the length of the film. Even the best films are found
to be a good 20 to 30 minutes too long. In order to consistently give the
Hollywood movies a run for their money it is very important that the Indian
movies wrap up in and around the one and a half hour mark.
As the Indian movie industry enters into the hundredth year, it is time that it
takes centre stage on the world platform. And most importantly continue

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
end-Voyager
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.
A dignified death is better than a slow and painful demise. Euthanasia is

Ay, Bonita!
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.
It is a dj vu of the yester-decades that we as a global economy face at large
today. If the resolution then was to cut down on volumes, layers and lengths,
Fashion has her own take on dealing with the case now as far as development
is concerned.
People have obligated to re-discover their own wardrobe that was obscurely
being shaped during the years of plenty. To get back to what we already
possess and to style them with novelty has in fact, become the new mantra.
Thanks to legends (if we may call them so) like Calvin Klein and Dolce &
Gabbana.
A minimalist approach to Fashion clothing has come to be the order of the day
with soft, sensuous and flowy drapes, re-flattering the feminine physique.
Volume in control, the silhouettes bank heavily on the modest surface
ornamentation and a fringe finishing to the hemlines of many.
Though surfaces are not being compromised with much in terms of
embroidery we certainly are driving the last nail into the coffin of the
'sumptuously embellished'. Embellishment intertwines with accessorization,
when beaded neck-pieces of assorted colors team up with hoopla ear-rings
and chunky bangles this season.
The colors this season ranged from the Earthy tones with red as the accent hue,
to ivory for the favorite neutral. The men weren't far behind. Classics such as
the white T's paired with faded denims remained to be the staple attire yet
again with older denim being the better choice over the fresh. Old is Gold!
But then again, 'this' season you ask?
Those question marks ought to be removed from that young face of yours,
because it was THE time,when the crowd went 'Ooh La La'!
'Why?' you ask.
That's because,

In Search of Him
We breathe the same air, the water that he and I drink, has same colorless
color', and we live under the same magnificent sun. That should make us
similar in all respects but there is a difference of the size of an enormous planet
between his perception and mine.
I am a perfectly average human being looking for ways to earn for my future,
probably get a house of my own and finally die peacefully. If my routine for life
got disturbed, I would be devastated but when I look at him, I see that he is
totally free of this shackle of personal responsibilities and desires.
I get tempted, miserable, anxious, exhausted, but the meaning these words
hold for him can be compared to life held by a corpse. Hypocrisy rules this
world but it's incredible to see people like him emerge from the midst of bogus
ideas and seek for their true purpose in life. His actions scream, This is my
country, these are my people and I could do anything for them, and I get
petrified .He fights for the people, come what may. The fire in his heart keeps
him from hunger and his determination quenches his thirst.
Everyone gets attracted to money; the lust of luxurious life can make even the
noblest man on the earth its prey, but astonishingly, this doesn't hold true for
him. How can he, be so different among these indifferent people? There are
seven billion more like him, but what is the divine power that motivates him to
strive hard to change his life to change the lives of those seven billion? The
chemical composition of his body is probably same as mine, but how does his
heart beat for others while mine lingers on groundless issues? What, after all,
brings this change of mind? And how am I not the lucky one that change chose
to change?
May be change doesn't find you; you find the change. So, at times, I try to be
like him, after all, I also have adequate humanity and patriotism in me. It's not
that I don't care about the rest of the world, the world is my home too, but
putting my thoughts into action is so difficult that at the end of the day, I think
I'd rather find myself a better job instead. I know that I should try and make
this world a better place with my mettle but the weaker side of me suddenly
awakens me, Who is going to take care of your mother?, and then I forget

that a few seconds earlier I had the thought of taking care of the supreme
mother of all.
It must have been arduous for him too. I am not that stupid to say that he has
been sent to earth by God with this secret purpose. He has chosen this for
himself. Materialistic world must have made it as difficult as the impossible,
but he has taken a stand, a stance to change the world. How remarkable would
it be if each of the earth's dwellers developed the same fortitude to change the
world for the good? This home would be as beautiful as paradise if I took care
of my brothers and they took care of me. And, if that happens, the happiest
person will definitely be him.

At different stages in life, our perspective changes, attitude changes and


sometimes even friends change, but what never changes is 'change' itself.
When we first step into the outside world, our biggest problem in life may be
also something as trivial as 2+5=7, or the spelling of 'T-H-E-I-R' and 'T-H-E-R-E'.
But as we grow older in life, life's mysteries become even more complicated.
Life is an endless process of evolution. As we grow older, our priorities change.
All of a sudden, childhood dreams of becoming an engineer or a doctor
become more serious issues determining career options and even our entire
future.
Life is a series of trial and errors, but every time we stumble, we learn from it,
and change for the better. In this process of change, we often tend to submerge
our true selves, for life is a rat race and only the fittest survives. A person
generally tends to lose track of family, friends and even himself in pursuit of
success.
What really matters today is success at any cost. And finally we come to a
balance between ourselves. And every success is failure which spurts on a
different level of success and in this process of human evolution, the one thing
which leads to upward movement in our lives is strong and stable roots. And
one is constantly being guided by the thought that the end must be justified by
the 'means' and 'resources' and not vice-versa.

For Those Hopes That Have Become
Empty
Someone once said The only thing constant in this world is change. The
more I think about this, the more sense it makes. I look back into my life and
realize that there isn't one thing that is still the same. Not me, you or even the
streets and my old worn down house being lifeless. But change is constantly
taking place whether we like it or not. In this constant movement of change
comes a time when you become devoid of all hope and dream. You see
everything you have accomplished so far fall right infront of you. You have
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''~

There is a room across the horizon,


Where the truth lies;
Bathing in eternal sunshine,
Kissed by beloved butterflies.
Brimming with sweet timbre,
With lyres to company;
Smelling of sugar and floss,
Adding to divine harmony.
There is a room across the seas,
Pulling me towards it;
Pulling this sinister aura,
To erase the night in me.
Chained in this sunless cave,
Surrounded by dampness and moss;
Imprisoned in the shackles of,
Envy, hatred and chaos.
There is a room across the skies,
Unaware of my soul;
Unaware of this endless fight,
Heedless of this burning coal.
As I go near,
A new fear catches;
Do I want this light?

That sunshine is my spirit;

This world will take the credit.
I will break open,

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!

These dreams that wake me up at midnight!


Dropping by when I'm deep asleep
Showing me greed, pain and hunger
Throwing the world before me asunder
Bringing my deepest fear back from dead
Harassing me like hell on my own bed.
Eavesdropping on my deepest longings
Of a smile, of a memory, of small belongings
Of pain, some disdain, deep regrets
Singing to me to part my own secrets
But how did they ever find out?
Are my thoughts so unduly aloud?
To penetrate the locked room of my heedless mind
Where I had tried to stifle them tonight?
No, how can you be my dream
To come to wake me up at night and scream
All my secrets unto myself again
I cannot be hallucinating to myself sane.
Nay, maybe I just need some rest,
After all the meaningless crooning and distaste.

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.

"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.

My mind is filled with rustling thoughts,


to decide whether it's truly love or just a passing gloss.
Which part of me feels so much for you,
even when my heart is so safe with you?
I am moved by your beauty and charm,
and wished to be forever in your arms.
I am awake all night gazing at the skies,
hoping that it would show me a reflection of your lovely eyes.
I am like a ship tossed and wrecked by the storm,
but still willing to move on as if I would find you when I reach the shore by dawn.
I would rather hold my breath to see,
you walking a single step away from me.
Oh! the rains of spring I am glad that you are here,
as it reminds me of her silently doing her hair.
O! girl, just come out of my dreams,
and lets walk hand in hand under this beautiful moonbeam.
I am afraid when you are in sight,
because you would fade away since its too bright.
I want none to see tears rolling down my cheeks,
when I realize my passion for you is not enough to pacify your needs.
I am so heavy still my head is held high;
deep down you too feel for me, then girl why are you so shy?
However let's not grudge what fate has in store for us,
as it would always be for the better of us.
