Papa take me home
She sat silently under the tree sobbing; there was no one in this world who could understand the pain she went through.  She decided she will speak to the head madam today, everyone called her mam. After the breakfast while she was heading to the class, she saw mam coming from the opposite direction. Her eyes twinkled and she ran towards her and sa... more...

The hope survives
Adi opened his eyes lazily and was startled to realize it was 7, he jumped out of the bed; he was late by half an hour. He ran to the bathroom and suddenly it dawned on him that it was a Sunday. Looking into the mirror he thought how much he had changed, he didn’t even have count of days. It has been ages since he had smiled; life had taken a compl... more...

Revolutionize System
My last bog “Politically ignorant” has made me thinking on a serious note, “if given a chance will I ever enter politics? The answer was a big “NO”. Then I thought about sunshine’s gb entry that since educated people don’t go and vote, we deserve such a government. Why don’t we vote? Do I really have some great choices to vote for? There would be a... more...

Politically Ignorant
When it comes to Politics, I don’t mind calling myself as cent percent politically ill-literate. I seriously don’t understand the art of becoming a minister, chief minister or for that matter even PM. From the little I know or what I have observed stronger the criminal background bigger is your chance to get a seat as MLA or MP. Such are the heroes... more...

Perplexity
I am upset and aggravated as of now. Why the hell things can’t be easy in life. You try and do something good to the best of your extent and this society and people around will make sure to bring down your morale. A big emotional decision is equally tough for me too, even I am a human why the hell people can’t accept or take things straight? Why do... more...

Determination
It’s been quite sometime since I really wrote something, its not that I didn’t made an effort, I did quite a few times but then somehow nothing seemed correct either I was at loss of words or was not too sure what I really wanted to write so it was just closing those files after scribbling something.

Boomerang
I create a ruckus if I fall sick, be it headache or fever, I create so much noise that everyone knows that I am sick.

Male or Female?
You might not have known this,  but a lot of non-living objects are actually either male or female.  Here are some examples:  FREEZER BAGS: They are male, because they hold everything in, but you can see right through them.
