Worldly things

  You are not brainy Unless you have money! You can't get even honey With pocket having penny! Adding to your misery The face being ugly, Making hard to live you happily! I will be called grumpy, To complain about things That are petty, When corona is engulfing our society! But corona being temporary, These issues have been plaguing our society since eternity, Dragging people into anxiety, Only weening about things related to monetary, Keeping them away from tranquility!

Democracy Blindfolded

 A very old idol of Devi Annapoorna is returning to India from Canada. It is indubitably a proud moment for all of us. But is it not a irony that the people who are responsible for food in our plates( the real Annapoornas) , are on roads and are not allowed to enter Delhi, water cannons and tear gas are being used to disperse them. Isn't it their right to protest? Can't they express their dissent to the government?  If the farm laws are in favour of farmers then it is government's responsibility to assure farmers of new rights and opportunities which will be provided by these laws. But unfortunately government is trying to suppress the movement instead of hearing their plight and concerns and clearing their doubts. Lack of communication between people and government is not good for democracy because democratic government is of the people, by the people and for the people. To make the matter worse, protestors are being tagged as anti national by public and media as if t

DESIRE

  Empty streets, trees for shade You have miles to walk straight! People are considerate With their measurements accurate😛 Serenity in the space Without any rat-race! My kind of happy place That the demon  hates! To know the demon, click below⬇️

MANN ki BAAT

Q: Any count of migrant workers? PM: Who cares? Q: How many MSMEs got shut down? PM: You keep your mouth shut! Q: Any data of health workers who died while serving the people amid this pandemic? PM: Why do you wanna know? Just take a chill pill man!! Q: When will economy start to recover? PM: God knows! After all it's an Act of GOD! Q: What are you doing to mitigate common people's suffering? PM: We are committed to AAM( Ambani, Adani, Modi) आदमी betterment! Q: There are signs of increase in inequalities in society due to ongoing crisis. Any comments! PM: Try to be happy in others' success. Q: Millions of people are unemployed. What steps are taken by government? PM: We are planning to start Central Vista project and it will create employment opportunities for sure!! (after all people are required to build it) Just a hypothetical interview i imagined and it will remain to be. Because our beloved PM has not been addressed press conferences since his tenure star

Digital Divide

Education, a medium to fill up the differences in society and to give new perspectives to people's mindsets. Education, a way to achieve equality and to end prejudices against the vulnerables. Education that leads a nation on the path of progress and prosperity. Presently, the whole world is struggling to combat the impact of ongoing pandemic on every aspects of life. But if we talk about its future implications, the void created in the education sector will have major consequences, because the prolonged closure of schools & institutions is affecting the equal accessibility of educational reach to children. According to recent NSO Report on Education, only 24% of households have internet access in which rural households have merely 4% accessibility. It indicates that there is huge digital divide. Students who have ease of access to internet will go ahead of the students who are deprived of internet facilities. Although a colossal gap already exists in the quality of education

ACT OF GOD

From the silence on roads to the noise of vehicles, from clear blue sky to the dark gray clouds, from isolated to socialising with rules, from lockdown to Unlock 4.0, people have moved on. But this pandemic has turned people's lives upside down. 50-60,000 Corona cases are being daily reported, 18.9 million people have lost their jobs, Large number of small businesses are on verge of collapse, Sharp fall in consumption, Disinvestment in government assets, No or poor digital connectivity to significant number of students, -23.9% GDP in first quarter of FY20-21 A few things are mentioned here, the reality is far more worse. But is it only an ACT OF GOD or government's way to free itself from the responsibility? For that, just look at some data of last years; GDP growth rate trends: 8.3% in 2016-17 to 7% in 2017-18, 6.1% in 2018-19, 4.2% in 2019-20, Irregularities in paying GST compensation to States for last one year shows that Indian economy is not in healthy conditi

PHOTOGRAPH

19th August, World Photography Day, the day to appreciate the art of photography and the significance of photographs in our life. Photograph, a window to catch a glimpse of your past, A door, leading your way to relive the past! A souvenir of the moments you lived, A sea of flashbacks you are diving in! Each photograph tells a story, Which is audible to its characters only! Some are posed, some are candid, Focal is, the moment it seized! It has been on a long journey, From black and white to coloured, From reel camera to digital ones! But it has never lost the track, The magic is still intact, Making it everyone's dearest!

Demon

A demon residing inside a body, Don't let it live like everybody! Sucking every drop of its blood, Dragging it down in a pool of mud! As much it tries to elude, The more it is glued! Each cell is pleading for help, But he is determined to turn it into ash! Whatever it intakes, Makes the body blake, Its mental peace is at stake ! Despite tried everything insane, All went in vain! It seems cranky to the world, As it is difficult to explain them an invisible, invincible trouble!

DEPRESSION

Person suffering from depression, Sitting idle with no expressions, Drowning himself into dejection! Why is he in this situation? It is a real question, That must be taken into consideration! Is it about expectations? Or inability to cope up with adverse conditions? Albeit everyone goes through depression, But no one talks about it because of hesitation, As mental illness is still a taboo in our nation. But there is dire need of communication, To open up about emotions, To stop the turbulence in the ocean! It is a way to take him out of depression, Or at the least, Make him brave to face tides in the ocean!!

DIVERSITY

Color makes everything lively but human skin colour is an exception, it can take someone's life . There is a history of prejudice, discrimination over race, caste, color, creed, religion, sex and all possible categories people can think of. But why is it so? Why does human hate another human? Human species is created after so many evolutions, does nature invest so much in us just to spread hatred, violence? Indubitably, human is superior to other species, he has conscience, he has language to express, he can use his mind to innovate and create, he is aware of his surroundings and has maximum adaptability. But this superiority makes human arrogant, selfish, callous and insensitive to others. When nature has created us as one species, who are we to discriminate people on the basis of their phenotypes or genotypes? If we all have same qualities, aesthetics, thoughts or beliefs, life would have become monotonous. As we are able to think logically and have conscience, we sho

SERENITY

Appreciation comes with a sense of responsibility, You can't take things lightly. You have to go with certain pace, As of now, People are following your page (it is little exaggerated as i have to keep up with cadence😛), You shouldn't make them wait. But sometimes you are going through a phase, When there is nothing in your brain. But I guess brain is not at any fault, It is me who is not able to direct thoughts, Along a desired course. Then my father comes as a source of light, Who is a devoted follower of Vipassana course. It is a technique to know yourself from core, A process to make your heart pure. It teaches you to remain in equanimity whether the situation is good or worse. But why am i discussing it in this converse? Because it is important to be in serenity to enable your mind to work, To organise thoughts to create an artwork, And it is possible when you are the master of your mind. Though Vipassana is not just about concentration, It is about

MIRAGE

The migrant workers, Our house makers, product makers, Those who make possible the existence of manufacturers, Presently clueless about their futures. But what they know, They have to reach their homes at any cost! Scorching heat can't stop them to take extreme measures, They are walking thousands of kilometers with their children, Devoid of money, food, water and shelter, They are dying of hunger! Their pain is unbearable, Words cannot express their dismal. Government has taken some steps to lessen their troubles, But upto what extent these are helping workers? Train fares are so high, they are not able to buy the tickets, And if they, unable to get on it. And some trains are running so late, People are dying of hunger in trains. Then what difference it makes? Is there any cure for their pains? . . . Ohh! I remember, Prime minister has announced economic relief package of 20 lakh crores(10% of GDP), And held 5 days marathon to unbox this package. So, wh

LOVE

A familiar creature Who is nutso about apparel, Never pleased with her attire, Whether her wardrobe is full of different textures, So annoying character! Weddings intensify this trouble And proves to be torture when it is hers! She wants new one for every function, But somewhere in her heart, She craves for a dress of her mother, May be she loves traditional, Or, as she is going far away from her, She wants to feel her essence Of all the years she has spent with her, Nothing can beat the sanctity of this gesture, As it becomes her best souvenir, That reminds of her mother!

The UNAPPRECIATED WORKFORCE

Hey folks! How's your life going? I know it is crime to ask this amid lockdown😛 but i hope you all are doing good. Well, everyone is fighting with this pandemic in their own way. But some are in the battleground facing the enemy directly to protect us. We owe them a lot and we'll never be able to repay them. But there are other sections in the society as well who are also doing significant work yet they are less acknowledged. Who are they? who are also working from the first day, Any guesses!! I'll tell you anyway, They are bankers, quarantine centers workers, essential commodities providers and some who have not been recognized till today! Let's talk about Bankers, who are responsible for the circulation of currency in market. Deal with a huge number of customers everyday! They handle cash and provide it to needy, Having risk of getting infected, still doing this selflessly, That too endlessly! Now, come to the quarantine centers workers, i don't

The Bleak Verse

Wanna write something , But brain says you have nothing, seems it is maintaining social distancing  With my pen and musing! It is alarming  Making my blog boring, I have just started, can't afford it!! How to make it interesting , I need contemplating! What can i do, what can i do? Nothing is new I am screwed! Life is left with no hue, Yet we can go through! What about those, Who are still on roads Having no abode Their trust is eroded,  Schemes that are quoted  Are just sugar coated!! I think Human is wearing a blind folded, As he can't see what is being promoted!!

LIFE

Life, a series of unfolded, unforeseeable and erratic episodes. Each episode can give u goosebumps, still u wait for another one, that's the magic of life. If u know the climax of any series, u loose the charm to watch it, same happens with life. The thrill of life exists in its uncertainty. U can't plan all the things. More or less u have to leave it to destiny. People say they don't believe in fate but consciously or unconsciously , they r somewhat product of their destinies. Undoubtedly , life is a mystery and it can only be solved by ur intuition or instinct and it is where u have to believe in yourself and God. And that is how life goes on. We all find more pleasure in listening radio as we r unaware of upcoming songs. Life is exactly the same, u never know, what happens next!! Yet it is only one side of coin. Life is about balancing both sides. U have to make plans for a settled life while sustaining its mysterious aspect.

MEMORIES: The IRRFAN Saga

MEMORIES, take us to the paths we have once crossed, make us travel to the time we cherish or to the time we despise. Memories are something that we can't efface from our core self. These r our spare time muse, make us laugh or woeful and presently we better understand it. The way of recalling memories gives u the insight into a person's outlook towards life. Some like to remember lovely ones and some are stuck to horrendous ones. Some episodes of life where brain ask," how long do i have to remember it?" N u willingly said,"Remember it always!!" But life doesn't always give u lemonade. There r such memories u just want to erase as if never happened.  Life is a race, everyone wants to run ahead of time and amidst this, we tend to forget things if there is nobody to tell them as person recollects only extreme ones that give him utter elation or desolation. But life exists between these extremes i.e. modest memories where one can be hopeful and see light a
