Children of the same womb but divided by States- Time to change

Just yesterday I landed upon an article on Time Of India website mentioning a claim by the Chief minister of Bihar, Nitish Kumar which clearly comes off as a political gimmick to garner votes. I didn't take that article too serious and scrolled down the page to see the comments made by the masses on that article. To my horror, what I came across stunned me; People were disgracing Biharis and talked about throwing them out of their respective states! What made it worse was it were 'educated' people who talked such rubbish. 

As mentioned in the constitution of India; India is a secular country granting the freedom of movement to it's citizens. But the way in which my country fellows were bad mouthing their own countrymen made me furious. Racism prevailing towards Indians in another nation can be understood, however, racism amongst Indians itself is a fact which actually makes me ashamed of my country and that too just because of some stupid politician's politics makes the whole thing seem awful!

Well, my folks before pointing towards and hating your own countrymen, remember the fact that the Indian soldiers fighting on the border of our country lay down their lives to protect "India" not just a single state. And yes, just have a read through this article pointing out our country's flaws effortlessly. If you felt anything for your country after reading that backlash on India, continue to call yourself an Indian. Please stop this prejudices based upon state, before coming off as a Punjabi or Gujrati or Maharashtrian, to the world you are an Indian. Stop getting carried away by these politicians say, you know the age-old adage "United we stand, divided we fall". India will be a superpower one day only if all its citizen will put in collective effort.

    I saw those comments and was surprised too. Fact is, poverty makes people (from anywhere in the world) do things they don't want to. The next time it becomes easier. Hopefully this isn't an excuse for stealing or being dirty by anyone, anywhere.

    I found your blog via indiblogger.in. I find the posts to be very good. They are what I try my blog to be: personal experiences, yet informative. I suppose all blogs try that but yours does it better than others.
    I have added you to my Reading List, and clicked on your ad (I know that is important to AdSense members).
    Keep on blogging!

Review: Himalaya Acne-n-Pimple Cream

Image
Back in the day when I was facing my share of troubled skin, I had come across this Himalaya product in the trolley of a fellow shopper during a grocery haul. Post that initial sighting, I quickly marched to the relevant aisle to get hold of this product. Honestly, I have zero recollection of how this cream reacted to my skin and had almost forgotten that I've used this cream in my war against acne until Himalaya Herbals contacted me to review the product. Now, my face is no longer covered with zits of varying intensity all the time. Hence, I was on the verge of declining the opportunity. But the universe works in mysterious ways. My brother got a terrible breakout and thereby became a perfect specimen to examine the working of this cream on!  Product's Claim Himalaya Acne-n-PimpleCream promised to control pimples and scars while keeping the skin soft. Himalaya says that this product is a formulation containing Silk Cotton Tree, Lentil, Aloe Vera and Saurashtri,

Chapter 2: Such A Long Journey

You can read the first chapter here ) __________ “The number you are trying to call is currently busy, please try again later.” was what Shekhar could hear on the other end of his call. He sighed and assured himself that indeed she must be busy at work.  “I’ve boarded the train back home, and will reach by tomorrow. Call me ASAP.” he typed in a jiffy and sent the message to Tara, his wife, and slouched in his seat. He couldn’t help but think of Tara and how strained their relationship has become, not that it had been a healthy one erstwhile, but now it took a lot of effort even to communicate! They went days and sometimes even weeks without seeing each other although they lived together under the same roof; she'd be up and out even before the sun’s first rays hit the earth and home a
