The Silent Cry

He wants to run to a safe haven, he ran once before as a teenager. Life as a kid seemed terrible to him as the inhibitions were getting deep into his head. Had he gone forever, his life would have either ended or he would have broken all earthly ties. Today both of them sound and feel better. Life is an irony to him than a journey with hope. He lived life on his terms, made his own mistakes, fell in love, laughed and cried when he wanted. But today neither seems to be in his hands. The society has stolen his life away in a second, the dream he built and the life he imagined are all gone. Hope was his armour to fend himself from the society but today the armour is lost in the whirlpool of relations which make no sense to him. The claustrophobia the helplessness is back, the inhibitions are back to haunt him to prove it to him that he was wrong all the way, he has to accept defeat. Live the life of every other human being, make the same sacrifices.

He thought he was different from the time he realised what he wanted to do with his life. Yet again he has been shown the power of a society which can only pass judgement and make living miserable for those who follow their hearts. A society which watches movies and shed tears but learns nothing, the best example is 3 idiots, a blockbuster but did the parents learn anything? No! We saw Rang De Basanti, did the youngsters learn anything? No! Society lives in the past and that’s y we don’t move ahead. No government can ever do anything until the societies look forward. ‘He’ is one of the victims. There are hundred thousands of him in our society, some quietly take it all or some run! Even the escape is a curse to his family, the lifelong curse to listen to the opinion and fake sympathy.

The love of blood or the love for happiness, what to choose? Yell, shed tears, kill yourself, in the end the loser is again him! A life which promised happiness is now a dream which will never happen. For him the shackles are back again, giving him the sinister laugh, taunting him with utmost content. There is no end to the misery, it just keeps piling unless he accepts the society’s rules and plays by it. Yet again he asks himself, what’s more important?  An answer he will never have. An answer he wished was simple. An answer which didn't have so many people he cared about. He wants to run, but he can’t, he wants an answer, he will never have, he wants a life he will never have! He loses hope, he loses love and then is just a machine programmed by the society.

Background:

 He was walking down his path in the midst of people he didn't care about. Life was kind and he was all on his own. The things beautifully took a turn when he met her in the path. Off course he was late for no fault of his. But then she were already there, he looked in her eyes and without saying a word he held her hand. he felt his heart beat get a new life, a feeling that everyone craves the feeling of completeness the feeling of love. The days seems shorter and the distance feels terribly longer. Future is uncertain but she and he were good to go. For the love and bond, its impossible for him to let it go, for things which cannot be changed. The world is a bitch and all it knows is to blabber. The fate is the enemy of destiny who tries to make the ride bumpy. Yet he stands with arms stretched wide open to hold her for the bumpy ride and look into her eyes when its all over and there can be peace.

A TREK to Remember!

It all began when we wanted a weekend break which would rejuvenate our minds and make us believe that the world isn’t against us and we can have fun too. What we didn’t know was it was almost going to break our bones and make us miserable for the entire following week. Yet it all began with 2 of us who were so convinced with the entire itinerary of the trip that we believed it was made JUST for US! So when it came to roping in more people for the fun trip we assumed it to be, we were better than Rocket Singh “salesman of the year” and that’s when I wonder what if I was a sales guy! A staggering 13 people were a part of the legen… (Wait for it)...DARY trip to our very own, most beloved SANDHAN VALLEY! YES 13! Eventually after it all got over I was wondering who got fooled me or them! You know the time when you have planned about sitting under the sky, holding a glass of scotch (in our case rum) with some light music and a bunch of great people around you with laughter galore a...

I was at home attending school, living the life of a normal child; it was on the weekends that he made up for the absence during the week. He took me to the slums the first day and then only on the day when it was no longer a slum. I was surprised, and only then did I realise, what he had done in those 5 years. People got fresh water, proper electricity, proper homes to stay; they had a hospital and even a school now. It was all happening. He was there on all news channels and newspapers. Some even rated him as the next PM.   The next step was the toughest and the one which made all the difference.                                                                          The Birth March, 2021. He gathered people one after the other, and two years before the next election he...

Educated Fools: Just education will not change the world

We are an informed generation. Smartphone, internet, websites have enriched our lives with information. The ability to stare at a 5 inch glass screen and getting to know about what is going on in any corner of the world is astounding. Viral videos, social experiments, latest news will not change the world, whereas understanding them, questioning the motive behind them, transforming information to knowledge will enrich the world and make it a better place. Everywhere I go, I hear people say, “What can I do, all this is way beyond my power”. Saving water, saving electricity, speaking up to wrong just around you, these are things all of us can do. We do not need a revolution for this. One can as many social campaigns on YouTube or Facebook, like/up vote them share them, but it will still not change the world, unless we apply it in our lives. I would like to address instances of hypocrisy, disrespect to natural resources witnessed among educated individuals in our society: ...
