To begin with a very happy republic day to all of us who have been such an amazing audience to all the drama that has been unfolding in our country for so long. Kudos to all of us for that. This republic day gets along with itself a bittersweet feeling in my heart. A feeling that makes me feel like we have mocked our constitution enough now and the words like democracy or republic are slowly losing their meaning anyway. Recently, there had been a surprising turn of events and I have watched more patriotic movies than the genres I prefer watching usually. All of it has just made me ponder about one big question that why did we fight all those battles? With what motive did our ancestors think that we deserve ‘azadi’? Beginning right from the time when we have been invaded and exploited so much by the Mughals that they bestowed us with the status ‘Sone ki chidiya’. We laid golden eggs and we were and are one of the most fertile regions that exist on the planet. We needed leade...

Hello everyone. This post was not meant to be typed but with each passing day, the ruckus we are creating compels me to write this post. We, as a country, have been protesting too much recently against the introduction of the new bill, CAB ( Citizenship Amendment Bill). The more time I spend on all the social media sites, the more I realize how there are two sides of a coin. And apparently, each one of us has picked up a side.  It is either favored or unfavored. The aftermath that has been going on is not even surprising me anymore. We see each post that has been put up related to CAB with the same perspective as the side we chose to be on. Can we look at both sides and then decide which side should we actually be upon? I'M NOT GOING TO CHOOSE FOR YOU. IT IS YOUR CHOICE.  Favor of CAB:- CAB is a bill that would guarantee citizenship to the immigrants from 3 countries that already reside in India on or before 31st December 2014. However, there is a particular religion b...

This is just going to be a vent it out all post so if you feel that this was harsh or ruthless, I may or may not be sorry. All the above images are the notifications or stories that I have received from one of the news apps within a duration of 24 hours. Yes, it is so hard to believe that 24 hours and this is how we are progressing in our country. The contradiction here is so strong, on one hand, there is Padmashri Sudha Murthy coming up on the Indian national television and motivating her vision of empowering the females of the country and on the other hand, this is how our fellow citizens are treating females in our country. We have the media covering all the news related to the high profile cases like Ram Lala and Babri Masjid but unfortunately only one of the rape news makes it to the corner under 50 words section of our newspapers. All the media channels covering the whole political drama in Maharashtra and if not this then being head over heels in love with displa...

I know that seems like a really fun title and you won't believe me but I did buy a tee with literally the same written on it. I don't think a major part of you guys know but I had been on a trip to Leh-Ladakh and that is exactly what today I am going to post on. You don't need to have your bags packed and yet I'd take you on a journey that'd make you wish for having your bags packed and running off to Leh. First things first, this wasn't a planned trip. This happens for most of the trips I take recently upon choosing a career in engineering. I choose not to post the itinerary of the trip here but in case you need mine for the referral purposes, you could drop a mail and I'd happily send it to you. Let me put this out there, I was scared for taking this trip. Yes, I was extremely scared and worried when we were putting the plans for this trip into execution. This was due to 2 reasons:- 1. I was going to be traveling with my family i.e. my mom and dad. ...

It is not easy, it will never be. Each wound caused to you comes along with a certain amount of pain, a certain amount of tears too probably. Each wound caused to you, be it internal or external, is an outcome of things not going the way they were planned to go. Each scratch is a memory of how hurt you were when it happened. The worst part of these wounds is the fact that they don't disappear easily. THEY STAY. They make you realize each time as to how you got hurt the last time and why you shouldn't repeat the same thing again. But shall we stop? Shall we cease doing whatever caused us the wound? Can you stop eating pieces of vegetables and start eating them as a whole just because the last time you held the knife it hurt? No, right. Similarly, you cannot stop trusting someone because it hurt you the last time you did. However, as you age, you realize that you cannot stop yourself from getting wounded completely ever. The only thing you can control and have power over is...

This below post in an excerpt from the heart of a person who wishes to share his feelings with the world but hides it from the person he needs to share it actually with.  Hope you like his story. Let me know how you found it in the comment section. Good Day ! I'll let him take over now.. The words below are something I wish I could say out loud but cannot. To The Most beautiful lady, Our hands brushed today again on the skywalk as I tripped and tried to climb my way up the skywalk while you were calmly humming to the tune of the song which you were probably hearing on your iPod. The scent of fresh lilies capture my nose and senses each time you have passed by me and trust me that very fragrance is what makes you unique. You are as chirpy as those lilies and always as fresh as they are at dawn. Well, at least in my thoughts you are. Your voice is what calms my chaos. Your voice when you ask me how I have been managing, what did I do that day, where am I off to. All of this s...

Hello, hi, Namaste... Finally a month into 2019 and it is still taking me a lot of time for the reality that its a new year now to set in. This is going to be the first post of 2019 on this blog. Hence, I thought why not stick to the roots behind this blog or maybe dig deeper into the roots too. See the main motive behind posting all the blogs has always been to make the world a better place and to stop it from turning into an eye for an eye place. Right now, we are going to talking about how big, influencing role gestures play in our lives and why gestures are essential in our current living space. I am an introvert and being one, I find it really hard to talk to people I haven't been on recent terms with. Worse, I have always felt like I am at a loss of words regardless of the situations. This is where using gestures comes up as a boon for me. Gestures are those words which I never even have to utter but the message is sent. You see that security person sitting near the ga...
