The War Within !!

15th August 1947, was the day when India took a free breath in the world which was fighting to demonstrate power & domination. Be it the United States of America (USA) or the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), the wait was over and the huge masses kept fighting themselves for the ball to arrive in their court. It took years, sacrifices and destruction of huge property for them to realize , the world was not left about gaining power anymore, but it needed them to come together & promote the peace in it.

India, which was drooling for good things to come by, wasn’t yet aware of the time to come, & it had to resist even harder when Pakistan launched attack in the war of 1960’s. India did not knew what she was even fighting for, to protect its people or to protect its just earned presence on the globe. Years passed on, the political wars , the scams , the hard done things continued to rain in, though there came many who built the nation for once & forever, but the sting of negativity remained in the system. People had criticized the ruling Englishmen for “Divide & Rule” policy, but the division was done already. The Sections had already been classed, people had a different vision for different classes of people & that was when, the mistake had piled on for the worse in future. The losses kept on piling , the carnage at Rajiv Gandhi’s speech, the scathe at Mumbai Blast in ’91 and the ever on going duel between India & Pakistan.

Present day, 25th March ’12, when India has launched herself miles into the era of development, she still has those scratchy nails on her back. While Pakistan continues to occupy a tidy part of J&K, and the US continues to dominate & react inadvertently on our decisions, India is headed to another war springing with time badly, the Maoists. The War within has held upon the Nation’s nerves badly and this is what I am upto this time.

It was just a normal Sunday morning in the boiling heat of Chennai, as I slapped over the pages of The Times of India on a note to find something interesting and involving in it when I had my eyes on a scintillating headline.

“Italians abducted by Maoists in anger against the Government”, said the Headlines which had an innocent looking White man in the pictures along his wife.

The Man, a resident of Italy, who was in India since a long time, as a tourism manager for a tourism & hospitality firm had been abducted by the Maoists on nothing less than a normal day in his life. The Statements released by the Government were sick and rather very amusing.

“We are trying our best, but the man should not have clicked pictures of the tribe”, had aired out a minister in his typical tone.

“Bad, this is really going nowhere. None is looking properly into it, they all seem lost in retailing their budget for the year so that they have plenty to gulp in”, as said by an Inspector.

Where to go, whom to trust, where there are people who don't expect Khokhas in return to do our work?

Corrupt they are, and they breathe an air of it. For there's no shadow that beats down its own marker, but there are reasons if fought for , We, the People of India have to plenty to get answered to.

The tremors are in our own land, We need to bury and end this up.

Why Am I writing this?

It’s simple, I feel I’ve grown up enough in this land to raise my voice against what has been going wrong consistently in this part of the world.

Are law and order just for name in our Nation?

Is the Defense rather just a name than being a team in existence?

They talk big, they pass out matters saying, “We don’t have people in our nation who want to come up and take responsibility”.

And I ask today, “If We really don’t, then would you keep doing this to us?”

A Nation where every morning you’ll find people at tea stalls rowing over political arguments of this nation, where every journey in a train has a compartment where there is a huge clash of opinions if India-Pakistan Division was right & if the reservation exist.

The Part missing out of everyone’s mind, the War which is burning the nation internally, the Maoists , ULFA & other forces, who are just living free & destructing everything within. The War is on, and its within, if there are eyes on this..

Go, do something about it !! If you seek youth, show us the right path.

This will work only when its a mix of those hands who ve seen everything, and those who are ready to do everything.

I ll do what is in my hands, but if you ought to be a reader of this, then voice your concern so that it’s heard.

“For this Nation has seen little of prosperity and more of agony”

Shellshocked in the Locals of Chennai !!

"Let's move out guys", said a tired Sameer.

"But where dude?", it was Rizwaan with his typical craze for all the doubts in the world that came to him.

"Arey, Chal Marina !! Apna Marina Beach ", and there was always a pumped up Mahesh.

"Run , Run , Run", was all I could manage.

It had been quite sometime at our new office, and we were still to be allocated into these IT Projects which mapped the entire globe into one 5 storied building. The Period of doing nothing , was obviously the best time to have fun , roam around the Metropolitan city of Chennai, but trust me, the weather took alot out of that interest. We walked across to the nearest Local Train Station, and there was our train to our Hogwats's "Marina Beach", the longest beach in whole of Asia. Honestly, We were out to chill and have some fun by the waves, but who knew it would not be just an another trip.

We boarded the train, and the train just pulled out in 30 seconds.

"Wow, This is nothing less than Delhi Metro except that it gets a bit more wiped out", I announced it to everyone.

It was my first local train trip in Chennai, so there were definitely some butterflies.

"You like being like this, Don't you Kid ? ", laughed out a jovial Mahesh.

It was awesome, I really did not expected if I'll really enjoy to go out in the rigid daylight of Chennai, but as the train started going past the tall skyscrapers of some top companies on the globe, my eye balls were stuck on them. Suddenly, what happened, is the reason why I composed this.

Whammm !!! And his cheeks were red.

Whammm !!! And his eyes were hue.

Whammm again !!! And I wished if I could stop it.

"Who was he ?".

A normal 15-16 years Lad who was being carried around to someplace to work.Yes, He was a child labour. A Lad who deserved to be putting on his bag and go to instill the wings of education in him, but this was perhaps destiny. We saw a merciless master dropping out slaps as if they were atom bombs at Hiroshima & Nagasaki on a boy who deserved none of it, and was sleeping cozily in the beating sun of Chennai, dreaming the best he could about his life, but quite amazing what he was upto.

"Damn Why", I whispered to Rintu, another friend who was sitting beside me.

All I could see then, was not a shocked Mahesh, a "who cares in the world" Rizwaan, and my other colleagues, it was just that guy, on whom I had dedicated all my attention & praying that he could get up so that the slaps could stop.

The Train reached a passing station & they got down, perhaps the presence of that boy in my life should have departed from my life right then, but it was just then when the situation just stood on me & asked me, "What if it was you ?"

I sat on the beach with my friends, and it kept winding my mind that why in the world I could not do anything than to just see it happen then. "Child Labour" & "Child Abuse" were these mere two words that were included in the Acts of Constitution of India. I saw faces of Mahesh, Rintu, Sameer, Rizwaan & other who wanted to get up and bash the man, but was it right to do so in a city we were just settling in.

What did I do ?

Why I could not ?

If these two were to be answered, I would say, I did not do anything coz I dint had enough courage to standup for that little guy who was getting bashed up by a Guy who seemed full drunk and in a state to do anything. All I could mumble out then was "Aaahh, Why don't you leave him ?"

The question that keeps hitting my mind to date, " Is India really a true Democratic Secular Republic Nation ? "

And I hang out again, to what the next part will come out as a story to shake you from within.

Message :-

I am just a normal citizen of this nation, who wants us, the people of India to rise and fight for the rightful.When I say fight, I mean, give your disappointments a true reason, so that you have people who want to correct them.

Nothing comes as graceful,

As comes talent from heaven,

Nothing stands as apart,

As does truth from the forbidden,

You see a million happy curves down the mile,

what you dont see,

Are often the plastic reasons in those smiles,

Life's been a season & often game,

but there's no reason why there be still complaints,

There are always dreams,

which often fly by,

while there are many,

which just die..

You give yourself a reason,

to stand and live tall,

What you often miss out on,

Is a simple wish,

Give it a push,

Give it a try,

coz there's nothing as delightful,

as is to see self,

Fly by !!

Rock it,

Beat it,

Never just let that rhythm die,

coz for all the different reasons that you end it in a while,

Ders will be a million more,

to Fly By !!

The Reserved and the Unreserved..the eternal battle within

Long back when there was a lost India facing its doom, when even on being one enormous presence on the globe, it was hardly getting its recognition. India was in a lost world, facing the worst of its time, the country was a combination of broken states under different ruling kingdoms - the Royal Mughals, the Englishmen , the Dutch, the Portuguese & many others. While these Kingdoms kept fighting for power in their times, the commons had a huge cold topic settled in their brains. People were cast into classes of recognition, they were provided with a status rank and were treated as per it. The World moved on, but ours stayed the same. Time favoured India and arrived a man with the golden brain - Mr. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, & in few years of his presence in the battle of freedom, India never looked the same again. A line which seemed impossible to be thought of earlier, was now at its feet and India was breathing fresh air of freedom without any restrictions for the first time. Thoug the nation had fought its doom & came victorious, but the battle was yet to be won within, where religionlism & casteism had backfired. In came Mr. Raja Ram Mohan Roy, and he made serious amends to the mentality of the masses, he strived in a revolution which raised the thinking of people. Though the move paid rich dividends, but as had happened earlier, the impact did not left a mark on the whole. Years passed by, India kept enriching her presence in the world, the world within calmed down a bit , the masses were happy with her doing good. The war within kept rolling and unrolling, people got divided in sections of General (GE) , Other Backward Classes (OBC), Minorities, Scheduled Castes (SC) & Scheduled Tribes (ST) with certain numerical percentages reserved for them everywhere. The numbers which seemed a respite at first, had ignited a spark, and it was then when India lost her individuality and got bifurcated into several streams of life. Lots happened in between, the mishaps, the reconsiderations, the unexpected wraths, but they stood together against everything. The numbers thus, were infact the boundaries built in between them. And today, when the Nation is nearing its 54th  year of Independence, I just have a feeling that more than the Government needs to, People need to think over if they need these numbers for their presence, coz now is the time when after diminishing these numbers , India can really come up as one giant superpower where her people are standing are right behind her & working as one, instead of being mere percentage numbers in society. Though at the moment, this remains a thought, the execution & amendments remain open to the mango people.

Lets go India, lets march ahead now..!!

A Slow yet steady change - Rise of Bihar

It was August 2007, when I had to leave Patna for my engineering from Gandhi Institute of Engineering & Technology,Orissa. The years passed by, I heard quite good things about the state and the good things kept increasing down the years. Though I always used to come back during my vacations, but I hardly used to get any chance to observe the changes. Today when I used to get any chance to observe the changes. Today when I have completed my engineering, & resting myself in the break I have before joining an organization, I see things have changed for good around me. The People, the core of any developing process, are now much aware of things happening around and are much open to accept new things which they feel is acceptable and not above the line. Though a section of society has always been there which has not accepted the changes, but with the impact of time, they have not been a barrier. The State Government has marched ahead implementing new plans, working on social welfare, has given due importance to commercial development & the future looks appreciable. Due credits to the Chief Minister, who has worked keeping a target in mind on the long run, as thing around were not in a position to take a U-turn overnight. The process has been a bit slow, coz it needed to be corrected from the roots but has ensured to be a steady one. The future of Bihar certainly seems bright as I walk through these lanes of 2011.

Hours that changed a life

"Walkin away from the shadows,

of my own,

i see things happening now,

in everyway wrong,

they seem all useless,

and people all morons,

coz i've just seen the reality,

 and the happiness seems all gone...

It seems as if,

i was wrong to dream,

and it feels now,

i just want to scream,

the does not even come up,

as easily it used to be,

and i feel now,

i v lost something won, 

i do not see any way out of dis,

i just do not know how to make it,

its gone so different with thes few hours moved on .."

Going Across the Limits where the world says "ITS OVER"

 They say its over if you say NO, and its all back alive, if you really want it to be so.True to the utmost level,things in our lives are just a creation of our perception about them.The way we think about things, the way we look after them & of course, the way we react to them.Its the stimuli that really matters, perhaps its not something which is always predictable.There are moments when we realize our real potential and straightaway lash onto them.Its something which is a typical response of a being.Of course,its none but HUMANS.We lash onto things which we find beneficial for us, we run away from things which are of no use.This is something to which everyone has to accede.Everytime things around get messy, they seem grotesque & take hell of a stride into our lives & make it even more miserable.There are instances at the same time where we think its over, we cannot give it anymore & so, we just step behind without even judging for once if it is really so.Things for sure do not change overnight, but its the efforts and the dedication towards anything,a person really wants to achieve.It is all the same as the famous quote says that "Rome was not built in a day" & that's the bare truth.We cannot achieve anything in just a wink, it takes in something to give out something that really matters.Things have changed in this world, people have become smarter.They know exactly what to do and how to do even before it matters.They have many permutations and combinations to make it to their dreams but just a few of them make it through, some of them give it up half way while some give it up saying it was just a try,to make it across their dreams.They try acting complaisant about their faults but why,does it really matters to people around.What really matters is what you do with your own life, screw it up or just tighten it from everyside & make sure that there's no seepage through it & all the sediments are there when you open it up a day.There are perhaps many stalwarts who have done it in the past & there are still many more on the cards who will make it someday.They don't like being noticed,they do not want people's ovation coz to them, what matters is just their complacency.
            There's no words like "IMPOSSIBLE" in the dictionary of achievers coz they make them possible everytime.There's nothing flimsy in their dreams, there's nothing hollow in what they achieve & that's the reason only why, they make it to the other end of the horizon.And as far as things which we see happening around in this world, it is quite gray.The atrocities in this world have become worse.Now, even they exist in myriad shades but its the ones who really perceive it well & make it to the other side where happiness,joy & manifold of theirs exist.And to me, its only them who make the world a place to live and breathe with a will to feel that "AAL iz WELL ".I ll like to conclude my thoughts with just a quote of my own.              

              "Look into the mirror & see what it reflects,

                Sneak into your heart & find what it beats for,

                 Stare at the night sky & challenge the stars,

                Challenge them that you'll be one of them on the earth,

                And, you ll be the one,

                Who makes it to the other side of the horizon, 

                The horizon which has been left unconquered,

             And everything will be yours,

           Your Life,Your Love & Your Dreams" 

Freaky Engineer

Since the moment,

i saw that sheet,

my eyes have gone red,

and gone is all that sleep...

Everyone around,

has got so busy,

yet i am the one,

running from being so freezy...

All of them,

seem so nerdy around,

i hate them all,

what's so nasty in here,

has the earth gone round...

Even the girls are gone,

mugging their notes,

am i fool,

still copying those wrotes...

I still wakeup late,

when there's everyone awake,

they all just stare,

& have a smile shared,

they still think the same,

stinks so cheap,

"Am gonna beat you,

 & take a big leap"...

I still not understand,

why do i wander,

the dates are so close,

and still i ponder...

Here comes the day,

the clock's running near,

i jump off the bed,

with a little fear...

Arrive those hours,

when schmucks overpower,

yet am the one,

busy taking a shower...

I enter the hall,

so neat & clean,

the questions seem so blurry,

that even my pen refuses to hurry...

I come out of the hall,

hiding all my tears,

those schmucks query me again,

"are you gonna clear"...

I look upto the heaven,

& murmur a little prayer,

"Not this time again,

i'll give my best next time,

& won't let you complain oh dear"...

All those dates,

somehow passed by,

they gave me some pain,

& a few tears...

The days yet again,

seem so nice & clear,

the stage is all set,

with all friends back & again near...

Moments just pass,

giving everytime a smile,

the girls seem so sexy,

after a long while...

The papers are checked,

the results are near,

there are a few worries,

still no fear...

Down comes the day,

i again didn't cleared,

i flush out my mind,

in thick heavy tears...

Everyone around,

pats my back,

& out comes the same line,

i've been listening for years,

"No worries pal,

 next time around,

 you'll sure clear"......

Greenery...Don't end it up !!

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain,

its just so free without any pain,

the soothy smell of this wetty earth,

makes us still feel of the greenery dearth,

the heaven even cries,

for the shed down woods,

the people down here,

are still busy making their food....

Nobody cares what may happen next,

its just few articles and some touchy text,

has anybody ever,

thought of the depletion around,

it might not take long,

when there's nothing left,

except barren grounds....

oh my people !!

just listen to me,

care for the nature,

else we wont be,

care for the greenery,

else the planet wont be....

Recession....where i seemed to loose all,but yet not all

Just don't know,

why this happened with me,

things are so confusing,

which once greeted with glee..

why am i the one,

trapped in this crowd,

there seems to be no opening,

where i can find my ground..

it was a time once,

when i dreamed of earning in dollars,

now is a time,

where i dream to earn..

still waiting for the day,

when these gray cloud disappears,

and am the one,

who conquers this fear..

Only then i ll have,

the dignity to wave at the ones who are near,

and only then i ll have,

the will to lead with utmost cheer..

All the boards,

would be calling me around,

then i ll be the one,

to accept or reject their pounds..

Then will the time,

i have been waiting for so long,

i ll ask her for the ring,

and there will be no obstructing moron..

know this is no time,

to dream so big,

but these are the moments,

i can still cherish..

this is no dream,

but my true life,

and am still ready,

to put up a fight....

RECESSION-You NeVer Know Wats up Next.....

Its not been too long...neither the period has been something really short....but the breakdown of these three to four months has costed many their dreams. Just before Recession struck, there were many who were dreaming of bagging a job whose pay would be in dollars & afterwards, bagging a job even in the national currency was out of the scene.The scene has got even worser with time, the profile of the students have gone to all time low.Especially for those who are pursuing higher studies and were/are on the verge of bagging their careers.With no option left,everyone has now walked out for pursuing higher studies in their respective fields.
Everyone has their own priorities & goals to be targeted once set.And with this rash period on,almost everyone has forgotten about the same.All everyone is thinking about is somehow to meet the basic needs.All we have in hand is a badly accepted compromise whose impact will be there for some good time.Can easily remember times when on meeting the toppers of our senior batch, they used to talk of getting a good job in the giants, as of now they talk of somehow settling somewhere or even being able to make a start.
Sure, this is nothing just a period but for we people who are/were standing at one of the most important stage of our life.Its just like facing this sort of situation was out of expectation.All that is holding us is the patience & self-belief.So,without looking back & getting sad, we are ready to rock and roll.

Come whatever it comes, we are ready to face the blade....!!!!

till i rested on puffy hay,

it was my need,

coz i wanted my soul to lead,

And it was only possible due to dis special ray- One Fine Day.....
