Life Unpacked

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 politic...

Well, being sorry is a thing I have been doing since, yesterday. I had encountered some internet connectivity errors in past days. I desperately wanted to post about my extremely fabulous day in South Mumbai, 9th March but this silly problem played a spoil-sport. Also, I am feeling terribly uninspired! Yeah, vacation blues have finally hit me. Err, again sorry for just ranting on these petty issues, time for a good news: My first article, concerned with a loop-hole in the Indian Education System, has been published yesterday on The Youth Express magazine's website! Check it out  here . I can't explain how happy I am. Ahem, I'm really sorry again because as I stated earlier; I'm actually too uninspired. I am doing nothing these days except watching a lot of soap operas on television! This is something I have always refrained doing (I even hate watching television in the first place) but now, I can't think of a better alternative to kill my time. Yep, my bad inte...

You can't blame me, I already told you the reason for my absence beforehand. It's not that I don't wish to write, they say "Writing, scribbling or venting out thoughts enriches talent" well I'm a firm believer of this idiom. Leaving apology stuff aside, I wish to draw attention to a thing which people generally render unnecessary: 'company of thyself'. Yeah if you remember, things were working out pretty bad with me, what I had joyfully asked from God had turned into a reason of my agony. Now I have soared above that situation and actually discovered that it wasn't my college which had driven me into making such confession, it was the friends group I had fallen into! They rightly say; Your friends character affects you. Hence, falling into the company of people who basically didn't seemed to bother about anything had affected me; A person housing a wandering spirit within herself snapped all her interest just because the environment wasn't...

I know it has been too long since, I updated you people. The reason for my prolong absence was just being unmotivated. Cutting short my apologies I have some great news to share; I have landed up an Internship as a writing intern at The Youth Express magazine! Great news, isn't it? But unfortunately my blog might see less of me during the six weeks course of my Internship. Well leaving this to be decided by the future, I declare my day as it went: Awesome! I was a tourist in my own city again (Remember when I visited Bandra for the first time?) exploring Dadar. Also I got Cloud9 energy drink samples in college for free hence, I gobbled down 2! And yes, I'm not guilty about it :P Great view of the Bandra-Worli seallink from Dadar Chowpatty It just was a sheer coincidence; I bumped into a friend from school with whom I'm barely in contact with now at Bandra station. I just asked him why is he at Bandra station to which he replied he is going to Mahim Dargah with his co...

It's the Valentine's Day today, just another reason for people to celebrate! Okay, I'm not criticizing it, not at all. But I'm criticizing the hype people have made out of it, can this day be left as a day meant for celebrating Love and companionship rather than going over-the-board just to show-off? Isn't the day meant for people to take pride in their 'in a relationship' status? Nobody wants to be left isolated on this day, watching other couples rejoice, but does that means forcing yourselves into a relationship? Yeah, the previous question I asked may sound bizarre but it's a truth. Many people today, just because they don't want to be left out on this day force themselves into a relationship; how kiddish and insane is that! Previously, I have written these two posts which confines itself within the boundaries of love and plays around with this very topic: Shakespeare and Love at first sight and The most exploited word "Love" . In b...

Whilst in the college library today, I chanced upon the book "The Prophet" by  Khalil Gibran . We had an extract from this book in 10th grade hence, I pretty much pounced at the opportunity and flipped through the book. There is this question by a Lady being answered by the Prophet concerned with  Joy and Sorrow, to which  Prophet says (Note: It's my interpretation of the lines): Joy and sorrow both go hand in hand. Both of them are the two sides of a same coin, the thing that caused joy before is the reason for the sorrow now. If you just wander in search of joy you will never find it. Like a cup which holds wine has to be baked in the heat of an oven similarly, receiving joy without braving Sorrow turns down the purpose of joy. Well, I have been feeling terrible from past few days because of the reason mentioned in the last post. I applied the Prophet's say in my situation and all I can say is; It has replenished my energy and hope to tackle all ...

I acknowledged the mistake I made, I even admitted it. I realized, thought the college I chose for myself was the one I eagerly wanted to be a student of, I regret the decision I made. It was just an another morning when I was discussing Train schedules with my dad and the at a particular point, when he pinpointed that choosing DG Ruparel College instead of St. Andrew's College would have been a better bet, I gave in and unconsciously I admitted the wrong choice I made. This drained out feeling which settled into me since my first day seemed something that was concerned with me being new to train travelling but now I'm acquaint with the fact that it has strings attached to me being unhappy in this college. No, I'm not at all saying St. Andrew's is bad, but the thing is thought it has everything a college should posses, I'm trapped in a class of students who are bitterly monotonous and do not like experimenting and exploring, a thing which should be done in colleg...
