Chimerical echoes

Imagine a place, Where knowledge remains unbound, Where questions mark quality, And curiosity Remains the essence of excellence, Not bound by time, Freed by thoughts, With an enlightened spirit- To lead a revolutionary army; And make way for CHANGE....... To undo the wrongs and redo the rights.

Thoughts frozen, Words forgotten.....

Naina peered out of the line. It would take definitely another hour before her turn would come up. Tired she sat down awaiting her turn. As soon as she sat down her thoughts started to wander to the household. She wondered if Sanu, her eldest had fed her sister and her grandmother. Eleven years old but already grown up, Sanu was her only help with the household work. Well past her eight month of pregnancy, there was very little that Naina could get done nowadays. By the time she had finished her so called, namesake “check-up” at the health center and started for home, it was already noon. Under the scorching sun, with pangs of hunger creeping in, she went along the path leading to her village. Arriving home by dusk, she immediately lay down at the corner by the kitchen floor. Nothing eventful happened that night. Her mother-in-law’s usual sarcasm and her husband’s drunken ramblings continued. Her husband had stopped beating her months ago with an expectation that the present child sh...

What does it feel to grow up as an orphan in India? What does it feel like to become a millionaire? What does it feel like to betray? What does it feel like to starve? What does it feel like to see a murder? What does it feel like to be lucky? What Does It Feel Like To Know That "IT IS WRITTEN" ?????????????? Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire appeals to all these elements making you realize that its a HARD life but people go on living. The social order of the life in the slums , the ambitions/lusts for power and the usual play of destiny makes the movie an honest and bold statement of India. Though the movie underlines the lives of the ordinary, it is not a tragic or a gripping tale of sorrow; instead it showcases the extraordinary lives of the ordinary whom the world passes by without a second glance. The movie probes through all the issues from riots to prostitution,high society mumbai underworld to young fanatics of Big B..... The movie is a truthful documentation of L...

As a country that supposedly gained its Independence from non-violent means the hypocrisies that continues in the nation are countless. In fact, the suppression that happens in the country remains vigilantly demarcated and prevails under layers of countless constitutional acts, amendments, laws institutions and finally powerful individuals. The fight for democracy in our country has not received the rightful attention it deserves. The non-ceasing crusade for justice and equality by the numerous human rights activist’s remains muted and cleverly concealed by authority. Fuelled with consumerist culture, the privileged in the country find it hard to imagine the “iron curtain” that is in existence in the country. As well informed and media savvy individuals of country there are many among us who do not know about Irom Sharmila or the AFSPA. Not a controversial issue as the North –East region of our country has remained for long distant and remote to us. In fact, we “mainland Indians” have...
