Nostalgia!!

-
When you really have nothing to do…have some spare time in your kitty – GO NOSTALGIC. Yes! That’s the best way to deal with time that you don’t want to put in practical use.

Remember the good old school days, dozing off in the hindi lecture while the teacher chanted the “Dohas of Sant Kabir”; going zapped in the history class, for why the hell did anyone even think of attacking another’s land or wife or whatever??? What were they even thinking? Nerds!!!

Trying to figure out why in the world would any metal or non-metal react to hydrogen and oxygen, and what made the two similar poles repel and that chapter on life process-2, how it always opened the eyes even when we detested waking up. The pranks on some of the fellow classmates and even on those imbecile teachers (no offence); how we evaded the physical education period by making silly excuses of having a tummy ache, or a head ache, or even better, a sprained ankle. Annoying the class topper by hiding the books, not doing home works, missing out on submissions. Ah, have done it all and really makes me feel good for having done that all.

Then the second chapter started, of being the COLLEGIATE. The gaiety of youth entwined in ridiculous insanity. Persisting with the epithet “Prodigious Last Benchers”, to being the “Rebellious Front Runner”. Officially ragging and nagging people; owning up for the wrong deeds blatantly and the most enticing were the fights between those couples who thought they owned each other.

Now, as I rekindle the beauty of yore, I feel absolutely euphoric and gleeful. It always does this, always peps me up to an extent that I feel fresh and vibrant. It surely is the best investment of time and a great stress buster.
Happy Reminiscence!!!

Equal and Dignified

-
Equality- what exactly do we mean when we say we are equal. I suppose it is just that there is no bar to measure the others status, right or opportunity. When we say we women are equal to men, what do we intend to refer. Is it the prowess and potential of cerebral competence or the reference to the daily chores where we try to satisfy random egos in a hustle and bustle? My idea of equality has always been a free will to express your thoughts, take a stand of your own action, being independent of the biases. But when I hear people talking of comparisons on imprudent issues such as; if a man can go on a field trip so can a woman, if mothers have to stay home to look after the baby, why don’t the fathers do the same; it makes me rethink that its not just the stand of a man or a woman, we have very conveniently reiterated equality to settle our frustrated thoughts into mind boggling issues. I felt being a hypocrite when once a friend of mine refused to tip the waiter saying girls are not

Someone Just So Special!!!

-
You say you like someone, then you say you have crush on someone, and then there are some whom you just like all the time of your life but they are not your crush, not your beloved, neither your best friends. During the journey of life, we keep bumping into people of all sorts, style, manner, genre and psyche. We befriend some; we fall in love with a few and some just go by as “Wow! I like him” and then you forget them the next day. There is one more classification. There are some people you simply like throughout your life without much expectations. This liking is so mutual, you are utterly comfortable with this person, you enjoy talking, sharing; you build a great level of trust with each other; and things never change between you two. There is an unambiguous alliance, based on trust, care, admiration, and respect, that institutes a mutual affinity which continues forever. You get into relationships, you break off, you make new friends, you party with your childhood best friends,

The pArt of Living Nonsense

-
The title itself may provoke numerous minds, but that’s the whole idea behind writing this post. To awaken those who are still sleeping with imposed facts shielding their thoughts. We were young enough when we first heard about these famous saints who brought the concept of living with the power of smiles. Though blasphemous it appeared, it did manage to gather a million blind followers. No fear keeps me away from criticizing it for I strongly feel against it. The whole concept is to pretend that nothing wrong can happen, maintain your positivity and just turn a deaf ear to you problems. They will either shun by themselves or give up under the power of your so called positivism. Psychologists suggest that optimism does bring about a change in a person’s perception. But this theory of achieving harmony with an exaggerated version of pretentious optimism eventually makes you so hollow that you stop defining your own instincts and powers. For all I ask here is how can you really over
