“Calvin and Hobbes”- a tribute……..

The whiny little kid and his stuffed animal are according to me the only effective remedy to depression, sadness or any thing on the negative side……..
No matter what sad mood I am in they always crack me up. Not just that they put forth so many ways of looking at things... I mean the kid is awesome in his point of views….. (No denying the superior creativity of the creator Bill Watterson. I can’t thank you enough for creating these characters.)
Hmmm getting back on track, I just adore the way Calvin puts forth words of which I have no clue of (I use my dictionary more diligently while reading them) and the way he justifies his selfish intentions with exceedingly noble value system….
There are also points where I feel absolute astonishment at the fact that he is kid who everybody hates to love, who drives everyone crazy, make people so mad that they want to tear him apart but end up as someone who you cannot help but adore.
There is not anything more to say about the comics……because whatever I say will fall short to its uniqueness ….

THE DEBATE WHICH IS ON.....

I may receive much criticism for the posting that follows. I strictly base this writing on what I consider is my understanding of the subject; what I have witnessed from my briefest of contact with real rural India and which I have debated with myself a million times. 33% reservation for women!!!!!!!! This has been taken up as the call of the hour the need of our times……I say why not….. QUESTION: Women have always wanted EQUALITY in our society; so why now this 33% reservation………. THE REALITY: EQUALITY has for long been the passion of women’s movement worldwide; just like other how everyone who is socially conscious longs for peaceful, just, equal world. But is this so in the real context. What we long for needs time for achievement. But progressive aspects like “EQUALITY” happen only when De Jure and De Facto fall on similar planes ………… In reality women lack equal footing in many cases, this 33% would be a boost towards achieving a push forward. Also women Panchayat leaders are looki

Carnage

Untimely events shape the outcome of many circumstances. These events can alter the setting of any entity. The constant splatter of raindrops seemed as an intruder in the otherwise quite graveyard. The shower seemed to challenge the stillness of the graveyard with its thunder and lighting. These events however made no difference to the lone man standing by the freshly marked grave. The grave served as nothing more than a door unlocking the innocent dreams of the past.......... The shrieks of joy served to create an electrifying atmosphere in the playground. This joyous kingdom of innocence is probably the only place where celebration of life never ceased. Waqar trudged along the muddy path towards the playground. Following him Aaliya walked hurriedly to keep pace with him. On reaching the playground Waqar searched for his closest buddy, Padma. Padma on seeing them, rushed to join her buddies. The trio basically inseparable joined the other children in the game of hide and seek. A bolt

Mourning for our media

Rape, Murder, Molestations, Harassment's….have become a part of daily life but still we purposefully avoid the seriousness of issues. And this is well recognized and projected effectively by our loyal consumerism promoting Fourth Estate (who by the way follow point-blank guidelines set by the elite and socially powerful individuals) In fact they even go to an extent of justifying their media content by labeling themselves as “Infotainment Channels” and not merely the clear cut/ straightforward “News Channels”. You see “News Channels” need to have a political stand on issues, They have to be a responsible media, They have be mirrors of our society, They need focus to be the “change elements”……………. Unfortunately this is asking for too much from our celebrity crazed, advertisement dependent, TRP bound News …uhm.. Sorry Infotainment channels. The numerous problems of evictions, displacements and lopsided development projects do not find their place in today’s media: Instead celebrity w
