through the hole in the box .....

Dreaming day and night  you've always wished it was true ,
yet you did things because you had to .

not much to move around for ,
you've seen what others never saw .

This is where you thought you belong ,
for this you've struggled hard and long ,
you know you have reached your acme,
and it will take long to beat your pace .

Admired by some and envied by a lot ,
a smiling face and thoughts full of sorrows ,
you are the only one who knows ,
what you've lost is far more ,
in the battles fought .

You lay folded , waiting to be poked ,
you are calm on the surface,
strong , magnetic , full of force
yet somewhere down under you are choked .

No threshold excites you ,
things are stale ,nothing is new ,
you have no option but to continue ,
to find what , where and how is you .

Dawn or dusk you are left to ponder ,
waiting for the equinox ,
when will I breathe ? ......you wonder ,

THROUGH A HOLE IN THE BOX ! 

said the female child ......

Said the female child to the male child ,

I come from the country where Indira Gandhi , Kiran Bedi , Barkha Dutt , Aishwarya Rai and countless more women have made their countrymen proud , they have excelled far more than a lot of you .
My Dad gave me the same education as your dad gave you , while you played cricket and football I learnt how to dance , sing , make sketches and many things more . I worked hard during college to prove my mettle while you felt it was a good time to devote to friends than to those paying for your education . When I was struggling to get an internship you just got a fake certificate .
Your Dad would love to be known as the father of an achiever , my dad is no different , so would he . I am taught to cook and study at the same time . Unlike the likes of you I have no interest in 'ADAM TEASING ' ( as I would term sexual harassment if it ever happen to males the way it does to females ). 3.9 million or more of us are becoming victims of  foeticide , human trafficking , rapes and assaults all over the world , with no second thoughts I can vouch it is thanks to the demands created by you .
I can be a bread earner to a house maker at the same time , yet it doesn't occur to you to value my presence in your family . If I ever said no to your proposal of getting intimate with you , your basic instinct of repulsion of the feeling of rejection by me would be enough to leave a everlasting scar on my character . I don't give a similar treatment is not because I am mentally or physically incapable of inflicting pain on you ( for those who question female physical strength : research shows that if a man were to carry a baby in his stomach for 9 months and then deliver it safely outside he would probably have to give his own life ) , moreover all I need is to press a trigger to punch a bullet through your brain cells . It is just that I would prefer long lasting methods which include legalities and reforms and I believe in not carrying negativity around me by sheltering hatred against you .
I am not threatened by you , by your presence in this world , even as we continue to decrease in number thanks to the atrocities targeted on us by you .

You know what , even though you have done enough bad to me let me do this good to you , remember , today its me , yesterday it was your mum and tomorrow it will be your daughter writing the same words until you STOP !!

To this the male child had nothing to say ..........

Fatty's funny fortunes

When the first time a baby opens his eyes , everyone waits for the first word which may pop out of his mouth . Will he/she say 'Ma' or 'Pa' . From then on begins a journey of watch and learn or  fall and learn . The reason why our folks at home and teachers at school do this is because we are being prepared for a world where both good and bad exists . The environment of the school or that of our homes is that of a really protected one , one can not deny that in spite of all the learning in the growing years when we actually face the the real shit , we might be in for a big tremor . Lets just talk about the initial days when mum and dad pay for books , pencils and toys . Like all systems there can be a lot of loop holes in the domestic system (environment at home) or the educational system (school environment) , the repercussions of these can be very severe and and can damage an individual's personality to a considerable extent .

The school is where most of the day of a child goes , also the duration of that time is such that the child might be at his/hers most receptive level , whatever he/ she will see/hear or read/write  can be a boon or a bane . I remember this one instance when my brother came back from school and my father asked him for one of his text books , now since dad is of a very disciplined nature he tends to get irritated at careless attitudes of people ...so , my brother couldn't find this note book of his and we both knew he is going to get a good one from dad  . That day we gave him a big lecture that he should be careful and should learn to value things , I also had a slight entertainment at watching him study like an ass in the evening , just so he could not get another thrashing . A week passed and we got new books for him , then this one day he comes back from school , drenched in sweat and panting like a horse . He had found those books , they were stolen by one of his class mates , who comes from a disturbed background as he told us  . We asked him all sought of questions like how he found , who had it and what did he do to that guy who stole it ..etc etc . My brother is a very sharp kid for a 13 year old if you ask me , ruthless but at the same time a very good judge of the situation . During the maths class his teacher was busy solving the paper in the recent exam , in which he was obviously not interested , I don't know if he was bird watching at this age or if he was adding more kilos to his already expanding frame , but whatever it was it sure did help this guy to point out his book in his classmates hand , after he was sure it was his , he did not go straight to the guy to claim his book , the question in his mind was has he stolen the second book as well ? So communicated with his class monitor and in the games period while every one was out he and the monitor checked the bag of this little suspect . The daily dose of CID and crime patrol series probably came to his rescue here , my ' Humpty Dumpty ' was right . He and the monitor decided to keep quite about this and just went and informed the class teacher , all three the class monitor , the child who had stolen the books and my brother were called in the teachers room , the play station freak pin pointed my dad's hand writing in the book and the fact that the binding was torn . The teacher asked that child to call his parents , then she did what she had to do , but since my brother had found the books at last , he wanted to flaunt the detective skills to my father . 

Dad being from the defense back ground has always been supportive of us in such matters and encourages us to fight our own battles .He was thrilled that his son used his presence of mind , he felt at least tomorrow no one can dare to cheat this chap . I swear bit left out , as if his generation was smarter than mine , but the fact that he would not repeat my mistakes really comforted me . That day we three had a hearty laugh during luncheon and I can bet dad must have been comparing my brother with the like of Sherlock Holmes ....phew!! some parents really need to control there excitement levels on watching there children eat there first piece of chicken .

Any how there will always be a lot more on fatty's funny fortunes ...:)

....time for smart voting ...

I keep reading about Anna's movement , for those who don't know he is one of the most aggressive activists modern India has seen . Though somewhere I feel it is very unfair to have a 74 year old man carry the hopes of the entire Indian population . Today I read about this woman who was very deeply inspired by the whole movement and was very much a victim of the constant price hikes , corruption etc ......well ultimately she signed of with a note saying " Youths have to pay to get jobs . Life of the common man has become miserable because of corruption and price rise ."...Shubhangi Karande had two children , was living a normal married life , facing what every Indian working and house wife has faced in the recent past . She committed suicide in the support of Anna's anti- corruption agitation . No , I am certainly not tagging Anna as a bad influence or anything but what I would like to bring to notice is that ...We are the new smart Indians , we should not be hanging ourselves up or popping pills because we see no cure or because we feel our sacrifice will make a difference . Sadly for Shubhangi her death won't be such a great investment in todays democratic , legislative and judicial India . 

Back in the days of Mahatma Gandhi not only were the people been ruled by foreigners , the entire Bharat Chodo Andolan meant the entire nation standing together . Today the difference is , people are much more educated they hold their rights , they have their duties to complete and most importantly we are ruled by " US" . Our government is made of our fellow citizens , our constitution has been drafted and enforced by our fellow citizens , OUR FELLOW CITIZENS ARE CHOSEN BY US . Corruption is not a tiny ant one can squeeze out in a day or for that matter run behind it for a month or two and then stamp over it with  frustration  , it is indeed a colonization of those of us who decided to take things for a stride , because no one was supervising or because there were loop holes in the system . Therefore all this movement , running on the streets , shutting down of shops everything .....is a start but in order to eradicate the roots of the malignant cancer in our system " CORRUPTION " , we better start with making the right choices . Anna today at the age of 74 is standing up to guard the population wherein 54 % includes youngsters . With commercialization competition increased so much that in order to prove ourselves we became all individualistic etc ...but somewhere we did become SELFISH , or else why won't you stop your friend from bribing administration department to get the results out before time , or in Delhi language use 'Jugaad ' here and there . We should all be street smart , but should someone else suffer because of us ??? Mutual co- habitation is what we need , behaving like parasites and going up at the cost of others or kicking others down to find a way through will eventually get you kicked out .....It all goes around in a loop ...KARMA ...I guess, or why else would the corrupt politicians be shuddering at the thought of one letter sent to the prime minister by Anna . Its definitely started ..the move to swipe corruption out  is catching pace and as the young blood of today's India for once lets take a break from smart banking ,smart phones, smart shopping, smart dating etc ...Ladies and gentlemen its time for some smart voting in order to have a government that's smart enough to understand ....NO BODY IS A FOOL . .................P.S : DEEP REGARDS TO Mr Anna Hazare   

why escape ??

why escape ??

This blog is for those who are lost in the darkness of drugs , from my side herbal or not ...till the time one loses their sense of jugdement and refrains from facing life ...its a loss that can never be compensated . When someone is in college and it seems like everybody does it ...it can be called a phase I guess ...hmmm its a way of enjoying , celebrating and being the rebel , but when people take the help of these substances to escape into the short lived happiness then they see no looking back . Also I truly believe its not the matter of being judgemental of someone who smokes pot , smokes like a chimney etc but it is trivial to know why they see it as an option to run away from things which aren't under their control . No one is born as a perfect anyone, life is given to learn , to try and test and adapt . Madness is a good way of finding the importance of sanity , had there been no death there would be no life . Which is why it should be a fad and not a lifestyle, someone who has been through substance abuse  should undersatnd the darkness that comes with it , but I see so many who don't want to fight . To this many would say that they do but ...its simple logic you would when you want to . I have tried and tested most of the things and maybe its the way  I am groomed up I found it to be one of those things which fancy so many but when it comes to reality these things have a weak and vulnerable foundation. A strong person would not get addicted even if they tried but the weak ones who initially fear it and curse it ..land up as victims . The human being is a social animal and for which it has to be emotionally physically and mentally sound . The world of drugs makes you so involved with lie that the truth fails to rescue you. Someone who doesn't respond to the society , doesn't care for people doesn't live life is called a mentally ill person . My question is are these who adapt to a short lived world of hallucinations to escape the reality are they just addicts or from a broader view escapists ???
