Should Sanjay be pardoned?

I never keep my promises, at least on this blog. I started writing a series on Sambhaavnaa and left it after one post. This has become a habit. I had decided that I would write a post today, but then I thought there was a more important issue to be discussed. This issue must have [...]

Mela (Fair): Stories from Sambhaavnaa-1

Mela (Fair): Stories from Sambhaavnaa-1

देखिये हम ज्यादा इकोनॉमिक्स नहीं समझते। बस इतना जानते हैं कि अगर घर में एक बच्चा भूखा होगा, एक की स्कूल की फीस भरनी होगी और एक को मेला देखना होगा, तो हम पहले क्या करेंगे। [Translation: Look, I do not understand a lot of economics. But I know, if I had three children, one [...]

The Change Lies Within!!

A few weeks ago I read Hardik Joshi’s (my school friend) status. A conductor said to a guy “Change cannot always be given to you. Sometimes you need to bring change.” What a wonderful statement. On this line lies my article about the recent Delhi case. In my opinion, all the rage caused by this [...]

अनदेखा

सोचना चाहो तो सितारो का कद क्या? देखना चाहो तो अंधेरो मे भी रोशनी का जशन है.. सोचना चाहो तो मुसीबत लहरो सी विशाल क्यो?? देखना चाहो तो मनोबल सा प्रचंड कुछ नही.. सोचना चाहो तो दुख हमपे ही क्यो?? देखना चाहो तो माता पिता से विहीन है कही.. सोचना चाहो तो मन बेडगर राही [...]

Objectivity

I am hungry, I am tired. And this should be an excuse for my mind to take over me, while I struggle with myself to work. I don’t know much how these four months passed by, but I got to know myself a lot more. It is not pure respect, I hated myself too. But nevertheless, these were four months following which I would like to pat myself, take three days off, sleep, read Jeffrey Archer, or maybe Paulo Coelho (any suggestions?), and come back to work again.

चलो मेरे साथ..

चलो मेरे साथ..

चलो आज कुछ बेवजह जीते हैं बेवजह चलते हैं बागीचे की सैर पर हँसते खिल खिलाते दूर इन वजहो से परे…. चलो आज कुछ बेवजह जीते हैं | चलो आज बेवजह मुस्कान बाँटते हैं मुरझाय फूलों मे भी जान डालतें हैं चलो आज आँसू मे भी खुशी छाटते हैं| चलो आज वजह को भी बेवजह [...]

Toronto Diaries #2

I never complete these posts in one go. Perhaps, I should start writing the dates for different parts So, ignore the tense here, as “today” might have been three weeks earlier. We logically had fourth iteration of Zumbl today. For the background, I didn’t sleep yesterday so I was really tired today. As a result, [...]

Midnight Thoughts…

Skies darken, but words don’t die, sun departs, alas..! the wits don’t lie.. birds, plants, creatures snore hard, But OH..!! my thoughts still cry..   Eyes heavy with day’s labor, body sans all its energy.. My mind raising hue & cry, Ah! How I wish, I could for once.. FLY..!   Thou always come & [...]

What’s your take on life?

Tell me not, in mournful number Life is but an empty dream! The gravity and veridicality of the beautiful lines from the poem ‘A psalm of Life’ is undoubtedly impressive. We ‘Humans’ have great pride of being the supreme creation of god. Alas, it is this most civilized and evolved creation of god that is [...]

Deja Vu

The term déjà vu is French and means, literally, “already seen”. All of us have experienced being in a new place and feeling certain that we have been there before. This mysterious feeling, commonly known as déjà vu, occurs when we feel that a new situation is familiar, even if there is evidence that the [...]

Torture Chambers?Nah, life seems to compensate……

Life was always thought to be the handiwork of divinity. When Providence snapped his finger, there sprouted this magical phenomenon which still presents lonely roads and inaccessible destinations in its path. There was a time when all life was crude and raw. Even the so-called superiority of mankind was much jeopardised, when humans hunted for [...]

Apples

This blog has been so dormant of late, that I fear that no one might read this post… but sometimes, you have such a strong urge to express yourself that you don’t care if someone reads your blog or not… I am so confused about the title of this blog… I wish we could have [...]

Ping! Ping! Anybody out there?

Ping! Ping! Anybody out there?

I remember reading a poem in my childhood where a student innocently prays to God “Don’t fail me God, else I will have new batchmates but old benches”, there is no such issue in IIT as the benches have no correlation with the class you are in. But nevertheless it makes me smile.

What we lack in our education…

Whenever there are cries against our education system, there appear many ‘saviours’ who cry hoarse against the critics. They say we have one of the best education systems, which makes us ‘rough and tough’, due to its incessant grinding of students. What they fail to realize is that our education system, apart from its weak [...]
